Flames // Newt x Reader \\

(Y/N)

I dragged Newt to the cafeteria to get our food from Frypan.
"Hi!" He said as he handed us our food, "you excited to work with me today at lunch?"
"Yup!" I replied.  I was working with Gally on my hut this morning. Ugh Gally. Hope he doesn't hate me. I sat down on an empty table next to Newt. Alby joined us a couple seconds later.
"So..." he said prompting us. "How was you guys' sleep?"
"Come one Alby! Really? (Y/N) here had a nightmare, and I was comforting her." Newt explained.

I just looked down at my food.

"Ok. Wait, (Y/N)? You remembered your name?" I nodded. "Everyone! Meet (Y/N)! Our newest glader!" He smiled at me and I smiled back as everyone cheered. 

"Well Newt, I need you today, but tomorrow I don't so Greenie can try out being a track hoe with you then. Oh and also tonight I want you to take her to the name wall."
"Ok Alby!" Newt said excitedly. After Alby left he turned to me, "Ok, so what job are you hoping for?"
"Hmmm I don't really know, I want to be a good cook, but maybe I'm not, so possibly a track hoe with you!" I smiled eagerly at Newt. He smiled back and said, "I can't wait for tomorrow!"
I finished off my food and told him, "I gotta go, Gally will get annoyed at me if I'm late." I rolled my eyes and said bye bye then headed off.

"Hey Greenie. Hope you're strong, being a builder means you need to be." Gally said to me flexing his muscles so I made a face at him.
"Just tell me what to do Gally." I told him
"You see those boxes over there? Just try and move three of them across to here." He winked at me. I looked over at the boxes and saw the boys struggling with them.

"Oh and, for future references shank, my name is (Y/N). Not Greenie." I said then walked over

"Hey boys! Are these boxes heavy?" They all nodded at me so I said to myself, "Ok then. Be prepared to be made fun of." I bent down to pick one up, bracing myself for it to be really heavy, I picked it up and it was fine, yes it was still heavy but nothing I can't handle. I thought that I'd just picked up a light one, so I swapped one of the boys who was really struggling to hold the box he was carrying, "hey do you wanna swap? I think mine is kinda light." He nodded at me to out of breath to answer properly, he put his box back on the floor and went to pick up the other one, I picked his up and realised that they were almost equal. I started to get hot from the sun so I took off Newt's hoodie and tied it around my waist.

Twenty minutes later, and I had moved five boxes from their original place over to where Gally told me to put them. He told me to do three but I took over for the boys who were really struggling.
"What do you want me to do now Gally?" I asked him. He looked me up and down so I snapped my fingers in front of his face "Hey! My eyes are up here shank!"
"Did you really move those five boxes by yourself?" He asked me clearly sceptical. "Cause if you did, then you can have a break. You've done all you need to do." He looked at his watch, it's lunch in around half an hour, so you've been relieved early."
"Ok! Can I talk to you at lunch though? I have some ideas on how to help the boys who are struggling to carry the boxes." I got a 'sure' in response so I skipped happily over to Newt.

I snuck up behind him then jumped onto his back taking us both tumbling down to the ground in a hysterical laughing fit. After a couple minutes of just laughing we had gathered a crowd of track hoe's just looking at us, possibly concerned.

"I see Gally let you off early. That's rare!" Newt told me. I sat on a box and looked at him tears still in my eyes from laughing so much.
"Do you want your hoodie back?" I asked hoping he'd say no.
"Not yet, I might need it back for later though." I nodded at him. We continued to talk about nothing in particular until it was time for me to go and help Frypan in the kitchen. "Bye bye Newt! I'll see you in ten!" I said sprinting off to help fry cook. "Ahhh! Greenie! You're here! Just in time." He said handing me an apron. "So, I just need you to cut up those chicken breasts and then bring them over to me so I can fry them. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after, chicken is full of bacteria when it's raw." I nodded at him and started cutting up the chicken. I finished them in almost no time at all. So I put it in Frypan's frying pan (a slight tongue twister I know) and then he showed me what to do next. Ok so I want you to get that big bowl full of water, put it over the fire and then add eight and a half cups of rice." I did as I was told and put the rice in, however on the last half a cup, the now boiling hot water splashed up onto my hand and burnt it! Oow! Holy shuck that hurt!
"Um... Frypan... oops?" I said showing him my burnt hand. Not letting on how much it really hurt
"Oh. My. God. (Y/N). ARE YOU OK?!" He asked, quite stressed.
"I'm fine Frypan honestly. I'll head over to the med-jacks now." I said, hoping to reassure fry that I was fine. I left the kitchen saying 'see you in a bit fry!' As I went.

"Hey Clint? Jeff? Either of you there?" I started to catch onto everyone's names. Slowly, but I was.
Clint poked his head around the corner, "oh hey girlie! What brings you here? I didn't expect to see you till tomor..." he trailed off as he caught sight of my slightly burnt hand, "oh dearie me! We haven't had one of these in a while! Come, come. Follow me, I need you to run your hand under this cold water ok? It's going to sting but it will feel better in the long run I promise." I did as Clint said.
"That hurts more than the burn itself!" I told Clint, my eyes starting to fill ever so slightly with tears, but still not moving my hand from under the water.

After like, five minutes of that, Clint sat me down on one of the beds and started bandaging up my hand when we heard someone running towards the door.
"(Y/N)? (Y/N)? Are you okay?!" It was Newt.
"I'm in here Newt!" I called out to him. He rushed into the room to make sure I was okay.
"Holy shuck! What happened greenie?"
"I'm fine Newt. Just some boiling water hit my hand," I paused, "when I say it like that it sounds worse than it actually was..."
"Welp greenie, you're free to go!" Clint said.
"Come one greenie! We can finally get some food!"
