Newt Reacts to You Starving Yourself TW

Trigger Warning!! 

Newt was very attentive, and it took him no time at all to realize you were skipping meals. He didn't know,

"I brought your favorite," Newt said, pushing a plate into your lap. Your smile fell as he did so, and you handed it back as he sat next to you.

"I'm not hungry, Newt, but thank you."

Concern grew in his eyes. "But... it's your favorite. Are you sick, love?"

"No, I'm alright. Just not hungry. But you eat, Newt. I'm fine."

Newt sighed and put his plate and yours in the grass at his feet. Turning to face you, he spoke quietly, so the other Gladers eating nearby couldn't hear.

"What's wrong, y/n. I haven't seen you eat anything today... you can tell me."

"It's really nothing, Newt. I'm just trying to lose a few pounds is all."

Newt recoiled as if he'd been slapped.

"What? You're starving yourself?" He hissed in a whisper.

"Newt, it's not the big of a deal- "

"It's a huge deal! You, y/n, the most perfect person in the Glade, shuck, in the world is starving yourself to lose a few pounds?! Are you crazy?! You're stunning the way you are! You can't put your health on the line to... to what, look like a toothpick?"

You giggled, "Not a toothpick, Newt, just a little skinnier... a little less flabby- "

"You're not flabby! You're flawless." Newt took your hand, saying, "Please, love. Can't you see how beautiful you are?"

"No." You said bluntly, pulling away. "That's just the problem. I can't."

You and Newt both sighed deeply from opposite ends of the log.

After a minute, Newt replied, "Ok. Then I'll see for you." He turned to you.

"Please eat, love. If only for me."

It took you a minute, but you met Newt's eyes.

"...fine. Only for you."

"Yay."

You smiled at Newt's enthusiasm, picking up the plate with your favorite food and scooting closer to you.
