"Hey, I wanna take you out on a date." Thomas whispered happily while they were watching a movie in the theatre, Newt resting his head on Thomas' shoulder.
"So what we're doing now is just casual hanging out?" Newt responded who immediately looked at Thomas with a confused look on his face.
"No, no. It's just..." Thomas shifted so that he's staring directly at Newt, holding The blonde's hand. "Look, we've been together for a week now and I sleep at your apartment too..."
"Yeah? What's so wrong with that?" Newt raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing, but don't you think we're going too fast?" Thomas asked sincerely.
Newt thought about it too. After they patched things up, they we're basically inseparable like hippies in a love-in. Should they slow it down?
"Do you want to slow this down?" Newt asked, pulling Thomas closer to him as if he's telling him that he doesn't need the slowing down.
"We don't exactly have to slow down... Maybe we should just start from me not sleeping at yours every night." Thomas confessed. Newt looked visibly upset and Thomas did not like that.
"Newt, If I keep sleeping at your place the entire time, I won't be able to miss you. And this is new for both of us." Thomas secured Newt.
"I think that month apart gave me enough time to miss you." Newt hugged the brunette now, not paying attention to the awful movie.
"We have to start over, don't you think? I want to have the chance to spoil you, take you out and kiss you under the stars. I want to make you feel special." Thomas explained to the upset Newt.
"Okay. Sure." Newt quickly got up and started to leave. Thomas feared that what he said pained Newt.
"Newt, please, hea-"
"Pick me up at 8. I'm Newt. And you are?" Newt smiled and offered his hands for Thomas to shake. Thomas was confused at first but got the hint. He shook the blonde's hand and smiled at him too.
"Thomas. 8 then, see you later, Newt." Thomas face brightened despite the fact that the cinema was pitch black.
"Can't wait!" Newt winked at him and left. Thomas has a lot of things planned for them to do. He sat back and ate the remaining popcorn while smiling like an idiot.
Newt was having a hard time picking out what to wear. He had piles of clothes on his bed and he was about to give up.
"I don't have anything!" Newt shouted and plopped down to the bed, bellyflop.
"Woah! What exactly is going on here?" Minho chimed when he went inside Newt's bedroom.
"Thomas and I are starting over and he's taking me out on a date. Little did I know that my clothes are for shit." Newt explained, not moving on the bed.
Why did Newt even agreed to this? It was too... sappy for him. For the past week he wanted Thomas beside him but that was maybe because of the daze he was in. It was still new and they went too fast. OH GOD THEY WENT TOO FAST! Newt realized how cheesy he was being for the past couple of days! He was disgusted and repelled by himself! Maybe it was the effect Thomas had on him. Maybe the feeling of not missing someone relieved him. Maybe his brain left his head. Maybe his heart lead him in too deep.
"I have clothes, borrow them!" Minho offered sitting beside Newt.
"I can't." Newt curled up on the bed. "Too big."
Newt looked up at Minho and the black haired guy chuckled.
"What?" Newt asked sitting up on the bed.
"You're blushing." Minho pointed at Newt's cheek. "Why?" Minho turned in front of him and stared at the blonde.
"Nothing. It's just..." Newt was lost for words, what was he gonna say? 'I was a needy bitch this past few days and he liked it'? What?
"Well?" Minho interrupted Newt's train of thought.
"Do you think I haven't been myself the past few days?" Newt asked, face hidden from Minho's stare.
"What do you mean?" Minho asked, confused by the question.
"Well... I was with Thomas the whole week since we made up. We were cuddling, kissing, sleeping in the same bed and I didn't want to change anything but now..." Newt wondered.
"Yeah?" Minho inquired.
"Now, I think that was only because I was relieved to have him back, you know. I-I did not feel like myself. Usually I would have flipped people off when they did the same things he and I did." Newt explained.
"Yeah... You were acting really weird, I agree." Minho sighed and laid down in the pile of clothes.
"You think so too?" Newt was embarrassed now! Minho noticed him being too needy and clingy. He was disgusting!
"Sort off. But maybe that's because you missed him so much. I mean those couple of days since you guys made up, you were yourself when you were with me and Brenda but when Thomas comes in you have twinkle in your eyes and suddenly liked hugging and being hugged." Minho was staring at the ceiling not looking at the mortified look on Newt's face.
"Oh, god! I've gone sap!" Newt cupped his face in embarrassment.
"That's fine though. Thomas likes it." Minho sat up and patted Newt on the back.
"Not for me! I just realized how I became that person who I really want to punch and wished to get hit by a truck!" Newt was pacing back and forth now.
"Calm down, Newt."
Newt was not letting himself slip. He liked the feeling that he had for the past week with Thomas but now, having spent some hours apart, he realized that he was not that person. That person was another side of him. The side where he missed the brunette greatly and would do anything to not let him go. He did not like that at all.
"Maybe this was a great idea. You know, starting over. That way I can be myself and not the clingy and needy version of me. Having him here would make that part of me control my body!" Newt lightened up.
"Great. Now stop pacing! We've got a mission to do!" Newt turned to Minho who was basically shoveling in the pile of clothes the blonde had.
"As I told you, my clothes are shit." Newt joined Minho for the hunt for good clothes.
"We'll find something." Minho stated and looked at the blue shirt thinking it was fancy enough to wear. Nope, not even close.
