Convincing Newt that he was an idiot had been the easy part. The Brit had agreed on that finer point the second Thomas had broken up with him two years ago. The hard part was convincing him that they should give the relationship another go when Newt had decided to transfer into UCLA. Skeptical as always, Newt refused to discuss the possibility for the entire summer before the fall term started. Thomas didn't blame him for a second, but he desperately wanted the best thing to ever happen to him to happen all over again. Fortunately, Newt didn't try too hard in finding a replacement for Thomas during his long days on the beach, making Thomas actually jump in his excitement. With Net currently laying between his legs and his head on Thomas' chest, he wondered why not giving the long distance thing a shot a real shake. Probably because they were living in the same apartment together with only a few hours at most apart on any given day. Thomas tried not to dwell on his idiocy too much but Newt was still happy to bring it up when Thomas was being stupid again.
"Stop moving around so much, will you? The sharpie is beginning to smear," Newt lightly chastised. He blew lightly on the design on Thomas arm, trying to dry the top layer of marker a little quicker. Thomas willingly complied without complaint or remark that seemed to shock Newt. Blonde eyebrows rose high on his forehead in question and it earned him a kiss to the temple.
"I promised I wouldn't complain today. One day reprieve from my normal sass, just for you," Thomas reminded him. Newt smiled in appreciation and turned to the lotus flower on Thomas' wrist. "But I might need to double up tomorrow, to get it out of my system. I don't want to get hurt, you know."
"You'll survive. Plus me kicking your ass in Halo will put you back in your place. Get the controllers when I'm done and we'll see who has the right to be sassy in this apartment." Newt won, of course, only because Thomas couldn't stop watching his boyfriend's adorable expressing during the game. Not that either one of them really minded all that much.
A/N: This was done upon request for Heroes Fly-Minho's Hero Limps as a get back together story after chapter 12's break up. I'm open for other requests if anyone has any ideas they would like to see fulfilled! I'll do my best.
