What is Love?(Newt x reader)

Chapter 18: Time flies.

YN POV

It's been 2 months since Anna came, she became a med-jack, she also started dating Minho, no surprise there.

A greenine came up last month his name is Chuck, he's about 12, he has brown curly hair and brown eyes. I felt very sorry for him when he came up, he's only a kid and he has to go through all of this. Newt and I both got really close to the boy, he's a sweet kid, a bit annoying but still sweet.

And now, like every month for the past two years, greenie day. Today it was Alby's turn to show the greenie around, which was a massive relief since greenies get annoying really easily with all of their questions.

Right now we were standing around the box waiting for it to come up, when it finally stopped the metal doors opened and Newt and Gally pulled open the other door. Gally then jumped in.

"Day one greenie, rise and shine." He said to the boy. He then got out and helped pull up the new greenie, pushing him onto the ground.

The boy suddenly jumped up and onto his feet and started running towards the maze doors.

"We've got a runner!" Zart yelled making all of us laugh.

I was about to start running after the boy but before I could he tripped over something and face planted into the ground.

"Ooo." The boys said.

Alby sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Put him in the slammer, let him cool off." He said. So two of the stronger boys went and picked him up and then carried him to the slammer.

After about an hour Alby decided to let him out and took him on the tour. Whilst Newt and I helped Zart in the gardens.

"You wanna go check on Alby? Make sure he doesn't kill the greenie." Newt asked.

"Sure, but you have to give me a piggy back there." I said.

"Ugh, fine." He replied. So I jumped onto his back and he started walking towards the two boys.

"Alby!" I shouted.

Alby turned to us and smiled, "Greenie meet YN and Newt, when I'm not around they're in charge." He says.

"Good thing you're always around then." Newt replied with a smile. He then turned towards the greenie, "For a second there I thought you had the chops to be a runner...Till you face planted." Newt said chuckling, I hit him upside the head.

"Don't be rude, the boy's probably klunking his pants already." I said, he just rolled his eyes at me, "Hey, I saw that." I said.

"You were meant to." He replied, I just smacked his head again. "Okay, ow." He said.

"Guys you're gonna scare the boy." Alby said.

"They already have." The greenie said making us all laugh.

"Anyway, we're gonna go back to work now." Newt said. "You gonna get off my back?" He asked looking up at me.

"Nope." I said making Newt sigh and turn around.

We went back to the gardens and worked for a couple hours before Alby called us for the bonfire.

And as usual we lit up the fire and went to sit down against one of the logs, this time the greenie joined me and Newt.

The greenie kept asking Newt questions about the maze so Newt sighed and said, "Trust me the maze is a dangerous place."

"We're trapped here aren't we?" The greenie asked.

"For the moment, but-" Newt turned around to face the greenie and then glanced towards the fire. "-See those guys? There by the fire? Those are the runners and that guy in the middle there, that's Minho, he's the keeper of the runners. And every morning when those doors open, they run the maze, mapping it, memorising it, trying to find the way out." Newt said.

"How long have they been looking?" The boy asked.

"2 years." Newt replied.

"And they haven't found anything?" The greenie asked.

"It's a lot easier said than done." There was a silence, "Listen" Newt said pointing upwards to silence the boy. "That's the maze, changing, it changes every night." He added.

"How's that even possible?" The greenie asked.

"You can ask the people who put us in here, if you ever meet the bastards." Newt replied. "Listen, the truth is, the runners are the only ones who really know what's out there, they're the strongest and the fastest of us all and it's a good thing too, because if they don't make it back before those doors close, then they're stuck out there for the night. And no one's ever survived a night in the maze." Newt explained.

"What happens to them?" The boy asked.

"Well we call them grievers, of course no ones ever seen one... and lived to tell about it. But they're out there." He said. "Right that's enough questions for one night, you're supposed to be the guest of honour. Come on, let me show you around." Newt added. He then turned to me, "You wanna come with us?" He asked.

"Nah I'm alright, you boys have fun." I replied. Newt then gave my cheek a quick kiss and stood up walking away with the greenie.

Minho came up to me after a while. "Hello YN." He said with his famous smirk plastered on his face.

"Hello Minho." I replied.

"So how's the greenie?" He asked sitting beside me.

"He's alright, asks a lot of questions, Newt seems to like the guy." I replied.

Minho then touched his chest in mock offence, "He's not replacing me is he?" He asked.

"Of course not, you're his best friend." I replied.

Minho was about to come up with a witty response when we suddenly heard cheering. We both glanced to where the sound came form and saw that Gally made the boy fight him in his little fight circle. We then stood up and ran towards the fight, I went and stood next to Newt whilst Minho stood next to Anna.

"I leave the two of you alone for 10 minutes and you get into trouble?" I asked Newt.

"Well it's not exactly our fault, Gally pushed a boy into the greenie and then they started arguing and now we're here, Gally's about to fight him." He replied making me sigh.

"What should I call you then? Shank?" I heard Gally shout at the boy, the boy fell into his trap and ran towards Gally, Gally then moved and pushed the boy over making him hit his head on the ground.

The greenie said something that I didn't understand, until he shouted, "I remember my name! It's Thomas!" There was a silence for a couple of seconds but then Alby came out of the circle.

"Thomas!" He yelled, making everyone cheer for the boy.

And with that Alby yelled at all of us to go to sleep. So Newt and I headed off to our room.

We both got changed and laid down.

"That was eventful." I said.

"It was." Newt replied, we both then turned and looked at each other the two of us then both leaned in and our lips met in the middle. We kissed for a couple of minutes until Newt's tong swiped across my bottom lip making me open my mouth. We continued to make out until we both pulled away and just looked at each other.

"That was nice." Newt said.

"Yeah." I replied, I then put my head into the crook of his neck and closed my eyes. "Night Newt, I love you."

"Night, I love you too." He replied and wrapped his arms around me.
