Xx The Genius Xx: Thank you! And here is an update for you now :) Hope you like it!


Newt didn't want to leave his boyfriend that morning, but after breakfast he had lessons with Minho. He gave Thomas a lingering kiss and said, "I'll see you later," before kissing him again and going to meet Minho by the ski left. "Hey," he greeted his instructor and friend.

Minho smiled. "Hey," he said.

Newt felt a rush of boldness and said, "Hey, Min? I think I want to try going over that jump." He pointed to the tunnel that had a small jump in it.

The Asian boy looked impressed. "You sure?" he asked.

"I'm sure," answered Newt, though he felt nervous.

"Oh, and Newt?" Minho said as they got on the lift.

"Hmm?"

"I like the nickname," Minho said, smiling.

Newt felt himself blushing as they sat down on the bench and were lifted up into the air. Then he thought, Why am I blushing? I have a boyfriend. And then he thought about the other day when he thought Minho might like him as more than a friend. "Can I ask you something?" Newt asked hesitantly.

"Sure." Minho grinned at him.

"Do you like me? I mean, as more than a friend?" Newt asked.

Minho sighed, a defeated look in his eyes. "Yes," he answered, "I do. I wasn't going to tell you, but it seems you figured it out yourself."

Newt was surprised even though he'd suspected it. "Minho, I'm flattered, but actually Thomas and I are together," he said.

Now it was Minho's turn to be surprised. "Really?" He looked disappointed. "I'm...happy for you."

The blond sighed, knowing he'd made his friend unhappy. "I'm sorry," he said. "You're a great guy. You'll find someone."

"Yeah, I know," Minho said. "I just...thought that someone would be you."

Newt blushed as he remembered his crush on Minho. He bit back a confession, that he actually liked Minho, because he had Thomas. The last thing he wanted was to hurt Thomas, especially not after they had just gotten back together. He knew he loved Thomas and had never been more certain of anything in his life.

They got off the lift then and headed over to the jump. Newt was not looking forward to it, but he wanted to be brave. Holding his breath, he went through the jump and Minho offered him a huge smile. "You did it! I knew you could do it!" he exclaimed. He pulled Newt into his arms and hugged him, and Newt was surprised at the happiness he felt. Newt lifted his face and smiled back at Minho.

Newt wasn't sure how it happened, but suddenly they were kissing. Minho held Newt's face in his and deepened the kiss, sending tingles of pleasure through the blond. And then Newt remembered - Thomas.

He pulled away, both of them gasping for breath. "I - I can't do this, Min," he said. "I'm sorry. I - I shouldn't have-"

"Right," said Minho. "Your boyfriend."

Newt felt his eyes filling with tears. "I'm sorry," he repeated again, and then went down the rest of the hill alone, ashamed at himself. He knew he needed to find Thomas and tell him what happened. He sniffled and wiped his eyes with his gloved fingers as he pushed himself forward, searching the crowd for Thomas.

He found him snowboarding down the hill he was just passing. "Hey, Newt!" he called cheerfully. Newt's heart broke and then Thomas realized that Newt was crying as he approached him. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"I - I kissed Minho," Newt confessed. "I'm so sorry, Thomas. I didn't mean it-"

Thomas' expression hardened. "You kissed Minho?"

"I regret it!" Newt raised his voice and several people stared. "All right?"

"No, it's not all right." Thomas looked like he was going to cry. "We haven't even been together for a full day, and you cheat on me?"

"I-"

"No, don't 'I' me, Newt," Thomas scoffed. Newt's throat felt tight with tears. "You chose a guy you've known for days, over your best friend who you've known since kindergarten?"

"Please, Tommy," Newt begged, knowing he was acting like a child.

Thomas shook his head. "You need to choose, Newt," he said. "Until then, I'm done."

"Thomas, don't-" Newt started, but Thomas snowboarded away from his boyfriend, leaving the blond alone.


For the remainder of the day, Newt skied with his parents and Mikayla. Newt knew it was his fault that Thomas was mad at him - again. He had hurt Thomas, when Thomas said that he would never hurt Newt. If Thomas never wanted to talk to him again, Newt could understand. He hoped Thomas would be able to forgive him, though.

Dinner was awkward. Thomas didn't speak to Newt. His family knew that they were fighting again, but they didn't know why. Newt felt so horrible for kissing Minho, even though he had enjoyed the kiss. He remembered how good Minho had felt pressed up against him and...No! Newt couldn't afford to think about Minho like that. He shook the thought from his mind.

After they ate, Thomas immediately went back to his room and locked the door. "Thomas," Newt called from outside. "Please, open up. I'm sorry about earlier, you know I am."

Thomas opened the door and glared at him, arms crossed. "Did you come here to tell me that you've chosen Minho over me?" he asked.

"The opposite, actually," Newt said. "Thomas, I choose you, and I'll choose you every time. I love you so much." Tears of desperation filled his brown eyes when Thomas just stared at him. "I'm so sorry I hurt you. Tommy, I swear I'll never be unfaithful to you again."

His boyfriend's expression softened and he let Newt reach for his hands and stand on his toes to kiss him. Newt sobbed in relief when he felt Thomas wrap his arms around Newt's waist, closing the door behind them with his foot. When they finally broke their kiss, Thomas hugged Newt and they stood there like that for a long time, holding each other. "I'm so sorry," Newt sobbed, soaking Thomas' shirt with his tears. "I love you."

"I know," Thomas mumbled into his hair. "I love you, too."

Newt lifted his head to kiss him and pulled his boyfriend over to their bed. Thomas pulled Newt into his arms and Newt snuggled up against him. "You know..." Newt said after a while of silence, looking up at Thomas. "We can still do a lot without actually having sex."

Thomas blushed deeply and tucked a lock of blonde hair behind Newt's ear. "Yeah? Like what?"

In answer, Newt bent his head to kiss Thomas' neck. He felt his boyfriend shiver underneath him as he blew hot air on his neck. "God, Newt..." he moaned, grabbing Newt's hips. Newt groaned; he loved when Thomas did that. It felt so bloody good.

"I think," Thomas said, "by the end of this trip, you're gonna make me go back on my promise."

"That's kinda what I'm trying for, shuck-face," Newt said seductively, kissing Thomas. Thomas kissed him back, deeply, pulling Newt against him. Newt briefly pulled away to pull Thomas' T-shirt over his head and he ran a hand down Thomas' torso. Thomas moaned, holding Newt tighter against him, their lips locked in a passionate, heated kiss. "Please, Tommy," he begged, looking at Thomas with his best puppy dog eyes.

"Oh, don't do that," Thomas waved a dismissive hand, but Newt wouldn't give up that easily. "Newt, you know it's too soon."

Newt sighed. "I know," he said, snuggling deeper into Thomas' strong embrace. He felt so safe in Thomas' arms, and he loved being there. "Love you."

"Love you, too, shuck." Thomas kissed his hair and Newt sighed happily, falling into a deep sleep.
