Once upon a time

The planets and fates 

And all the stars aligned

You and I ended up in the same room

At the same time


Newt nearly spat out his drink when he saw who was on the other side of the room.

"That's him, Min," he said, pointing. 

Minho squinted to see through the bodies. "The one with the red shirt?" 

"Yeah. That's him I want." 

"Go get him then." 

Newt knocked back the rest of his drink. "Okay, wish me luck." 


And the touch of a hand lit the fuse

Of a chain reaction of countermoves

To asses the equation of you 

Checkmate, I couldn't lose


Newt took a deep breath and made his way through the crowd. The boy was standing on his own, nodding his head to the music. Newt stood a few feet away from him unnoticed. Then he moved closer and touched his hand. The boy looked up. 

Newt smiled. "Hi."

The boy smiled back. "Hi."


What if I told you none of it was accidental?

And the first time that you saw me

Nothing was gonna stop me

I laid the groundwork, and then,

Just like clockwork 

The dominoes cascaded in a line

What if I told you I'm a mastermind?

And now you're mine

It was all my design

'Cause I'm a master mind


"It was...it was nice getting coffee. With you," Newt said shyly, scuffing the ground with his shoe. 

Thomas smiled brightly. "It was, yeah. We should do this again sometime." 

"We should? Like, you...with me?" 

Thomas laughed and Newt soared. "Yes, with you Newt." 

They looked at each other for a moment that felt like hours. 

"I gotta go," Thomas said eventually. "Text me though, yeah?" 

"Yeah." 

Thomas then leaned forward and kissed Newt on the cheek. 


What if I told you none of it was accidental ?

And the first night that you saw me 

Nothing was gonna stop me

I laid the ground work and then,

Saw the wide smirk on your face

You knew the entire time

You knew that I'm a mastermind

And now you're mine

Yeah, all you did was smile

'Cause I'm a mastermind 


"I know," Thomas suddenly said, on their fifth coffee date.

Newt looked up from his drink. "You know what?" 

Thomas smirked. "How you've had a crush on me for ages." 

Newt's eyes widened and he blushed, looking down. "Maybe." 

"I crushed on you for a long time too." 

"Crushed? Past tense?" 

"I mean I'm still crushing on you...that sounded better in my head." 

Newt smiled a little and looked up again. "No, I get it. You know what's funny?" 

"What?" 

"All you did was smile."
