ain't it fun

    Thomas said goodbye to Rose yesterday, he bought her dinner and told her a bunch of details about the tour. She hugged him and even cried a little bit when he said goodbye. They parted with Thomas promising to send her updated content for her to upload to the band's instagram.

    Thomas sent back a few hearts saying "love you idiot".

   "Where the bloody hell is my bastard sister?" Newt groaned as they waited in the driveway. She was supposed to drive them to the bus station so they didn't have to leave a car there.

    She pulled in a few minutes later, music absolutely tearing through the speakers.

   "Hey bitches!" Lizzy yelled out the window as she took her sunglasses off. "Get in!"

    "Are you seriously playing Nickelback right now Liz?" Newt rolled his eyes as he opened the passenger seat door.

    "Shotgun!" Minho screamed as he pushed passed Newt and jumped into the seat.

    Newt stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head and climbing into the backseat.

    "My car my music." Lizzy grinned as she watched Thomas and Teresa pile into the backseat.

   "Hey Thomas, long time no see." The blonde girl grinned as she looked at him.

   "Hey Lizzy." Thomas smiled.

    "You get sick of Newt yet?" She asked as she winked at him.

    Thomas huffed out a laugh before intertwining his fingers with Newt's. "No, I kinda like him."

   "Yeah you better like him," Newt said as he leaned against Thomas who was squished in the middle of the backseat. "And Lizzy, stop trying to steal my man!"

    Lizzy stuck her tongue out at him before plugging the bus station into her GPS. "You're no fun Newt."

    "He's possessive, have you gotten a load of Tommy-boy's neck over there?" Minho motioned to the two in the back seat. "It's obscene."

    Thomas felt his face flush as he pulled the collar of his shirt up. Newt was just smiling smugly next to him.

    "Hey he's gotta mark his territory." Teresa shrugged. "Thomas is hot."

    "Yeah and he's gay," Newt said as he glared at Teresa. That just made her laugh.

    "Oh god are these next few months gonna be fun aren't they." Minho groaned from the front seat.

    "No offense but you're all annoying so," Lizzy started as she cranked the volume on the radio.

    "Yo I love this song!" Teresa exclaimed happily as she sat up straighter and used her hand as a microphone to sing along.

    "You know this song?" Newt asked as he looked up at Thomas.

   Thomas shook his head. "Sounds familiar tho."

    "Teenage Dirtbag," Newt said as he laid his head on his shoulder. "Staying up all night was a bad idea, I'm tired."

   "You can sleep on the bus," Thomas said as he softly kissed his head just because he could.

    Newt just hummed and closed his eyes as the other three jammed out to Teenage Dirtbag. Thomas had no idea how Newt was going to even attempt to sleep with the others scream singing the lyrics to the songs but he held onto Thomas hand and snuggled more into his shoulder so Thomas wasn't going to say anything.

    Thomas rubbed his thumb along Newt's as the boy rested. The entire ride there consisted of Lizzy Minho and Teresa scream singing to songs he'd never heard of and Newt passed out on his shoulder.
