3RD PERSON POV // taking place in the glade

the two boys sat on the soft grass, a light breeze blew against their faces and the peaceful sound of the bonfire crackling in the distance. thomas and newt were stargazing again, something they do almost every night together, talking about their day as second-in-command and runner, enjoying the simple company they each provided. the two boys have grown really close, and have both secretly developed feelings for one another. newt sighed in contentment, he loved spending time with thomas, it made all the hard work of the day worthwhile.

thomas on the other hand, had his heart racing like a bullet train, contemplating if he should carry out the plan he had planned with so much detail. deciding to finally shoot his shot, thomas turned to face newt and said, "hey newt? i um, wrote a song. for you" the last two words came out as a whisper, and newt thought he had misheard the boy for a second. when he saw that thomas was waiting for his response, he immediately turned his body and fully faced him. thomas grabbed his guitar that he had placed behind the tree trunk and sat back down, beyond scared of how newt would react.

"look at the stars, look how they shine for you. and all the things you do"

as if on cue, newt looked up at the sky again, somehow now all the stars are shining even brighter than before.

"they were all yellow. i came along and i wrote a song for you, all the things you do. yeah they were all yellow."

newt gave thomas a puzzled look, confused why the word 'yellow' was repeated so many times.

"your skin, oh yeah you skin and bones. turn to something beautiful. you don't know, but oh i love you so. you know i love you so."

thomas continued to strum in his guitar, while newt was shocked at ; firstly, how good of a singer thomas was and secondly, the lyrics of the song.

"i traveled across, i jumped across for you, oh what a thing to do. and it was all yellow. i fell in love, never thought i could. but with you, who knew? who wouldn't care for you? it was all yellow. you skin, oh yeah your skin and bones, turn into something beautiful. you don't know, for you i'd bleed myself dry. for you i'd bleed myself. you know i love you so"

as thomas strummed the last chord, newt started tearing up at all the sweet words thomas sang. "did you mean that? all that you said?" newt whispered, still trying to comprehend what he had just heard. "i meant every word newt," thomas leaned forward and reached to hold newt's hand, bringing it up to his lips and placing a gentle kiss his knuckle.

"i love you"

3 words. 8 letters. that was all it took for newt to lean in and close the small gap between them. newt's lips were soft against thomas's slightly chapped ones, but they fit each other perfectly. with one hand on the side of thomas's face and the other at the back of his neck, newt pulled himself closer to thomas, who gladly held onto newt's waist, pulling hum onto his lap. the boys pulled apart, breathless. newt looked at thomas with his umber brown eyes that held so much more love than you could imagine. he loved the boy so much, more than anything in the world. to think that thomas reciprocated his feelings, newt felt like he was on a high.

"i love you too"

newt buried his head into thomas's shoulder, getting shy at the revelation of his feelings. thomas chuckled at the boy's shyness and hugged him even tighter, holding him close with no intention of letting go. thomas's steady heartbeat was like a white noise that gave newt peace of mind, whilst thomas planted soft occasional kisses in newt's hair.

after a few minutes of sitting like that, newt raised his head and asked the brunette, "hey, why did you mention the word 'yellow' so many times in your song?" thomas smiled and simply replied,

"well, yellow is said to be the colour of the sun and the stars, and you are my sun and stars, so i associate yellow to you. to me, yellow also means happiness, which is what you give me. you are my happiness. oh and also your hair's yellow, so it kinda fits"

newt chuckled lightly at the last sentence, gently hitting thomas's arm. he then intertwined their hands and rubbed his thumb across the back of thomas's hand.

"oh tommy, you are more than just my happiness. you are my everything, my whole world. and thank you for that song, it was really beautiful. i love you."

embracing newt in another hug, thomas replied,

"i love you more, you're my everything too, newt"

saying that, they shared one last kiss goodnight. thomas stood up and pulled newt along with him but neither of them moved after. neither of them had let go of the other's hand.

"wanna sleep in my hut tonight? it could be our first night together." thomas nodded almost immediately, picking up his guitar and saying, "i thought you'd never ask."

every now and then, in the middle of the night, thomas would kiss the top of newt's head and newt would tighten his grip around thomas's waist. that night, both boys slept peacefully and happily, tangled up in newt's bed, holding each other close and never letting go until the daylight.
