was that on purpose

Newt can't believe it. Thomas kissed him. When he pulls away, Newt just stares at him.

"I-um..." Newt says. "You...you kissed me."

"Yes." Thomas says.

"But..." Newt says. "Why?"

"I don't know," Thomas says. "Why did you kiss me back?"

"Well, uh, cause I like you." Newt says. "And I've kinda been trying to hide that but I figured when you kissed me I maybe didn't need to anymore." Thomas nods and Newt looks at him. "What are we?"

"I don't know." Thomas says. 

"I just need to see something." Newt says.  He kisses him again and it feels like an explosion in his chest. "Well, shit."

"Shit what?" Thomas asks.

"I wasn't supposed to like that." Newt says. "Except I do. Very much."

Thomas smirks slightly. "Well, that was my plan at least."

"This isn't supposed to happen." Newt says quietly. 

"What isn't?" Thomas asks.

"Me kissing my best friend," Newt says. "Not to mention my boy best friend."

"Newt," Thomas says. "I think at this point, you have to realize that you're gay."

Newt shifts. "Yeah...I know..."

"Do you?" Thomas says. "Need me to help with that?"

Newt turns red. "What?" He says quickly. "What does that mean?"

Thomas chuckles. "You're very cute. Slightly oblivious, but very cute."

Newt smiles slightly. "Hey, Tommy?"

"Yeah?" Thomas says.

"Are we...could we be...boyfriends?" Newt says.

Thomas smiles. "Yeah, if that's what you want."

"Wait." Newt says. "Well, obviously that's what I want, but..."

"But what?" Thomas asks.

"I don't know." Newt sighs. 

"Are you okay?" Thomas asks. 

"No. Yeah. I don't know." Newt says. "I'm-I'm okay. Just a little..." 

"What?" Thomas asks.

"You ask a lot of questions." Newt says. 

"Yup." Thomas says. "Now tell me."

"Nope." Newt says. "We're moving on now." Newt pauses, putting his hand behind his neck. "Could I, er, kiss you again?"

"You don't have to ask." Thomas says, smiling.

Newt blushes slightly. "Right."

He kisses him and Thomas pulls him against him, making them both fall against the couch. Then, the door opens. Lizzy walks in.

"Jesus!" Lizzy says. "I leave you two alone for five minutes!"

Newt turns bright red and jumps up. "Shut up."

Thomas and Lizzy laugh. 

"So cute." Thomas says, grabbing his hand and pulling him back onto the couch.

"Tommy, what the heck!?" Newt gasps. 

Lizzy grins. "I'll just leave. You two continue."

"Shut up." Newt says. "Go away."

"I was." Lizzy says. "Don't yell."

Newt rolls his eyes as Lizzy walks away. He turns back to Thomas.

"So sorry about her." He says, sitting back down next to him. "I don't like her very much."

"It's fine." Thomas says. "I do like her."

Newt chuckles. "Right."

"What is it?" Thomas asks.

"You're an odd combination of oblivious and observant." Newt says, looking at him. "It's nothing."

"You want me to kiss you again, don't you?" Thomas says. 

"Literally always." Newt says.

So Thomas does, wrapping his arms around him.

The next day at school, Newt anxiously holds Thomas's hand. 

"I don't have a best friend anymore." Newt says, suddenly realizing.

"I can still be your best friend," Thomas says. "Just with benefits."

"Tommy, shut up, we're not being friends with benefits." Newt says. 

"Why not?" Thomas asks.

Newt looks at him. "If you don't know that, we're not being anything with benefits."

"I don't think it's really benefits if we're boyfriends." Thomas says.

"Okay, sure, get technical." Newt says. "I'm going to class, you idiot."

Thomas takes his hand. "Aw, not yet."

Newt smiles. He kisses him briefly but Thomas deepens the kiss, making him stay longer.

"Tommy!" Newt says, pulling away. "I seriously have to go to class!"

"Sorry." Thomas says. "You can go."

Newt squeezes his hand. "See you later."

"Yeah." Thomas says.

And both boys walk away.
