"MINHO!" Newt yelled as he paced around his bedroom.
"Newt what could you possibly want?" Minho groaned as he rolled sleepily into the doorway and rubbed his eyes.
"It's almost noon how were you still sleeping?" Newt muttered as he continued pacing.
"It's the weekend that's how," Minho grumbled as he crossed the room and grabbed Newt's arm to make him stop pacing, "what is your problem?"
"Thomas is my problem," Newt frowned.
"Oh yeah, your date is today right?"
Newt nodded then sighed and buried his face in Minho's chest.
"I'm starting to like him a lot Min."
"Is that bad?"
Newt nodded, ruffling Minho's shirt in the process.
"Newt come on," Minho sighed, "you're allowed to be happy."
"Okay," Newt's voice cracked and Minho took a deep breath.
"Don't cry kid," Minho scooped him up and carried him carefully over to their couch where he sat down and pulled Newt into his side.
Newt was trying hard to conceal his tears so he left his face hidden, pressed tightly against his friends body.
"You're gonna go out with Thomas tonight and have a great time okay?"
"Okay," Newt said weakly but it came out as more of a squeak.
"Come on Newt, do this not only for you but for me. I want you to be happy, you haven't been happy since I first told you about Teresa."
"I'm not unhappy," Newt pulled back so he could look his roommate in the eye, "I'm scared."
"Just forget about the whole soulmate thing okay?"
"I can't Min! Cause if I'm not his soulmate then eventually he'll leave me for someone better and I wont be able to handle that!"
"If he leaves you for someone else that's his loss cause Newt you're great, annoying at times but great," Minho lightly pushed Newt's shoulder but Newt was smiling so it worked.
"Thank you," Newt wiped his cheeks, "I'm sorry."
Minho just pulled him into a long silent hug.
At that moment there was nothing Newt needed need more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thomas walked nervous circles around his couch as he dreamed of everything that could go wrong during the date.
What if Newt decided that dating him was a stupid idea and didn't show up? What if he accidentally touched Newt and Newt never spoke to him again? What if...
His thoughts were interrupted when he tripped over a charger and face planted onto the soft couch.
He debated calling Minho, no one knew Newt better then that guy. Getting up from the couch, he grabbed his cell phone and dialed Minho's number.
He picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Min, I need your help."
"You're not thinking about ditching Newt are you?" Minho's tone got seriously defensive and chills shot down Thomas' spine.
"No, of course not why?"
Minho sighed loudly into the phone, "Newt's paranoid, I don't think he's ever been on a real date before."
"Listen, I'm into him and I just want this date to go well so he'll see me again and I thought since you're his best friend I'd come to you."
"Don't talk about soulmates and if he brings it up, change the subject," a bang sounded from Minho's end and he swore loudly, "sorry Thomas, I gotta go, just take care of him will ya?"
"I will," Thomas said shortly before the line fell dead.
Thomas huffed, that was basically no help at all. He texted Teresa, telling her to come over.
Girls are good at all the dating stuff...right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Newt stood nervously in front of his apartment door, Minho helped him pick out what to wear to settle his nerves before he left, saying he'd be back the next morning.
When there was a knock on the door Newt jumped, then recollected himself and opened the door.
He was met by a blushing nervous Thomas but to say he looked good was a clear understatement. He had on a plain long sleeve black shirt with jeans that were a slightly lighter shade of dark grey.
They were just standing there, staring at each other till Thomas coughed and scratched the back of his neck.
"You look uh really, really good."
Newt's cheeks flushed, "so do you Tommy."
"Well, shall we go?"
Newt nodded happily and followed Thomas to his car.
Thomas turned to volume up on the car radio and they spent the car ride stealing looks at each other and shyly looking out the window.
When they got to the restaurant, they got seated with no wait.
"You're staring," Newt said as they sat down.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, you're ridiculously cute!"
"So are you!" Newt grinned as Thomas looked slightly taken aback.
"Alright we're both cute so let's get past this super awkward phase alright?" Thomas chuckled as Newt nodded.
"So Tommy, you and Teresa, how'd you meet?" Newt asked.
"Childhood friends, our parents forced us to get along and she shared her juice box with me," Thomas smiled at the memory and Newt decided he wanted to see Thomas smile more.
"So juice is that way to your heart?" Newt joked but it made Thomas laugh so Newt counted it as a win.
"Alright tell me one thing I don't know about you," Thomas said as he ran a hand through his hair.
"About me?" Newt looked slightly shocked.
"No, my other date," Thomas smirked which made Newt roll his eyes.
"Alright, um....I can play the guitar."
"You can?" Thomas looked genuinely interested which sparked Newt's self confidence a slight bit.
"Right and Left handed."
"Are you serious!? You'll have to play fro me sometime!"
"Sure Tommy."
And the grin that took over Thomas' face was one of the best things Newt's ever seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So wait, you thought you could fly and you jumped off your garage roof?"
"I wasn't a very smart child, I was lucky to only make it out with a broken leg and permeant limp."
Thomas just shook his head but smiled fondly at the other boy, "you're really something else Newt, you know that?"
Thomas insisted on paying because he asked Newt on the date then they left the restaurant.
"So, how'd I do?" Thomas asked as they got into the car.
"With what?"
"Our first date," Thomas kept his eyes on the road, refusing to meet Newt's gaze.
"I think you did good enough for a second date," Newt said quietly.
"Seriously?" Thomas' entire face lit up and he got so excited for a moment his car swerved. A chorus of honks sounded from behind him which made Thomas cringe and grip the steering wheel tighter.
"Only if you get me home in one piece," Newt smirked.
"That was your fault! You distracted me!"
"I did no such thing."
"Yes you did with your damn cute face and really attractive British accent that told me I get a second date!"
Newt just grinned.
Maybe Minho was right, dating Thomas wouldn't be such a bad thing.
