December 1st, 2001

Newt was practically bursting with excitement. He kept bouncing on his feet and smiling.

"Relax," Thomas said softly as he grabbed Newt's arm. "You're gonna pass out."

"I am relaxed!" Newt snapped, his smile only disappearing for a second before coming right back.

Thomas smiled and pulled him slightly closer so he could press a soft kiss to his cheek. "You're cute."

When he opened his eyes Newt was gone. He could feel him struggling in his grasp.

"Turning invisible everytime I flirt with you isn't gonna make me stop."

Newt groaned and stopped struggling.

"Hey are you guys ready? Where's Newt?" El asked as she walked into the room. She was in her suit, dark blue pants and a top with yellow running up the sides. The most impressive part was the thick belt around her waist with the huge circular X in the middle.

"Here," Newt said as he appeared, his arm still being held by Thomas.

"You two are so fuckin weird," Kis exclaimed as she appeared from behind El.

Thomas swore that was the first time he'd seen wearing something with color. Her suit practically matched El's, she had the same belt. A belt that Newt and Thomas would soon have.

Kis tossed each of them a suit. "Put these on, you gotta look the part."

"Don't take too long!" El shouted as Newt and Thomas took off in a race toward the bathrooms.

Kis rolled her eyes. "Is X sure about this?"

El smiled as she watched the bathroom doors slam. "They'll be great and you know it."

Kis shook her head as the boys burst out in their new suits, the dark blue and yellow color matching the girl's.

Newt was grinning so hard, she was sure his face was gonna fall off.

Kis found herself smiling, she was happy to see her friend happy. Newt deserved this.

"Maybe it won't be too bad."

Thomas discreetly took Newt's hand as they walked back over to the girls, he threaded their fingers together, smiling brighter as he did.

"Okay, we're ready."

"Follow me." El grinned as she led the boys into the all familiar training room.

Xavier was sitting in there with Hank and a small group of kids dressed in the same suits as them.

The professor smiled when he saw them. "How are you boys?"

Newt tried to contain himself, putting on his regular "cool" exterior.

"I'm good X."

Thomas nodded in agreement. Newt dropped his hand to smoothen out his suit.

Xavier looked at Hank who gave hima curt nod and grabbed two boxes.

He handed one to Thomas and then one to Newt who looked like he was going to pass out.

Newt ripped his open like a little kid on Christmas. He let the box fall to the floor as he pulled out the belt that rested inside.

He looked at Thomas, grinning harder than he ever had in his life.
