Newt imagines (Newt X reader)

Just a girl

Your POV

     "You are just taking adventage of the fact that you're a girl!"

     "I'm so not! I've been working my ass off for the past three hours! You have just been staring at me, doing absolutely nothing!"

     "I'm the keeper! That's my job!"

Me and Gally have been arguing for the past 20 minutes. A fight which he started! It all started when I offered to help the builders this morning. I don't really have my own job, but I'm cool with it. I like helping everyone around here. After an hour or three of working non-stop I sat down, taking a quick break and of course Gally noticed this. I was always the person he yelled at when he needed to let out his frustrations. "He is just stressed, don't get worked up about it" is what Alby used to say. Normally I just ignore it and don't react, but this time I've had enough. 

    "Go do something else! You're just a girl, we don't need you here! In fact you're only slowing us down. Go to the kitchen and make yourself useful!"

A gasp escapes my mouth. Oh no, he didn't! He looks at me with an amused look, knowing that his comment got to me. 

     "You piece of-!!!"

     "Wow, wow, wow, what's going on here?"

A soothing British accent filled my ears. Newt comes up from behind me and puts his hand on my back in an attempt to calm me down. Me and him have become really close since I came up in the box 7 months ago. We're not dating, but we're not just friends either. 

     "You're little girlfriend here is slacking" He points an accusing finger in my direction. 

     "I sat down for five shucking seconds!"

     "You're slowing us down! The only reason that you haven't been banished is because Alby needs you to keep the boys in line! None of them like you, they just want to get in your pants!"

Gally has come really close, his body only a few inches a way from mine. His words hit me like daggers, going deeper the longer he keeps talking. 

     "Gally, shut your bloody mouth! Don't you dare talk to her like that!"

Newt came to stand in front of me, now seperating me from Gally. He uses his hand to push me backwards, making room for him. I can see his eyes for a brieve moment. They look dark, filled with anger and aggression. Something I have never seen before. Gally noticed it too and took a step back, but his anger didn't fade away. 

     "Oh, so you're going to protect her! We all know you want the same thing as the others and don't try to deny it!"

Newt closes his right hand, making a fist. I take his arm. Rule number 2: never hurt another glader. He wasn't going to get in trouble because of me. Newt doesn't say anything, but doesn't take his eyes of Gallys either. His breathing gets louder and quicker which makes me worry. Soon, he wouldn't be able to control himself anymore and I decide to do something before that happens. I take a step forward so my chest almost hits his back. I put my mouth next to his ear and whisper. 

     "Breath, Blondie. Please, just breathe." My tone sounds desperate even if I try not to.

It seems to help. His shoulders start to relax and his breathing begins to slow. He turns around and takes my hand. We were about to walk away when we hear Gally again. 

     "That's what I thought!"

This sends Newt over the edge. He lets go and turns back around. Walking to Gally, his whole body moving in pure rage.

     "No, Newt!"

But I'm to late. Newts fist is already connected to Gallys jaw and Gallys body hits the ground. 

     "If I see you talking to her like that ever again, I swear I will bloody end you!"

Newt turns around, walking into the direction of his hut. I follow him, trying to catch up, but even with his limp he is faster than me. The door shuts right in front of my nose and I knock, first quietly than louder. 

     "Newt?" 

No answer.

     "Newt?"

The door flies open and he walks out. 

     "I have to talk to Alby" That's all he says.

     "I know."

It's not that he likes to spend a night in the pit, but he respects Alby and the rules way to much to not turn himself in. I grab his hand, squeezing it.

     "Thank you" I say quietly. 

    "Everything for you, Love. He should respect you, as should everyone else."

    "I don't deserve you" 

I give him a kiss on his cheek and we make our way to Alby. When we arrive it looks like Alby was already waiting on us with Gally at his side. He gives me a smirk. That piece of klunk! This isn't over yet!

     "Alby, I swear I was just going to-" Newt starts

     "I know, Newt. No need to explain, but you know the punishment for your actions."

 Newt nods, not arguing with Alby. He knows it is no use, the rules are the one thing that hold us toghether and should be respected. Gallys smirk quickly dissapears from his face. He is clearly not satisfied. What else did he expect? 

     "I'll pick you up at sundown."

Alby walks away, Gally following directly behind him. Newt lets go of my hand and starts to make his way back to the gardens, probably to finish his tasks for the day. I don't stop him and even if I did I wouldn't know what to say. 

~time skip~

The sun hits the glade for one last moment and then dissapears behind the walls. I think about Newt, he should be in the pit right now. No one is allowed to visit, but 5 minutes can't hurt. I take a detour through the woods so nobody can notice me. Klunk! Someone is guarding the pit. I try to get closer and hide behind a tree. A plan comes in my head. I throw a stone behind me making the guard jump of the sudden sound, I thought he would leave his post and check it out, but it doesn't work. This is useless. There is only one option left and to be honest I don't really mind doing it. I make my way to the homestead, looking for Gally. After a few second I see him talking to Alby. Perfect. I make my way to them, hitting Gally on the same place Newt did. 

     "(Y/N)?! To the pit now! This is unacceptable!"

I turn around and walk in the direction of the pit. Alby follows quickly, after making sure that Gally is alright. A smile forms on my face, but I can't let Alby notice. When we arrive Alby explains want happened and the guard opens the pit. I jump inside, earning a confused look from Newt. Alby walkes away, but gives me a smile and a wink before leaving. I knew Alby was going to catch on. I would never hurt another glader and he knows that. Newt noticed the smile too and looks at me. 

    "Pretty comfortable here" I joke

     "You shoudn't have done that. It's going to be a long night"

     "I don't care" I say, while sitting next to him. "Gally deserved it anyways"

    "I hope you made the punch worth it, love?"

    "Yep, hit him right in the jaw"

     "That's what I'm talking about!"

I laugh and Newt puts an arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to his chest. A night in the pit won't be so bad.

AN: This is a request from xmaurax22. I feel kinda sorry for Gally, tho. I'm trying to make my stories longer, atleast  a 1000 words. I hope this story meets your expectations. Don't forget to vote! Enjoy!! (Requests are still open, just go to the first chapter)
