NEWTS POV

Me and Minho were chilling on the sofa in our dorm. We were watching a movie, the movie was already about halfway. The movie is boring, I'm not even going to lie on that. It's so bloody boring. Minho seems to enjoy it, tho. I let my mind wander as I was not paying attention to the movie. Tommy and I have gotten a lot closer lately, and I must admit. I do like him, I like him a lot. I just fear rejection, Minho keeps telling me to just shoot my shot, but I just can't, I may not be scared of a lot of things, but rejection is completely different. Sometimes, I really wonder if Tommy likes me back, I see him blush at my stupid flirty jokes and comments, but that could just be blush from embarrassment. I can't stop thinking about him. Sometimes, I consider opening up myself and asking him out, but I just can't. I do flirt with him, but he probably just thinks of it as jokes.

"Yo bro, you good?"

Minho's question brought me back to reality, I nodded in response as he just smirked, "Thomas~?" He hummed, I rolled my eyes and just nodded once again. He sat up after I nodded, "Dude, cmon, you gatta ask him out." Here we go again.. "No, Minho, I'd rather not." Minho just frowned at my response, "PLUS, what if he doesn't accept me?" Minho was getting ready to answer, but I added on, "Imagine how bloody awkward it would be. We share the same dorm for god's sake!" Minho just facepalmed, "You're an absolute idiot." I ignored that sentence and let him continue. "It's so obvious he likes you!" I just sighed, "he's like, head over heels for you!" I just raised my eyebrow, "how are you so sure?" I was genuinely confused. He seemed to be so genuine. "I just am!" That was a disappointing response. But I just accepted it, "just drop it, I'm not asking him." Minho sighed and continued the movie.

MINHO'S POV

I genuinely don't know why Newt is scared of asking Thomas out. It's so obvious that the 2 love each other. But I just dropped it, and I turned the movie back on. We watched a bit more until Thomas came into the room. He was with Teresa. They were laughing and playfully hitting each other. Honestly, it made me feel a bit jealous, but i looked over at Newt and.. knowing him for 15 years, his expression is telling me he's madly jealous. I wish there was a way I could set the 2 up,

...

Then it hit me, I can, and I know just the thing.

THOMAS POV

Me and Teresa walked into my dorm, talking, but I ended up glancing over at Newt at some point, and I saw him glaring right into my eyes. That caught me off guard. He looked.. I don't know, like.. jealous? But jealous of what..? Or just mad. I realised I was staring into his eyes way too long. I looked back at Teresa and continued talking. Although I still felt his glare on me, it made me shiver.

Me and Teresa talked for a while until it was late. It was around.. maybe.. 11pm? But I was tired, so I told Teresa, and she smiled, hugged me, and said goodnight, walking out of the dorm. I yawned but went to the bathroom, I had to brush my teeth. I heard the dorm door open and close again, and that made me wonder. Did Newt or Minho leave? I ignored it and continued to brush my teeth. When I finished, I looked up into the mirror and jumped to the reflection of Minho behind me. "Jesus fucking christ!" I said, he scared the living shit out of me. He just laughed, sat down on the toilet with the seat down. "What??" I asked. He obviously wanted something. "Hm, I'm going to ask you something, and I want you to be honest, got it?" That's scary. "Uh.. sure." I was sceptical. "Do you like Newt?" He smirked, I instantly turned red and warm. "What?!" He just looked at me dead in the eyes, "I'm not stupid." He stated, I felt like I was just stuck. "I-" I didn't know what to answer. I sighed. He knew if I lied or not, so I was just going to be honest. "Yeah, I do." I said, sighing in defeat. He grinned, "I KNEW IT!" He seemed happy, "I FUCKING KNEW IT!" I just shook my head and spoke, "You better not tell Newt, I don't care if he's your best friend or whatever, you're not fucking telling him, GOT IT?!" Minho seemed stunned, he just nodded, "chill man!" He whined, "So defensive." He rolled his eyes. I just decided to leave the bathroom, although he followed. "Why don't you just -" Minho started, but I shushed him. "Newt could walk in any minute." I muttered. He just groaned.
