Forty Five

Newt wakes up in Thomas's arms the next morning. He turns around and kisses him. Thomas wakes up. 

"Hey," He says groggily. 

"Hey," Newt says softly.

Thomas sits up, blinking. Newt sits up too. He moves into Thomas's lap. 

"I'm tired." He says, resting his head on his shoulder.  

Thomas puts his arms around him. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me."

Newt lets out a breath of air. He lifts his head and kisses him. Thomas moves his hands into his hair.  Newt pulls away slightly.

"We should probably go downstairs..." Newt says.

"Nah..." Thomas says. "There's something I'd rather do right here."

"Did you mean it to sound like that?" Newt asks, raising an eyebrow. 

"Kinda." Thomas says. 

"Yeah, well," Newt says, leaning so he's speaking in his ear. "If you meant it more than kinda, I wouldn't exactly mind." 

Thomas's eyes widen. "Are you serious?"

"Do you want me to be serious?" Newt says.

"I-I don't-" Thomas stutters. "I-yes-I don't kno-wh-"

Newt laughs, leaning back. "Tommy, relax. I'm only kidding."

"You were not." Thomas says. "I can tell when you're kidding."

"You really can't." Newt says. "I love you, but you can't. But maybe I wasn't kidding anyway."

"Stop. Being. So. Vague." Thomas says.

Newt laughs. He gets out of his lap. "Come on, let's go."

"Mean." Thomas says, folding his arms. "That was mean."

"Oh, boo hoo." Newt says. "Come on and get up already."

Thomas sighs. "Why do I have to?"

"It's summer." Newt says. "So we have to do fun things."

"Summer means I get to sleep in." He says. 

"Summer means you listen to your boyfriend and get your ass up." Newt says.

"It means nothing of the kind." Thomas says.

"For the love of-" Newt says. "Get the fuck up. Get the fuck up, Tommy, or I swear to god, no more kissing all summer."

"That's fine." Thomas says. "We can do other things."

Newt looks at him. "I will kill you. I will actually murder you."

Thomas laughs but he gets up. "I'm sorry." He says, wrapping his arms around his waist. "Forgive me?"

"Never." Newt says. "Not in a million years."

Thomas fake-frowns. "Please?"

"Don't look at me like that." Newt says. "And get your hands off of me."

"Neither of those things will make you forgive me." Thomas says. 

Newt rolls his eyes. He kisses him quickly. "There. Forgiven. Now can we please go?"

"Yes." Thomas says, slipping his hand into Newt's as they walk down the stairs. 

"So," Newt says. "What are we going to do?"

"Go back to sleep?" Thomas suggests.

"I swear to god, Tommy." Newt says. 

Thomas laughs. "Yeah, fair enough."

Later, they sit in Newt's room. Newt picks up a pile of papers.

"Don't need these anymore." He says with a grin. 

He throws them in the trash then hisses in pain.

"What just happened?" Thomas asks.

"Nothing." Newt says. "Paper cut. I'm fine." He looks at his finger. "I'm always surprised how much blood comes out of these things."

Thomas chuckles softly. "You good?"

"Yup." Newt says. "I'm gonna call Minho."

"Why?" Thomas asks.

"I want to tease him endlessly." Newt says, reaching for his phone. "It's either this or I play music you hate but is actually good and you're wrong."

"I wasn't protesting." Thomas says.

He picks up the phone and calls Minho. "Yes." Newt says. "Hi." Newt clicks the speakerphone button. 

"What do you want?" Minho says.

"I'm here too!" Thomas says.

"Of course you are." Minho says. "You two are practically joined at the hip."

"Whatever." Newt says. "I want you to tell us exactly what happened when we were over there the other day. Because we never got details."

"No." Minho says. "I don't reveal details about my personal life to strangers."

"We're your best friends." Thomas points out.

"Whatever." Minho says. "No."

"At least tell us if you kissed." Newt says.

"God, you guys are like teenage girls." Minho says.

"Half of that is right." Thomas says. "So did you?"

"Yeah," Minho says. "Now goodbye." 

He hangs up without waiting for a response. Newt grins.

"Knew it." He says happily. 

"Now how about we kiss?" Thomas says.

"Sounds good." Newt says and kisses him, wrapping his arms around his neck.
