Thomas always hated christmas sweaters. It was itchy and to top it all off, it was ugly as hell. His mom made him this red and white sweater with a reindeer in the middle of the chest area and although he loved his mom to death, her skills in knitting seriously needed work because this is just plain awful.

"Ready, Tommy?" He heard a voice through the bathroom and he stood up from the bed, scratching his arms furiously.

"Yeah, babe." He irritably said, trying to catch the itch on his back. He groaned as it seems to be making fun of him and was laughing at his disarray. The thought of it made him so agitated that he ended up moving in a circle, trying to scratch the itch.

He suddenly stopped when he heard a giggling voice from behind him. He stopped and turned around to face the voice and then he saw Newt, laughing at him with his hair all messed up. "You look like a dog trying to catch it's bloody tail, Tommy." Newt amusingly said.

Thomas only really spluttered in response because what he had in front of him was far more distracting than the situation he is in. Newt looked incredibly cute in the sweater he was wearing. Don't get him wrong, the sweater was still ugly as hell and he'd prefer Newt without the sweater *wink wink* but he can't deny that the blonde did look huggable and ready for cuddles with the sweater on.

"Awe, thanks, Tommy." He shook his head as he heard Newt speak again and came closer. Newt was smirking at him and his eyes sparkled with mischief.

"You look cute, Newt." Thomas said as he wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist and brought him closer. Newt just snickered and went in for a kiss. Thomas kissed back immediately and melted in the blonde's arms around his neck.

"It's a good thing my parents allowed me to celebrate Christmas here." Newt whispered against Thomas' lips.

After sorting everything out about their official status as boyfriends, they realized that they would have to spend 2 weeks apart for the Christmas break and that was not really ideal so after convincing Newt's parents (that took almost 2 hours because they won't just budge), they packed their stuff and went to Thomas' hometown again.

"I know." Thomas whispered back as he stepped back and rested his forehead with Newt's, grasping the blonde's face. "At least Sonya agreed easily."

"She always liked the idea of us getting together." Newt chuckled, "I think she's more invested in us rather than her own relationship."

"Boys!" A faint voice called them from downstairs, "Dinner's ready!" Thomas looked at Newt, took his hand and went out the door.

After Ana and Chuck found out that Newt would be spending Christmas with them, they immediately made it their life mission to make this the best Christmas to he ever celebrated in this house. Thomas actually laughed when Ana even thought about making their celebration a British themed party.

When they reached the kitchen, the table was filled with food. The most obvious one was the big ass turkey that sat right at the center of the table. It was too extravagant, really, but his mom was just excited is all. His son just got a boyfriend and she's just celebrating.

The idea of Newt being his boyfriend has not really settle still. It was so surreal and he was afraid that it was too good to be true that it will get ahead of him and he'll somehow lose it but, right now, looking at the blonde brit that he loves so much, all he can feel was adoration and assurance. Newt constantly lets him know that he's here to stay and that he thinks and feels the same way Thomas feels for him, if not more.

"It looks delicious, Ana!" He heard from behind him and when he turned he saw that his mom also got Teresa to wear one of her sweaters. God, it was ugly.

Teresa's family actually planned to visit their relatives for Christmas but Teresa got delayed because of the traffic when driving back to their hometown so she was left behind. Her parent's called her all the time to say sorry but Teresa just chuckled at them and told them to have fun with their relatives and grandparents. She said it was okay because, then, she would have the pleasure of staying with the Edisons and Newt for Christmas.

"Thank you, Darling." Ana smiled at her, gesturing for all of them to sit down. Thomas took a seat beside Teresa, right in front of Newt, who was sitting beside Chuck. Ana was seated at the middle edge of the table. "You must all try the stuffing! Dig in everyone!"

The dinner table was filled with chatter, laughter, clinking of the utensils and the soft sounds of christmas carols from the speakers. Thomas, though, did not participate in the chattering. He was busy staring at the wonderful people around him, not just around this table but also the people who are spending christmas with their own families that are dear to his heart.

He saw his mom who he loved dearly and would do anything to keep that huge smile and heart of hers forever. He saw his brother who he loves so much that it would sometimes be too much that he would get too protective. He saw his best friend who he would do anything with, crazy or no, as long as they stick together, it's gonna be wonderful.

And last but, certainly not the least. He saw the person who he would fight for. The person who takes his breath away and makes his heart beat a little bit faster. The person who could be his completion and undoing at the same time. The person who he fell in love with. He would do anything for Newt. Everything to make sure that the blonde was okay and happy and he knows Newt would do the same for him too.

"You okay, Tommy?" Thomas shook his head as a hand was placed on his thigh and realized it was Newt's, "You seem awfully quiet. Are you feeling okay?"

Thomas looked at him and saw the concern on Newt's face and he can't help but smile, "Yeah. I'm perfect." Thomas whispered, intertwining their hands together and kissing Newt's knuckles.

They ate happily, sharing stories of various kinds to one another and creating happy memories that would stay with them for many years to come.

After the dinner, gifts were exchanged and everything was hilarious. Teresa found these ugly beanies that did not match the sweaters that they were wearing but apparently his mom thought it was a good idea to just wear them anyway because it was cute. Chuck had fun with his candies and chocolates, which he hesitantly shared with everyone.

"Thomas! Newt!" He can actually hear Gally's agitated voice even from afar.

"Wow. He can really shout, huh?" Newt amusingly provided while tying up Thomas' stubborn tie. Thomas was trying to fix his sleeves and worrying about his outfit because he had not exactly saw this coming and he had no time to prepare anything. Stupid finals.

Gally finally came up to them, out of breath and a camera hanging from his neck. "Where were you guys?"

"We're almost done! Just fixing minor details." Newt provided as he did a final loop and the tie was finally tamed. Newt patted his chest and smiled up at him. "My boyfriend's so handsome."

Thomas smiled and pulled Newt closer, "Oh yeah? How handsome?"

Newt chuckled and leaned in for a kiss when Gally pulled them apart again, "Okay, that's enough out of you two! I dealt with Teresa all by myself for 2 hours and I'm not going back in there without you two so save all that sexual energy for later and let's all celebrate the fact that Alby is about to graduate!" Gally basically dragged them towards the ceremony and sat them far away from each other, in between Teresa and Gally.

Alby was graduating today and they were here for support because Alby truly gave everything to the finals. He was stressed, sleep-deprived, and batshit worried. Thomas thought he was having a difficult time until he saw Alby walking towards him like a lifeless zombie.

The sound of graduation marching music filled the air and the graduates stood from their seats. The ceremony began with everyone cheering as they finally grasp the idea of them finally finishing the tertiary level of school and well on their way to the real world.

When Alby was called to receive his diploma, all of them cheered for him. Teresa, Gally, Newt and himself stood up to cheer him on. It was a great dayc really. After everyone got their diploma, the necessary throwing of the caps ensued and every one of the graduates had tears in their eyes. It was truly a great thing to witness.

"Alby!" He heard himself call as everyone dispersed to their respective families, Alby was one of them and in tow with him were his parents, both crying with happiness, "We're so proud of you, man!"

Thomas took him for a hug and Alby chuckled, patting his back, "Thanks, Thomas."

Everyone said their congratulations and took pictures with everyone. It was a really great day all in all but he was kind of sad that he won't be seeing Alby in the hallways and hanging out anymore for next school year.

"You ready for senior year, Tommy?" Newt whispered, his hand and head on Thomas' chest as he played with the blonde's hair.

"That's going to be easy, babe." He smugly said, making his boyfriend chuckle. It was still a weird, yet wonderful, thing to say. His boyfriend. They've been together for almost 4 months now and he couldn't be any happier. Newt was perfect. He was everything he dreamed of and more.

"Easy for you to say, mister smartass." Newt countered, resting his chin on Thomas' chest so that they were looking at each other's eyes, "I'm kind of nervous."

"Hey," Thomas whispered, intertwining their hands together and kissing Newt's nose, "We're gonna kickass next school year. We'll study real hard and focus. We'll help each other." Newt gave him a lazy smile and laid on his chest again. This was a normal occurrence now, how they sleep at Thomas' dorm room almost every night (doing the do or just sleeping, whatever is the mood for that night). It was just easy. It was natural. It felt fight.

"I hope so." Newt murmured, "I really want to graduate like Alby."

"You will. We all will." Thomas said, threading his hands through Newt's hair. "I love you."

"I love you." Newt whispered, kneading his cheek against Thomas' chest.

After moments of silence, Thomas felt Newt's steady breathing against his chest and he knew that the blonde was finally sleeping. He knew what they had have between the is something special and he just knows it's gonna last for a very long time, at least that's what's his planning because no matter what, he will always love Newt. He did not know why but somehow this blonde angel managed to capture his heart and turned him into this sappy and cheesy person and, honestly, he did not really care.
