mistakes in time

Newt just sits there, looking at the sleeping boy in his lap. He half wants to wake him, ask him to tell him what he meant, but he's so adorable when he sleeps. Newt smiles slightly. He leans back against the wall and closes his eyes, falling asleep to Thomas's soft breathing. 

Thomas wakes him the next morning, gently shaking him awake. "Newt?" He whispers. "Newt, wake up."

Newt blinks against the sun and opens his eyes. "Oh!" He gasps. "Tommy!"

"That's me." He says. He shifts, fiddling with his fingers. "Listen, about last night-"

"No, Tommy, don't." Newt says. "I don't want to hear you saying how you didn't mean it, how you regret saying it, how it wasn't true, that you were just tired. I don't want to hear it. I don't. Because I'm sure you didn't. Why would you? But I don't want to hear that come out of your mouth. I don't think I could take it."

"Newt, I-" Thomas starts. "I wasn't-I wasn't going to-I don't want-You don't-I-"

"Tommy, I'm gonna need a complete sentence here." Newt says. 

Thomas takes a deep breath and looks at him. "I-" He sighs. "I just-" He groans, burying his face in his hands.

Newt puts a hand on his shoulder. "Tommy, tell me. It's okay. Just tell me." 

"I can't." Thomas mumbles. "I can't. I can't lose my only friend because of a stupid crush."

Newt looks at him. "You wouldn't be losing me."

Thomas takes his head out of his hands. "Yes, I would."

"Mmm, no." Newt says. "You'd lose me as a friend, sure, but you wouldn't lose me."

Thomas looks at Newt, a look of confusion on his face. "W-what?"

Newt rolls his eyes. "You are an idiot." Newt grabs his shirt, pulls him closer, and kisses him. 

Thomas sits there, shocked. Then, he kisses him back. When Newt pulls away, he looks at him, completely astonished. He absent-mindedly brings his fingers to his lips. 

"W-why did you..." Thomas says, trailing off. 

Newt looks at him, slightly scared. "I'm sorry, should I not have? Did I do something wrong? Was it stupid? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. Oh my god, now you ha-" Thomas cuts him off by kissing him again.

"No." He says. "No. You definitely did nothing wrong."

Newt smiles bashfully. "I-"

Then, Minho walks in and both boys scramble apart.

"Hey, Minho!" Newt says, standing awkwardly. "What's up?" He laughs nervously.

Minho looks at him weird. "Um...hi, Newt. I just came to see if Thomas was coming to see me ever again but I guess he has other things to do." He says, eyeing him. 

Newt turns red. "It wasn't-I was just-"

Minho puts a hand up. "I don't need an explanation. I don't really care." He turns to Thomas. "Anyway," He says.

"Hi." Thomas says, waving shyly. 

Minho looks between the two of them. "You two are weird. I'll just go."

"No!" Newt says, probably too quickly. "You don't have to go."

Minho looks at him, his green eyes narrowing. "Yeah. You're acting weird."

"No." Newt says. "I'm not acting weird at all." 

Minho rolls his eyes. "Whatever. See you guys later."

Minho walks out the door. Newt sighs and slides to the ground, his back against the wall. 

"You were acting weird." Thomas says, sitting next to him. 

"No." Newt defends. "I was not."

Thomas smiles at him. "Fine. You weren't weird."

Newt nods and sighs. "I don't know why I was weird."

Thomas grabs his hand. "Because," Thomas says. "You're always weird."

Newt laughs. Thomas smiles. 

"You know," He says. "I'm not even worried right now. I honestly don't even care what Paige and Janson do. They could come in and take me right now but I don't even care."

Newt looks at him. "That's not a very smart way of thinking."

Thomas rolls his eyes, chuckling. "It's not..." He shakes his head. "Oh, nevermind."

Newt sighs. "I guess Minho's right. We shouldn't stay in here all day."

"Why not?" Thomas asks.

Newt opens his mouth but doesn't say anything. "I...I mean..."

Thomas gives him a look. "See? We totally could."

"I guess so." Newt says. He leans his head against the wall. "Hey, Tommy?"

"Yeah?" Thomas says.

"I think I might like you." He says, turning to him.

"Yeah." Thomas says. "I think I got that from you kissing me."

Newt bites his lip. "Yeah...right."

"I mean, if you need to prove it again," Thomas says. "I wouldn't be opposed."

Newt laughs. "Is that right?"

Thomas smiles, nodding. "Mhm."

Newt leans over and kisses him. "That should be enough proof." He says.

"Never." Thomas says and kisses him again.
