The maze runner: If I live (Newt x reader)

Chapter 19: "Newt, you ok?"

Be carful for Newt cuteness overload in this chapter!

Newt

I slowly felt my eyes opening and I winced from the sudden exposure to the light. I felt weight on my stomach and I slowly stretched my neck to look down. My eyes were met with the top of a girl's head, and I immediately knew who it was (It's not that hard there's only one girl in the glade) Y/n was on my chest, slightly snoring in her sleep. I smiled in happiness and I placed my hand on her back and rubbed it, trying to comfort her but definitely comforting myself more than I was to her. I looked down at her y/h/c hair. It was in a very messy bun that was nearly falling out. I carefully took the hair tie out, and I proceeded to try and braid her hair.

Half an hour later:

I'm going to be in so much trouble when Y/n wakes up. I was trying to braid her hair so then she could have a different hairstyle for once, but I think I completely forgot that I have no idea how to braid someone's hair and her hair now looks way worse than when I started doing it. If Gally finds a way to unknot her hair, it will be a miracle. But knowing both Gally and Y/n, I will definitely be the one who has to unknot her hair. "Shit, shit, shit" I muttered as I took strands of hair into my hands and then proceeded to try and get them to unknot themselves. I'm such a shucking idiottttttt, help me, help me, help meeeeeee. Maybe if I pretend to be asleep they won't know and I'll be off the hook. Yeah I'll do that, Goodnight.

A few hours later:

Y/n

"Uugghh" I groaned as I rubbed my face then eyes, sleepily. I placed my hands on whatever was below me and I stretched my stomach, doing a kind of yoga pose. "hellooo" I heard a voice say, from below me and I jumped a little, causing my hands to slip off of the thing I was on, and my chest and face to slamm onto him. I took my face from his chest and I awkwardly looked up to see Newt's laughing face. "Oh shut up, shuckface" I said, while trying but failing to suppress a grin. I noticed Newt's hand on my lower back at roughly the same time as him and his face went red, he chuckled embarrassed as he removed his hand, a light smirk still resting on his lips. I stared down at them, admiring how they were slightly parted and how they were always a soft shade of pink. "Omg, they're pink, '' I said while placing a hand on them and observing them with disbelief. "What?" he said confused as he looked down, obviously trying to look at his own lips. "Your lips, they're pink" I said to him, while getting off him and grabbing his hand. "Your hands aren't blue, how, how have you healed?" I muttered, more to myself than him. "You don't seem very happy" I heard Newt say, as he slowly got up. "Oh Newt, you have no idea how happy I am" I said with a shaky voice, starting to cry. "Y/n, don't cry" he said, opening his arms out, while sitting on the bed, gestioning for me to give him a hug. I rushed towards him, burying my head into his chest, as he chuckled at me. A fluttery feeling erupted into my stomach and I felt a feeling I had never felt before. Love.
