"Newt, can I ask you something?"
"What is it love?"

Newt quit working for a second and focused all of his attention on you. He grabbed your hands and pulled you into a tight hug until you pulled away, ready to speak. You fiddled with your thumbs and looked down, you had no idea how to ask.

"Uh, well.."

You looked back up at Newt to see a curious expression on his face.

"How would you feel if I was a, a uh, runner?"

His expression quickly became a frown.

"What?"
"I want to be a runner, and Minho said I'm good enough to be one, Alby agrees, so is it okay with you?"

You asked, hope clinging dearly to your shaky voice.

You weren't afraid of Newt, you were just afraid of what he'd say.

--"Bloody shuck Y/N, no way! I'm not letting you go out there!"
"What? Why not Newt?"
--"Why do you even bloody want to? Trust me, I've been a bloody runner, it's not the safest--"
"I know that, but I want to! Don't you think I can take care of myself?! I'm just as old as you, I'm not a child Newt!"
--"Y/N, I said no and that's final! Okay? Please just bloody drop it, I'm not in the bloody mood. I have to get back to work anyway."
"I shucking hate you! You yelled, tears welling in your eyes, but your rolled them away. Newt looked at you with an agonized expression. You could see tears welling up in his eyes--feel his heart breaking in his own soul, and with that, you ran off to your room.
-
You didn't really hate Newt of course. You loved him, with all your heart, but he was just being so-so infuriating! How could he not let you be a runner? Ugh! You didn't even want to think about it. You laid down on your bed and shut your eyes.

You woke up to Minho's sweat dripping on your face. "Ew, Minho!" You gagged, wiping it off of you. "You know you love it." You rolled your eyes and shook your head, fiddling to get up. "The shuck are you doing here anyway?"
"Oh yeah, I just wanted to wake you up and tell you dinner's ready. "I'm not hungry." You muttered, "Suit yourself!" Minho left the room and you strived to go back to sleep.
-
You heard the door creak open again, but you were on the brink of sleep and refused to open your eyes. The person had laid down next to you, he was gently stroking your hair with his fingers--it had to be Newt.

"I didn't see you at dinner.." He mumbled, sounding sadder than usual.

"Can you please stop and go away? I don't really want to talk you. Plus I'm trying to sleep." You retorted, brushing his hand away, but it kept finding its way to your tangled hair. "Newt stop!" You yelled, slapping his hand away and trying to hide the slight crack of hurt in your voice.

His hand never came back, instead, his weight shifted the bed and he wrapped his arms around you. You squirmed out of his arms and sat up, about to leave. "Please don't go love," he grabbed your hand. "I want to talk to you." His voice was emotionless, as well as his face. "Can't say the same." You remarked, looking at everything but him.
-
Silence.
-
"Do you really h-hate me?.." Newt's voice cracked and you could now tell he was on the brink of tears. You finally fixed your gaze upon him.

His eyes were all red, swollen, and puffy from crying it looked like, and just by seeing his expression shattered your heart. "Newt," your voice softened, "of course not, I-I didn't mean it, I'm sorry." He looked down at his bad ankle and sniffled like a child with a cold.

"I-I'm just trying to bloody protect you Y/N. You don't know how much I love you, I didn't mean to make you angry or upset you, I just-" Newt wiped the trailing tears from his eyes. "I don't want to bloody loose you. You're my only hope, and without you I'd fall apart. I love you so much, and I-I just, I'm sorry, but I just can't let you go out there.."
"But Newt I--"
"Please, Y/N.."

He looked at you with his empty eyes and you thought you could see a speck of hope.

"Fine." You muttered, not happy with the decision, but not wanting to hurt Newt more than you already had.

He reached over and wrapped his arms around you. You could feel his wet tears touch your shirt as you hugged back. "I'm sorry Newt."
"I am too," he sniffled, pulling away.

You caught a smile tugging at his lips.

"What?" You rolled your eyes jokingly. "Do you want to work with me?"

He smiled, his eyes still puffy from crying.

"We could prance around in the gardens like the people from fairytales, we could also uh, throw dirt at each other, or pick flowers, and secretly eat the fruit and vegetables. I promise I'll make it up to you, you're going to have way more fun with me than running in that bloody shuck maze." He smirked, satisfied with his cheesy plans.

"Fine, whatever you want Newt." You said laughing, and he kissed your lips, pulling you on top of him to deepen this kiss, and that's how you fell asleep that night. Safe, warm, and protected inside Newt's arms.
