Newt/Thomas Brodie Sangster One Shots and Imagines

22) Gay? (Fluff) NewtxFEM!Reader

    (Note: Regardless of how the title may come across, this is still NewtxFemaleReader as mentioned. Also... Johnny is jealous...Read it and you'll understand 😌)

   (Y/N's POV)

    I was walking with Johnny around the Glade when Newt caught my eye in the Gardens. Him looking all hot in the sun from his work was killing me. I don't know why, it could just be a stupid girl thing. It's really something in my body that just found him so attractive. Johnny followed my gaze.

   "You like Newt?" He accused.

    I blushed and looked at my feet, cursing myself for making it so obvious. I couldn't really deny it now. I put my hands behind my back, intertwined.

   "Maybe..."

    "You do know...right?" He asked slowly, as if talking to a child.

    "Know what?"

    "He's...ya know..."

    "He's what?"

    "He's gay, y/n."

    My mouth dropped open. Newt is gay? What? I couldn't believe it. I looked back at him in the Gardens. Why do all the hot ones have to be gay? But anyways, I fully support him. And now I have a gay bestie! Glass half full I guess...

   "Oh..."

   "Yeah."

   I nodded my head.

   "Well I'm going to go back to the Gardens now."

    (Newt's POV)

   I watched my crush, Y/N, walk over my way. My heart skipped a beat when I noticed her. I know it's cliche, but she was just so beautiful and amazing. If all the girls in the world were as great as she was, it must have been amazing. Even if we got out of here and they were all as perfect as she is, I wouldn't stop liking her. She was my best friend. Girl friend as least because I had a decent amount of guy friends.

     I sat down my tools and wiped my forehead, drying my hand on my shirt.

   "Hey, love."

   "Hey, Newtie."

   She sort of examined me for a bit, and then she sat down. I thought it was odd, but I sat beside her.

   "So, Newt..." she started. "Do you have an eye on anyone in the Glade?"

   She looked at me with expectancy, but not like she was asking about herself which confused me. She's the only girl and if you liked anyone in the Glade, it had to be her (except in her case, of course). Guys here only had one option, and they all liked her or didn't. Most chose the former, which pissed me off, but it weird for her to ask that question seeing as she was the one choice.

   "N-No! Why would you ask that?"

    She shrugged.

    "Just something brought to my attention."

    What?! I swear, if Minho told her...

    "Who said something?"

    "Just Johnny."

    Ugh. Johnny was one of her friends, and he was especially weird to me. Every time I talked to him even about the smallest things, he would give me a fake smile and look at me as though he was better than me but didn't want to say anything, just thinking it. He also hovered around Y/N so often that it was annoying the bloody hell out of me.

"What did he say?" I inquired, calming down a bit.

She shrugged and shook her head with an expression I had never really seen on her before. Maybe she expected me to know already.

"Nothing."

I didn't believe her. She was acting pretty off. I opened my mouth to say something but then she said she had to go and got up to leave. I looked down, wondering what Johnny could have told her to make our interactions somewhat... awkward.

(Note: Tell me if this is a good idea and you guys want a part two or if this is a really bad idea 😕
