"I'm really sorry, this is going to ruin everything, but I'm going to tell you anyways because if I don't do it now I don't think I'll ever be able to," he says. "Ever since you came up in the box we've been best friends and spent every moment we weren't working together, and it's been great. Better than great, amazing actually, and I wouldn't change a thing, but... um... I don't really know how to say this, but... I like you. I really, really like you. And I know I've made things weird now. I'm sorry. You don't have to say anything, love, I'll just go."

He starts to get up and walk away, but I grab his wrist and stop him. "Wait."

He looks back at me, his deep brown eyes full of hope.

"Do you still want to know what Thomas was teasing me about?"

A look of confusion spreads across Newt's face. "Sure, I guess."

I stand up and place my arms around his neck.

He smiles from ear to ear. His grin is so adorable I can't help but smile too. Newt wraps his arms around my waist, pressing me up against his chest. "What was it, love?"

I pull him down so our lips meet. I draw back so I can speak, "I like you too."
