December 1st, 2001

Newt was practically bursting with excitement. He kept bouncing on his feet and smiling.

"Relax," Thomas said softly as he grabbed Newt's arm. "You're gonna pass out."

"I am relaxed!" Newt snapped, his smile only disappearing for a second before coming right back.

Thomas smiled and pulled him slightly closer so he could press a soft kiss to his cheek. "You're cute."

When he opened his eyes Newt was gone. He could feel him struggling in his grasp.

"Turning invisible everytime I flirt with you isn't gonna make me stop."

Newt groaned and stopped struggling.

"Hey are you guys ready? Where's Newt?" El asked as she walked into the room. She was in her suit, dark blue pants and a top with yellow running up the sides. The most impressive part was the thick belt around her waist with the huge circular X in the middle.

"Here," Newt said as he appeared, his arm still being held by Thomas.

"You two are so fuckin weird," Kis exclaimed as she appeared from behind El.

Thomas swore that was the first time he'd seen wearing something with color. Her suit practically matched El's, she had the same belt. A belt that Newt and Thomas would soon have.

Kis tossed each of them a suit. "Put these on, you gotta look the part."

"Don't take too long!" El shouted as Newt and Thomas took off in a race toward the bathrooms.

Kis rolled her eyes. "Is X sure about this?"

El smiled as she watched the bathroom doors slam. "They'll be great and you know it."

Kis shook her head as the boys burst out in their new suits, the dark blue and yellow color matching the girl's.

Newt was grinning so hard, she was sure his face was gonna fall off.

Kis found herself smiling, she was happy to see her friend happy. Newt deserved this.

"Maybe it won't be too bad."

Thomas discreetly took Newt's hand as they walked back over to the girls, he threaded their fingers together, smiling brighter as he did.

"Okay, we're ready."

"Follow me." El grinned as she led the boys into the all familiar training room.

Xavier was sitting in there with Hank and a small group of kids dressed in the same suits as them.

The professor smiled when he saw them. "How are you boys?"

Newt tried to contain himself, putting on his regular "cool" exterior.

"I'm good X."

Thomas nodded in agreement. Newt dropped his hand to smoothen out his suit.

Xavier looked at Hank who gave hima curt nod and grabbed two boxes.

He handed one to Thomas and then one to Newt who looked like he was going to pass out.

Newt ripped his open like a little kid on Christmas. He let the box fall to the floor as he pulled out the belt that rested inside.

He looked at Thomas, grinning harder than he ever had in his life.

Thomas smiled softly at him, his heart warming at the sight of his overly happy boyfriend. "It looks good."

Newt nodded as he scrambled to put it on.

Thomas huffed a small laugh as he unwrapped his own belt. He clipped it around his waist before looking at Newt and smiling.

"You look good blondie."

Newt was smiling too hard to even speak. Thomas would have given anything to kiss the air out of his lungs in that moment.

Then Newt was flying into his arms, he threw his arms around his neck which almost resulted in knocking Thomas over with the force.

"Hey there." Thomas laughed as he wrapped his arms around Newt and spun him around a bit.

"I'm so happy Tommy," he whispered into his ear as he tightened his grip.

Thomas glanced at Kis and El over Newt's shoulder, they were smiling softly at each other, probably remembering when they got accepted onto the X-Men team.

When Newt finally let go he turned to Hank.
"I'm sorry for being a little shit all the time."

Hank huffed out a small laugh. "That you are, but I'm happy for you."

Thomas hooked his arm around Newt's back, kissing his temple softly. "I'm proud of you too."

Xavier clasped his hands together. "Well, I think we're done here, thank you everyone for coming. Newt and Thomas, I'll see you at training tomorrow morning."

"Thank you," Newt said as the professor passed by him to leave the room with Hank on his trail.

"Oh thank god they're gone." Newt let out a little breath of relief before grabbing Thomas hand and looking at the girls. "I'll see you two tomorrow but now, I really need to borrow Tommy."

"Keep it down!" Kis called after them as Newt practically dragged Thomas out of the training room and down the hall. He didn't stop moving until he got to his bedroom and even then he only paused briefly to push the door open.

Then Thomas was being pushed on the bed and Newt was crawling over him. He didn't waste any time pressing their lips together.

Newt kissed him desperately. Their belts hit together, making a weird noise that Newt ignored in favor of kissing Thomas harder.

"I was right," Newt said as he pulled away, panting slightly. "You look so fucking hot in that suit."

Thomas let out a surprised sounding laugh. "Really? That's what has you all worked up?"

Newt nodded as he dived back down for another kiss, pressing his lips hard against Thomas' and running his hand up and down his chest.

Thomas' stomach felt twisty, but in all honesty he was thanking X in his head for forcing him to be on the team. If all it took was a spandex suit to work Newt up, then so be it.

Thomas parted his lips to let Newt push his tongue inside. He let his hands trail into Newt's hair so he could tangle his fingers in the fluffy blondeness that he loved so much.

"Newt," Thomas whispered as he pulled away, laughing slightly at the confused look on Newt's face.

"Tommy you better hope whatever you're gonna say is worth my time because I was really enjoying kissing you there."

Thomas smiled softly and kept running his fingers through Newt's hair. "I think I want to have sex."

Newt's jaw dropped which just made Thomas laugh more.

     "Bloody hell Tommy," Newt muttered as he started trailing kisses down Thomas' jaw. "You sure?"

     Thomas hummed softly as he let his eyes close. Newt's kisses felt nice.

     "Tommy," Newt said again as he stopped kissing him. "I want you to be sure."

     "I trust you, like you trusted me."

     "This is a little different, sex isn't a life or death situat-"

     "Newt," Thomas said as he bumped their noses together. "I trust you, and I love you, so I want my first time to be with you."

     "Okay, question before we get this thing going," Newt piped up as he slightly sat up.

     Thomas had to hold back a groan. "Yeah?"

     "Have you ever like...ya know..." Newt scratched the back of his neck. "I'm trying to make this not awkward for you."

     "Well now you're just making it awkward."

     Newt rolled his eyes as he traced the curves of Thomas' stomach with his fingertips. Thomas could feel it through the suit, it sent chills all over his body.

     "Okay Tommy, have you ever had anything up there before?"

     Thomas flushed as he shook his head.

     Newt raised his eyebrow. "Nothing at all, like that includes your own finge-"

     "I said no!" Thomas shouted quickly, really not wanting Newt to go on with his list.

     "You're so precious, I can't handle you sometimes." Newt's face softened as his eyes flicked over Thomas' face. He had on an unreadable expression which was slightly freaking Thomas out.

     Thomas scrunched his face in confusion as his skin started tingling.

    "Newt? Why are you scared?"

    "I'm not!"

    "Shouldn't I be the ones who's scared? I'm the one losing my virginity."

     Newt's cheeks flushed red before he disappeared.

     Thomas groaned. "Newttttttt stop doing that!"

     "Then stop saying shit that embarasses me!"

     Thomas pouted in the direction that he hoped Newt's face was in. "I'm sorry."

     Newt reappeared after a second. "Fuck you, you know I do whatever you want when you give me that face."

     "Why are you scared?"

     "I don't wanna hurt you," Newt said softly as he avoided Thomas' gaze. "What if you hate it?"

     "Hey," Thomas whispered as he pecked Newt's lips again. "Stop worrying. I want this. We'll figure it out together, we always do."

     "Yeah okay." Newt smiled softly as he played with the collar of Thomas' suit.

     "Now come on, don't you wanna rip this tight ass thing off me?" Thomas asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

    Newt laughed at that as he grabbed a pillow and smacked Thomas in the face with it. "You're ridiculous."

     Thomas grinned and let his fingers tangle back in Newt's hair. "And you're sexy, I think you should fuck me now."

     Newt's eyes widened in amusement. "Since when do you talk like that?"

     "Since you won't man up and strip me."

     Newt glared at him before dipping his head down and biting his neck.

     "Ow! Newt!"

     Newt grinned as he sat up and started un zipping his suit. "Be lucky that's all I did."

     "Okay tough guy."

     Newt stopped unzipping the suit to lean down and softly kiss Thomas' lips.

     "Thank you," Newt whispered against his mouth before kissing him again.

     Thomas blindy reached his hands around to the back zipper on Newt's suit and continued pulling it down. It was really difficult to do from that angle while Newt's mouth was on his so Newt just let out a sigh and sat up to do it himself.

     "Is sex always this hard?" Thomas asked as he watched Newt pull the top part of the suit down.

     "No Tommy, we're just a mess."

     "That we are."

     "Bloody hell this thing is tight!" Newt yelped as he practically fell off the bed trying to get the bottom part off.

     Thomas stifled a laugh with his hand which Newt of course noticed.

     "You try and get yours off asshole!" Newt snapped as yanked one leg out. "Ha!"

     Thomas sat up and yanked down his own zipper. He tried to pull it off his arms, frowning when Newt proved to be right.

     "Goddamnit Hank," Thomas muttered as pulled one arm free.

     Newt made a victorious sound as he got his suit completely off, leaving him in just his boxers. "Getting that suit off was harder than getting back on the team."

     Thomas shook his head. "You're so dramatic."

     "Hurry up," Newt whined as he watched Thomas struggle with the bottom part.

     "You're annoying."

     "Not annoying, just turned on."

     Thomas threw a pillow at him before finally ripping off the suit.

     Before he could even drop it on the floor Newt was scrambling on top of him and assaulting his neck with his lips.

     Thomas let his eyes close as he tipped his head back.

     He felt Newt stop so he opened his eyes and looked at Newt with a confused expression. "You okay?"

     Newt nodded, a small smile appearing on his face. "I love you. I really love you Tommy. The only times I've said it I was in that fucked up dream land and the other time you were aslee-"

     "I wasn't asleep."

     Newt frowned and hit his chest. "Bastard, you ruined it."

     Thomas smiled and pecked his lips. "I love you too."

     "You know this is a first time for me too."

     "What?" Thomas asked as he cocked his head. He knew for a fact Newt was not a virgin.

     The look on Newt's face was so soft yet vulnerable, Thomas wanted to kiss the air out of his lungs.

     "I've never done it with someone I love before."

     And in that moment Thomas decided it was worth it. Every single horrible thing he'd been through, it was all worth it. Hell, he'd even do it all again if it got him here. He had someone who loved him.

     And Newt didn't even make fun of him when he finished embarrassingly fast.
