"Minho! You damn son of a bitch! Get out here!" Thomas screamed, Newt right behind him as he shut the door gently, the opposite of what Thomas was doing. The blonde tried to pull him back and calm him, but Thomas wasn't having any of it.

The boy in question walked out of his room, seemingly unfazed by the outburst of his friend. He believed he'd done something good, sending the cops after Newt, but of course the blondes boyfriend would highly disagree. Thomas was enraged, shoving Minho to the ground before getting on top of him.

"How dare you do that?!" He yelled, his hands going to Minho's neck as he pressed down. Newt's eyes widened, and he rushed over to get Thomas away from the other boy. He pushed Thomas to the side, and the older stumbled before gaining his footing again.

"I don't understand. Why? You're supposed to be my friend and yet you call the cops on my boyfriend." He pleaded.

"Your boyfriend is a dealer. And he's still not good for you. So I'm sorry if I'm being a friend and looking out for you." Minho's voice was calm, the contrary of Thomas', but it did not seem to calm the other as he only stared between Newt and Minho.

"I'm not good for him?" Came the blondes voice suddenly, and the other two both glanced at him to see where he'd go with his sentence.

"I might not be perfect, but must I remind you that I bloody saved his life the other day?" Newt asked, more confused and disappointed than anything. He didn't seem mad at Minho, he was just visibly upset. Thomas nodded along with Newt, giving him a slight smile, but his friend had seemingly lost his composure.

"He doesn't deserve you, Thomas. And it's only because you think you're in love, that you fail to see it." Minho got up, wincing slightly when his neck made a snapping sound, but he quickly composed himself before Thomas said another word.

"Maybe he doesn't deserve me. But you know what? I don't exactly deserve him either." He remarked, grabbing onto Newt's hand for effect.

"You know what?" Minho started.

"Newt's really changed you a lot, and not for the better as far as I can see." Newt decided to step in again, not because he disagreed with everything Minho said, but because he could tell that his lover was getting beyond angered, and he wanted to avoid another physical fight, or the beginning of one.

"Look, Minho. I understand where you're coming from. And Tommy, even you should be able to see what he means. But that being said, I know I may not deserve him and never will, but that's not gonna stop me from seeing him." Thomas' heart warmed at his genuine words, but it faded as quick as it came, and his frustration and built up anger returned.

He stormed past the two other boys, going into his room before slamming the door shut, an attempt at making a statement that seemed to work. Newt winced, and Minho jumped despite having seen it. The blonde shared a look with the other that was left in the room, but Minho quickly shook his head in dismay before going into what Newt assumed was his own room.

The blonde sighed, going to Thomas' door. He contemplated on knocking or barging in, choosing the later as he stepped inside. Newt saw Thomas running around the room, a bag on his bed and a mess besides it.

"What're you doing?" Slipped from his lips before he could stop himself, and he shut the door behind him as he approached Thomas.

"Packing." Was the answer his boyfriend gave as he continued moving around frantically for all sorts of things that he had listed in his mind.

"Isn't that a bit drastic?" Newt questioned carefully, but he only got a shrug in response.

"Tommy." He said, no answer to be heard from the other boy.

"Tommy!" He tried again, his voice raised to get Thomas' attention, but it failed.

"Thomas!" Thomas froze midway, coming to a complete halt before he turned to Newt. The blonde was glad it had worked, as he hadn't exactly thought of another way in case it didn't.

"It's not drastic. Just don't wanna stay, is all." Newt crossed his arms over his chest, trying really hard not to laugh. Thomas was clearly not thinking properly, and if he just stood back and did, he would notice how ridiculous this all was.

"I'm ready to move, Newt." The boy walked over to sit on Thomas' bed, placing a hand on his cheek as he rested the elbow on his knee, sighing.

"Gonna run cause you and Minho argued?" Thomas had a small smile on his face, but he shook his head anyway to Newt's question.

"Gonna run cause I wanna be somewhere else." He replied, but Newt didn't buy it.

"You should stay. Ash lives here. And Minho's your best friend."

"Was." Thomas corrected, and Newt bit down on his tongue at the harshness.

"Don't be like that. He's looking out for you." Thomas snapped.

"By what? Getting my boyfriend arrested? Why the hell are you siding with him?!" He shouted, aware that the raise of his voice was scaring Newt a little, as the blonde had looked away anxiously.

"I never said I was siding with him. Of course I don't wanna get arrested. That doesn't mean I don't see the point he's trying to make." Newt whispered, afraid of Thomas getting more angry at him. When he saw that Thomas had stopped with everything, he got up, wrapping his arms around the boy from behind as he swayed them around.

"You can stay with me, love. But I want you to talk it all through with him properly, and don't ruin your friendship just cause I'm in the picture." Thomas sighed, clearly not entirely up for the idea, but agreeing to it because Newt wanted him to. And he'd do just about anything for his boyfriend. A while ago it would've been a major disadvantage for him, but not now.

Newt turned Thomas' body around, pressing their hips together before he kissed him, and Thomas immediately melted into it and responded, his arms instinctively going around the blondes neck. His younger boyfriend smiled, his hands still pressed firmly into Thomas' hips before he pulled away, their foreheads still pressed against each other.

"Can we go now?" Thomas asked, already clutching his bag that he'd packed with one hand and a Charmander Pokémon stuffed animal in his other. Newt eyed it suspiciously, and Thomas caught on.

"Relax. He won't replace you." The blonde laughed, nodding as he took it from Thomas' grasp to hold it himself.

"How come I've never seen it before?"

"Kept it hidden." A blush was visible on Thomas' face, and he looked down in a childlike manner out of embarrassment.

"Course you did. But it's cute." Thomas beamed when he heard his response, and a small and barely audible giggle left his lips before he took his stuffed animal back.

"Now, talk to Minho. Then we can go to mine." The older boys smile immediately faltered, but he nodded along nevertheless as he dragged himself out into the living room.

"You're lucky I love you." He mumbled under his breath, and Newt kissed his cheek.

"Love you too." Thomas rolled his eyes, both of them sitting on the couch with Charmander on Thomas' lap.

"Minho!" He shouted, and the other emerged seconds later with a scowl on his face.

Yayyy a boring chapter. Anyway I'm trying to figure out my updating schedule again. I'm thinking something like one week I do The Devil Within on Thursdays, and then the Thursday after I update Sinner and then go back and forth between the two Newtmas fanfics. But a lot seem to like The Devil Within so I don't know if I wanna do that. But Sinner would take Lurk's slot when it's over and ahhh I don't know what to do.
