Newt woke up the next morning in Thomas' arms. His boyfriend was still asleep and he woke him up with a kiss. "Morning, sleepyhead," Newt said, grinning at him.
Thomas smiled back. "Morning." He kissed Newt again, wrapping his arms around the blond's waist. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Newt mumbled against Thomas' mouth. "I love you so much." Their kiss deepened and became more passionate. Thomas groaned into the kiss, holding Newt tightly against him. Thomas rolled over so that he was on top of Newt, pinning him down to the bed. "Hey! What makes you think you can be on top, shuck-face?"
"The fact that I'm stronger than you," Thomas declared, pinning Newt's arms to the bed.
"Oh, no you DIDN'T." Newt proceeded to wrestle playfully with Thomas, trying to prove - in vain - that, yes, he most definitely was stronger than Thomas, except obviously he wasn't because Thomas was currently pinning him to the bed.
Thomas kissed him deeply, enough to make Newt's heart almost burst with love. He released his hold on Newt and smiled at him, leaning on for another kiss - until Newt had him pinned in an instant.
"Never learn your lesson, do you?" Newt said tauntingly.
Thomas kissed him again. "You don't shut up, do you," he teased, and Newt smacked him playfully on the head as they kissed. They didn't fall asleep until late that night because they were so busy joking around and laughing and kissing and cuddling. As Newt fell asleep, Thomas held him in his arms, and the last thing he remembered before he drifted off was his boyfriend's lips on his hair.
As Newt ate breakfast the next morning, he seat a text to Minho. U awake? he wrote.
Yep, Minho's text said when it came in not a minute later. Morning.
From: Newt
Please come to our lesson today. I leave the day after tomorrow and I want to spend as much time with you as possible before I leave.
From: Minho
And you say you don't want me. ;) Could've fooled me.
Newt stifled a laugh at Minho's response. When he did, he felt like he was betraying Thomas, although he didn't see how he was. He and Minho were just friends. Friends laughed together.
From: Newt
Promise me you'll come today.
Then, after he sent that one, he typed in one more text.
From: Newt
I miss you.
He hesitsted with his finger over the SEND button, then pressed it. He felt way too nervous than he should have when he got Minho's reply.
From: Minho
I miss you, too. And I promise I'll come today. I don't want you to leave. :(
Newt felt a rush of sadness. It must've showed on his face because Thomas squeezed his hand and said, "Hey, babe, you okay?"
The blond forced himself to smile. "I'm fine," he lied, though his boyfriend didn't seem convinced.
Thomas kissed him softly and Newt rested his head on his shoulder, nuzzling him in front of his family, though they didn't mind and Mikayla "awwww"ed. Newt was grateful for his presence, and it helped make him feel less sad to leave this place behind. He could always visit Minho here. It wasn't that far away. Maybe he could even visit often. The thought made him smile.
When he met Minho by the lift, Newt found himself being pulled into a tight hug. "I'll miss you so much," Minho said, his voice muffled by Newt's shoulder. "Don't go."
Newt tightened his arms around him. "I have to go home eventually," he chuckled.
"Sure, after forever ends," Minho said. Newt couldn't help thinking how sweet that was as they pulled away from each other. "Newt, I love you."
Newt froze. "What?"
"I love you," Minho repeated, taking Newt's hands in his. "I tried not to, but I couldn't help it. I know you don't feel the same, but I had to tell you in person before you left."
Newt's heart broke. Tears filled his eyes and he tried to choke out words, but he didn't know what to say. He hugged Minho again and they stood like that for a long time, ignoring all the people around them. Newt snuggled into Minho, longing to kiss him but knowing he couldn't risk his and Thomas relationship yet again.
They got on the ski lift and Newt felt like he was already saying goodbye, even though he had a day and a half to spend with Minho - well, not technically. They wouldn't be spending every second of it together. That would certainly piss Thomas off, and they would probably fight again. "I want to kiss you," Newt announced as they were lifted into the air.
"Go right ahead." Minho flashed him a sexy grin that Newt couldn't help but be attracted to. Tommy would most definitely not be happy.
Newt laughed. "No, I mean, I want to but I can't." He met Minho's gaze. "Thomas would never forgive me if I kissed you again. But after that last one, I really want to." He remembered the feeling of Minho's warm, soft lips on his, their bodies pressed closely together...
Boyfriend! Newt internally scolded himself. He already felt bad enough about his feelings for Minho, he had to at least try not to daydream about a guy who wasn't his boyfriend. "I want you to know that I love you, too." Newt reached for Minho's hand and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. "But I can't act on my feelings. You have to know that. I can't risk losing Thomas. I love him, too."
Minho nodded and smiled at him, making Newt's heart melt. "I understand," he said, squeezing Newt's hand. "Thomas is a lucky guy."
Newt blushed as they got off the ski lift, and Newt's heart lifted when he saw Thomas at the top of the hill, getting ready to go down. The blond snuck up behind his boyfriend and wrapped his arms around Tommy's waist, burying his face in the brown-haired boy's neck. "Why do you always have to be so bloody warm?" Newt complained. He was freezing.
He felt Thomas jump. "Nice to see you," he said. "Ya know, would've been nicer if I could actually see you - scared the hell out of me and I almost went down the hill with you in tow."
Newt laughed as Thomas kissed him. "Good thing you didn't." He kissed him again, deeper this time, completely oblivious to the fact that there were people around. Newt never really understood public displays of affection, but now he did. When he kissed Thomas, he felt as though they were the only ones in the world.
Minho approached them and reminded Newt that there were other people in the world. "Hey," he said as the atmosphere became more awkward. "Congratulations on your relationship. I was just telling Newt what a lucky guy you are."
"I heard," Tommy replied, his voice as cold as the weather, He wrapped a protective arm around Newt's waist. The blond sighed, wishing the two boys he loved would get along, but knowing that after all that had happened, the odds were against it. "Especially when you kissed my boyfriend."
"Tommy," Newt protested. "Please. For me."
But Thomas wouldn't listen. "He's mine," Newt's boyfriend growled, holding Newt tighter against him.
"Thomas!"
Still, Thomas ignored Newt. "Hey, I get it, man," Minho said, holding up his hands in surrender.
"I'm so sorry, Minho," Newt apologized. "And I'm sure Thomas is, too." He glared at his boyfriend.
"Really not," Thomas declared.
"I'll talk to you later," Newt said, apologizing again with a glance in Minho's direction. Minho nodded and left him alone with Thomas.
Anger filled Newt, though he felt too tired to fight. "I really don't want to fight with you again, Tommy," Newt sighed.
Thomas nodded. "I agree," he said. "I didn't think our relationship would be like this. I want to be happy with you, but if we fight more than we're happy together..."
Newt's blood went cold. "What are you saying?" he asked, tears filling his eyes. "Are you...Are you breaking up with me?"
"No!" Thomas looked horrified and he pulled Newt into a tight hug. "Of course not! I'm saying we should see a therapist when we get home or something. Someone to help us be happier." He pulled back, and Newt's heart lurched when he saw tears in his boyfriend's eyes. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Newt kissed him slowly, pulling his Tommy tighter against him.
"Newt..." Thomas pulled back, and Newt was surprised to see him blushing. "I want you. Right now."
Newt felt his face heating up, too. Taken by complete surprise, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely sure," Thomas said, holding Newt's hands in his.
Newt smiled. "Tonight," he said. "We only have a day and a half left here. We should enjoy our time on the slopes while we can."
"Okay." Thomas smiled and kissed him. "Tonight." And, with that, they went down the hill together.
