Forty One

Newt lays with his head in Thomas's lap in his backyard, Thomas playing with his hair. 

"You're so cute." Thomas says.

"I try my best." Newt says. "Okay, Tommy, look."  Newt sits up and puts a ring of flowers on his head. "I made a flower crown!"

Thomas smiles, biting his lip. "Wow, you just want to kill me, don't you? You just keep getting cuter and cuter."

"It keeps falling apart, though." Newt says, frowning. 

Thomas grabs Newt's hands and pulls him against him, kissing him. Newt falls against him, making them both fall onto the ground. Newt intertwines their fingers and kisses him harder. He slides a leg between the other boys. Thomas pulls away, breathing heavily. 

"Your flower crown..." Thomas says, reaching up and straightening it.

"Oh," Newt says softly. "Right."

Thomas clears his throat and both boys stand up. 

"I should probably..." Thomas says.

"Right." Newt says. "Yeah..."

Thomas kisses quickly. "Bye."

"Bye."

"I want school to be over already." Newt says, resting his head on the table at lunch.

"One more month." Thomas says, running a hand through his hair. 

"But a month is so long." Newt complains, sitting up.

"I know," Thomas says, kissing him. "But it won't seem that long once it's over."

Newt looks at Thomas. "You're hot." He says suddenly. "Sorry, I-I don't know why I just said that. I mean, it's true, but-"

Thomas kisses him again. "You're hot too."

Newt laughs. "I love you." He says, hugging him.

"I love you too." 

"I don't wanna do homework anymore!" Newt complains. "It's so boring!"

"I know," Thomas says, running a hand up and down his arm. He kisses his neck.

"Okay, Tommy, I love you, but I have to focus if I ever want to get this done." Newt says, turning around. 

"But-" Thomas starts.

"Later, love." Newt says, kissing him quickly. 

"Or now." Thomas says. "Now is good."

"No, Tommy," Newt says, passing a hand through his hair. "I love you. Go do your homework."

"I already did!" Thomas says. "I just wanna kiss you!"

"After I finish." Newt says. "I'm nearly done, okay?"

Thomas squirms. "But Newt!" He whines. "Math is stupid! I'm better!"

"Yes." Newt says. "But if I want to pass tenth grade I have to do it."

"You have to do me too!" Thomas says. "Oh, wait, that came out wrong." Newt chuckles. "You know what I mean."

"Tommy," Newt says. "Go do something productive."

"Ugh!" Thomas says, flopping back. 

Newt rolls his eyes. He gets up, walks over to him and kisses him. Thomas inhales sharply but kisses him back. He sits up and Newt puts a hand on his chest. 

"Okay, Tommy," Newt says. "Now I have to go back to work."

"You're such a tease!" Thomas says.

"You're the one who asked for it." Newt says, going back to the desk. 

Thomas sighs. "I hate you. You are so, so mean."

"Oh, I know." Newt says. "But if you had been patient, I could have kissed you for longer."

Thomas glares at him. "Mean."

Newt sticks his tongue out at him. "Oh, suck it up." 

"You won't let me!" Thomas says.

"You did not." Newt says. "Shut your mouth and go do something."

"This is my room." Thomas says. "You can't kick me out."

"Yes, I can." Newt says. "Go away or shut up."

Thomas chuckles but does. 

That night, Thomas walks into Newt's room.

"Um," Newt says. "Hi."

"Hi." Thomas says. He climbs into bed with him.

"Tommy, what's happening?" Newt asks. Thomas doesn't say anything. He just puts his arms around him. "Tommy, what are you doing?"

"I'm staying here." Thomas says. "I love you. I don't even want to be without you for another second."

"Hey, you good?" Newt asks, running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah." Thomas mumbles. "I just...I think I need you and it's terrifying."

Newt turns around to face him, putting a hand on his cheek. 'Yeah, well, I need you too." And he kisses him.
