THOMAS POV

Me and Newt were packing most of our things. Today was the day he would meet my mom. I could tell he was extremely nervous, I tried to comfort him and tell him everything would be okay, but he couldn't stop stressing. He wanted to make a good impression.

We finished packing, and I quickly grabbed my pillow, I couldn't go anywhere without it. Newt smiled and took my suitcase along with his. "I have arms, you know," I scoffed. He just turned back and spoke, "I know!" He smiled and turned back around, walking out of the room. I rolled my eyes and followed.

We got out of school and stood there, in front of the entrance. I saw a car pull up. I'm pretty sure it was our taxi. Newt walked up and confirmed with the driver, and we got in.

This was going to be a bit of a drive.

Newt was talking to the bus driver and giving the location. I told him beforehand because I didn't want to speak. And that's where the car ride started.

Newt was being social with the driver, and they were talking back and forth. I just decided to go on my phone while also occasionally looking out the window.

20 MINS LATER

Eventually, the conversation between Newt and the driver quieted down, and Newt sat back and relaxed. I looked at him, and he looked back. He just smiled and put his arm around my waist, I smiled back and layed my head on his shoulder.

NEWTS POV

It wasn't long before Tommy dozed off, I don't know how long of a drive was left, but it's been about 50 something mins. I must admit, I am extremely nervous about meeting his mum.

I tried to drop it and calm down, but the stress was insane. I just sighed and slouched slightly, I got comfortable and pulled Tommy in closer by the waist, carefully not to wake him.

I looked out the window and saw all the trees pass by, one by one. We were close, and my stress just got heavier. I started picking my nails and biting the skin off of my lips. I felt Tommy shift, and he woke up. He looked up at me and grabbed my hand. I looked at him, and I saw him shake his head, "Stop that,"

THOMAS POV

Newts stress was getting worse. He was biting and picking his lips and nails. I was trying to reassure him that he doesn't need to be stressed. He smiled and just put his hand down onto his leg. That's where I grabbed it and placed it on my thigh, placing my own hand over his after. He seemed to calm down after a bit.

10 MINS LATER

We finally arrived, Newt was asleep, and it was time I woke him up. I gave him a slight shake, and he woke up. He looked around and sighed, "it's going to be fine." I said, for like the 50th time. He paid for the taxi and we got our suitcases and got out.

We stood in front of the front door, I heard Newt sigh and proceeded to knock. It took a few minutes, but eventually, my mom answered the door. She instantly ran out and hugged the shit out of me. "My baby!" "I missed you!" She was chanting, I just smiled. "I missed you too, mom." I said. She broke the hug and turned to Newt, "Well, aren't you handsome!" I saw Newt scratch the back of his neck, "Thank you..!" He said with a smile. "Of course, come on in!"
