Newt and Thomas

Game Day

Thomas POV

First game of the season is finally here! I've been waiting all year for this!

We are loading onto the bus. Well the boys team is. The girls team rides a different bus. My sister Teresa is on that bus.

I go all the way to the back and sit in the seat on the right, next to the window. Newt sits next to me. Minho and Aris sit in the seat next to ours, Alby and Winston in front of them, then Gally and Ben in front of us. The majority of our little clique.

The bus ride is an hour and a half. At least we got out of school early.

Mainly the bus ride there is just all of us talking about anything and everything.

When we get there we find the locker room we'll be using then get changed and head out to the court to practice.

I must say Newt looks good in his jersey. He also looks good shirtless. He's probably the best player on our team. He's played since he was 5. He has all the girls swooning over him and I will admit it makes me a little jealous. That's what I get for having a crush on my best friend who is also the best basketball player in our school, has amazing looks, is straight-

"Tommy!" Newt's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I look up.

"Yeah?"

"You okay? You looked totally out of it. I called your name like 5 times. I was just about to hit you to get your bloody attention." Another reason girls like him. His accent.

"Yeah just... uh... giving myself a little prep talk before the game." I responded. Nice one stupid.

"Um okay we'll get in some shots before the game Tommy." He replied before going back to practicing. If you're thinking Newt's bossy let me stop you right there. He's not bossy. He's the team captain and has to make sure we at least get some shots in before a game. So with that I practice some.

The game goes great. We won 46-29.

We go back the the locker room, listen to coach talk, get changed, me glancing at Newt every once in awhile, then load back up on the bus in the same spots as before.

It's already dark outside and its 9 O'clock. We won't get back till about 10:30.

"Those 3 pointers you busted at the beginning where amazing, Tommy." Newt told me when we sat down.

"Thanks. You weren't too bad yourself." I said with a smirk. He laughed. His laugh is so beautiful.

"Tommy you okay? You zoned out again." He was waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh oh yeah I'm fine just...tired. Yeah tired." It wasn't a complete lie I am tired.

"Are you sure you're okay? You've been acting weird lately."

"Yeah I'm perfectly fine." When I'm not thinking about you, I think to myself.

"Okay."

We talk some more about random stuff. All of a sudden he's leaning his head on my shoulder. I look at him surprised.

"Oh sorry, Tommy." He apologizes before going to lift his head from my shoulder.

"No, no it's okay. I was just surprised is all." I explain and he leans his head back on my shoulder.

"Ya know, Tommy, I'm pretty sure I'm only admitting what I'm about to admit because I'm so bloody tired but I don't care at the moment." I look at him confused.

"What are you ramblin about now Newt?" I ask.

"I like you." He says softly. Almost to softly for me to hear but I do. A wave of shock curses through my body. Newt likes me. Newt, my best friend, the captain of the basketball team, the one every girl likes, the one I was certain ways straight, the one I've had a crush on for a year now, likes me. Me of all people. I don't believe this.

"Tommy?" Newt looks at me a little scared.

"You...you like me?" I ask. He nods.

"H-How long?" I'm still in shock.

"About a year."

"Are the two lovebirds finally going to get together?" Minho asks. Aris slaps him.

"Shut up klunkhead." He hisses at Minho. I've gotta get him a present or something. He always keeps Minho in line which is a very hard job. But right now there's a bigger thing to deal with.

"Holy shuck." I breathe out.

"What?" He asks.

"We've both liked each other for a year now and we are just now finding out." I explain.

"Wait you like me too?" He asks.

"Yeah."

"We're bloody idiots, Tommy."

"Yes we are." I say with a little laugh.

"So, Tommy, do you wanna go out with me?"

"Of course." I respond immediately.

"Good. That means now I can do this." He says before lifting his head up and kissing me. I hear our friends making cat calls and the bus driver yelling at them to shut up.

The kiss is filled with a years worth of emotions.

When we finally pull apart Newt snuggles into my side and I get comfortable. We cuddle and talk about anything and everything the rest of the way back. Then Newt comes home with me since his mom is working the night shift tonight.

We continue cuddling in the car and again in the bed when we get to my house. All in all it was a good way to start out basketball season.

A/N sorry if this sucks. If you want you can leave me some ideas and I'll try to do them
