~The diner~

...~Chapter 21~...

(Unedited)

Welcome to possibly the last chapter of this story! That literally made me so sad... anywho! Hope you enjoy!

(Time skip to after both did college... I'm so sorry... Also, again, it's gonna be super rushed..! I can't write! Yay!)

Both Thomas and Newt have both finished college and are now facing the real world. The rent on their apartment as... only gotten worse. The only thing keeping Newt from freaking out and doing bad things is Thomas. Thomas helps him calm down and keeps him from wasting their money and selling memories. They both still have kept their promises, never forgetting them.

"Hey, Tommy? Have you seen my keys?" Newt asks as he looks through the couch cushions. "They're not on the counter?" Thomas asks, looking over his shoulder from his book. "I've already checked there," Newt yells back. Thomas sighs and puts his book down. "I'm coming!" He says and starts walking to the kitchen where Newt is rummaging through the kitchen. Thomas looks at the kitchen island, "Why don't you check over there," he points to right where the keys are. "I checked there! I swear!" Newt says as he walks over and grabs the keys. "I'm sure you did, baby," Thomas says and kisses Newt passionately. Newt smiles into the kiss. "Tommy, I've gotta go," he says, trying to pull away, but Thomas grab is too strong. "Noooo!" Thomas whines. "Yesss!" Newt whines back. Newt kisses Thomas' temple. "I promise I won't be out late tonight." He whispers, making Thomas let go. "Okay... I love you," Newt smiles, "Love you too." They kiss again, and then Newt's out the door.

Thomas sighs, why does he have to leave?...

Thomas has been feeling... alone. Newt's been having to work a little harder while Thomas only has to do 5 work days a week. Newt really is trying. He wants to make Thomas live a better life, since he knew that Thomas' past life was terrible.

"Might as well get some work done."

In Thomas' free time, he would write or draw. He hoped to someday write and illustrate children's books. He has a few of characters.

He gets out his iPad which he's been writing on for now, and draw another page. Thanks to Newt, he's been pretty good at drawing. Writing was always something he was good at but now he's also good at drawing. He's found his hobby, making him pretty happy about it all.

He works on page after page in just 5 hours. Each one looking better then the last. Thomas looks at the time and realizes it's almost time for dinner, meaning that Newt should be home soon. He's hoping Newt will be home soon...

He gets out some pots and pours water into it, getting ready to make spaghetti, Newt's favorite. Thomas found out about this when Newt made a pot of spaghetti enough for 2 weeks, making Thomas ask, making Thomas figure out he loves it.

Thomas found out how to make it the way Newt's mother used to make it, it was hard, but he did. It wasn't exactly like his mother's, but it was close enough.

After Thomas puts the water on the stove to heat it up, hr gets out another pot and starts making the sauce. He gets some wine glasses out, also getting out the champagne. Why am I making it so special? He shrugged.

10 minutes later, Newt arrived. (A/n: Sorry, this is so dumb 😂)

"Wow, what's all this?" Newt asked as he set his bag on the couch. "Well, I just wanted to have a fancy dinner. Don't know why, I guess I was just in the mood?" Newt laughs. "Well thank you, Tommy," he kissed Thomas cheek, making Thomas smile and laugh. "I love you," Thomas whispers. "Love you too," Newt says and smiles wide. How lucky am I to have Thomas as a boyfriend?

"Well, Tommy, I think it's perfect that you made tonight special, since I have something special planned out later," Newt says and Thomas smiles. "And what might that be?" Thomas asks and Newt shakes his head. "You can't know until it's time." Thomas roles his eyes. "Whyyyy?" He whines and Newt laughs. "Cause if I tell you, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore and thats no fun," Thomas rolls his eyes again. "Fine,"

Thomas finished the food, getting out bolls and wine glasses.

"Seriously Tommy, what's the special occasion? We never have wine," Newt says and they sit down at the table. Newt across from Thomas and Thomas across of Newt.

They ate their dinner together, each telling the other about their days. Thomas told Newt how he started another few pages of his book and Newt told Thomas about his day being a teacher at the art museum. And as usual, it was fun and stressful at it's own times. Of course he loved teaching the kids something that he loved doing, but they were also hard to deal with.

"Well, I'm glad that you had an okay day," Thomas said, reaching his hand over the table and holding Newt's hand. "Well, I know how to make it a great day. For me and you." Newt says and stands up from the chair. "Newt, what are you doing?" Thomas laughs, following Newt with his eyes.

"Tommy, you and I have been dating for almost 5-6 years now, and I'm so glad that we have. I wouldn't want anyone else to have spend those 5-6 years with me, other then you. You have made my life, so amazing. You helped me realize what an actual crazy lady Teresa is, and made me have an amazing life. We're both almost 26, (A/n: Not really sure... 😂) And now has to be the best time to possibly do this..." Newt says and gets on one knee.

"Newt, what are you doing?" Thomas asks nervously. Oh please be doing what I think you're doing. "Tommy, you know I love you with all my heart, right?" Thomas nods, his eyes feeling with tears. "Tommy... Will you- uh- do the honors... of becoming my husband?" Newt asks, hope filling his eyes. Thomas stays silent for a second, then jumps into Newt's arms. "Yes! Yes of course!" Thomas cries and Newt smiles. "Oh thank you Tommy! Thank you, thank you!" Newt says and kisses Thomas passionately. Thomas kisses back and smiles into the kiss.

"God I love you," Newt says between kisses. "I love you too," Thomas laughs.
