A/N: look I just can't write I have dyslexia and hardly passed English so I'm sorry for the poor grammar let me know if anything needs to be fixed. It's so bad I'm soo sorry for posting this. I really wanted to write a Thomas x MC fic as there is a severe lack of them out there and that's not ok. If you want to be tagged let me know 😃
Pairing: Thomas Mendez x MC (Roze Day)
Summary: Roze and Thomas finally find a free moment to themselves. Confessions and made. Mistakes happen.
Glass of wine in hand, Roze smiled as she curled up next to Thomas on his couch. the kids were with the resident babysitter levi on top of finally having some alone time they were also celebrating winning the court case against guy.
"I can't believe he almost won, he is as manipulative in court as he was in a relationship." she smiled absentmindedly as she swirled what was left of her wine.
"good thing you're dating one of the best lawyers in the state then isn't it" he joked back at her in an attempt to lighten the mood.
she had officially been dating Thomas for about a month now but hadn't told anyone including Luz or Lucy about them. they were taking things slow giving Thomas the time he needed to move on from the ghosts of the past. Roze was understanding and was been patient as possible with him.
she curled up to him and smiled against his chest moments like these were like heaven to her and she wouldn't trade them for anything in the world (well maybe Lucy)
"you know what?" she mumbled as she started dozing off to sleep. the way he held her as he stroked her hair made her feel the safest she ever had and made her almost fall asleep there and then.
a million thoughts rushed through his head suddenly. did she mean it? I mean she's half asleep she could just have not meant it maybe she was just dreaming? what would he tell Lulu? would she be ready to have a mother figure back in her life?
all of the thoughts stopped as he opened his mouth to respond. he knew he couldn't lie to her he had to tell her that he loved her.
he cut himself off realising what he just said and Roze's eyes snapped open as she looked up at him realising what he just said. She opened her mouth to respond but no words came to mind she wanted to say something, anything to wipe the look of horror off of his face. Quickly, he stood up, grabbing the wine glasses and using them as an excuse to escape, he walked in to the kitchen before Roze could stop him.
Roze quickly regained her composure as she jumped up and ran after him.
as she stepped in to the kitchen her heart shattered at the sight in front of her.
Thomas was sat on the floor leaning against the counters, head in his hands, crying.
she opened her mouth but no words escaped her. instead, she walked up to him and sat down beside him, wrapping her arms around him as her own tears started to fall.
they sat like that for what felt like hours until Roze muttered "I'm so sorry Thomas I shouldn't have said that I lov-" she cut her self off realising her poor choice of words.
for the first time since he slumped down of the floor Thomas looked up and met Roze's gaze and he smiled at her.
"no don't you dare start feeling sorry for yourself you have done nothing wrong. I'm glad you told me how you feel and I'm glad you feel the same way as I do. i messed up badly I'm so sorry you must think I am still hung up on her, that I'm never getting over her. I understand if you don't want to do this anymor-"
she cut him off In the only way she knew how. she planted a soft kiss on his lips the taste of salt still fresh. all too soon the kiss ended and Thomas rested his forehead on hers.
"I love you Thomas Mendez and I would wait a lifetime to be with you so if you need time then just let me know I'm sorry if I was moving too fast."
"I.. I love you too." he said as he stood up and took Roze's hand and pulled her up with him and pulled her in to his arms. And kissed her again this time more fiercely.
"I love you Roze don't you ever forget that."
