Bonfire

Newt's pov

I look down at Y/n, and see her face, flushed slightly with a shade of pink. "Newt, come here, help me get ready for the bonfire" I hear a pile of wood fall, scoring a rush of cursing from your leader, Alby. I excuse myself from my friends, and rush to Alby, who desperately needs help with all the wood for the upcoming events for tonight. We walk together, discussing simple things, until the topic of Y/n gets brought up. "So, how are you and y/n going?" It really irked me when the topic of us gets brought up. Yes, I like her, but there isn't anything between us. "Fine, we are fine, and just so you know, we are just bloody friends! Why do people keep on saying we're bloody girlfriend and boyfriend." "Ok, ok relax. Just so you know, I know you're lying to me. You only say bloody that much when you're lying. Or nervous. But still, you can't hide shit from me shuck face." If you need any situation to be ten times worse, you can rely on Alby. But I can't stay mad at him, he's basically a brother to me, so I just brush it off and laugh. We continue to stack the wood for tonight's events, and eventually disperse, continuing in the jobs left for us.

Y/n pov

It was nearing nightfall, the time the bonfire starts. I walk up to a log, placed around the fire, and just sit there thinking to yourself. Thinking about mindless little things like the way the fire flicked, or the shapes I could see in the smoke. Something about the fire made me feel calm, making me transfixed on the flickering flames. I hadn't realised that Newt was sitting next to me, mimicking my action by staring at the fire. I look over at him, and get immediately drawn to his chocolate brown eyes, and the way the fire glistens, making them more of a honey colour. He's noticed I am staring at him, and now he's staring back. He grabs my hand and leads me somewhere where I have never been before, the Deadheads.

Y/n pov

He leads me through an opening in the densely packed forest they call the Deadheads. I've never been this deep into it before. I'm scared, but with his arms around me, Newt makes me feel safe. We go further than I thought was possible. It doesn't look this big from the outside, though once in, it is enormous. He tells me to close my eyes, and I do so, trusting him wholeheartedly as to where he is leading me. Eventually, he asks me to open my eyes. I immediately smile, pleased with the view in front of me. Next to a small lake, there is a small picnic table, along with a small amount of food. Scattered along the ground are fairy lights and beautiful flowers in the bushes, emitting a sweet smell. I turn around and see Newt, with a sweet smile spreading along his face. "This is beautiful, thank you so much!" I hug him by wrapping my arms around his neck. "No worries, love. It's all my pleasure. You deserve it anyways! You know how amazing you are" Did he just say what I thought he said? ...' Y/n, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Ever since I pulled you out of the box, I felt something that I've never felt before. Love. Being stuck in this shucking maze has messed me up. I felt like I wasn't good enough in this world.' I'm shocked to hear that someone like Newt, who seems so strong and like he could face anything, can't bear to live another day here. 'You wanna know how I got this limp?' I nod, cautiously, still processing what he said before. I didn't know where this was going to lead to. " From the first day I came up in the Box, I couldn't stand being here. Being here made me feel bloody horrible about myself, I couldn't do anything; I felt empty. And I couldn't handle that, I couldn't take it. So early one morning, just as the doors opened, I snuck out into the maze and climbed the highest wall I could find. I took one last look at the sun rising on the horizon that you could never see from the Glade. Before someone spotted me, I jumped straight off. Of course I got tangled up in all the ivy, snapped my leg in three different places like a proper shank. I landed hard on the floor and I thought that was it. Then Alby found me... somehow. And he picked me up and took me back to the Glade. He saved me, he gave me a second chance. And we never told anyone the truth about what happened. You're special, y/n, you're the only one I trust here.' I see tears streaming down his face, and I know I'm on the verge of tears as well. "Newt" I say, and start crying. I pull myself together long enough to say "Thank you for trusting me with that. And..... I think I might feel that love too." And then we hug, both of us with tears rolling down our faces.' Y/n, what I mean to say is that I love you. Not just as a friend but something more than that. And, I know you probably don't feel the same way towards me and I completely understand that but I ju-' Before he can finish his sentence, I press my lips to his. And it is the best moment of my life. We kiss tentatively at first, but then it turned passionate and heated. He pulls away quickly for air, but I pull him back in for another just as quickly, and feel him smile into the kiss. His hands start on my face and wrap around my waist, pulling me closer. My hands tangle in his soft hair which shone brightly in the moonlight. In the middle of the kiss, I hear a wolf whistle from behind. I turn quickly, breaking the kiss, to the direction it came from. Standing there, partly hidden by the shadows, was Minho. How long had he been standing there?, was the only thought going through my head at this point. All emotions, other than love and longing had been numbed by the kiss. I couldn't even feel embarrassed. The smirk on his face says it all. He was standing there long enough for him to see what we had done. "Well, that was quite the show. I guess I was right when I said you got yourself a girl" he says to Newt with amusement in his voice. Newt glares at him, his arms still wrapped around my waist. "Shuck off" is Newt's reply. "Geez, don't have to get all overprotective over your girl, do we now Newt?', gesturing to his firm grip around my waist. Newt stays silent, his grasp around my waist tightening. 'Well I'll see you guys in the homestead later, don't take too long," he says, walking off, laughing to himself. No doubt that he is going to tell everyone about what he'd seen. Newt's grip on my waist slowly loosens as Minho walks away "Should we worry about him?" I ask Newt ''Nah, he can say what he bloody wants, it's not gonna change anything' he says, giving me a gentle kiss on my lips. "But I believe we were in the middle of something, before we were interrupted,'' he says, with a slight smile on his face. He started kissing me again. I started to protest, but after one look at him, I know I couldn't stop myself, even if I tried.

Newts pov

I pull back, though I couldn't help getting caught in her reflective y/e/c eyes. "What, why are you staring at me?" "Cos there is nothing else here worth staring at". I see that same smile plastered on her lips, the one that made me fall in love with her. I tuck a piece of her hair that's fallen out of place behind her ear. "God, you're bloody beautiful". Then, she just laughs, though that small action makes my heart melt. She leans in once more, and presses her lips against mine, though it's quick. She stands up and I lead her towards the lake. I sit down, my legs dangling into the water. Lightly giggling, she kicks the cool lake water into my face, scoring a slight scream from me. I look at her and she's giggling at me. I splash some back and it was my turn to laugh. Her hair is wet and stuck to her cheek. She gets up, and for a second I think she is mad, but then she pushes me into the lake. I surface, coughing and laughing. She was laying on the grass, almost in tears from laughter. I swim to the edge and pull her in with me, her squealing in the process. She resurfaces, and we pass splashes of water towards one another. We eventually stop, and instead we just stand there, lovingly staring at each other, half submerged in the water. We stand there staring at each other until Y/n starts shivering and I knew we had to get out. I hadn't realised how dark it had gotten. Everyone would surely be asleep by the time we got back to the homestead. We walk back, our hands linked, until I realise the extent of y/n's shivering. I wrap my arm around her shoulders, and she leans her head on mine. We start running, but once we reach the building, I put my finger to my lips to tell her we have to be quiet. I open the door, cringing at the loud creak it makes. I let go of her hand and look through the door. No one moves or makes a sound so we tip toe in and, as quietly as we could, we sprinted up the stairs to where I sleep. I give Y/n a shirt so she didn't have to leave. We have to change, and then we climbed into my bed together. At first we didn't know how to place out bodies, but then she turned around and we were spooning. We were cuddling until we fell asleep.
