Newt imagines (Newt X reader)

A story and a cuddle

Y/N POV

I'm laying down on the grass in the middle of the glade, trying to enjoy the last rays of sunlight before the glade will be completely covert in darkness again. Don't get me wrong, I like the evenings, when the heat calms down a bit and the fire gives everything a breath taking glow. And don't get me started about the stars that are like little diamonds shining through the darkness.

My peace gets interrupted by a shadow above me. I open my eyes and see two kind eyes looking at me, filled with young joy.

"Y/N? Are you awake?" Chuck whispers

"Yeah I am Chuck, my eyes are open" I laugh

"I know, but this one night I woke up and looked straight into James' eyes. I started talking to him and soon realized he was asleep. Scared the klunk out of me"

I laugh again. Chuck is the hope of the glade. The young one. He runs around like he doesn't have a care in the world and I admire that. We should all be more like him.

"So... Did you need me? Is there something wrong?" I ask

"I was just wondering if you could tell me a story. I'm pretty bored"

"Yeah ofcourse, which one?"

"Erm, when you first came into the glade?"

"Okay, when I first came into the glade I met a man named Newtie"

A smile creeps up the young boys' face.

"He lied about his age, but I didn't care. He spoke in broken English, but it was beautiful. He took my breath away and looked at me with these eyes of dark, romantic brown-"

"I already love this story, it's my favorite" Chuck interruptes me

"Mine too" I smile

I look around and notice that the sun has gone down and the fires are already burning.

"Chuck!!" Alby yells "Time for bed, now!!"

"I hate being the youngest, you guys can stay up really late"

"I know Chuckie, but you need your sleep to be strong again tomorrow"  I explain

He lets out a deep sigh and stands up to walk to his hammock. I'm not ready to move. I lay my head down again and look at the stars that replaced the sun. All the boys went to sit around the bonfire, but my social battery is officialy empty. I stand up and walk to my hut where sleep takes me immediatly.

I hear the door creak and my heart jumps. I try not to move as fear takes hold of every muscle in my body, but then I hear it. The familiar uneven footsteps. I let out a sigh and relax my body again. Newt crawles into bed next to me. He's not supposed to be in my hut, actually it's for bidden for everyone after dark, but it's not like Newt cares.

I turn around and look at him. His eyes are shining in the dark.

"Hey" I whisper tiredly

"Sorry for waking you up, love" He whispers back

I move around a little and lay my head on his chest. I take in his scent of mud and sweat. It's the smell of every other boy here, but for some reason it's different with him. It's not disgusting, it's the best scent ever. It's his scent.

"It's okay" I reply

I listen to his heart beat, beating in a calming rhythm. I try to match my breath with his. It's something weird I do every night. Laying on Newt's chest always calmed me, the sound of his heart beat and the way his breath blows in my hair.

"I love you" I whisper, almost in a sleeping state

I don't hear anything from him. He strokes my hair and rubs my back. Suddenly he lifts up my chin with two of his fingers. I look him straight in the eye. He looks tired, like the bags under his eyes can't stop growing. His eyes twinkle still. They always do and I don't think they will ever stop. It is one of the reasons that I fell in love with him. That and every other little thing about him.

"I love you too, so, so much"

He pulls me closer and connects his lips to mine in a soft kiss. He puts another kiss on my forehead and puts my head down again.

"You better sleep, love" He whispers

"Newt?"

"Yes?"

"Promise me you'll stay with me forever"

"I promise, my love"
