In the aftermath of the Maze, Thomas and Newt found solace and comfort in each other's company. They had moved into a small apartment together, leaving the Maze and its horrors behind. It was a new chapter in their lives, and they were determined to face the challenges that lay ahead hand in hand.

One night, as the moon bathed the cabin in a soft glow, Newt tossed and turned in his sleep. His dreams were haunted by the memories of the Maze, and he found himself reliving the most terrifying moments all over again. Suddenly, he jolted awake, his heart pounding, and beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

Thomas, who had been a light sleeper ever since the Maze, was instantly awake at the sound of Newt's distressed cries. He sat up, his eyes filled with concern, and reached out to touch Newt's trembling shoulder. "Newt? Are you okay?" he asked gently.

Newt's breath was ragged as he tried to compose himself. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bad dream, Tommy," he replied, trying to dismiss it with a weak smile.

But Thomas knew Newt too well to let it go so easily. He scooted closer, wrapping his arms around Newt in a comforting embrace. "You don't have to pretend with me, you know. I can tell when something's bothering you," he said softly.

Newt's defenses crumbled under Thomas's caring gaze, and he let out a shaky breath. "It's just... the memories, Tommy. They still haunt me, even after all this time. I can't seem to escape them," he admitted, his voice tinged with vulnerability.

Thomas brushed a gentle hand through Newt's hair, soothingly. "I know it's not easy, Newt. But you're safe now. We're safe. We're together, and we'll face whatever comes our way, just like we always have," he said reassuringly.

Newt leaned into Thomas's touch, finding comfort in his presence. "You're right, Tommy. I don't know what I'd do without you," he whispered, his voice filled with gratitude.

Thomas's heart swelled with affection, and he couldn't hold back his feelings any longer. "Newt, there's something I need to tell you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Newt turned to look at Thomas, his eyes searching for any sign of what Thomas was about to say. "What is it, Tommy?" he asked, his heart skipping a beat.

Thomas took a deep breath, his eyes locked with Newt's. "I love you, Newt. More than just a friend. I've loved you for so long, and I can't keep it to myself any longer," he confessed, his voice filled with sincerity.

Newt's breath caught in his throat, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, and yet, a part of him had always hoped for these words. "You... you love me?" he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.

Thomas nodded, his eyes never leaving Newt's. "Yes, I do. I've loved you from the moment we met in the Maze, and my feelings have only grown stronger since then. You mean everything to me, Newt," he said, his voice unwavering.

Tears welled up in Newt's eyes as he realized that the love he had hidden for so long was reciprocated. "Oh, Tommy," he choked out, his heart overflowing with joy. "I love you too, more than you'll ever know."

With those words, the dam broke, and Newt let himself fully embrace the love he had kept hidden for so long. He leaned in, capturing Thomas's lips in a tender and passionate kiss. It was a kiss filled with years of unspoken feelings, a kiss that expressed everything they couldn't put into words.

As they pulled away, both of them were breathless, their hearts entwined in a love that was undeniable. In that moment, they knew that they were meant to be together, that their love was a force stronger than any Maze they had faced.

From that night on, Thomas and Newt faced the challenges of life together, hand in hand, and their love only grew deeper with each passing day. They had found their safe haven in each other's arms, a place where their love could bloom and flourish, and they knew that they would never have to face the darkness alone again.
