It was half eleven when his phone rang.
Newt marked his page and grabbed his phone, answering.
"Hello?"
"Newt?" The tearful voice whispered, Thomas' tearful voice.
"Tommy? What's wrong?" Newt sat up, worried.
"D-did I wake you up?" It was obvious he'd been crying.
"No honey, you didn't. What happened?"
"I-I t-told m-my..." Thomas couldn't finish because he burst into tears.
"Tommy! Hang on..." Newt switched to video call and he nearly began crying himself when he saw the brunette. "There you are. Breathe honey, breathe, in and out."
Newt helped Thomas calm down before continuing. "You got it. Wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"I-I t-tol-ld m-my..." Thomas blinked to keep the tears at bay.
"It's alright Tommy, take your time. I'm here when you want to talk." Newt said, wishing he was with the brunette.
Thomas nodded and took a deep breath and released it. "I told my parents."
"And?" Newt mentally crossed his fingers, although he knew it was no use.
Thomas shook his head, tears filling his eyes again. "T-they didn't take it w-well."
"Oh baby." Newt used everything he had not to break down. "I'm so sorry, I was hoping your coming out would be better than mine."
"Yeah well," Thomas chuckled sadly and wiped his eyes. "Life can be shit."
Newt shook his head. "You don't deserve this Tommy, nobody does for crying out loud. But that's why you've got me. We've got each other and we'll get through this together because I love you and you love me and love conquers homophobia, right?" (A/N I'm just too good at writing 😞✋)
Newt didn't even realise he was crying until Thomas pointed it out.
"Hey, you can't cry." Thomas laughed shakily. "Please stop crying because I'll cry again."
"Okay." Newt wiped his cheeks. "Look at us, a couple of sobbing messes."
"That's why we click." Thomas winked at him.
"I'm taking you on a date tomorrow, that's not a question." Newt suddenly said.
"I wasn't going to object but alright. Where to?" Thomas asked.
"The arcade."
"That's where we met." Thomas smiled at the memory.
"Exactly. Will I come round to your place?"
Thomas chewed his lip. "I think...it-I-no, no. My parents aren't..." tears filled his eyes again. "That wouldn't be the best idea." He whispered.
"Of course baby, whatever you want." Newt said softly.
"Could I meet you there?" Thomas asked, brushing tears away.
"Sure, half one?"
"Sounds good."
They stared at each other in silence before,
"I don't wanna hang up first." Thomas smiled.
"I'll hang up when you fall asleep." Newt replied.
"Thanks." Newt heard the rustle of material and a sigh.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too Newtie. Goodnight."
Thomas fell asleep soon after that, knowing that he was loved, even if not by his parents, and he was cared for and watched over.
