Fifty Eight

"I have decided to forgive you." Newt reports to Minho the next day when he walks over to them at the bus stop.

"Be still my beating heart." Minho says dully. "It's a miracle."

"Oh, you know what, you-" Newt starts.

"Newt..." Thomas says. 

Newt huffs. "Fine. But screw you. And if you ever call him Tommy again-" He says, pointing at him.

"Yeah, okay." Minho says. "I know. I'm sorry. I won't call him Tommy."

"You don't even say it right!" Newt says.

"How can I say it wrong?" Minho says. 

Newt looks at him. "You really are a bloody idiot, aren't you? You say it wrong."

"Okay, okay." Thomas says. "That's enough. Let's be nice."

"Shut up, Tommy." Newt says.

"Yeah, Tommy." Minho says.

"Okay, that is it!" Newt says. 

Newt jumps on him, hitting him. Both boys fall to ground and roll into the grass, trying to hit each other but both doing terrible jobs, probably because neither boy wants to hurt the other one. 

"Quit it!" Minho says. "I was only kidding!"

"I told you to stop it!" Newt says, flipping them over. "You said you'd stop it!"

"Whoa!" Thomas says. "Guys! Stop this!"

Thomas grabs Newt by the waist and drags him off of Minho. Newt struggles against his arms, still trying to hit Minho, who stands up, dusting off his clothes. 

"Asshole!" Minho says. "Tommy, control your boyfriend."

"Stop it!" Newt says, tears of anger welling in his eyes. "Tommy, make him stop it!" Tears start rolling down his face, but he ignores them, still glaring at Minho. 

"You're a baby." Minho says.

"I hate you!" Newt shouts. "Tommy, let me go!"

"Tommy, don't you dare." Minho says.

"Ugh!" Newt roars. 

He breaks out of Thomas's grasp and runs onto the bus, sitting in the back, away from the others. Thomas walks over to him.

"Newt." Thomas says. "What just happened?" He shakes his head then buries it in Thomas's shoulder, crying. Thomas hugs him. "What is wrong?"

"He's such a dick!" Newt says into Thomas's shoulder. "I hate him! He's so mean!"

Thomas rubs small circles on his back. "I know. Why does that bother you so much?"

"I don't know." Newt mumbles. "I just don't like it. He shouldn't be allowed to call you that." Newt moves into Thomas's lap, putting his legs around his waist. "He should be fired."

"Fired from what?" Thomas asks, combing a hand through his hair. 

"Being my friend." Newt says. "He knows how much I hate it."

"Okay, I know." Thomas says. 

Newt lifts his head. "I only like you." He says with a frown on his face. 

Thomas kisses him gently. "I love you."

Newt starts to cry again and presses his face against Thomas's neck. Then the bus stops.

"Okay," Thomas says gently. "We have to get off now."

"No." Newt says, hugging him tighter. "I don't want to. 

"I know, but we have to." Thomas says.

He lets go of him, which just makes him cry harder. Thomas stands up and takes Newt's hand, making him walk off of the bus. 

At lunch, Newt sits pressed against Thomas, Brenda across from them. Then, Minho walks over.

"Go away." Newt says. 

"Newt, I'm sorry." Minho says. "I was a shitty friend and I'm sorry."

"What did you do?" Brenda asks. "What happened?"

"Minho called me Tommy again so Newt hit him and they got in a fight." Thomas says.

"I don't believe you." Newt says.

"I didn't mean to make you cry." Minho says. 

"I didn't cry." Newt says.

"You did, though." Minho says.

Newt glares at him. "You're a bad friend."

"Newt, I'm sorry." Minho says. "I'll only call him Thomas. I swear on my hair."

Newt purses his lips. "Fine." He says. "But you don't get anymore chances."

Minho smiles. "Thank goodness."

"Good." Thomas says, kissing Newt's head. "I'm glad we're all friends again."

Newt shoots Minho one last look but nods.

A/N: Okay, so, I need to stop reading books that cause me pain. I'm not going to, but I should. Anyway, thank you guys for reading! Love you guys! :3.
