ribbons

Newt was getting worried. He didn't like Thomas this far from here. He needed Thomas. It was like... Tommy was his drug.

Today, Thomas would be working with the Track-hoes, doing all the gardening in the Glade. Newt used this as an advantage to speak to him.

"Tommy?" he asks and Thomas sighs before turning round to face Newt.

He looked terrible. Newt thought. He regretted that suddenly. His eyes weren't a soft brown but a dark colour, almost black. His hair was messy and his smile was broken.

"I just wanted to say sorry for what you saw. I mean—"

"It's not your fault." and Newt looks at him confused.

Thomas, once again, sighs before sitting down, the blonde sitting down next to him. The brunette puts his head on the second-in-command's shoulder and he squeals, him suddenly getting up.

"Are you okay?" Thomas asks and he nods, mentally slapping myself in the face as he goes back into the position he was in before.

After a moment of silence, Thomas decided to speak up.

"Newt... I didn't mean to freak out."

"Everyone does at first. It's okay, Tommy." Newt laughs, slowly wrapping his arm around Thomas.

Newt looks over to Thomas' wrist and realises something. The ribbon wasn't there. Thomas didn't keep his promise.

His eyes filled with tears, he couldn't believe it. He got up, not noticing how Thomas had fallen onto the floor.

"Newt? Newt, what happened?" his voice held concern.

But the blonde ignored him and stormed off and bumped into Chuck on the way.

"Woah Newt, slow down."

He noticed the boy in a horrible state so he let him pass him.

"Time to put the plan in action." and with that, little Chuck skipped back to the Homestead.
