-Chapter Twenty Three-

-Thomas's POV-

I was in shock. I could hardly believe what I had heard. Newt attempted... I can't even say it. "That's why you're so overprotective." I said, still in shock. Minho nodded. "I almost lost him for good. I know that sometimes I can over-react about these things but Newt is extremely important to me. I don't know what I would do without him." He explained. I thought for a moment before I spoke again. "What if there was a way that we both could have him." I suggested. Minho looked puzzled, "What are you on about?" He questioned. "Polyamory. It's the practice of engaging in multiple romantic, typically sexual, relationships with the consent of all who are involved." I explained. "English Thomas, not dictionary." Minho replied. "Basically, if someone in a couple had romantic feelings for another person at the same time as their feelings for their partner, they bring this up and ask for permission about if they can date that person as well. If the partner replies no, then they need to figure out something else. If the partner replies yes, then they go up to the other person they like and ask if they're okay with it." I explain. Minho looked confused, "So, If Newt liked both of us at the same time. He would come up to me and ask if he can date you as well?" Minho asks, trying to understand. "Yeah." I reply. "Then if I say yes, he goes up to you and asks you?" I nod in response. "Would that mean I have to date you as well or no?" He asks. "No. That is an option, but you don't have to. If you don't like that person the same way that you like your partner then you don't have to date them." I respond. "But if I like you the same way I like Newt, I can date you if you agree?" Minho asks. I nod once again. "Whatever, I'll go tell Newt." and with that, Minho left. I stood their shocked that he actually considered it and was actually doing it. Minho walked over with Newt a few minutes later, Minho had his arm around Newt. "Hey Tommy." Newt said with a smile. I smiled back and felt weak to my knees. Newt was gorgeous, kind, smart, brave, and strong. "Hey Newt." I replied. "Minho told me about the polyamory thing." He responded. I immediately got nervous, "Oh, well, uh, you don't have to." I say. Newt than walked up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I felt my face burn up, I turned to look at Minho and he just stood their smirking. "You doing okay Thomas? You're looking a little red." He spoke with a taunting tone. I looked back at Newt, he was blushing a bit as well. "So, what does this mean exactly?" I questioned. "It means we'll date you." Minho replied. Newt nodded to show that Minho was telling the truth, then I realized what Minho had said. 'We'll date you'. He liked me as well, I'm pretty sure that if I was a computer that I would be overheating. "Tommy? Are you okay?" Newt asked. I nodded, "Did you say we'll or did I mishear you?" I questioned. Minho kissed the opposite cheek from where Newt kissed me. "I said we'll." He confirmed. I felt my face heat up even more.

-Nobody's POV-

Thomas was a blushing mess and couldn't control the words that he said. He was spewing nonsense that was to difficult to translate for you to hear what he said. Newt and Minho stood there snickering and giggling at the mess Thomas became. "I think we broke him." Minho commented. Newt nodded and shoved Thomas's arm, "Get control of yourself." Thomas nodded and stopped trying to talk until he processed everything. "So does that make us all..." he trailed off just thinking about it. Then Newt really thought about it. "How would everything work? Weddings, Dates, etcetera..." Newt thought. Minho shrugged his shoulders, "We'll figure it out when we get there. Right now, lets just process this." He replied. Newt and Thomas agreed and for the rest of the trip, everything was calm. On their last day at the hotel, they were packing but suddenly Newt had seen something that made his body freeze. "Minho, Thomas, come here." He said. Thomas and Minho walked over to see what Newt was talking about. "What is it babe?" Minho asked him, "Look..." was all Newt replied with. Thomas and Minho looked at where Newt was looking and froze. Thomas was over-flowing with fear while Minho's blood was boiling with rage.
