Aurora POV
"He did WHAT?!" Lilly yelled.

"He kissed her," Thomas repeated himself.

Thomas and I were stood around my bed that Lilly was laying on. It had been an hour and she was already yelling at us because Newt kissed me and she didn't see.

"Do it again!" She demanded.

"Newt's not here," I said.

Lilly sighed and plopped back down in the bed. I smiled at Thomas and walked out, I seemed to get more energy after brining Lilly back to life using my 'inner devil's angel', as Stark called it but I still wasn't allowed to train so I claimed a spot on the couch downstairs and I would sit and read one of the books Tony got me for hours. I got to the couch, grabbed my book, sat in my favourite corner and curled into a comfy ball reading. I felt a chin rest on my head and arms drape over my shoulders.

"You know it's rude to read over someone shoulder," I whispered looking up at Newt.

"I just went to see Lilly and I need somewhere to sit," he whispered back.

I nodded and he jumped over the couch and sat next to me, leaning his chin on my shoulder to read as well.

"What you reading?" He asked.

"None of your business," I whispered.

He nodded and looked out the glass in front of us. He sighed and I snapped the book shut.

"Why did you really want to sit here?" I snapped.

"No need to get angry, I just want to sit with my favourite person!" He exclaimed.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Ok fine. I want to sit with you because Lilly is bugging me about the, you know-" he started.

"The kiss, not hard to say," I told him.

"Yeah right. She won't stop bugging me about it and I like you so I chose sit with you and not by myself." He said.

I nodded and went back to reading my book and he went back to looking out the window. Eventually my legs got a cramp and I stretched them, subconsciously, over Newt's legs.

"Uh, you ok?" He asked.

I looked up from my book and I noticed his red face and that my legs were relaxed over his.

"Sorry, I'm just used to no one sitting with me." I said.

"It's ok I can, uh, move if you want." He said looking down.

"No it's fine," I exclaimed.

He nodded and I continued reading. Then it came to a chapter where one of the characters died and I snapped my legs back in to curl back into a ball. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Lilly and Thomas had come downstairs and Newt was looking at me weirdly. I ignored them and continued reading when Tony walked in.

"What you reading kid?" He asked.

"Jackson just died!" I yelled at him.

"No need to yell. There are other characters." He said hugging me.

"But he was the hot one!" I screamed.

Newt tensed and I gave him a weird look.

"Someone's jealous of a story character," Lilly teased.

Newt rolled his eyes and got up.

"Where you going?" I asked standing up as well.

"To my room, to do nothing, by myself," he responded before walking upstairs.

I watched him go and shrugged before I plopped back down on the couch and reopened my book flipping back to the page I was on. Tony went back to working on his suit while Lilly and Thomas disappeared probably going to train or whatever. After hours I finished the book and picked up another that Nat suggested. I read that for another two hours before getting up to go to the bathroom. I put a bookmark in and left the book on the couch and teleported to the bathroom in my room and locked the door. After I finished I looked at myself in the mirror, the bags under my eyes had grown and my hair wasn't as neat as it was the first day. I clicked my fingers and my hair was in a messy bun and I was wearing track pants and a long t-shirt. I smiled to myself, I wanted a jumper and I knew where to get one. I walked out the bathroom and out my room, I then snuck over to Newt's room and peaked in to find he wasn't there. I smirked and snuck over to where he kept his hoodies, I rummaged through them till I found my favourite one, it was black and had a small red heart over the chest. I pulled it over my head, the end of the hoodie reaching my knees, and snuck back out. I ran downstairs and flopped onto the couch and grabbed my book and continued reading. I felt a pair of eyes look over the couch to look at me.

"Is that my hoodie?!" Newt asked.

I smiled sheepishly and turned to look up at him.

"Maybe," I said.

"Come on give it back," he said putting his hand out.

I rolled off the couch, leaving my book behind, and ran to the other side of the room. Newt picked up my book and flicked through its pages, he looked at me smirked and started walking away.

"No give me my book back!" I yelled.

"If you give me my hoodie!" He yelled back.

"Fine keep the book, I have more!" I cried and walked back over to the couch.

Newt walked back over too and flopped down next to me.

"Please?" He asked.

"No," I responded with my arms crossed.

He returned my book which I grabbed and started reading again, then he sighed and walked back off to his room. It was a few hours later and it had gotten dark, I rose out of my sitting position and walked outside making sure to take my book with me. I laid outside on the grass looking up at the stars that shone in the sky, I'd never seen the stars properly before because we were always running from WCKD and I didn't know if the ones in the glade were actually real. They were beautiful, little white lights decorated the night sky and I thanked Tony for finding us and bringing us here. I laid there for ages and slowly fell asleep under the night sky unaware of Newt and Nat who was watching me from the window making sure I was ok.
