ain't it fun

   Thomas scrolled through his phone, and totally didn't take a picture of Newt asleep on him because it totally wasn't cute.

    When they got to the bus stop, Thomas gently shook Newt awake. Newt groaned and just pressed his face back into Thomas' shirt. "Stop moving Tommy."

    "We're here," Thomas said as gently caressed his cheek.

    "Okay," Newt grumbled as he stretched and pulled his jacket tighter around himself.

   Thomas climbed out of the car after Teresa and stretched his legs.

    "Hey you," Lizzy said as she approached him. "You better text me at least a little bit. I miss your stupid ass."

    "I will." Thomas smiled softly as the blonde girl pulled him into a hug.

    Newt sleepily got out of the car, rubbing his eyes and lazily putting his arms around Thomas' waist. That was exactly that opposite of what they were supposed to be doing but Newt just pulled him closer and rested his head in the crook of his neck.

    Thomas put his hand on the small of his back, letting the tired boy rest on him.

    "Newt wake up and say goodbye to me bitch," Lizzy said as she frowned at her brother.

    Newt seemingly rose from the dead as he untangled himself from Thomas and rubbed his eyes.

   Lizzy pulled Newt into a tight hug which the blonde boy returned. When they pulled back Lizzy held her fist out which Newt met in a fist bump.

    Newt smiled softly. "Bitch."

    Lizzy stuck her tongue out. "Asshole." She looked a little sad as she looked at her big brother. "Fuck it up, and call me sometimes okay?"

    "You think I'd let you go a few months without me annoying you?"

   Lizzy yanked him into another hug.

    As they were saying their goodbyes, the bus pulled up.

    "Newt," Minho said as he gently shook the blonde boy's arm. "We gotta go."

    Newt pulled away from his sister, holding up his middle finger at her which she returned. They had such a weird relationship but she was important to Newt, that much was obvious.

   Minho was talking to the driver when Newt finally joined him in front of the bus.

   "You okay?" Thomas asked softly.

     Newt nodded before smiling up at him. "Just thinking about how I get to fuck you in Ohio tonight."

    Thomas' cheeks flushed, but he hid it by grabbing his suitcase and heading over to the bus steps.

    Teresa helped him put his suitcase under the bus in the little compartment they had for bags.

    Thomas jaw dropped when he got onto the bus. It was not at all what he was expecting. There were two couches across from each other and a small kitchen set. There were beds shoved into the back and a little door that Thomas assumed was the bathroom.

    Minho pushed past him and flopped down on the couch. "Yo this is fuckin sick! Janson really pulled through for us."

    Thomas turned around to see Newt come up the steps. The smile on his face melted Thomas' heart. He looked so happy it made his chest feel tight.

    Teresa appeared from the back, a similar smile on her face. "I already totally claimed the bed in the back so I have less of a chance of hearing Newt and Thomas fucking."
