"Stop that or I'll bite you!" Thomas scolded, flicking Newt's fingers away from his side when the blonde tried to tickle him. He was trying to draw some graph or stuff for his Physics class and Newt just kept on tickling him.

"Kinky." Newt teased, a smirk forming on his face winking at Thomas.

'If only...' Thomas thought but immediately got rid of it.

It has been a month or so since the first assignment and here they were, hanging out in Thomas' dorm room not because of some stupid assignment Ms. Paige gave them but they just really wanted to. They kept hanging out no matter what time of day, as long as they see each other, they talked. Thomas really liked where they were right now but he just couldn't help his thoughts sometimes when he wonders what it would be like to hold Newt's hands or brush his fingers on his cheeks or...

"So, what are you doing this Saturday?" Newt asked, moving to the empty bed across from Thomas.

"Um, nothing probably. Why?" Thomas responded.

"No reason just, I have nothing to do too so maybe..." Newt got cut off.

"You want to do each other?" Thomas teased the blonde but secretly Thomas genuinely offered hopefully.

"Yeah. Would that be okay?" Newt said as he lit up. Thomas' smile suddenly dropped and his face heated up. Did Newt just said yes to that? WHAT? No. Thomas noticed that he had his mouth open. 'SAY SOMETHING, YOU IDIOT!' Thomas scolded himself but nothing came out.

"Oh, the things I would do only to see you freak out!" Newt said and just laughed like a lunatic and that was Thomas' cue that Newt was just kidding. Bye bye, hopes and dreams. "Seriously, I should take a video of you freaking out and show it to you so that you'll know how adorable you look." Newt said as he trued to calm down.

"Ha-Ha." Thomas laughed sarcastically and returned to his work. Okay, so maybe he wasn't really only curious about Newt, he liked the blonde but he does not know at what level. He liked having him around and it makes his day better but he still doesn't know yet.

"But, no, seriously. Do you want to hang out? I don't want to be alone tomorrow." Newt said.

"Yeah, I mean you're not dull of a companion so why not." Thomas cheered as he finished the graph (thank god)

"Great! You want to go some place or just stay here?" Newt suggested.

"You know, mingling with society would not be bad for us." Thomas teased and Newt threw the pillow he was able to grab at Thomas.

"Yeah yeah. So, tomorrow? Say 1 PM?" Newt said as he laughed and licked his lips involuntarily.

'The things I would do to lick those lips.' HOLY FUCK, THOMAS! STOP!

"Open up, Shank!" Thomas groaned as he was woken up by an obnoxious banging against his door. "It's Minho."

"GO AWAY!" Thomas said, throwing his head back to his pillow.

"I need your help, man!" The boy piped up. Thomas groaned and gazed at his alarm clock. It was 10 AM. He groaned and got of the bed.

"And what do I owe this pleasure?" Thomas said grumpily at the smiling Korean boy in front of him.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, WHOAH!" Minho teased but immediately held his foot to the door as Thomas rolled his eyes and was about to shut him out. "I just need something. It will be quick."

"Fine." Thomas leaned on the door, unimpressed by Minho's good mood.

"Aren't you going to let me inside?"

Thomas shook his head.

"Fair enough."

"Oh my god, what the hell do you want, shuckface?" Thomas yelled, impatiently waiting.

"Okay okay, do you mind if I throw a party tonight?" Minho asked, to Thomas' confusion.

"What?"

"Well, last time I did you got so pissed off so maybe I should ask people first that lives here before I do."

"Yes. You should've done that in the first place." Thomas scolded him.

"So? Is it okay tonight?" Minho asked again.

"Yeah. Yeah, for me anyways. I don't know about the others." Thomas confirmed.

"Cool, you doing something later?" Minho asked and Thomas knew he was only going to force him to attend the party if he said no.

"Yes, hanging out with Newt." Thomas said a matter of factly.

"Newt?"

"Yeah. You know, your ex-best friend, Newt."

"Ex-best friend? That's what he told you?" Minho asked, confused. "Huh."

"Yeah, why?" Thomas asked, this endeavor cannot get anymore unpleasant.

"Nothing... Um, Have fun with him." Minho said, smile all gone.

"Thanks. Have fun at the party too." Thomas reciprocated but can't help the sudden change of mood. Minho smiled and then left. What did Thomas say that made Minho upset?

"Seriously, Newt." Thomas said as he licked his slowly melting ice cream.

"I am being serious! Look, you have something here." Newt said and chuckled, pointing to the brunette's face where ice cream was smeared on it.

"Where?"

"There..."

"Here?"

"No... It's over... Just let me."

"What are you-" And before Thomas can decline the approaching hand towards his face, it was already too late. Newt brushed his fingers on Thomas' cheeks just a tad close to his lips. Thomas suddenly held his breath as the touch made him feel all jumpy and weird.

"There. All gone." Newt smiled and wiped his fingers on a tissue.

"Th-Thanks." Thomas said as he was able to breathe again.

"I'll get some pretzels." Newt said and stood up from the table. They were at the park. Thomas wanted to go to the mall but Newt was feeling 'outdoorsy' today so they decided for the park.

Thomas was watched the blonde walk away and Thomas raised his eyebrows as he gazed at the blonde's behind, perfectly swaying. Thomas came to his senses and shook his head violently.

"You don't even know if he likes boys." Thomas heard a voice from behind him. He turned and saw that Brenda chick from the library.

"Wh- Hey, you're Newt's friend, right?" Thomas awkwardly said to the approaching girl. Her short hair and brown eyes was piercing.

"Yeah." Brenda said and sat across from the brunette. "You're Tommy, I assume."

"Um, Thomas, actually." Thomas corrected.

"Oh, sorry. He talked about you but never mentioned a name but your name was 'Tommy' on his phone so..."

"Oh, yeah. His name on my phone is 'Isaac Newton'." Thomas snorted as he licked his ice cream again. Brenda just stared at him and it made him feel uneasy.

"I get it." She whispered.

"Get what?" Thomas asked and leaned on the table.

"Brenda?" Thomas heard the blonde call before he got an answer from Brenda.

"Hey!" Brenda stood up and gave Newt a hug.

"What are you doing here?" Newt said, all smiles. Thomas looked at the blonde and can't help but smile too.

"Aris and I were just taking a stroll here and I noticed Thomas here so I just assumed you were with him." Brenda explained.

"How'd you know Thomas is-"

"He told me after I called him 'Tommy'."

"How'd you know Tommy-"

"I saw the name you used in your contacts."

"Oh." Newt said, looking at Thomas briefly and back to the girl.

"So, is this a date? Am I interrupting something?" Brenda teased both of the boys.

"What?! No! Of course not. Just hanging out." Newt defended. Thomas looked at the blonde and called to him.

"What?" Newt asked.

"Look who's freaking out now." Thomas smirked.

"Shut up, Thomas." Newt scolded.

"So just friends?" Brenda chimed in.

"Just friends." Newt swore to Brenda. Thomas doesn't even know why he suddenly feels a little sad and torn by the phrase.

"Okay." Brenda said but still had that knowing smile.

"What?" Newt asked worriedly.

"Nothing! It's just... when I get a feeling it's almost always right." Brenda chuckled.

"And what are you feeling?" Thomas asked, a little too quickly.

"Oh, where's the fun in that? I'll let you discover it by yourselves." Brenda leaned on the table and stared at Thomas. Thomas then gazed at Newt who just shrugged.

"Thomas?" Newt said, cutting the silence between them during the car ride. It was already night and they spent a lovely time together.

"Yeah, buddy?" Thomas answered, not taking his eyes off the road.

"I don't want to go home just yet," Newt turned to Thomas and groaned, "It's Saturday! I want to have fun!" Newt whined and Thomas just chuckled.

"How about a party?" Thomas asked

"A party? You like parties?" Newt said in a mocking tone. Thomas admitted that he surprised himself too. He wasn't keen on parties too but Newt wanted to have fun. "You trying to get me drunk?" Newt teased.

"In your dreams! If I wanted you, you would be breathless and asking for more inside this car." Thomas spat out before stopping himself. Thomas realized that that must be way out of line.

"Bitch. But seriously, a party?' Newt shrugged it off.

'OH, THANK GOD!' Thomas thought.

"Yeah! It would be fun!" Thomas cheered, making the creeping hotness in cheeks disappear.

"You do realize that if we go through with it, it will be the first party I'm gonna attend to right?" Newt informed Thomas.

"Yeah, and Hey! It's gonna my first time too!" Thomas said, briefly looking at the blonde beside him.

"Okay then! Let's go!" Newt sat up straight and clapped his hands.

"Yeah? Are you sure?"

"Yes, you idiot!" Newt punched Thomas playfully and they both laughed. Thomas took a turn and Newt suddenly got gloomy. "We-We're going to your dorm? Is Minho throwing one right now?"

"Yeah. Sorry, it's the only party I know that's going on tonight. Would it be fine? If not we can totally-"

"No, it's fine! You'll be there anyways," Newt said and Thomas just stupidly smiled and looked at the blonde, "and when I get drunk, I could just crash in you room." Newt cheered up again.

"Yes! Okay, let's go!" Thomas chimed in.
