The Boy In The Box (Newtmas au)

Newt's POV

It's been five days since we gave Boyd the money in that warehouse. It's been five days since Thomas called me beautiful. It's been five days since that heated make out session. And today I'm meeting Teresa and Brenda.

Tommy has been staying with his two cousins all week, but we have been hanging out when I didn't have to go to work. I can feel us starting to get really close, and I can't help but love the feeling of that. I really like him, and I don't want to lose him. Maybe, just maybe, Thomas can be my new beginning. And I won't let that slip away.

Thomas is picking me up in half an hour, so I should start getting ready. The girls are apparently making dinner for Tommy and I and I really want them to like me, because Tommy loves them so much. It would be very awkward if they didn't like me.

I quickly put on a decent shirt and brush my teeth before Tommy arrives. When I hear the doorbell, I open the thing to find him standing there, sexy as ever in his leather jacket. He steps through the door and kisses me. I put my hands on his waist while kissing him back.

"Hello", I smile.

"Hi, cutie. Are you ready?" I nod. I'm ready. "Well, let's go then", he excitedly says. I put on my jacket and he takes my hand. We step in the elevator and he asks: "Are you nervous?" I nod again.

"Yes. What if they don't like me?" Thomas squeezes my hand.

"Don't worry, Newt. They're going to love you." I smile at him. I bloody hope so.

When we arrive at Teresa and Brenda's house, Thomas opens the door and motions for me to come in. I hesitantly step through the door, my hands trembling by cause of my nerves. "We're here!" Thomas yells. Two girls come marching through in the hallway. I recognize the both of them as the girls I saw in the supermarket a while ago. The girl who winked at me that day extends her hand: "Hi. I'm Brenda." I shake it, hoping that my hands don't sweat too much. 

"I'm Newt. Nice to meet you." Then I look at the other woman. "And you must be Teresa, right?" She smiles and shakes my hand too. "Yep. That's me."

"I suggest you lead Newt around the house for a moment while Teresa and I finish up in the kitchen", Brenda says. Thomas nods and takes my hand. He starts to pull me up the stairs and whispers in my ear: "I'll show you the room I'm staying in first." That comment makes me blush a bit and he giggles like a bloody teenage boy. That sound is the cutest thing I've heard all day.

"So this is it", he announces while he shows me a pretty normal room with a bed and a desk. Obviously it isn't very special, since he's only staying here for a short amount of time. That reminds me, I still want to ask him why his roommates kicked him out, but I guess that's a question for later.

Thomas also shows me things like the bathroom and stuff like that, and eventually we end up in the living room, where a table is set nicely, but the girls are nowhere in sight. He makes me sit down next to him on the couch and smiles at me. He leans in to kiss me, but I stop him. "Here? Right now?" But he replies: "I sort of live here, so I can do whatever I want here." So I let him kiss me.

"No matter how cute the two of you look, I think it's time to start dinner now." The voice makes me pull away from Tommy's lips and blush. I see Brenda standing in the doorway that leads to the kitchen with a bottle of wine in her hand. I stand up when Teresa comes in with a plate of what seems to be lasagna. Oh shuck, I bloody love lasagna. Bless these women.

Teresa and Brenda sit on one side of the table, meanwhile I sit down on the other side, next to Thomas.

"So, Newt. Tell me about yourself." I look at Teresa, who is now sipping on her wine, waiting for my answer.

"Uh... Well..." I feel Tommy put his hand on my knee, encouraging me to continue. "So, my name's Newt Isaacs. I'm twenty-five years old and I was born in London. There really isn't much to tell about me. I am a pretty uninteresting person." I look over at the girls, who seem to think about my answer and then I look at my boyfriend, who looks at his empty plate with a frown.

"Oh... Well... Who's hungry?" Brenda asks with a smile. Thomas answers by giving her his plate and she gives him a piece of lasagna. I follow his lead and do the same. I take a bite and say: "Wow! This is really good!" The girls thank me and we make small talk about nothing. They tell me about how Tommy was as a kid and as a teenager. They even show me a picture from when he was little. I tell him how cute looked there, to which he replies with: "Am I now not cute, then?" We all laugh.

I have a great time, eating good food, Tommy's hand hardly ever leaving my leg. The girls are really nice, and I even think they like me. Good that. After a while, I say: "I think I'm going outside for a moment, get some fresh air. They all nod and I walk to the garden, where I find a small bench. I sit down and stare into the darkness.

I feel good. I really like Thomas. I have to remember to tell all this stuff to Minho, I think he would want to know all this. I hear the back door open and close again and Thomas sits down next to me.

"Are you alright?" he asks.

"Yes. I'm good."

"Good."

"Good." I smile and turn towards him and kiss him on the cheek. He smiles back at me and says: "Let's go back inside. Teresa is getting more wine." I laugh and follow him inside. Like he said, Teresa comes in with another bottle of wine. 

The rest of the night we just sit together and get a bit drunk and talk and have a good time. Before I even realise it, it's past midnight. "Stay here with me tonight", Thomas murmurs. I look at the ladies of the house and they nod in agreement. 

"Okay", I smile. We say goodnight to the girls and go upstairs to Thomas' room. I take of my shirt and pants, as does Thomas. He crawls in his bed and I get in behind him. I put my arms around him and close my eyes.

"Goodnight, Newt."

"Goodnight, Tommy." After a few minutes, he asks: "Newt?"

"What is it?"

"I want you to know that I think you're a very interesting person."

I smile. "Thanks, Tommy." And then I drift to sleep.
