Lonely Omega •Newtmas•

"Bloody hell Tommy," Newt blushes in embarrassment and covers his face with his hands. His tail droops down in shame.

"Relax hun, your father and I were the exact same way when we first got together," she says as she continues to unpack the groceries.

Newt lets out a groan, "mum, that's gross!" He whines. His mother rolls her eyes at him. She was the exact same when she was his age, running around with her mate and doing naughty things. That's usually how it goes between mates! Newt has nothing to be ashamed about.

"Will Thomas be staying for dinner? He's more than welcomed and I'd love to meet him," she asks hopefully, changing the topic. Newt brings his hands back down and shifts uncomfortably on his feet.

She's right, she hasn't met Thomas before.

"I mean, I can ask him," Newt says softly. The idea of Thomas meeting his mom slightly freaks him out. Newt can't imagine ever meeting Thomas' parents, he wonders if Tommy feels the same.

"Perfect! I'm making soup with a side of salad! I'll call you boys down when it's ready," she says excitedly. Newt nods and starts making his way back up to his bedroom, leaving his mom to start dinner.

He closes the door and leans against it, shutting his eyes. He groans embarrassment, not believing that just happened. Newt's lucky his mom isn't strict. He's even luckier that his mom doesn't hate Thomas.

Newt opens his eyes as he hears Thomas let out a chuckle from across the room.

"I tried to warn you," Thomas teases while putting up his hands in defence.

Newt rolls his eyes and pushes off from the door. He walks over to Thomas and stands there, sulking.

Thomas fake pouts and rolls closer to Newt so he's sitting in front of him. Thomas wraps his arms around Newt's waist and hugs him, resting his head against his mates stomach. Newt anxiously brings his hand up to Thomas' head and runs a hand through his hair.

"You're the worst," Newt teases back while trying not to smile.

Thomas looks up at him, grinning. "That's not what you were saying earlier," Thomas says, referring to moments ago when Newt was desperate for him.

"Oh shove off," Newt flicks his forehead, causing Thomas to let out a soft ow. The alpha then buries his face into Newt.

Newt sighs and starts playing with Thomas' hair again, allowing himself to fall silent. Thomas doesn't say anything either, he just enjoys his time snuggled up against Newt, inhaling his scent.

"My mum was wondering if you wanted to stay for dinner," he breaks the silence between them. Thomas looks up and detaches himself from Newt, sitting back in the rolly chair.

"Is that what you want?" He asks back. Thomas has a shocked expression on his face, causing Newt to grow more anxious.

Newt shrugs his shoulders, "I mean, it would mean a lot to my mum. Besides, you'll have to meet her eventually." He explains. Thomas nods along as he thinks. He knows Newt is right, they're mates for life now, he can't just avoid her forever.

"Does... does she know about how we used to be?" Thomas asks, referring back to when he would bully Newt. The thought makes him sick to his stomach, he doesn't understand how Newt's mom would ever be okay with him, especially after the way he treated her son.

"I mean, sorta, yeah..." Newt trails off, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. "But she was super supportive when we became mates! She really wants to meet you Tommy," Newt tries to make the situation better. If she hated Thomas, she would've thrown him out already.

Thomas doesn't reply for a few seconds, a few seconds too long. Newt is itching to know the answer, he's not sure how Thomas is going to react.

A smile forms on Thomas' face and his tail starts wagging against the chair. "Okay, sure, I would love to stay," Thomas gives his answer. Newt lets out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Tommy," Newt bends down and hugs Thomas. The brunette hugs back and stands up. He grabs the back of Newt's legs before hoisting him up, the omega is quick to wrap his legs around Thomas' waist and cling to him like a koala.

Thomas walks over to the bed and sits down with Newt on his lap. The two pull away from the hug and look at each other. Newt blushes as he looks down to see himself sitting on Thomas.

The alphas hands snake to Newt's hips, holding them gently. "Now, where were we?" Thomas teases while leaning in to bump his nose against Newt's.

"Fuck off," Newt groans, his blush deepening. Thomas just giggles and pulls Newt back into a hug, making the omega feel safe and secure.

They sit in silence, just enjoying each other's embrace. Newt rests his head against Thomas' shoulder and closes his eyes. He could fall asleep in this warm embrace. Newt moves his head and nuzzles his nose against Thomas' neck, inhaling deeply.

Thomas brings his hand up to Newt's head and runs his fingers through his hair, soothing Newt more than he knows.

"I like when you pet me," Newt mumbles against Thomas' neck. The brunette smiles to himself and tightens his grip on Newt.

"Me too," he continues running his hands through Newt's hair. Newt's white fluffy tail starts wagging against Thomas' lap, making him smile.

"Somebody's happy," Thomas pulls Newt away from his neck and pokes his cheek playfully. Newt tries not to smile but fails miserably.

"Oh shut up, you've been so annoying today!" Newt groans, he tries to keep his mouth in a straight line but the smile continues to break through.

"WOW, I cannot believe you just said that!" Thomas argues, trying to banter with his mate. Newt pushes Thomas down onto his back and pins his wrists to the bed.

"Can we just relax? Please? I'm tired and I would love to nap before dinner," Newt whines out while Thomas cracks a smile and stares up at Newt.

"Okay, get off me and come lay next to me baby," Thomas says gently.

Newt's cheeks go red at the nickname and he's quick to remove his hands from Thomas' wrists. The word baby replays in his head. His heartbeat quickens and he takes his bottom lip between his teeth, really trying to hold back a smile this time.

"You dork, I just told you to lay down," Thomas grabs Newt by the waist and pulls him onto his side.

The two lay next to each other, staring into each other's eyes. Thomas reaches out and strokes Newt's cheek gently before trailing his hand down Newt's face to his arm and down to his waist. He pulls his boyfriend closer.

"Come cuddle with me, I don't think we've ever done it properly," Thomas voice remains soft and soothing.

Newt hesitates before gently pushing Thomas into to his back. He curls up next to him and rests his head on his mates chest. Thomas' hand wraps around Newt and the two lay there comfortably.

They lay there for about ten minutes before Newt finds himself drifting off. Thomas looks down at him, admiring every detail and outline on his face. Newt twitches as his body tries to wake him, he won't allow himself to fall asleep.

"You can rest Newt, I'll wake you when your mom calls us for dinner," Thomas whispers. Newt lets out a soft hum and drags his body on top of Thomas'.

He wraps his arms around Thomas, like he's one giant teddy bear. He rests his head on his shoulder and closes his eyes. Newt falls asleep to Thomas' gentle breathing and steady heart rate.

Thomas hopes this moment never ends.
