Summary
At some point during their search of the party they stumble upon a girl whose shirt shifted and changed, the embroidered flower pattern blooming and wilting in a continuous loop. They’re both slightly mesmerized. Newt leans over, lips so close that they brush against the shell of his ear. “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Tommy.” A sunflower petal drifted down the girl’s arm.
“It’s ‘feeling’.” Thomas rasps out, heart jackhammering, watching the living shirt grow and decay all over again.
Newt quirks his scarred eyebrow indulgently. “What?”
Thomas turns, their faces inches apart and trying to keep his voice even. “It’s ‘feeling’. The line. People always say it wrong. It’s ‘Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ People always…they always get that one wrong.”
Newt’s playful smile shifts into something teasing and, yes, dangerous. Maybe just a bit beautiful as well.
(Or; In between glowing screens with promises about his future and cracked pavement that spilled his memories, for one summer, Thomas floats.)

Summary
Thomas would rather bite off his tongue than ask. Would rather rely on his left hand for the rest of his life than ask. Even if he knows the only way to have Newt break him is to ask.
So it's a simple thing, really.
Thomas won't ask. He'll suck it up and live with it.
Easy.

Summary
The thing about Newt and Thomas is that neither of them are really that good at being moderate. It’s a little all or nothing, and when you spend four years on the nothing side, you tend to swing pretty hard into all when the chance finally presents itself.
Which is to say, of course, is that the confession of feelings, first kiss, and first time all happen within roughly an hour of each other, and not even in that order.

Summary
Newt possessed a doctorate in Thomas. Ache, longing, the art of staying silent while something inside him broke without sound—he had mastered all of it. Unfortunately, none of that expertise proved remotely useful now.
“I mean, if you really don’t want to—”
“No,” Newt interrupted at once.
Thomas blinked at him.
Newt cleared his throat, attempting to scrape some semblance of composure back together. “It’s fine,” he muttered. “I can be your Yoda, or whatever. We can… er. Practise.”or: Thomas and Newt practise kissing like it’s incidental, like fate doesn’t just lean in and laugh (I'm fate)
