Broken and Gone ( A Newtmas Fanfic)

Chapter 19

When Thomas awoke with his arms wrapped around someone's body a fluff of blond hair under his chin. Newt's face was relaxed, and his breath was steady. Thomas felt more content than he had felt in a while, maybe in forever. With the boy pressed softly against him he felt safe. Thomas bent his neck toward him and planted a gentle kiss on his temple. Newt buried his head deeper in his chest and yawned quietly.

"Good morning" He whispered his voice still raspy from sleep, but Thomas found it cute.

"Good morning love" He replied.

Newt blushed at the pet name and mumbled something inconceivable, his head still deep in Thomas's shirt. Thomas chuckled quietly at his boyfriend's antics and kissed the top of his head. Newt looked back up at him and pressed a kiss on the other boy's cheek. Thomas smiled at him as he started to get up but Newt grabbed his arm tugging on it, not tight but not loose enough for Thomas to pull away without hurting him.

"Newt" Thomas whined "I have to get up I promised to meet Minho for breakfast and... SHUCK I'm gonna be late!"

"Noooo" Newt gave Thomas the big puppy eyes trying to convince him to stay " Tommmyyy"

Thomas sighed loudly and bent down again to bring Newt into a passionate kiss seeming to give in but when his guard was down Thomas pulled his arm away at lightning speed and backed away from the bed before Newt could register what was happening still dazed from the kiss.

"Ah ha!" Thomas said triumphantly he stuck his tongue out at Newt and the other boy rolled his eyes and stretched out his arms clearly unhappy to be put through this in the morning.

In a rush Thomas picked a clean shirt and started to take off his original one when he caught Newt staring. Thomas smirked,

"Like what you see?" He commented.

Newt blushed and looked away,

"Shut up" He muttered only making Thomas's smile bigger.

"You didn't answer the question Newtie"

Newt glared at him, starting to regret sleeping here last night but he didn't want Thomas teasing him about this all day.

"No actually you're uglier than Ratman"

Thomas faked looking offended,

"How dare you! I'm the most beautiful thing in the world! I could be a modal."

He made a whole show of posing and blowing kisses at Newt. He rolled his eyes again and faked throwing tomatoes at him. Thomas laughed but caught view of his watch and his face turned slightly panicked.

"Shuck, Newt I really need to go..."

Newt got to his feet and pulled on one of Thomas's hoodies and grabbed his hand.

"I'm coming with you" He announced proudly

Thomas squeezed his hand,

"Sure, if you want but... You might want to put shoes on first because I didn't sign up for pulling any splinters out of your feet even if your cute"

Newt smacked his arm when he laughed but he was suppressing a smile himself.

"C'mon splinter boy" He slipped on his sneakers and dragged his lover out of the tent.

When they arrived in the mess hall the whispers began, most people gave him thumbs-ups, but a few gave him dirty looks. He caught a few words of their conversations, and they weren't exactly kind. Those were the people who made him let go of Thomas's hand and step a few feet away from him. Doubt filled his mind; would they all hate them now? He started to shake, his breathing picked up and he started to back away. Thomas watched him concerned, he turned to face him grabbing his hands and bringing them to his lips.

"Hey," He whispered in his ear "It's ok, don't listen to them they don't matter, hey look at me"

Newt looked up at him and they locked their eyes, Thomas could still see the panic in the other boy's eyes.

"It's OK," he said strongly, Min said it's hard the first few days but shuck them all that matters is what you feel, you are allowed to feel however you want and it's not their job to choose what's right or wrong for you."

Thomas glared right back at them,

"Just ignore them they're not important or special."

Thomas grabbed his hand again kissing his nose while using the other hand to give the middle finger to the people behind them hoping they got the message. He led Newt to the table where Minho sat with Aris, Lizzy, Harriet, Gally, and the rest of their friends. When they sat down, they were immediately bombarded with questions.

"Is it true?"

"Who made the first move?"

Newt's eyes were wide, and Thomas was attempting to answer as many as he could.

"Yes. Kinda. No. Umm... Well. MINHO!"

Minho chuckled at him until Aris punched him in the shoulder.

"Ow babe you're supposed to be on my side!"

"Let them breathe Min" Harriet cut in.

"Why is everyone attacking me" Minho complained.

"Maybe because you're a slint-head," Newt said.

Minho pouted and Aris ruffled his hair, Thomas felt amazing no longer having to be envious of their relationship. He looked at Newt so grateful for him and his beautiful heart.

Newt looked at him a playful smile across his lips,

"What?" He asked

"Nothing I just love you so much" Thomas answered.

Newt looked down a light blush across his cheeks reminding Thomas of the lovely flowers that his mother grew in their window when he was a kid. Newt was just like them gentle and kind on the outside but so much more inside filled with wittiness and strength only making Thomas love him more. He tipped his head up to look at him, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him. Lovely and beautiful, Newt was everything he could ever wish for.
