Newt didn't answer anything. He was quiet and looked into Thomas' eyes. The other boy held his breath and didn't know what to think.

Is he mad? Does he hate me now? Was I too quick? Did I make this move too early? Maybe I've should've go to the formal with Teresa? Oh, I'm an idiot.

,, I...I don't know what to say."

Is that it? Is this everything he has to say? Why isn't he shouting at me?

,, This is...wow." Newt didn't look at Thomas. He looked somewhere else.

Thomas' mind was about to explode. Why doesn't he say anything?? Is he happy? No, I don't think so. Please Newt, answer to me!

,, Oh, Thomas." Newt said and hugged him. Thomas didn't expect that but hugged him back. He felt how his shoulder became wet. Newt was crying.

,, Newt...please don't cry."

,, D-Do you really mean it?"

Thomas pushed Newt away softly and looked into his beautiful eyes. Well, at least he thought they were beautiful.

,, Why wouldn't I?"

Tears fell down on Newt's face faster than ever.

,, Don't cry. Please."

,, I'm not crying." Newt said and wiped the tears away. Thomas smirked and that made Newt smile.

,, I'm just so happy. That's why I was crying."

,, I'm glad to hear that you're happy."

They sat in a deep silence for few minutes before Thomas noticed how Newt's facial impression changed from happy to sad.

,, Hey, is everything okay?" Thomas asked.

,, I just...realized that..." He breathed in.
,, No matter how much I want to come to this formal with you...I can't."

Happiness was wiped away from Thomas at this moment.

,, Why?"

,, I-I don't have nothing to wear...I'm so sorry."

Thomas wasn't suprised. It was obvious that parents like this who Newt had right now, didn't buy him any clothes. Not to mention buying a suit.

,, You...You can come." He said.

,, H-How?" Newt's voice sounded sad. He didn't believe that there was any chance that he could go.

Thomas stood up and started to search for something. He walked around his room, opened and closed doors and drawers and even took all things out of his backpack.

,, What are you looking for?" Newt asked.
Thomas rummaged through his papers that were on the desk. These flew everywhere.

,, One thing."

,, What?" Newt saw how Thomas went to his wardrobe and opened it.

,, No! You're not going to give me your clothes!"

,, I'm not going to give you my clothes."

,, Or suit! I won't take it!"

,, Who told you that I'm going to give you my things?"

Newt was confused.

What is he looking for then?

,, Can you please tell me what are you looking for?"

,, Here it is." Thomas closed the wardrobe's door and said. ,, Let's go." He held something in his hand.

,, Why do you need your wallet?" Newt asked. He was confused.

Then his eyes widened.

,, I'm not going to give you my suit. I'm gonna buy you one." Thomas said with a smile on his face.
