Forever in my mind~a Newtmas fanfiction [HIATUS]

Chapter 8: I'm here

THOMAS'S POV

After a nice meal, Newt and I head back to the Homestead to get some rest. When my bed's in sight, a wave of exhaustion hits me. I yawn almost instantly and Newt chuckles. "You're so cute when you yawn," he says. I smile at him. I take off my shirt and crawl under the covers. I instantly black out and fall asleep.

I gasp out loud as I shoot up, everything around me is still dark. I am at the edge of hyperventilation. I woke up because of a low, metallic moan in the distance. What is that? I think. There it is again, the low sound making my heart soar. I look around me, scared and panicking. Newt, where is Newt. I get out of my bed, and wrap my sheets around my body. My eyes are already getting used to the darkness, and I can see the contours of sleeping people surrounding me. But it's still to dark to tell which face belongs to Newt. I guess I will have to take a look up close then. I step forward, but freeze as another moan fills my ear. My breathing speeds up and my heart is beating at full speed. I must find him! I think. So I make my way through the darkness, jumping up at every sound I hear. Luckily, Newt isn't that far away from my own bed. I sigh in relief when I see a glimpse of dirty blonde hair peeking out from under the covers. I carefully move the sheets away to reveal my beautiful, sleeping Newt. I almost hit him in the face when I hear another low groan. When I calmed myself down a little, I shake Newt's shoulder. "Newt," I whisper in his ear. "Newt!" I say, a little louder this time. He rolls on his other side and mumbles: "What..." to which I reply, "I'm so scared..."

He opens his eyes and sits up. "What is it, Tommy?" he asks. He takes one of my hands in his own. "Those moans... What are they?" I whisper. At that moment, one more distant, deep moan fills the Homestead and I jump up in surprise. Newt smiles and pats on a spot on his bed, next to him. I sit down, and he wraps his arms around my body to hug me. I hug him back, tightly, and I instantly feel safer. I can feel his breath in my neck as he whispers: "It's okay, Tommy, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

We hug for a while, and after what felt like an hour, I yawn. He lets go of me and says: "Let's get you to bed, you should get some sleep." We walk back to my bed together, and I get under the sheets. "Goodnight," I say. "I love you," he answers. He kisses me on my forehead before turning around to go to his own bed, but I grab his wrist and whisper: "Newt?"

"Yes?"

"Would... Would you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course," he says, and he crawls in my bed. We cuddle up agains each other and I can't help but smile. I love this boy.

"Thank you." I whisper to him.

"I'll always be here for you if you need me," he whispers back. He wraps his arms around me and I lay my head on his chest, the last thing I hear before falling asleep being his heartbeat.
