Thomas wakes up, Newt's head on his chest. He smiles and puts a hand in his hair. Thomas kisses his forehead. Newt blinks.
"Morning, Tommy." He says, stretching and sitting up.
"Morning." Thomas says. He coughs.
Newt furrows his eyebrows. "Are you okay?"
"Fine." He says.
Newt looks at him. "You're rather pale."
"No, I'm fine." Thomas says. "I'm alright."
Newt sighs. "You aren't. But you will be. I promise."
Thomas brushes some hair out of his eyes. "I trust you."
Newt smiles. "Alright. I better go."
"Do you have to?" Thomas asks. "I hate being alone and I'm alone all the time now."
Newt squeezes his hand. "I'm sorry, love, but if you want me to help you, I have to go."
Thomas nods. "Okay. See you later, I guess."
Newt kisses him. "Bye, love."
Newt walks quickly through the halls,looking for Minho when someone grabs his arm. Janson.
"What do you want, Janson." Newt spits, turning around.
"Oh, this isn't up for debate." He says. "You're coming with me."
"Like hell I am!" He snaps.
"I thought you'd say that." Janson says. His eyes flash a vivid yellow and Newt blacks out, falling to the ground.
Minho opens the door to Thomas's room.
"Hey, Thomas." He says. "Have you seen Newt?"
"About an hour ago." He says. "Why?"
Minho bites his lip but shakes his head. "No reason. Just wondering."
Thomas nods. "Okay then."
"Right, well, I better go." Minho says.
Minho runs out of the room. He tears down the hall and reaches Janson's office. He pounds on the door.
"LET ME IN!" He shouts.
Janson opens it. "Yes?" He says calmly.
"Where is Newt?" He asks harshly.
"That is frankly none of your business." Janson says.
"Well, actually, that's not true." Minho says. "Let me in or I'll-"
"I can't do that." Janson interrupts.
Minho looks at him but turns sharply away and walks back to Thomas.
"Thomas?" He says.
"Oh, hey!" He says. "You're back!"
"Yeah..." Minho says, hand behind his neck. "Listen..."
Thomas's face falls. "What? What's wrong?"
"Okay, I'm just going to need you to not freak out, okay?" Minho says.
Thomas looks at him. "What is it?"
"Janson took Newt and I don't-" Thomas doesn't let him finish.
"What!?" He says, jumping to his feet, nearly falling over. "Is he okay? Why? Where is he? What's happening?"
"Calm down." Minho says. "I'm sure he's fine. But Janson won't let me see him."
"Yeah, that's not happening." Thomas says, shoving past Minho.
"Thomas, this is a bad idea." Minho says, matching his quick pace.
"Shut up." He says.
"Okay." Minho says, a slight chuckle in his voice. "We aren't doing this."
Minho grabs his wrist, dragging him to a stop. "You are hurt. You are dying. And Newt would not want you to go off killing Janson for him."
"You don't know what he would want." Thomas says. "And I'm fine!"
"You're not fine!" Minho shouts. "You are not fine! You can't just say something and have it be true! Go. Sit. Down."
"No!" Thomas yells. "Not when he has Newt! I can't."
Minho's face softens slightly. "Look, Thomas, he'll be okay. I'll make sure."
"But-" Thomas starts.
"No." Minho says. "Go back to bed and let me take care of it. Newt would kill me if he knew what you were doing."
Thomas bites his lip. "I can't, Minho."
Minho sighs. "Fine. I get it. I do. But please, just be careful."
Thomas nods. "Okay."
And he starts off down the hallway again.
When he reaches Janson's door, he knocks.
Janson comes out. "Yes?" He says in a condescending tone.
"I need to come in." Thomas says. "Please."
Janson smiles. "Ah. I see Minho's told you."
"Yeah and you need to let me in right now." Thomas says.
"I will release Newt on one condition." Janson says.
"Anything." Thomas answers.
"You give me your powers."
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I really didn't know how to not end it there. At least I posted two today. Anyway, thanks! :3
