Please save me (Newtmas kitten au)

The man stared at Thomas for a few seconds before turning to the other guy who nodded.
"Fine, but one thing you've gotta know, is that we've owned that piece of shit for 6 years, and he's fucking useless" he snarled looking to the boy who whimpered in response.

"Give me the money first" the man growled and Thomas didn't feel like being killed so he did just that. He reached into his pocket and pulled out all the money he owned, handing it over to the man. He looked down, satisfied with the deal and pointed to the boy on the floor.

"Few things you need to know about that thing" he snarled. "Firstly, it is useless in every way possible. Secondly all it does is fucking cry. And thirdly, it's name is Newt" he said gesturing for the other man to come forward. He removed his hand from the boy who started to gasp for air and walked towards Thomas and the other man.

"Have fun" the man snarled whist walking away, " oh and by the way, it makes a good sex toy, especially during its heats" the man snarled whilst the other laughed. They walked away and Thomas was left with the boy who was trying to sit up on the floor but couldn't. Thomas slowly walked over to him, looking down at the poor boy.

"Um, hi?" Thomas whispered kneeling next to the boy who was looking at him with wide terrified eyes. Thomas took in the sight in front of him. The boy was beautiful. He had deep brown eyes and soft blond hair which was sticking up in every direction. He had cuts and bruises all over his torso and face which made Thomas frown. Tears were falling from his eyes also. His small build made him look even more vulnerable and the way was shaking violently made Thomas just want to hug him. One thing stood out to Thomas, the fact that the boy was wearing a beanie, and the fact that the men hadn't ripped that off.

Thomas could see that the boy was shorter than him which made it easy for him to see how those men could have taken advantage of him so easily.

"My name is Thomas, I uh, I guess I own you now?" Thomas said and every word that came out if his mouth made him more and more unsure of his decision. Where was he going to put this boy? He wouldn't have a family since those men had owned him for all those years. Were they his family? No they couldn't be.

"Your name is Newt, right?" Thomas whispered to the boy, trying to get some sort of response. The boy nodded slightly, looking into Thomas' eyes as if looking for something. Suddenly a whimper broke free from the smaller boys lips.
"What's wrong?" Thomas whispered to the smaller boy who had tears still falling from his eyes. His cheeks were flushed and he looked really tired.
Newt looked down, his eyes closing as he took in a deep breath. His breathing was shakey and Thomas was worried that he might collapse.

"Do you want to come home with me? I live in this building right here" Thomas said pointing to the large building that towered above their heads.

Newt tiredly looked up at Thomas and Thomas decided that he would take him home.

Thomas slowly picked up the smaller boy who was really light and started walking towards the apartments. Newt let out a few small whines and whimpers causing Thomas to yet again frown. He thanked the heavens that his apartment was on the bottom floor and fished out his keys, unlocking the door.

Thomas slowly sat Newt on the couch and took a step back. What was he going to do now?

"Uh-Newt, can you tell me something about yourself?" Thomas tried but the smaller boy only looked up at him hesitantly whilst biting his bottom lip nervously. Thomas couldn't help but think that the boy looked adorable.

"Anything at all?" Thomas tried again, Newt then did something that surprised Thomas, he pointed to his stomach?
"You're hungry?" Thomas said but Newt shook his head.
"Then what's wrong?" Thomas asked, this was really starting to confuse him. Could this boy speak? Does he know how to talk?

Newt shifted in his spot uncomfortably before something unwrapped itself from around his waist. Thomas looked on in shock as a fluffy ginger tail unwrapped itself from the boys waist.

"Wait, that's a-hang on what?" Thomas stuttered and the smaller boy cringed, taking Thomas' stuttering as a sign of disgust towards him. Thomas was in absolute shock.

"So, is that real?" Thomas asked stupidly and Newt gave a small nod, taking off his beanie to reveal two ginger cat ears which were pressed flat against his head.

Thomas gasped and Newt once again cringed at the sound, taking it as a bad sign.

"Ears too?" Thomas whispered mostly to himself, looking down at the kitten boy who sat in front of him, terrified.

"Were you born like this?" Thomas asked, hoping for at least some sort of answer.
"Y-yes" The smaller boy whispered causing Thomas to almost jump.
The boy could speak, and he had a cute little accent, an English accent.

"How? Are your parents like this?" Thomas asked but Newt shock his head.
"I w-was an ex-experiment. They d-didn't want m-me because of t-this" the smaller boy frowned gesturing to his tail and ears. Thomas felt his heart shatter at the confession. Newts parents didn't want him.
