hey look ma, I made it

Everything was fine up to the music festival. The morning after Newt was drunk Thomas told him he loved him as they made breakfast and Newt kissed him about a hundred times before saying it back. The music festival went amazing, the three absolutely killed it. Thomas brought Rose and her friend Addison who was probably more than a friend but Thomas didn't pry. It was after the show when everything started it's stealthy spiral downwards.

Thomas brought Rose and Addison backstage, totally for their enjoyment and not as an excuse to see Newt. He looked good after his shows with the bandana he tied around his head to keep his hair out of his face, his tight jeans and his sleeveless shirts.

When Newt saw Thomas he grinned and pulled him into a hug before kissing him. "Hi."

Thomas couldn't stop the stupid grin from spreading across his face. "Hello to you too."

"Hi Newt!" Rose piped up as she appeared behind Thomas. She was holding the blonde girl's hand which was even more suspicious but again, Thomas didn't pry.

"My favorite Edison child!" Newt grinned as he high fived the girl. "What's up?"

Rose went off on a ramble about how good they did and how amazing they are while Thomas slid his arm around Newt's waist and rested his head on his shoulder.

"I think I need to thank you properly Rose," Newt said as he pressed a kiss to Thomas' head. "I like your brother quite a lot and he told me you dragged him to our show."

Rose nodded. "He was practically drooling over you the whole time."

Newt snorted out a laugh as Thomas glared at his sister.

"Rosie shut up you're not supposed to tell him these things!"

Newt just smiled and patted Thomas' cheek. "Don't worry pretty boy I was thinking the same things about you...anyways Minho sucks at social media and is going to run us into the ground if he keeps at it so what do you think? Wanna be the official manager of our instagram?"

Rose's entire face lit up. "Seriously?!"

Newt nodded. "I trust you more than Minho."

Rose smiled so hard Thomas thought the girl was going to break her face.

Thomas fished into his pocket and handed her a crumpled up ten dollar bill. "Here, both of you go get some food or something and make sure you drink water!"

Rose nodded and took the money, shouting a thank you over her shoulder before running off with her possible girlfriend.

"You're so nice to her," Thomas said as he kissed Newt again.

Newt just wiggled his eyebrows. "That get me some good boyfriend points?"

Thomas nodded. "Might even be enough to get you laid later."

"Fuck yeah." Newt grinned as he hooked his arm around Thomas' shoulders and pulled him closer to kiss him.

"Gross!" Minho shouted from behind them. Thomas jumped a bit before turning around and frowning at the drummer.

Newt groaned. "Minho why are you always like this?"

Minho shrugged as he flipped his drum stick in the air. "Ran into Thomas' sister, took a picture with her and the blonde girl and they told me where you were."

"So you're bothering us because you're bored?"

"Essentially yes."

Newt rolled his eyes, sliding his arm back from around Thomas' shoulders before asking, "where's Teresa?"
