Newt Imagines- Newt x the reader

Maze

Y/n's pov.

"Chuck" I say as we enter the map room. "Where are we starting today?" I ask putting my hands on my hips and looking around. He laughs "I was about to ask you the exact same question" "I don't think there's very much we can do until we have a look at those dead ends" I mutter and when Chuck looks at me I repeat it a little louder. "Yeah, I think you're right" Then he takes a second before saying "Maybe we should go over the maps and make sure we know where the dead end is and how to get there according to the pattern?" I shrug "Why not? Won't do any harm" We both grab the maps and we set it up in the now familiar grid, this one being 8 across like normal and 6 down. We spend the rest of the day memorising the dead end and the arrow sequence. Newt brought us both lunch and we ate as we worked. By the time Minho and the runners come in, the maps are strewn across the floor ruining the grid, so they and today's ones have to be placed back into their grid.

Chuck's pov.

When Minho and the runners come in we have to fix the grid because we've been using and moving the mpas around all day. One of the runners starts getting impatient, but one glare from Y/n and he shuts his mouth. It takes us about 10 minutes to get ready once the runners are with us. "Ok so" Y/n starts "We know that the arrows lead to dead ends right?" A few runners nod their heads "But now we know, that they all lead to the same dead end" "Same spot in each section and same spot everyday" I add "So now, we just need to know what's so special about these dead end" Y/n concludes. Everyone looks at us, trying to process what we've said. "Wait so does that mean we have to look at the dead ends as well as map the maze" One of the runners asks sounding skeptic and tired. Y/n rolls her eyes "Of course not you slinthead, I'll be going to each section over the next 8 days to have a look" I look at her, incredulous. She didn't discuss this with me before! She has a habit of springing maze visits on us I think. "Y/n, really?" I ask, pulling her away from the now loudly talking runners. "Chuck, you and I both know that if we ask the runners to investigate, they won't make it back in time for the doors" I look down, realising that she's right. I take a deep breath, "You're telling Newt" I say. She smiles and grimaces at the same time and I wonder how she makes such a face. Then she gives me a hug. "Shut up" She yells at the runners, who are still bickering over Y/n's announcement. Everyone looks at her and goes quiet "Minho, I'll be going with you each day, we'll go in order, section 1-8, but we need another runner to actually run the section while we look at the dead end, ok?" He gives one confident nod "You gotta tell Newt and Alby though" He says, starting to smirk. Y/n rolls her eyes "Yeah yeah, I know" then she addresses the rest of the runners "We'll meet here again after the 8 days, but I'm not starting tomorrow, maybe the day after. I have to talk to Alby" "Änd Newt" Minho mutters, she glares at him before continuing "Tell me or Chuck if anything happens. Bye" She says, the conversation obviously over. She slumps over to the table once they're all gone. "Hey, you good" I ask, concerned. She looks up, slightly startled, as if she forgot I was here. "Yeah, I'm....fine" She says hesitantly. I give her a look that I hope says uh huh, sure. When she doesn't say anything, I sigh. "Y/n" She shakes her head, making me stop "Don't. I'm ok Chuck. Really" Then she walks of, towards the kitchen. I look around, making sure the maps are away before following, my stomach growling softly.

Newt's pov.

Y/n walks into the kitchen and comes straight over to me. She buries her face in my neck and I feel her body shake with small sobs. "Hey, hey. What's wrong?" I say, trying to pull her head from my neck. But she stays there, resisting against my hand, so I leave her, letting her come out when she's ready. I finish eating and just sit there, waiting for her to lift her head. The sobs have stopped and now she's just breathing deeply into my neck. I rub her back "You ok?" I whisper. She shakes her head, takes a deep breath and pulls her head away from my neck. She wipes her face and nods, looking at her lap. I put my finger under her chin and lift it gently so that she looks at me. Her eyes dart around, as if trying not to look at me, before finally giving up and settling on my nose. "Hey, you know you can talk to me right?" I ask. She nods her head again, not talking. She dives for my middle, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in tightly for a hug. "I'm going into the maze again" She whispers so quietly I almost don't hear. I pull away and look at her sternly. "Don't" She says putting a finger to my lips "I'm going with Minho, and it's final" She says, trying to sound confident. I let it go for now. Find out why she was crying, then deal with maze trips I think. "Is that why you were crying?" I ask. She looks at me for a second, before deciding to answer me "No...... I was crying because- because I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with all this properly" She says gesturing discreetly to her stomach. "And then after.." She trails off. "Hey" I say, rubbing her back and taking her hand. We walk out of the kitchen, even though she hasn't eaten. We walk for a little before we sit by the unlit fire. "You're doing awesome. And you're going to be a great mum" I say encouragingly. She takes a deep breath, letting my words sink in as she gives me a hug. "C'mon, let's go get you some food" I say after a while. We walk back into the kitchen, talking Frypan into making something for Y/n. He grumbles the whole time, but does it willingly. We sit together as she eats, her holding mt hand the whole time. Once she finishes, we go straight to the homestead, lying down in my bed. I stroke her hair as we lay there in silence. After a few minutes her breathing becomes even, telling me she's asleep. It doesn't take long until I'm the same.

Y/n's pov.

Newt tries to slip away, just as he does every morning, but since I've just been to the bathroom, I'm awake. I grab his arm as he tries to leave, pulling him back down to me. I wrap my arms around him, not letting him go, keeping him in a tight hug. He sighs and wraps his arms around me as well. I press a kiss to his lips and he returns it. We kiss deeply before I let him go and start his day. I sink back under the blankets as soon as he's gone, trying to get just 5 more minutes of sleep. When I know that'll never happen, I get up, sighing. I rub my eyes, getting rid of the last traces of sleep, as I get dressed. I meet Chuck in the kitchen and as soon as I sit down he starts telling me a long story about one of the buildings. I tune it out like most mornings and focus on how I'm going to tell Alby about going into the maze. Not just that but how I'm going to tell him about going in 8 times. I sigh and Chuck stares at me before waving his hand in front of my face. I blink as I realise that he asked me a question. "What?" I say and he laughs "I was asking if you've talked to Newt and Alby about going into the maze yet" "That's actually what I was just thinking about. I've told Newt, but I have to tell Alby" I say sighing "He's not gonna be happy" Chuck remarks. I glare playfully at him "Yeah, really helpful" I say with an eye roll "Hey, just saying it like it is" He says holding his hands up in mock surrender. "Seriously though. I need to tell him, because otherwise I won't be able to go. And I need to go look at these dead ends" He nods along to my words. "I'll come with you if you want" He suggests. I don't know wether to say yes or not, so I sit there contemplating. Alby walks towards us looking annoyed and I look at Chuck. He just shrugs. Guess someone's told him. I'm so glad Chuck's here too I think as he reaches us. He sits down and looks at me, seemingly waiting for me to talk. I look at Chuck and he just shrugs so I turn back to alby and take a deep breath before talking. "I need to go into the maze again" He starts opening his mouth as if to talk, but I don't let him "I'm going. Technically I'm a runner, so I can" I say crossing my arms. He sighs, rubbing his eyes "I'm not going to be able to change your mind am I" He says doubtfully. I shake my head, my arms still crossed. He sighs again. "Whatever" He mutters "Actually? Yay!" I squeal. I get up and start heading to the map room when I remember Chuck. I turn and wave him over "C'mon" I say impatiently as he jogs to me. When we reach the map room I go straight to the table, sitting down. "Right Chuck. How am I supposed to prepare for going into the maze 8 times?" I ask as he sits. "Uummmm" He says while thinking "Well, you need to know what to look for..... And uh..... Where to go to look?" He says hesitantly. He also makes it sound like a question. I think about what he said. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense" I say. He looks up at me like he's surprised that I agreed with him. "Don't look at me like that" I say laughing "We work together, I agree with you all the time" He laughs with me. "Ok, so, we'll look over the maps, and then maybe we can play some sort of game to help me remember details?" I suggest "Yeah sure" He says shrugging. Then moves to help me grab some maps.
