I woke up surprisingly next to, more on top of, the warm body of Newt. Sleeping in a hammock with someone is weirdly comfortable when the hammock is big enough. One of his arms was wrapped around my waist and the other was behind his head, normally he would have been awake by now; up and doing jobs around the Glade. He looked so peaceful and cute when he slept, i couldn't wake him, besides he needed rest. I've noticed that ever since Alby got stung, he hasn't slept much, everything, and everyone has been pressuring him to become some amazing leader when, honestly, he isn't even sure if he could do it.

I laid back down and rested my head on his chest, thinking about last night, and what Thomas and I were talking about. I knew I wanted to talk to Teresa at some point today, but it could wait until later; right now, I was just too comfy and liked the warmth of Newt. That was until I felt him shift slightly beneath me and take a deep breath, i looked up at him to see the boy running his fingers through his wavy, messy hair and then rubbing his eyes. "Well, hello down there..." He smiles down once he noticed i was awake.

"Good morning," I smiled back, as i sat up and looked down at him, "How'd you sleep?"

"Surprisingly good..." He said as he adjusted so he could sit up, accidentally rocking the hammock, unintentionally knocking me off so i slide onto the ground. I let out an amused huff as i hit the ground, my legs in front of me, hands either side of me, flat on the ground, "Aw, sorry, Love." Newt chuckled as he leant forward and gave me a small peck on the cheek, i felt my face turn hot and the feeling returned to my stomach.

"I-.. I-.." I stutter as I look up him, "We..." I stumbled over my words, flustered, "We should probably get up, it's way past our wake-up time..." I say as i look out into the Glade, the place was buzzing with the boys getting their woke done for the day. Newt reached down tilted my chin towards him as he leant down to me, a small smile graced his face.

"Or..." He dragged out, "We could just stay here..." I leant into his touch as a cheeky smile graced my face, i reached up slowly and placed my hand atop of where his was on my cheek. I then slyly slid my hand onto his wrist and gripped it, "Hey-" Newt let out once he knew what i was doing. I yanked on his wrist and pulled him forward and off the hammock - though i didn't mean for what happened next to happen. He landed on top of me, a laugh escaping his lips as a small groan escaped mine, a quick pain shot through my back, but it was gone as soon it was there. Newt pushed himself up into a push up position, his hands either side of my face, his eyes drifted all over my face as mine did to him.

Our eyes flickered to each other's lips, a grin graced Newts face as he slowly leant down to my face, connecting our lips. So soft and gentle, our lips moved in sync. He moved down into a plank position, so he wasn't staying up on his hands. My hand made its way to cup cheek as we continued, this kiss was longer than our other, probably because it was so slow. Newt pulled away first, he propped himself back up as he looked down at me, "I lo-"

"Hey, are you guys-" My head snapped to the entrance of the Homestead, as did Newts, when a voice interrupted Newt. It was Gally. "Whoa..." He breathed as he saw the two of us together, he began to point between Newt and I as he spoke, "Are you two like... A-"

"What is it, Gally?" Newt says as he stands up and offers me his hand, which i gladly take, he pulls me up while looking at Gally. Once I'm up fully another pain shot through my back causing me to grimace slightly and place my hand on my back; though i don't think anyone noticed.

Gally however, when i looked up was looking at me, i looked down at his gaze. He definitely saw that. "I was just wondering where you two were, since you are mean to be awake. Chuck said that you two were still sleeping."
