A Tale as Old as Time NOT BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

NEWT POV:

I let Thomas inside and took him to my room. "Where are your parents" asked Thomas. "Vacation, they are looking for a place to movie" I said. We entered my room. "Sorry it's kind of a mess. I would of cleaned if I planned ahead" I said. "It's okay, I've seen worse" said Thomas. He started looking at the posters and stuff on my walls. I should offer him a drink and be polite. But I don't know if we have anything that Thomas can have. He is a zombie. "So, can I get you anything to drink? I don't have anything expired but there is water" I said nervously. Water isn't something most people offer their crush but I don't have many options. "Do you have any wine" asked Thomas as he looked at me. "Ya, but I don't know if it's expired" I said. "It doesn't have to. Wine we can the same as humans. We just can't get drunk and it doesn't affect the brain the same as humans so there is no laws on who can and can't have it" said Thomas. "Oh, I have some you can pick out" I said.

I took Thomas to the kitchen and let him pick out a wine flavor. Hopefully we have one that he likes. Or it's just water. Unless he likes soda. Thomas found one and opened it. He poured himself a glass and I poured myself a glass of juice. We went back to my room. Normally when someone finds out their crush is a zombie they will put a bullet in there head. I don't feel like that. We sat on the floor. "So what about soda? Does that expire" I asked. "I don't know? Soda doesn't agree with zombies. It gives us diarrhea. I'm not sure if it's because of the bubbles in it or one of the ingredients but if soda does expire we still can't handle it" said Thomas. "Oh, so instead it's wine and alcohol" I asked. "Ya, it's nice that we can't get drunk. So it's basically more like juice to is. But we still have some things like beer pong. Have you ever tried it" asked Thomas. "No, I never played it before. I never thought I would drink alcohol or wine. But I guess if I couldn't get drunk I might someday" I said.

I took a sip of the juice. I set the cup on the floor. "You're not like other humans. I mean, I have only heard of humans killing us but you don't seem like that kind of guy. I like you" said Thomas. I smiled. "Thanks, and I don't see the point in killing you. I like you two" I said. Thomas smiled and sipped his wine. "Can I ask you something" I asked. "Sure" said Thomas. "Are there other zombies or are you the only one" I asked. "There are lots more. I live in a village with them. I left to find soulmate" said Thomas. He looked at me. "That's you" said Thomas. I chuckled and looked at the floor. I do love Thomas. I'm just nervous because this is my first relationship. I haven't had any friends stay by my side and I don't want to blow what I have with Thomas. "A human and a zombie" I said. I looked at Thomas. "A tale as old as time" said Thomas. I blushed. "You know this means you have to become a zombie one day" said Thomas. "I know, and I'm okay with it" I said.

I grabbed the body pillow from my bed and laid down. Thomas set his glass down and laid next to me. "How long have you been a zombie" I asked looking at Thomas. "245 years" said Thomas. "Does it suck, being stuck at the same age forever" I asked. "No, we still age. Just slower. 100 years to a human is one year to a zombie" said Thomas. "Oh, that's good I guess. I imagine it would suck to be immortal and live on earth and never die" I said. "Probably, especially with watching your friends die" said Thomas. I held Thomas' hand and intertwined our fingers. "I'm glad I finally met you" said Thomas. "How long did it take you find me" I asked. "Years" said Thomas. He closed his eyes and slowly leaned closer. I closed my eyes and we kissed. It was a simple kiss. Thomas was a good kisser. We broke the kiss and opened our eyes. "You're a good kisser" said Thomas. "Good, because that was my first kiss" I said. Thomas blushed. "Mine two" he said. I smiled and cuddled with Thomas. We spooned. I think that's what it's called. "I'm going to get some sleep. You can stay if you want. It's just getting late" I said. Thomas held me closer. "I'll stay" said Thomas. I closed my eyes and fell asleep in Thomas' arms. I could feel his heart beat faster as we cuddled. I'm in love with a zombie. And I'm okay with that. Thomas is the one I choose to spend eternity with.
