Newt POV
I follow her with my eyes while she makes her way back to the med-hut, holding a fresh box with supplies. Thomas makes his way over and hits me soflty with the bucket in his hand. He was helping me finish some tasks in the garden after him and the other runners (Minho, Ben and Luke) came back from their rounds in the maze.
"Hey, Newt. Want to help me get some fertilizer instead of staring at our med-jack?"
I blush as I realize I had been caught. I give him a quick glance and take the bucket from his hand, walking in the direction of the forest.
"You coming or what, mate?" I try to sound cocky, but fail miserably.
Thomas laughs and quickly follows behind me. He makes a small sprint to try and catch up with me. After a few seconds, he is walking next to me. An annoying smirk attached to his face.
"What?" I ask, uncomfortable because of his stare.
"You know staring is rude, right?"
"I wasn't"
"Yeah keep telling yourself that, Newt"
"Just shut up will you, Tommy? I'm trying to get back before dark."
He keeps his mouth shut, to my suprise, and we arrive at the spot. I kneel down, picking up the shovel. Suddenly we hear a twig break. I jerk my head up, taking in my surroundings. When I don't see anything I go back to filling the bucket. A scream comes from behind me and I quickly turn around. My eyes widen at the sight, Thomas struggeling underneath Luke. Without thinking I charge at them, pulling Luke off. I get on top of him, but he hits me in the jaw and I fall of. He is now on top of me, while hitting me in the face. I feel myself slowly drifting out of consciousness. Suddenly I don't feel Lukes weight on me anymore and everything goes dark.
Your POV
I was resting in front of the med-hut, enjoying the last rays of sun, when I hear Thomas yelling from the opening in the forest. I stand up, running in his direction. As I get closer I see that he is holding someone in his arms. A gasp leaves my mouth when I realize that it's Newt. I tell Thomas to follow me into the med-hut. We start running inside and I yell at Jeff to prepare a bed. I run into the supply room, trying to be as fast as possible. Thomas has already placed Newt on the bed, when I come back. I feel his pulse, sighing in relieve when I feel that it's strong. Newts eyes start to open. I examine his face. It's bloody, with cuts everywhere. Whoever did this was sure not planning on keeping him alive.
"This is going to sting a bit" I say, while moving a cotton ball with alcohol to his face.
A sharp breath leaves his mouth, but he doesn't complain. I tell Thomas that he can leave because dinner has already started. When he asks me if Newt's okay, I nod and he leaves the room. Newt doesn't need stitches, but I don't want him to leave until tomorrow. Who knows what other injuries he got.
"What happened?" I ask, after bandaging up his last cut.
"It's Luke, we were getting fertilizer in the woods when he attacked Thomas. I got him off, but he was too strong and everything went black."
"Well, you got lucky. Luke is quit strong, he could've hurt you even more"
"You think I'm not strong?" He asks, a playful smile on his lips.
"I didn't say that." A laugh escapes my mouth.
"You know, I could've easly won, right?" The smile doesn't leave his lips.
"Yeah, sure. Here take this." I give him a painkiller.
He takes the glass filled with water out of my hand and swallows the pill. Newt tries to get up, but I put a hand on his chest and push him back down.
"Not so fast, handsome. I want to keep you here until tomorrow to make sure that you're totally fine. Understand?"
"Fine."
He looks at my hand that is still on his chest. The door flies open and Jeff comes in with two plates filles with food. He looks at my hand on Newts chest. Jeff gives us a smirk, putting the plate on the table next to the bed. I quickly take my hand off and clear my throath.
"Sorry, I didn't know I was interrupting something."
Newt laughs and goes to sit up straight.
"Don't worry, mate." He gives Jeff a wink
I shoot a quick glance at Newt and then look back at Jeff.
"We weren't doing anything."
"Alright, alright. I'm going to leave so you guys can go back to your thing."
An annoyed groan leaves my throath, while Jeff stands up. He winks at Newt and Newt winks back. Ugh, boys! Jeff gives us a quick look before closing the door. I sigh, standing up to take the plates off the table. I give one two Newt and he moves to the side of the bed, so I can sit next to him. At first I'm hesitant because of what happend just a few minutes earlier, but I give in. You're overthinking this way too much, I tell myself. I take a few bites of my dinner before Newt breaks the silence.
"You can put you're hand back on my chest, I know you secretly want to" He says, while laughing.
"Oh, shut up" I give him a little push.
Newt keeps laughing while eating his dinner and I join in after a few minutes. I take his plate when he is done, standing up to place it on the table. After that I go and sit next to him again.
"Are you sure you're not hurt anywhere else?" I ask, looking up to meet his gaze.
"I'm fine, love. I think he only wanted tp hurt my handsome face."
I lift my hand up to touch one of the bandages on his face. He takes a sharp breath, but doesn't stop me.
"Well, you're 'handsome' face should be back to normal soon enough" I say, while standing up.
"Where are you going?" A frown appeares on his face.
"To my hammock, the sun went down hours ago"
"Well, you can... uhm... stay here... maybe? Only if you want of course"
"There is only one bed made" I say, stating the obvious.
"We fit in here before, why is this any difference?" He pats the space next to him on the bed.
"Fine, why not?"
I lay down, putting my head on his chest so I don't fall of. Sleep washing over me almost immediatly.
AN: A request/idea from Jettvl This one is a bit longer, I just couldn't stop writing. Some of the things don't match the movie/novel. I know the beginning goes kinda fast, but I wanted to focus on what happened in the med-hut. I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to vote and leave a comment! (Requests are still open, just go to the first chapter)
