Before I start I just want to give a small trigger warning there is talk of suicide and drinking in this chapter.
It had been a couple days of staying here, tomorrow was the day they were finally spoused to get there memories back. He was so happy to get them back and get out of here.
Everything was okay for him, Thomas and him were talking again, he was dating issac, that he was kind of iffy about, he liked Issac but it just wasn't the same as in the maze. Also Issac had not stopped talking about the maze, there was a while were newt thought Issac was going to ask him to go back in, so they talked about it and newt told him he was not going back in. Issac understood and in his words said
"I love you, so I will stay with you, no matter what you choose." He had no idea why he hated that Issac said that. They were spoused to leave tomorrow, newt was feeling pretty good. It was already dark outside and newt was getting hungry, he was going run to his room then go to the cafe to get something to eat. As the was turning around the corner he almost ran into Thomas, it scared him "oh my, sorry tommy" he said, "No your good" he said sort of tripping past him. Thomas had what looked to be a shopping bag hanging from his shoulder, as Thomas walked away Newt could hear what sounded like glass clinking together but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Newt continued to his room, he was about to pull out his key, when he realized his door was already unlocked. He slowly creeped the door open to see issac in his room. He had a little table set up with food and drinks. The lights were dimed and there was candles, this felt like the set up to every cringy romance movie. He entered in shutting the door behind him. "Welcome" Issac said, he looked nervous. Like he had almost been dreading newts arrival, Newt walked up and Isaac pulled out a chair for him to sit at. "Perfect timing I was just about to go get something to eat" Newt Said trying to break the awkwardness that was growing in the room, Issac just chuckled still not saying anything.
He sat down on the other side of the small round table. "So are you going to tell me what this is all for" he asked. This time issac did reply "what am I not allowed to bring my boyfriend out for dinner."
Newt smiled looking around his room "Very fancy place, you sure you can afford it" "nothing but the best."
{Time skip}
Isaac had brought out food, they had finished and now they were just sitting laughing over stupid things and memories. Isaac had gone quiet and looked really nervous "Newt, there is a reason I did this tonight. " Newt looked to him as he continued to speak "I'm going back in the maze and I really hope you will come with me." Newt had no idea what to do but laugh, he genuinely thought issac was joking. "You can't be serious" newt said as his smile faded "what happened to staying here with me, I told you I'm not going back into that hell hole" "it's what's best for us" issac said.
Newt was blown away he genuinely did not know how to react."Best for us, I tried to kill myself in that dam maze because I couldn't handle it and your telling me it's what's best" his voice was risesing the more angry he got. " You told me you loved me" newt said to Issac who was now avoiding his eye contact, "I do thats why I'm asking you to come with me" issac said. Newt just scoffed "I need to breath, don't follow me" newt said standing up and leaving, he remembered somewhere chuck had shown him. It was a way to get to the roof. He needed to be able to breathe and he didn't want to talk to anyone.
When he got to the top the cold air felt refreshing on his face. He took a deep breath in to stop himself from crying, that's when he heard a noise come from beside him. It was sort of a muffled cough, Newt turned to his left to see Thomas sitting on the edge of the roof. Newts eyes fell to the bottle of scotch sitting right next to him, it was just over a quarter empty. "Thomas, what are you doing" newt said, well biting the inside of his lip holding back from sobbing. He didn't turn around he just picked up the bottle and said "having a little liquid fun," he swirled the bottle before taking a sip of it.
Newt didn't know what to do, he stood there staring at Thomas back, he wanted to leave so he was able to just break down, but he thought for Thomas's safety he should stay. "Well, are you going come sit down" Thomas asked patting the spot beside him. Newt slowly walked and sat down beside him, Thomas patted him on the back.
He sat down Thomas shuffled around pick up the bottle taking another sip before passing it over to Newt "oh, I'm good" Newt said. "Come on you only live once" he paused for a second, he took the bottle back before saying "nevermind you lived twice."
Newt couldn't help but laugh at that remark, he looked over at Thomas who was now looking at him. They kept eye contact before Thomas turned away first. "So why are you out here, I heard Issac was doing a dinner date" he said after talking another sip from the bottle.
Newt didn't want to say anything, he put his hand out "I'm going to need a drink before I go into that topic," Thomas smiled handing the bottle over. Newt took a big guzzle, it burned as it went down his throat. Thomas laughed as Newt coughed, he patted newts back as he handed the bottle back. "So you want to talk now?" Thomas asked, newt took a deep breath before taking "let go for a walk" Newt said standing up and heading for the door, Thomas took a couple seconds before getting up and following.
They were out behind the building, newt had had a couple more drinks and they were heading farther away from the building.
After about ten minutes they found themselves on the top of hill, behind trees. Newt laid down, placing the scotch down beside him. He layed trying to catch his breath, he looked up laughing at Thomas tripping up the hill. When Thomas got to the top the he fell down face first putting his right arm over newt, pulling newt down with him. He struggled to sit back up because of how he was laughing.
When he finally got up he turned around laying back down beside him, there were very few sounds the loudest was there breathing.
Newt was the one to break there silence "I'm going to break up with issac" he said. Newt felt Thomas's eyes fall to him, he didn't say anything though. "He's going back into the maze, I'm not going back in that hell" he said sitting up. He felt like he was going cry, he tilted his head up to try and stop himself from crying. "I'm so sorry" Thomas said, the breathing became the loudest thing again. Newt grabbed the now almost empty bottle taking a huge sip of it. He felt as it started to sprinkle, of course it was starting to rain.
There was now just about one drink left, newt passed it to Thomas who drank the rest. They were sat under a tree and something just came Over newt, he grabbed the bottle standing up. He walked up to the tree, slamming the bottle as hard as he could. It shattered into alot of peaces, he just stood looking at the top of the bottle that he still held. He could see in his Peripheral vision as Thomas stood up, the rain was getting harder as Thomas walked over. He just hugged him, he felt tears start to run down his face.
Thomas hands were sliding up and down his back, that just made him cry harder. After about thirty seconds, he started to laugh, he didn't know why. He assumed it was just the achol catching up to him. Thomas backed up, just looking at him, the rain was getting harder but the tree was protecting them from the most most of it. He felt as Thomas was getting closer to him. Newt felt Thomas's body heat bounceing of him as he crept closer, he knew what way about to happen. It didn't feel like butterflies were in his stomach, it felt like birds. Thomas hadn't broken eye contact, now just inches away. Newt was the one to break the space, his lips were soft and gentle.
Thomas had tugged on newts shirt, pulling there body's closer together. Newts hands slide up to Thomas lower back. Newt pushed deeper into the kiss, feeling Thomass hands slide up to his hair. Thomas pulled back, the absence of his body allowed cold air to flow between them. Thomas leaned back it, his mouth tasted of whiskey, but that was the least of Newts consurns. Thomas slid down to newts neck, pulling the collar of newts shoulder giving himself more room. Newt slid his hands up Thomas shirt, sort of scraping his hands down.
Newt backed up, putting his hands on Thomas jaw pulling his back up to his lips. Newt let out a soft moan as Thomas pulled him quickly towards him. He stumble back a few steps and before he new it he was falling to the ground. Thomas fell on top of him avoiding landing on him, he pushed himself to the side laying beside him.
Thomas started laughing, making newt join in. Thomas had rolled over laying his head onto Newt stomach. Newt felt himself get tired quickly, as he rubbed his hand through Thomas's hair.
