An Uncontrollable Bromance (Thomas × Percy)

Part 3. Coming Out

The next morning, was a Sunday. No one was really awake and, the sun had just rose. Even though he tried his hardest, Thomas couldn't fall asleep. He sat there awake all night, thinking of what woild happen if he and Percy, his best friend, got together for a week. He wondered,
"What if I accidentally break his heart? What if we get 'touchy'? Would anyone judge us for who we're into? I know Gordon would probably run into the ditch again, to see his ship has finnaly sailed. Emily would however, kill him, if she found out... and I can't lose my best friend." What he didn't know, was rthat Percy had learnt to read lips, and he read Thomas's lips with interest. Thomas would often mouth his thoughts, and never knew about Percy's little trick.
"You really think I'd actually do that, pal. I'm not the pervert of us... that's James and Murdoch." Percy said slyly. Thomas tensed up and his eyes darted towards Percy's. As he stared into his little friends eyes, he noticed that they were abnormally large. His nose was so small and round, unlike his, lond and pointed. His smile really wide and, little pink cheeks. "So... are you going to answer me or not?" Grumbled Percy. Thomas stuttered for a moment, and then spoke quietly.
"Um... what was your question again?"
"I said 'Do you really think I'd actually do that? I'm not the perv, here... it's James and Murdoch'. Thats what I said." Percy eyed his crush suspiciously.
"How did you know that?"
"Murdoch taught me a little thing a while ago... and it's really none of your concern of how I know." Percy said something that he never liked asking, or being asked.
"Um... hey... uh, um I uh..."
"What Percy?"
"What's your sexuality?" Percy screeched loudly. His heart fell, he never liked that question, but he of all engines, asked that question.
"Well... I was going to wait until later, but if you want to know so eagerly. I am actually bi." Percy felt a little bit better. He smiled at Thomas and blushed a little. Thomas looked back at him and grinned a bit, and blushed like Gordon around Murdoch. Percy then left the sheds, quickly. After ten minutes or so, he returned to enter the middle birth of the sheds. Thomas knew what was going to happen, so he moved slightly forward and, their lips connected. Both engines felt something neither felt before. "Is this what we think it is?" Thomas asked excitedly.
"I belive so, hun."
"Don't do that. Ever again."
"Noted." Both engines sat there in silence. When they thought it'd never end, Percy started to laugh hysterically. He kept on laugh when Thomas asked what was funny. After he calmed down, Percy told Thomas why he was laughing. Once he'd finished, the two friends were laughing together, like they did once before. Percy then moved out when he herd something he never thought he'd hear.
"No! Don't... I can't have you get hurt." Cried the blue E2. The saddle tank looked at his friend confused, yet happy.
"May I ask why?" He mumbled cheekily. Percy knew Thomas had a lot of secrets, including some of his. Thomas didn't answer, he just looked worried for his friend. It then dawned on Percy, why Thomas was being over protective. Emily could be anywhere, and Thomas knew that Percy would disappear forever.
"I don't want to lose you, again. I like you, okay!" Percy felt lighter than ever. His heart soared through the sky, popping out of fluffy and bubbly clouds when it was struck by gunshot. It fell when Percy thought like as in only a friend.
"Do you mean as a friend... or... um. Like as in, in love, kinda like?"
"The latter." Thomas murmured. Percy had herd him as, Murdoch had also taught him exceedingly good listening. Percy squealed happily. He felt some bad feelings leave him. But most did stay. Thomas, being the sneaky guy he is, got coupled up to Percy without him knowing, so when Percy tried to leave, he couldn't. He looked at Thomas, twitched his eyebrow, and Thomas just looked back with a small grin. Percy glanced down to see that he'd been coupled to his love interest.
"Really? You made a big mistake." Percy said glaring at Thomas through wincing eyes.
"How may I ask, am I in trouble?"
"You're messing with the biggest homosexual on Sodor."
"Well, shit... my fault... um... I'll just call a shunter and get us..."
"This is your fault... now pucker up, big shot." Percy charged forward and their lips connected. What neither engine knew, was that Edward, Arthur and Gordon were watching through the little window in the right birth wall. All three of them squealed, with excitement.
"Finally!" They all cried, together.
"I'll tell James the good news!" Said Edward as he reversed back to Knapford.
