Y/n pov:
I woke up with the light shining in my eyes. I felt something tighten around my waist and looked down. I saw a pair of strong arms wrapped around my body. I then felt something nuzzle into my back and turned around to see newt peacefully sleeping while snuggling into my back.
Damn newt's grip was strong, I spent ages trying to free myself. I eventually gave up and just waited for him to wake up and release me.
It felt like hours, even though it was a couple of minutes, before newt finally woke up. "Morning love." He yawned.
"It's about time." I said jokingly. "I've had to hold in the urge to go to the bathroom because you have such a strong grip on me."
"Sorry." He said. "You can go do whatever it is you need to do."
He released me and I got up to go to the bathroom. When I got back newt was snuggling into one of his pillows. I walked over to him and kissed his forehead. "I'm going to see Minho off before he goes into the maze." I said.
"Mhm." Newt acknowledged. "Just don't set a foot inside."
"Yes, newtie. I know."
He sat up now and got out of bed. "I'm serious. As tempting it may be, don't go inside."
I gave him another kiss and left.
~Time skip~
Newt, Thomas, zart and I were all working in the garden with the other track-hoes in the sweltering heat. Newt and I were tangling the vines with the sticks and supports while the greenie was working the soil with zart.
"Have any of you tried climbing to the top?" Thomas asked, trying to figure out how to get out of here.
"Tried it, the vines don't go all the way to the top. Besides, where would you go after that?" Newt replied.
"What about the box? Next time when it comes up you could-" Thomas tried again.
"Nope." I answered. "Box won't go back down with someone in it."
"Why don't you-" God, this kid is really getting on my nerves.
"Look, we've tried it. Twice okay. Anything you can come up with, we've already tried." Newt interrupted. "Now you want to be helpful? Go pick us up some fertiliser. Y/n will show you where to get it."
I grab a basket and a shovel and lead Thomas to the deadheads. I really like it in the forest, it's nice and quiet. The only downside is that's where we bury our dead. When we get close to the graveyard, I put down the basket and walk to one of the graves.
I kneel down and put my hand on the gravestone made of wood. George it said. "What happened to him?" Thomas broke the silence.
"We had a lot of dark times. Lost a lot of boys to fear." I replied, letting a single tear fall down. We heard a twig snap and turned our heads to the source of the noise.
It was Ben.
