Loving a Crank part 4

NEWT POV:

I laid down on the other side of the bed. I never sleep but beds are comfy. I see why people use them. The boy rolled over one last time to face me. I put my arms around him to snuggle. I put my head above his. We laid there till sunrise. The boy later woke up. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at me. He jumped up and fell off the bed. The boy hit the floor with a thump and a small groan in pain. I quickly sat up and crawled over to make sure he is okay. I looked down and the boy looked up at me. 

"You okay" I asked. 

"Ya" said the boy. 

He stood on his left leg and sat on the bed. I crawled back and sat down. The boy looked at me but quickly looked away. I pointed to the can. 

"I brought you food" I said. 

The boy looked at the can. He took it. 

"Thanks" he said. 

"Is your name Thomas" I asked. 

The boy looked at me confused. 

"How did you know" he asked. 

"Some said Thomas on the black box" I said pointing to it. 

Thomas smiled and picked up the small box. 

"It's a walky talky" he said showing it to me. 

"What for" I asked. 

"It's so we can keep in touch over long distance since the whole. You know, the cranks, taking over" said Thomas. 

"How does it work" I asked. 

"You push this button to talk and this is what you talk into" said Thomas pointing at the walky talky. 

I nodded. Humans are smart I guess. Thomas looked at the can. He looked back at me. 

"I need a spoon. Can you get one from my bag quick" asked Thomas. 

I nodded and got up. I went to the living room and got the bag. I opened it and started looking. I need a spoon. There was a box labeled spoons. I took it and opened it.

THOMAS POV:

I hope the crank knows what a spoon is. The crank came back and handed me a spoon. 

"Thanks" I said taking it. 

I took the spoon and opened the can. My grandpa showed Teresa and me some survival hacks for if we are ever alone or something. He showed us how to start fires, hunt and gather food, build shelter, and other stuff. One of the many things he showed us before he died was how to open a can with just a spoon. It's very useful. I opened the can and started eating the soup. It's actually still good. The crank sat next to me. 

"Newt" he said. 

"What" I asked looking at him confused. 

"I'm Newt" said the crank. 

I smiled. Something still bugged me though. 

"Newt why did you save me" I asked. 

"I wanted to help you after I bit you" said Newt. 

I kept eating. We sat in silence. I'm sure the infection is spreading threw my body slowly. I don't know how long it will take before I become a crank but I can imagine not long. Probably a few days. A few weeks the most if I am lucky or if that is possible. However I'm glad I won't completely lose myself to this virus. Newt can talk. So I assume the other cranks can as well. They aren't mindless like we all thought. I finished eating and put the can on the night stand with the spoon inside it. I looked at Newt who looked at me. 

"How long till I become a crank" I asked. 

Newt shrugged. I signed. 

"I am sorry" said Newt. 

"It's fine, I would of done the same thing I guess" I said. 

We were silent. 

"What is there to do here anyway" I asked. 

Newt thought for a bit.
