The Runner & The Glader(Newt x Reader)

8)Discovery.

~Newt's POV~

I got so sick I eventually passed out. I feel so bad due to the fact I couldn't be there with y/n. My head felt like shit. "Where is she?" I simply asked standing up. I didn't even wait for the answer as I knew where she was. I watched as she prepared herself to go into the maze. "Babe? What are you doing?" I panicked watching her throw the backpack on tying her black combat boots. "I'm coming with you." My heart pounded as I grabbed a backpack. I was ready to go in. I felt a hand place on my chest as I looked into her eyes.

Her y/e/c eyes were bloodshot. Pupils were blown. Bags under her eyes. Y/n was tired. I placed my hand on hers that rested on my chest. I looked down to her pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Bubs?" Minho's voice interrupted both of us per usual. I chuckled pulling y/n into my embrace. "I'm going with you guys." Thomas and Minho headed to the maze as we walked to catch up with them.

       ~In The Maze~

As we took a break I started laughing as y/n's sunglasses slipped off of her face. When you're a runner they prepare you with sunglasses in your backpack. Hers was one of the best. Name branded although of course I couldn't remember who it was. She was beautiful. I just wish I could see inside her head. She refused to talk about the nightmare she had, I couldn't force her to talk.

      We sat down for lunch as y/n wandered away profusely. I hate that she does that but I couldn't stop her. "You know Thomas if you wanna ask her out just do it." My eyes snapped up hoping they meant whatever her name was. "Y/n's in love with Newt it's pretty obvious." I got up while making my way over to them. "What are you guys talking about?" Minho chuckled. "Thomas has a crush on your girl." He said pointing out that y/n was running back. "Bloody touch her and you won't have hands mate." I smiled while y/n ran right into me.

      "We don't have time just run. Now!" She panicked. I felt her tiny sweaty hands grab mine intwining our fingers while running. I heard Tommy and Minho's foot steps beside her. All my feelings burst into my head as we ran like she told us. Tommy's a good guy and I would truly follow him anywhere. I know if I were to ever die...Tommy would be the one to keep y/n and I's memories alive. He would never leave her side. Minho was her best friend if she ever died on me I know Minho would be the one to keep me in line. That man loves her so much it makes me feel like she truly is protected.

I think my jealousy has finally faded. I realized they were all put her to protect her while I'm here to love her. My heart lifted from jealousy to admiration for the boys running behind me. As we kept running turning the corner Tommy hit his arm against the wall looking as if it was dislocated y/n's eyes widened. "Tommy listen. This is going to be painful but I need you to keep running." She half shouted to him from behind her looking over her shoulder just slightly enough to see him holding his arm in pain. We couldn't stop but I felt the urge to help him grow strong.

"Y/n." I sternly said as we kept running through the maze turning the last two corners to get out. "I-" she cut me off stopping dead in her tracks. As her determined eyes met mine she grabbed my shirt tugging me towards while crashing her lips to mine. Her lips were warm and inviting. I'll never forget the first time I kissed her when I first came to the glade. "We're going to make it." I know y/n felt the need to cry so I grabbed her face engulfing it with both my hands. "Wipe your teary eyes. Princesses don't cry baby." Every time she cried over the years I would tell her the same thing. I stuck by it. She's a princess I promise I'll get her out of here in general.

Within seconds we're running again heading to the exit when I heard the horrifying sounds of the door closing as we turned the last corner. Y/n and I ran through the exit collapsing on each other just happy to be in each other's embraces. We waited for Minho and Tommy. My eyes scanning over everyone around us the horror hit me as I saw them running towards the door while it was almost shut. My heart sunk praying they'll make it I pulled y/n into my chest shielding her eyes away from the maze. Minho would scold me to death if I let her watch this.

My heart rate quickened. My breathing hitched. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I had to be strong for my love. She needs me the most right now. What am I if I cry? I'm second in command. Pull yourself together mate. I kept repeating over and over too busy worrying about my thoughts repeating I realized y/n knocked out right into my arms. She must be exhausted. My poor baby. I couldn't get up otherwise I'll wake her so I asked Gally for a couple of things. "Gally can you get us a blanket and pillow?" I half shouted scared she'll wake up. "I'll get it!" Minho shouted back. Wait! Minho! They made it. Oh thank the god.

I waited for Minho to come back with the pillow and blanket. I'm kind of tired so maybe I'll nap with her. Shit second in command I really shouldn't. I picked her up as gently as I could walking to my hut laying her on the bed gently brushing the hairs out of her face while you could hear her quiet breathing. I walked outside running around barking orders at people because no one can bloody do anything right. "Newt!" Thomas yelled from across the field. "What is it?" Running up to him I didn't even have to ask my question twice before I knew what was going on.

"Y/n....love....what are you doing?" I slowly walked up to her. I saw the look in her eyes. She's finally gone mad being in this place. "Please...y/n..." I croaked out watching her crawl up the wall. "I found a way out Newt."
