Romeo and Romeo?

It's a Big Step.

Thomas hand his hands on Newt's shoulders. Holding him tight making sure that even if there was the slightest chance, Newt wasn't gonna make a leap for his life. "Newt, my entire life I have had no one. My father was abusive and my mother was numb, now she's just psychotic. I only had some one from the time I was when my grandmother was alive, but she passed when I was younger. She left me alone with no one, and now that you're here. I finally have someone again. My grandmother was the only thing I ever cared about, she was my whole world. Now you are."

Thomas turned Newt to look at him.

"I know we hated each other at first, but Newt. We don't anymore, Newt I don't hate you, I don't even like you."

Newt raised an eyebrow. His left one to be more specific. 

"Newt, I'm in love with you."

Newt was taken back. He finally knew now, that Thomas felt the same way about him that he did Thomas. Newt smiled, "I love you too, but-"

Thomas hushed him, "I have never loved anyone before and being in love scares the shit out of me, but if I'm gonna be in love, I want it to be with you. I don't wanna do this with anyone else and I know that Teresa keeps fucking everything up, but I want to keep her away. So I know why I'm doing this. It's not because of Teresa, It's because I love you."

Thomas took a step back from Newt then bent down on his left knee, "Newt Collins, I want the world to be ours. I want to give the world to you. I love you more than anything, will you marry me?"

Thomas opened the small box he held in his hand, inside was a ring, it was a thin silver band with four small diamonds embedded in it. This ring was Thomas grandmothers, she wore it when she died. It then became Thomas'. 

Newt looked at Thomas then the ring. Newt loved Thomas. He really did.

Newt glanced back at Thomas and shook his head, "No."

Thomas was almost heart broken, he knew what he did was a big step, but he didn't think Newt would turn him down. "Why?"

Newt scratched his head, "Just No."

Newt would have married Thomas if it was a different time, in a different situation, and they had been together longer. They haven't even told anyone about their relationship, how would people react to them just all of a sudden being engaged. Newt walked passed Thomas and down the trail. Thomas followed him, Newt got into the car. Then so did Thomas.

Thomas looked at Newt, "Are you mad with me?"

"Yes."

Thomas tried to grabbed Newt's hand, but Newt took it away, "Can I ask why?"

Newt shrugged, "No." 

Thomas looked away and started the car. Thomas drove Newt home, when they got there Newt went right inside without saying a single word. Thomas put his face in his hands, he believed that he just ruined his relationship with Newt. Thomas eventually turned off the car and walked into the house. Newt was in his room, while Mr. Olson was in the living room. 

"What happened Thomas?"

Thomas cleared his throat, "Well....I tried talking to him like you said, but I think my proposal was a little to much."

Thomas threw the small box onto the table. 

Mr. Olson looked at his son like he was crazy, "I said talk to him, not propose."

Thomas sighed, "I know, but I love him and I didn't know what to do."

Mr. Olson smiled, "Tell you what, just keep trying to talk to him. Without proposing. He can't not talk to you forever."
