"i'm so tired." thomas groaned, smiling to himself as he spoke to newt. "honestly. work is exhausting - i mean, i don't need to listen to your complaining all day long! just get on with your stupid job. it's infuriating, really."

he put down the flowers next to the sleeping boy, sitting down on the bed.

"i wish you were here. i miss your complaining and your ranting. much better than everyone else's."

he took newt's hand into his own, giving it a reassuring squeeze, before getting off the hospital bed.

"someone left you some flowers. they're really pretty. i think they're lilies. i don't know, you're better than me at knowing flowers. i don't have a clue who left them there, but anyway. chuck needs to be picked up from school, i should probably go get him. i love you, newt. i always have, and i always will."

he placed a small kiss on the sleeping boy's forehead, wiping his eyes as a tear fell onto the forehead as well.
