Blondie // newtmas au (abandoned)

sick.

// first of all, LOOK HOW CUTE THOMAS IS HES CUDDLING A KITTY. second of all, actually having people read this story makes me kinda excited, (I started writing cause I was like why not) so for the few of you who enjoy it, I hope it doesn't become slacking cause it might idk I tend to do that in my stories. But thanks for reading though! I'll try to get some ideas here and there so this will actually have a plot. Anyways, hope you enjoy my short chapter //

I woke up to the worst headache which is weird because I didn't drink at all last night, or so I remember.
I groan, lifting my head up from Thomas' shoulder. My throat also feels very sore, I must be sick. But this can't happen, I can't just miss my classes.

"Morning, blondie.You okay?" Thomas asked and I jump a little, not realizing he was awake.

"Ah yeah, I'm okay, I just feel crappy today" I say softly, rubbing my eyes.

"You do? Are you sick?" He asked, concerned. "You should stay here, not go to class, and I'll stay with you!"

I smile a little, he really doesn't want to go to classes, but I have to go, I can't miss these classes. I've always been afraid of failing, so not going to school when I'm sick is surprisingly the worst thing about it. "No no Thomas, I have to go to class, I can't miss any classes, I just can't" I say, with a slightly nervous tone, coughing after.

"Newt, you can't go in, you're sick and that will just make you feel even more miserable having to sit through classes. Besides, you'll get other people sick. Listen, I'll stay here with you and I'll take care of you" he says, with a smile, rubbing my back.

Take care of me? What am I five? I mean, I know I look five, but I don't need to be taken care of, I'm an adult and it's just a cold. Then again, having Thomas worrying about me, and giving me anything I ask for does sound like paradise. I'd do anything to just spend the whole day with him.

I let out a sigh, "fine, okay" I nod, slightly.

Thomas stands up, "lovely, I'll make you something, do you want anything?" He asks, gesturing to the kitchen then placing his hands on his hips.

I lay back, sniffling, "just soup" I nod, "and a glass of water, please" I say, looking up at him.

He smiles and nods, walking to the kitchen to first, pour a glass of water and then starting to heat up the soup. "So, why were you so worked up about having to miss class?" He asks, turning to me, and handing me the water.

I shrug slightly, taking the water and having a sip, then clearing my throat. "I just get anxious about missing class, I have a fear of failing" I say quietly, almost ashamed, I'm ashamed of everything about myself really. "But, I know it's just one day, I'll be alright."

"You don't have to worry 'bout that, you're really smart Newt and it's just one day, you'll catch up" he said with a smile and nodded.

What he said made me smile not just on the outside, am I that smart? And he's right, I can catch up, I won't miss much.

Time passed, as I ate my soup, and drank the rest of my water. We began to watch 'Supernatural' and me trying not to cough and disrupt the episode.

Thomas wrapped his arms around me, paying complete attention to the show. But not me, my cheeks turned red once he did and I couldn't pay attention. But what Thomas asked, made me completely stunned.

"do you like me, blondie?"

// aHH yes he does Thomas. And sorry it's short again, please expect my chapters to be like that. But I hope you like this one! Kinda a cliffhanger //
