AUTHOR'S NOTICE: Hey everyone and welcome to the preview of my new story "Heart of Spades." This preview isn't a finalized version of this and things within this could change when I post the first chapter. This will be an experimental story for I never did a humanized TTTE story before of a rated M story like this so it'll be interesting. I do know the story will have sexual context, foul language, and drama, but there will be light-hearted and touching moments between the characters.

I hope you guys enjoy this preview and I hope you will be excited for when I post the actual story when I'm done with the first chapter. Enjoy!

"A-Ah…" A soft voice moaned in a darkened room.

The room was dark with only the glows of candles scattered around. The flames flickered a bit as rain battered against a window. The soft moans echoed in the room as shadows danced along the dark colored walls. The sounds of sheets rustled as they were pushed aside on the spacious bed. In the center, two figures moved around, one on top of the other. Laying against the mattress was a teen with soft brown hair and slightly pale skin. His body was toned with some muscles visible on his arms and stomach. Cheeks red and love bites scattered across his neck and chest. The sweat on his brow plastered his bangs against the skin, his eyes opening a bit. Beautiful sapphire orbs were glazed over in lust, his mouth slightly opened as his tongue stuck out from panting. A low moan escaped his mouth as he hazily looked up at the person on top of him.

The muscles in the figure's arms glistened with sweat as his body thrusted against the teen. His hot breath smelled of cinnamon and spices filled the teen's nose, intoxicating him. With shaking hands, the teen slowly trailed his soft fingers down the other's muscular chest and down to his abs. His fingers traced every outline of the 8-pack the male on top of him told him that he was strong. The teen enjoyed this view, looking up at the figure that made him feel loved and pleasured. The male on top lowered himself, their chests pressed against each other as his soft lips sucked on the teen's neck. His tongue slowly trailing against his skin as his teeth gently grazed him.

"D-Don't...Don't stop…" The teen moaned as he leaned his head back, his fingers digging into the other male's back.

"I-I won't…" The male's voice whispered into his ear, his voice full of lust.

Their moans grew louder as their bodies rocked against the silk sheets, the headboard of the bed hitting against the wall. The teen wrapped his legs around the other's waist, his arms wrapping around his neck to hold him close. Strands of black and red hair brushed against his face as the figure's body seemed to heat up some more. The warmth radiating off of him was comfortable compared to his cold body. He wanted nothing more than to stay in the arms of the male above him. His voice was smooth as silk and made his body tremble and feel weak. Looking up at him, sapphire orbs met brilliant ruby colors as their lips met. Their tongues battled for dominance, rubbing against each other as the teen felt himself getting close to his climax.

"J-Ja-"

RRRIIINNNGGG

The alarm clock on a bedside table rang as a teen shot up in bed, panting hard and his face red. Chocolate brown hair clung to his face as sapphire orbs looked around the room, his breath coming out in short pants. Sighing sadly, the teen collapsed onto his back, staring at the ceiling as he wiped the sweat off his brow.

"Why couldn't my alarm wait a few more minutes?" The teen groaned, blushing a bit as he felt the hard-on he still had.

Clink clink tap clink

The sound of squawking echoed in the room as the sounds of feathers ruffled within a massive cage. Chuckling a bit despite his dream interruption, the teen sat up and looked over at the huge birdcage against his wall. A blue macaw squawked in annoyance as he constantly hit his beak against the cage's door. Chuckling a bit, the teen slid out of his bed, glad his pajamas were a bit too big on him, before walking over to the cage.

"Morning Sky." The teen smiled as he opened the cage door.

Sky fluffed his feathers as he climbed onto the teen's hand. Once he was out of the cage, he stretched his wings and shook a bit before climbing onto his shoulder. The teen smiled as he gently pets his head, walking over to a small plastic tub filled with parrot food.

"Thomas, time for breakfast!" A female voice called out from outside his room.

"Alright, Rosie!" Thomas happily called out as he refilled Sky's food and water bowl.

My name is Thomas Hill.

Sky squawked happily as he climbed down his head before climbing down his arm. Thomas smiled as he gently put Sky onto his perch before walking over towards his bathroom.

I'm a 15-year-old student at Sodor High and I drive the number 1 engine on Sir Topham Hatt's railway.

Walking into his bathroom, Thomas blushed as he remembered the 'problem' that was under his pajama pants. Biting his lip, he stripped out of his pajamas and turned his shower on. He already knew about sex thanks to school and his siblings, but he was too shy to talk to them about it. Stepping into the shower, he shivered as the cold water hit his skin, feeling himself calm down. In general, he always enjoyed cold showers when he woke up. It made him feel more awake. Rubbing shampoo into his hair, he opened his eyes a bit as he stared at the shower wall. He felt embarrassed for having a dream like that but yet, he wished that it was real. Being within the warm arms of the other male in his dream was comforting, making him feel safe and secure. Shaking his head, he quickly rinsed his hair out before stepping out of the shower.

Grabbing a towel, Thomas quickly towel dried himself before entering his room once again. Sky had finished his breakfast and was happily cleaning his wings before ruffling his feathers. Thomas smiled at the macaw as he walked over to his closet, grabbing his school uniform. It consisted of black pants, a white dress shirt, a black blazer with red trims around the cuffs of the sleeves, pockets, and the rim of the jacket with two gold buttons near the bottom, and a red tie. At first, Thomas thought it was strange for a school uniform to be like that but he became used to it. After putting his school uniform on, he walked over to his bed and grabbed his camera.

"Come on, Sky." Thomas smiled as he let the macaw climb onto his hand. "Let's go downstairs." He hummed softly as he put the bird onto his shoulder.

Sky squawked happily as he gently kissed his cheek, ruffling his feathers. Thomas giggled softly as he left his room, opening his phone. Clicking on the TikTok app, he scrolled until he found the user he was following. His eyes sparkled and a wide smile appeared on his face as he saw the new video they uploaded. He quickly pressed his thumb against it and watched the video as he walked down the stairs. A boa constrictor appeared in the video, flicking his tongue at the camera.

"So this noodle decided it would be a smart idea to eat three large mice in one meal."

"Hissssssss."

"I fed you earlier this morning. Those were for the new snakes."

"Hisssssssss."

"Don't come hissing to me if you get a stomach ache later on."

Thomas giggled as he watched the video, enjoying the relationship the user had with the snake. Soon, he watched as a giant garter snake raised its head from behind the boa, the tail from a tadpole sticking out of his mouth.

"See Viper? Flame is sticking to the amount he's been given."

"Hissssssss."

Thomas smiled as he watched the smaller snake swallow the rest of the tadpole, flicking his tongue at the camera.

"Morning, Thomas." A gruff voice huffed from behind him.

"Morning, Gordon!" Thomas said cheerfully, looking at his second older brother.

Gordon grumbled as he tied his tie, his light brown hair sticking up a bit. He was easily taller than Thomas and more muscular. He wore light blue pants, a white button-up shirt, and a light blue jacket with red trimmings with a golden 4 pin on it. His hair was slightly darker than Thomas' but his eyes were the same sapphire color. His jacket was unbuttoned as the top button of his shirt was undone, showing off a part of his chest. The sleeves of both his jacket and shirt were rolled up just past his elbows.

I live in Tidmouth, Sodor with my three siblings, my macaw, and our husky. I have a fourth sibling but he's busy working on the Mainland. This is my third oldest sibling but my second older brother. My fourth sibling is actually Gordon's twin named Scot. Though he is well known as The Flying Scotsman, much to Gordon's annoyance.

"Damn tie...I'm going to be late pulling the Express…" Gordon grumbled as he walked towards the kitchen, still trying to tie his tie.

Like myself, Gordon also works on Sir Topham Hatt's railway pulling the Express. That is his primary job and because of that, he is very boastful. And I mean VERY boastful. He drives Sodor's number 4 tender engine and he is proud of it.

"Here." Rosie giggled as she walked up to Gordon, tying his tie for him.

"Thank you." Gordon muttered as he looked away, blushing a bit from embarrassment as he hugged her back.

That is my second oldest sibling and only sister, Rosie. She is very kind and, like Gordon and I, works on Sodor's railway in a lavender tank engine. Unlike Gordon, her engine doesn't come with a number.

"You're pancakes are on the table, little brother." Rosie giggled as she gently hugged Thomas, petting Sky's head.

Her lavender hair was done up in a ponytail, the bottom of it just going past her bottom. Her work uniform consisted of lavender pants, a white button blouse, and a lavender jacket. Like Gordon's jacket, her's were covered in red trimmings. Humming softly, she gently runs her fingers through Thomas' hair before fixing it.

"Rosieeeee." Thomas whined as he let his sister fix his hair.

"I already called the others and told them their jobs, Sir." A male with light blue hair and sapphire eyes hummed as he walked into the hallway.

He wore an identical outfit that Gordon wore, but his white shirt and blue jacket were completely buttoned up and had a golden 2 pin attached to it. He wore white gloves and black dressed shoes as he held a file in his hands. His face is warm and kind, giving off a calm aura as he put down a pair of reading glasses.

That is my oldest sibling and oldest brother, Edward. He is always so calm and can easily put up with Gordon's teasing and boasting. He has never yelled at anyone and is very understanding. When I started working on the railway, he mentored me on how to shunt the trucks in Knapford yard. He drives Sodor's number 2 tender engine and is also training to take Sir Topham Hatt's place as Controller when he retires.

"Yes, Sir. I'll be over when I finish my jobs." Edward smiled as he put the file next to his reading glasses. "Goodbye, Sir." He said before hanging up. "Morning, everyone." He smiled as he walked over to them.

"Morning, Edward!" Thomas said happily as he jogged over to him, gently hugging him.

"Morning." Sky squawked as he climbed onto Edward's left shoulder.

Edward chuckled softly as he gently hugged Thomas back, gently petting Sky as well. "Go eat Thomas for I can take you to school."

With Edward being the first person Sir Topham Hatt hired when he took over a few years ago, he soon hired others that were like Edward, more along the lines of working on the railway and respecting the people of Sodor. We eventually became known as the Steam Team. Originally it was just Edward, Gordon and a third person named Henry. From what I remember, those three were the only ones who had big and strong engines to help build up the railway. Now, there are a total of twenty of us who are part of the Steam Team.

"Come on, Ace." Gordon called out as he walked into the kitchen.

Tap tap tap tap tap

The sounds of nails hitting the hardwood floor echoed in the hallway as a husky trotted out of Gordon's room. His fur color resembles a grey wolf with beautiful blue eyes and fluffy. His tail was curled up in happiness as he followed the muscular male into the kitchen. Thomas giggled softly as he let Edward go, following his other brother into the kitchen. Sitting at the table, his smile grew wider as he looked at the chocolate chip pancakes in front of him with a glass of chocolate milk. Pouring syrup over the pancakes, Thomas happily started to eat as he watched Gordon feed Ace before putting his white gloves on.

"Taking Ace with you?" Thomas asked as he continued to eat.

"No." Gordon hummed as he poured coffee into a traveling mug. "Daisy is stopping by to drop Pebble off for a playdate with him."

"Bark bark bark!" Ace yowled happily, licking his lips from eating. His tail wagged hard as he started to do his normal husky howls.

"Yes, yes." Gordon chuckled as he gently patted his head. "Alright, I'm leaving now. The Express won't move without me." He said proudly, causing him to roll his eyes playfully. Walking over to the smaller teen, he gently kissed his head before leaving. "Have a good day at school."

"Don't argue with Spencer if you see him!" Thomas smirked as he called out to him.

"That no-good Spencer always causes the fights first!" Gordon huffed in annoyance as he left through the door.

"Almost ready, Thomas?" Edward asked as he walked into the kitchen, Rosie following after him.

"Mhm!" Thomas excitedly hummed as he carried his plate and cup to the sink.

Rosie smiled as she hugged Thomas from behind, kissing his cheek. "Have a great day and I'll see you tonight."

"Isn't your date with Millie tonight?" Thomas asked as he turned around in her arms, nuzzling against her.

"It is." Rosie giggled softly, a soft blush decorating her cheeks. "Just to the movies and dinner."

"I hope you have fun." Thomas smiled brightly as he looked up at her.

"You are just the sweetest!" Rosie giggled as she hugged him closer.

Edward hummed softly as he slowed his engine to a stop a few feet away from Sodor High, Thomas happily looking out of the cab. The school was massive with three floors and in the shape of a U with the center cut out. A cobblestone pathway leads up to the school's main entrance as fully bloomed sakura trees lined up against the path. Other students were chatting amongst each other, some in small groups as they all walked up towards the school. They all wore the same uniform as Thomas, though the females wore skirts instead of pants and knee-high black socks. Looking at the groups, Thomas could see who is comfortable hanging out with who. The bullies are huddled together, the Drama club members, the sports club, etc. but he also could see how members of those groups were chatting with thoughts who weren't in a group. Sliding the cab door open, Thomas happily climbed out with Edward following.

"I'll be a bit late coming home tonight." Edward pointed out as he fixes Thomas' uniform. "Sir Topham Hatt has some files he wants me to go through."

"It's alright." Thomas giggled as he looked up at him. "I know how important it is."

Edward smiled as he gently kissed his head, hugging him close.

"Hey Thomas, Edward!"

Both brothers turned their heads to look at the source of the voice. A teen around 17 years of age was running towards them. He was wearing the same uniform as Thomas and his smile was bright. His curling blonde hair shines like gold and his emerald eyes sparkled with life and happiness. Behind him was an older male wearing a work suit like Edward's but it was an apple-green color with a golden 3 pin attached to it. His silver reached the top of his shoulders and his eyes also shined like emeralds. Walking next to them was a golden retriever with a service dog harness around him. The older male held the leash as the retriever wagged his tail happily as he sniffed around.

"Morning Percy, Henry!" Thomas said happily as he ran over to his best friend, hugging him.

"Morning, Greens." Edward smiled warmly as he walked over to the taller male, gently kissing him.

"Hey, love." Henry smiled as he gently kissed back, wrapping an arm around him.

This is Henry and Percy Green and their dog, Lucky. They are part of the Steam Team as they both work on the railway. Percy is 17 but is still my best friend ever since we met. Henry is a worrier and, when he first arrived, was kind of acting like Gordon as he tried to fit in. I mean, his body shape is almost the same as Gordon's and he's a year younger than him. His engine almost looks identical to Gordon's for I think he said something about it being made from stolen blueprints of Gordon's engine. Though I'm not sure. Anyway, it came to a shocker when Henry asked Edward out and Edward agreed. I know some people think Edward is the 'dominate' one out of the two but actually, Henry is instead. This is another reason why I love Sodor. They were completely open and welcome to those who are gay, bi, transgender, or from a different race.

Lucky barked happily as he stood up on his hind legs, putting his front paws against Edward's chest.

"And good morning to you as well, Lucky." Edward smiled as he gently pets the retriever, rubbing his ears.

Even though Lucky wears a service dog vest, he really isn't a certified one. You see, with Henry being a worrier, he would have small panic attacks while working on the railway. So Percy taught Lucky that when he's wearing the harness, he would need to be calm and relaxed. But when the harness is off, he is very energetic, happy, and very playful. He also has a strange obsession with popcorn.

"Do you want to meet up for lunch?" Henry asked as he looked down at Edward, blushing softly.

"I would love to." Edward smiled as he looked up at his emerald lover, gently pushing Lucky off of him.

"We'll be leaving now." Percy giggled as he hugged Henry.

"Be safe you two." Henry chuckled as he gently hugged his brother back.

"We will!" Thomas said happily before he and Percy walked down the path.

"So Thomas, did you see his latest Instagram pic?" Percy teased as he gently poked the other teen's cheek.

"S-Shut up!" Thomas complained, his face during red. "I did and I don't want to mention it for I don't want...something to happen…" He muttered under his breath, looking down as his face turned redder.

"It's so cute to see you blushing like this over him~" Percy giggled as he wrapped his arm around his shoulder.

"Shtapppp." Thomas whined as he covered his red face with his hands.

Call it fangirling or fascination, but I have a crush on this person who is in the Top 5 famous social media users. Having an account on Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, Twitch, Twitter, Deviantart, and Etsy, he's become successful with his skills. When I first saw his Youtube page, I was in a dark place in my life and his videos helped me. To me, it felt like some of his videos were directed at me in order to help me. And they did, along with me developing a crush on him. He started out just doing videos of his two snakes, Viper and Flame. Then made videos on rescuing snakes and rehabilitating them. Then he started doing videos of him playing the guitar, then music videos.

"Yoink." Percy giggled as he gently took Thomas' smartphone, turning the screen on.

"Give it backkkk!" Thomas complained, trying to grab his phone back.

"Newest artwork he did?" Percy smirked as he showed him the screen, revealing a detailed sketch of an ice dragon.

"It is and he posted it last night." Thomas smiled slightly, still blushing as he gently took his phone back.

Soon, he started to do amazing artwork on Deviantart. From realistic animals and mythical creatures to video game and anime characters. He started commission and I won't lie, he did a few for me that I have hanging in my room. Worth it. When he started to do video game streams, that's when my crush developed into something more. He was muscular than me but not as much as Gordon. He was 17 years old like Percy and his ruby eyes burned with passion, pride, and warmth. His black hair with red streaks in it when down to the base of his neck. That was when I was hooked and started following him on every account he has. It may sound like I'm being a stalker but I'm not.

"I find it funny." Percy hummed as he and Thomas walked over to their lockers, twisting the knob on his lock.

"Find what funny?" Thomas asked as took the lock off, opening his locker door as he put his books in.

"That you have a crush on this guy but never fully talked to him before." Percy said as he looked at him, switching his books out.

"That's because I get too nervous around him and besides…" Thomas trailed off as he looked down. "He probably has better people admitting their love to him." He sighed sadly as he put his backpack down. "I can't compete with that…"

"James!"

Thomas froze as the female voice squealed in the hallway, causing him to look over as his face turned red again. Walking into the school was a tall teen with black hair and red streaks. Wearing the same outfit as Thomas, it suited well since it matched his hair. The jacket was open and the top button of his white shirt was off with the red tie hanging loosely around his neck. Holding his red bag over his shirt, he walked into the hall, smirking as the male and female students who looked at him in amazement. Three small hoop earrings on each ear and a silver Asain dragon choker was snug around his neck. Licking his lips a bit, Thomas could see the silver ball of his tongue piercing glisten in the light. Thomas quickly turned his head, staring into the locker as James stood next to him. Taking a small glance at him, Thomas watched how James was too focused on his locker to notice him, feeling butterflies in his stomach. Thomas continued to watch as James quickly switched his books out and closed his locker, putting the lock back on before leaving. The strong scent of cinnamon and spice filling his nose as his memory replays the scent in his mind.

That was James Noble. Sodor High's captain of the soccer team and one of the strongest students here, the other two being Stanley Claire and Emily Lavon. He has an older brother named Hiro who is currently dating Spencer Claire, my cousin. The two had moved to Sodor from Japan last year and have made their way into joining the Steam Team. Hiro's engine has the number 51 and James' engine has the number 5.

"Finally made it, huh?" Duncan, a male student with dirty blonde hair and amber eyes smirked as he looked at his friend and teammate.

"Shut up." James huffed, though the smirk on his face remained. "I was busy dealing with a sick reptile since he ate too much."

Thomas continued to stare at James, his cheeks a soft pink as a loving smile appeared on his face. Percy looked between the two and smirked as he teasingly nudged Thomas' side. Thomas' blush became darker again as he glared at his friend, though he knew what he meant. Looking at the time, Thomas looked back at the older teen again before following Percy towards their class.

Remember the famous social media user I was just talking about? Yeah, that was him. James Noble. AKA, FireSnakeJ on his social media accounts. The person I developed feelings for moved to Sodor, joined the Steam Team, attends my school, and his locker is right next to MINE. The person I've been dreaming and fantasizing about is literally with me almost every single day and I can't even talk to him like normal. Sure I've talked to him about work stuff when we're on the railway working but I have to be looking anywhere but at him. At school, I'm practically invisible to him and I'm kinda sad and happy at the same time.

Thomas sighed as he opened his phone up, looking at the calendar to see when the school ends.

This is going to be a long school year for me.
