Starting Over (Newtmas)

Chaper 9

A/N: THE DEATH CURE IS FINALLY OUT!!!!! I'M GOING TO GO WATCH IT TONIGHT!!!! I'M NOT READY 😭💔

Sometimes things you know so well you have memorized, can easily be forgotten when the knowledge needs to be used. Such as, in Thomas's case, the fact that werewolves have a great sense of smell.

When the gladers arrived at the park, Scott's nose immediately picked up the scent and he gave his long lost best friend a confused look. Thomas' first thought was 'the shank must just be confused that we've got two new guys with us this time.' That however was not the case.

Malia seemed to pick up on it next and downright snarled at Newt. Now the brunette was also confused. What did Newt do to her? Thomas glanced to his right side where Newt was, but he too looked confused.

"Uhhh is this a bad time?" Thomas tentatively asked. "We can always reschedule..." He trailed off at the end as Scott just tilted his head looking like he was trying to figure the boy out. Thomas heard Minho mutter something behind him about them being "utter shanks."

The rest of the pack either smelt the same thing the alpha had or knew something was up because they too looked confused. "Right then," Thomas clapped his hands, "this was lovely, really, but I think we're just gonna go an-"

"NO!" Scott finally spoke. Well, more like yelled. "Sorry, it's just you smell strongly of sex." Scott explained sheepishly while Thomas' cheeks turned bright red. Shit!

'How could I have forgotten about enhanced smell? I knew I should have taken a shower before we left! However, it turns out Newt is really cute and cuddly after sex and I opted to just stay in bed with him for as long as possible.'

"And so does he." Malia growled while pointing an accusatory finger at Newt.

"Well, I would hope so. It would be bloody awkward if I didn't since this shank is my boyfriend." Newt's response made Thomas's stomach flutter. 'Newt called me his boyfriend.' The brunette tilted his head down to hide his smile.

"Shucking finally!" Minho hollered from behind the boys and clapped his hands on their shoulders. "Been waiting for you shanks to get together since back in the glade."

Teresa elbowed him in the side and whispered "We're in the middle of something here. Wait till we get back to the motel to congratulate them would ya?" Minho mumbled a sorry and returned to his spot.

"Why do you seem surprised?" Thomas asked Scott. "Was I a virgin before or something." The boy chuckled a little at the end.

"No." Malia growled making him stop chuckling.

"What's her deal?" Newt whispered to his boyfriend and Thomas shrugged enough for Newt to see. Once again they forgot something they had drilled into their heads. Werewolves have super hearing.

"My deal is that Stiles was my boyfriend!" Malia snarled out. That definitely surprised him.

"Really? How come I remember Lydia more than you?" Thomas asked as curiosity got the best of him, as it tends to do.

"I don't know!" Malia sounded exasperated like she'd been asking herself the same question over and over.

Thomas could tell Newt was uncomfortable next to him. Definitely the jealous type.

"I'm sorry about everything that's happened but I'm not Stiles anymore. Even if I got my memories back I still wouldn't be the same Stiles. After all that we've gone through I don't think there's ever any going back. I'm also sorry you lost your boyfriend but don't expect me to be him and for us to go back to how things apparently were before. I'm in love with Newt and nothing is going to change that." When Thomas finished his little rant he noticed everyone was staring at him surprised. "What?" Then he realized what he said and stiffened. Shit.

"Tommy?" Newt quietly called the brunette's name from beside him but his mind was racing a mile a minute and didn't hear him. 'Shit I just said I loved Newt!' His heart started pounding, 'what if he doesn't love me back?'

It was all to much. Thomas did what he was trained to do, he ran.

He ran the whole way back to the motel and didn't stop once.

Scott's POV

The pack got to the park at 9:30. As the time neared, Scott started getting anxious. 'What if they didn't show. What if they had to leave again already. What if they were never here in the first place and this was Stilinski's way of coping with his son purposefully leaving him?'

The thoughts were never ending. Luckily Malia was there to calm his nerves. "It'll be okay, Scott. He'll be here." She said soothingly.

The smell was noticed first before they even came through the gate. It smelt strongly of barely fading arousal. And it was radiating off of Stiles and the blond.

Scott knew they were together but it was still surprising. Thomas kept trying to talk to them but they were all confused and surprised.

The pack never expected Stiles would be into guys. Sure he'd joke about it every now and then but he was always hardcore into the girls. Especially Lydia.

He said something about leaving and Scott snapped out of his thoughts, "NO!" He yelled. Yelling was probably unnecessary but oh well. He explained why they were confused and when Newt said they were dating it all officially hit home. Apparently for Malia too. She ended up snapping at the British boy and Stiles started ranting about how he's not Stiles anymore. It hurt a little bit.

When he announced that he loved the blond boy, the whole pack was all beyond shocked and surprised. Apparently, so were the others. Must be his first time saying it out loud. Typical Stiles. Blurt out the fact that you love someone in the middle of a rant.

When he bolted though it felt like they'd taken two steps back. They didn't even get to talk about anything important during this visit.

Scott heard Newt shout, "TOMMY, WAIT!" Before mumbling something that sounded like 'shuck' and took off after the brunette as fast as his limp would allow him.

At least some things were finally cleared up about their relationship for the pack.
