Chapter 14

They sat for a few hours, some took small power naps, others just hydrated and talked.

Newt and Thomas ended up taking a nap, Thomas was of course, Newt's pillow and his arms were also his blanket.

Thomas didn't sleep though. He looked up at the sky while holding this beautiful boy in his arms.

His mind flashed back to his first few weeks in the maze. He smiled at the thought, he was lonely. Nobody wanted o be his friend but Chuck. Of course everyone was nice... Except for Gally. Newt was nice.

Thomas smiled as he thought about it. He remembered blocking out his feelings for Newt in fear that they wouldn't be reciprocated. His constant denial for his feelings until that one day. The day Thomas ran out into the maze for Alby.

He knew he wasn't allowed to go. He knew it was against the rules. He knew it. But when he saw the look. The pain and sadness noticeable on Newt's face, he knew he had to do something. So he did what he thought was the right thing, and ran out into the maze.

Minho told him he was an idiot. Alby could barely breathe he was in such a horrible state.

He knew everyone would probably be mad at him for this. But if he could make it through the night maybe he'd have more friends than just a 14 year old kid.

He didn't even know how deep he had fallen for Newt by then. But the next day when he got back from the maze a surge of relief washed over him when he wasn't angry and he saw those eyes that brought him peace. Then he didn't know why. But he felt like he deserved attention from Newt. He needed attention from Newt. The feeling he got whenever he looked at this blond hair and brown eyes made something stir inside him. Whenever he'd lay sleepless in the night he'd just think of those perfect pink, plump lips. He'd imagine them on his own and it would drive him crazy. He hadn't even acknowledged that they were both boys. He just knew he needed him to be his.

Then when Gally attacked him, Newt came to his rescue, but instead of thanking him, he avoided him, because then he knew his feelings would be too real. Until he brought him to the forest and they made out. And all his restrictions and thoughts were confirmed. He was crazy about this beautiful boy he had sleeping on him right now.

He smiled remembering this stuff, their first kiss - which was pretty intense. Their first time - which was incredible. Their first "I love you's". Everything. Everything about Newt drove Thomas crazy, and God he loved it.

So now Thomas lays here thinking: if I love you and need you so much, why was I angry about your jealousy?

But the answer came to him in a matter of seconds: it makes you seem like somebody else. But I only love you.

He smiled to himself and went to kiss Newt's forehead as he slept, but those beautiful brown eyes were staring up at him.

"Why are you so smiley?" Newt said in a raspy, sleepy but amused voice.

God that's sexy. "I'm thinking about the Maze is all." Thomas answered. "How long have you been awake?"

Newt shrugged and buried himself deeper into Thomas' chest. "Dunno" he mumbled.

Thomas chuckled. "Alright" he mumbled and ran his fingers up and down his boyfriends back.

Newt moved his body closer to Thomas and yawned. "Why do people say naps are refreshing? They're torture" he muttered.

Thomas grinned and nodded. "that's exactly why I didn't take one" he answered.

"Smart ass" Newt sighed sleepily.

"You love it" Thomas grinned.

Newt smiled and looked up at Thomas' face. "So true" he whispered, leaning in closer to kiss him, which Thomas gladly reciprocated.

Newt climbed up on Thomas and straddled him as they kissed.

Thomas' hands went up Newt's shirt and on his chest.

Newt pilled their lips apart and went to kiss Thomas' neck "God I wish we were alone right now" Newt whispered and his hips ground against Thomas' and his mouth left love bites on his boyfriends neck.

"Me too" Thomas hummed and pulled his lover closer.

They broke apart for breath after a while and smirked at one another.

A few minutes later Jorge made everyone get up. "We are leaving again in 5" he said.

Thomas had a bit more water, then put it back in his backpack.

Newt smiled and stood up.

Aris came over to them and rubbed he back of his neck. "Hey" he said, looking at them and smiling.

"Hiya" Newt smiled.

"Can I ask you something?" He said looking at Newt.

"Me? Yeah sure." He smiled, walking over to Stand beside Thomas.

"Is um... Is Minho uh.. Is he only interested in girls or..?" Aris blushed.

Thomas laughed.

Newt blushed for Aris and shrugged. "Never asked" he said.

"Oh.. Right. Okay" he nodded, biting his lip.

"Go talk to him" Newt suggested.

"Oh I.. I don't. He's um. He's happy with her. Right? So like. I don't wanna spoil that" he nodded at himself.

"That doesn't mean you can't still be friends with him" Thomas smiled.

Aris looked at Thomas and bit his lip, shrugging.

"Is this why you've been so quiet since we got out? You like him that much?" Thomas asked.

Aris blushed bright pink and nodded slowly.

"Trust me. I know the feeling" he answered, pulling Newt towards him, who blushed crazily and smiled up at him. "But talk to him. It'll feel better to have some kind of relationship with him than none at all. You know?" Thomas smiled.

Aris nodded a bit, was about to start heading towards Minho, then turned around. "What if he hates me?"

"Why on earth would he hate you?" Newt asked.

"Because I'm not one of you guys. I'm not a 'Glader' and I'm not exactly what people would consider to be 'attractive' or 'fit'. For god sakes he's a runner. I can't even walk without getting out of breath, what if he hates me because I'm not fit enough ?" Aris rambled.

"Done yet?" Thomas asked.

Aris shrugged.

"You're charismatic, nice, you're cute. Right Tommy? He's cute."

Thomas nodded in agreement with Newt. "Plus. He's friends with me. I can barely walk properly because of my limp, but he doesn't hate me. Go." Newt ushered him away.

Aris hesitated and then took a breath and walked towards Minho.

Thomas and Newt watched for a bit, Aris' charismatic charm was working, he was making Minho laugh.

Few minutes later they were off. Teresa was walking with Brenda, so Aris stuck with Minho, Jorge in the front with Frypan and Newt and Thomas in the back, hand in hand, laughing at each other's stupid jokes.

Sorry I forgot Aris for a while.

But he's back!

Also. Do any of you know Troye Sivan? Because his new album kills me.

And also, I ship him with Connor franta. I'm not even sorry.
