A/N: I don't know if I said this already but thank you for the reviews, they really do keep me going. Also as a professional procrastinator I am procrastinating writing the note for as long as possible because I feel like I'm not so great at writing stuff like that. I apologize if this chapter seems rushed.
Really? Where the fuck are all the notebooks. I am so not gonna write this on a pad of paper or post it notes. Nope. I will write him a fucking letter. With actual paper. Not post it notes. If I find a notebook that is. Minho rifled through a narrow hall closet. As he shifts things around looking for a note book he accidentally knocked plenty of items onto the floor. Well fuck. His hand brushed over the cover of a book of some sort while he was grasping around the dark shelf. Please please please please pleeeeease be a notebook. Minho felt a wave of relief relax over his body as he held the blue spiral notebook in his hands. Thank friggen god. After he replaces everything in it's proper place in the closet he takes the notebook with him to his room.
When he sits on his bed with a pen in hand and the note book open in front of him, he begins to brainstorm.
Newt,
I love you
Nope. Nope times ten thousand.
Dear Newt,
Definitely no.
Minho thought for awhile. I want to tell him I'm sorry I didn't tell him I feel the same way and stuff. And that I let him leave. Ugh. Why can't I just write that? Cause I'm lame that's why.
After a very long hour of thinking and doodling, Minho was finally finished. he folded up his note and tucked it in his back pocket and then headed down stairs. He had every intention of immediately putting the note in Newt's bag by the front door, but of course he got distracted. Thomas and Teresa were going head to head at Mario Kart. He just had to join. So after a few rounds Teresa asks him if he put the note in the bag. Distracted and not wanting to get up, he said yup. When the tournament they were playing ends Teresa pops uo from the couch. "Well I'm going to dropthis off so you guys can play with outme for awhile, but when I come back I will destroy you two."
Both boys go back to playing wii.
"Mmhm. Okay, we'll see about that."
"Bye Teresa."
Newt opens Alby's door to find Teresa smiling at him and holding his bag. "Hey there Newt." She hands the small duffel over to Newt. "Yo Teresa! Come on in," Alby hollers from the kitchen. "Nah. I'd love to but I gotta get home and kick some ass at Mario Kart." With that, they say goodbye and she leaves.
Newt sits down at the kitchen counter across from Alby where he is making salsa. "So what now?"
Alby looks up and smiles. "Are you caught up on Humans?"
"No."
"Then let the binge watch begin! After I finish making salsa, though."
About an hour after Teresa dropped his stuff off Newt's phone rings. Eagerly, Alby leans over from his spot to read the caller ID on the phone from where it sits on the coffee table. "Dudeee it's Thomas."
Newt picks up the phone. "Ugh what does that shank want now? He probably lit something on fire again." Newt holds his cellphone up to his ear. "Hey tommy."
"Newt?"
Newt freezes with the phone up to his ear. What the fuck. Why the fuck is he calling me on Thomas's cell? His voice comes out in a stutter. "Y- yeah?"
He hears some mumbling in the background then Minho taking a breath. "How are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm with Alby right now. How are you?"
"I'm good, I'm good."
Silence
"Newt listen, I'm-"
"No, Minho, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have said anything."
"Don't apologize. You don't need to apologize."
"Yes, I do. I feel like I just fucked everything up between us. And for that, I am sorry."
"Stop. Please, just stop. It's my fault. I fucked up, Newt. I should have- wait did you get the note?"
"What note?" Newt looks back at Alby who sends him a curious look. Newt shrugs in response.
He hears Minho sigh again. "It's in one of the front pockets of your bag. Just- just read it I guess. And then if you want to then uh call me back."
"Um alright. I will do that."
After an awkward goodbye they both hang up. "So what was that about," Alby asks. He sits on the couch turned away from the paused tv to look at Newt who stands behind him. "Minho was asking if I read the note he left in my bag."
"Did you?"
Newt flops back down on to the couch and Presses play on the remote. "Nah, I didn't even see it."
Ably grabs the remote back and pauses it. "Well go read it you, dumb shank."
Newt rolls his eyes and gets off the couch. "Fine. You can watch this episode while I'm looking for the thing, I've already seen it."
"Asshole. Watch this show together."
Newt walks over to where he threw his bag at the end of the couch and searched it. "Not my fault the show ended on a cliff hanger." Newt searches the front two pockets where Minho said the note would be. Infact, he searched his whole bag. Twice. There was no note to be found.
"Goddamit Leo! Oh, hey did you read it yet?"
"Its not in here." Newt shoots a quick text to Minho, i didnt find any note.
Minho feels his phone buzz in his pocket. He reads the text from Newt and puts his hand in his back pocket. Sure enough, the note is still there. Crap.
