My Glue (A Newt Fanfic)

Falling for you

"So uh you have a couple of choices, you can sleep in the hammocks, out in the Glade, or you can uh, uh..." He stopped. I wondered what stopped him."I'm guessing that this place is called the Glade?""Yeah. This whole place is the Glade. You will learn more tomorrow." He said almost glad that I asked that question."And what is my last option of sleeping arrangements?" I smirked, curious about what stopped him. He smiled at me making me turn away."Well you could uh, sleep with me in the Homestead. I mean share my room. Not actually sleep with me. It's locked so you wouldn't have to worry about the other guys. I mean if you want." He smiled at me. Looking at me intently as if trying to read my face for an answer."Ya know I would love that. I don't want to have to worry about those guys trying to play anything on me. I don't know these people let alone trust them. Yet."He smiled at me again. A look of excitement washed over his face briefly before being replaced with seriousness. "Well we better get you some food and then some sleep. I'll show you where to go." He turned towards the building we just left. I wonder why we even went outside."So I have one question that I would like to be answered before tomorrow. I was wondering what-" I got cut off before I could finish my question."So Newt is this the new Greenie? She is cute." An Asian guy said."Slim it Minho. Her name is Miranda. And yeah she is the new Greenie." Newt was kind of annoyed. He was also protective over me. He put his arm around my waist pulling me close to his body. He was so warm. "Hey Newt, who said you got first shot at the Greenie? What if some of us want her too?" It was big tall guy who was buff. He looked like he could just touch me and leave a bruise. "Hey I have an idea Gally, why don't you leave us alone and we can enjoy our meal?" Newt stepped forward and looked pissed. He looked like he was about to pummel "Gally" to the ground. I stepped forward but Alby appeared and pulled me back. Minho stood behind Newt apparently ready to hold Newt back."Ok Newt. I'll leave you and your new girlfriend alone. Just to let you know we all know that you like her ever since you wouldn't let anyone except you run after her after she came." Gally had a smug look on his face like he had just won."Listen Gally one, I'm not his girlfriend, two I'm not some piece of meat that you can just call dibs on, and three I think you're just lonely because nobody in this world will ever like you with that attitude." My face was blistering red. I got so mad at him that I thought I was going to punch him. "Greenie's got a mouth on her. Maybe we should fix that." Gally had a scowl on his face that was bright red.Newt stepped in-between me and Gally and punched him dead in the nose. Gally immediately started bleeding. He charged at Newt but before he could hit him Newt dodged him. He was quick. Gally fell on the ground and before I knew it, Alby and Minho were on top of him and Newt was whisking me away. "Come on Miranda. I'll get you some food later but I don't want you in there while Gally is being a shucking idiot." I started slowing down. I just realized that he actually cared for me. Maybe just because he feels like he needs to protect me because I'm a girl or because he has other feelings. I don't know. All I know is that I'm starting to have feelings for Newt. I know I've only known him for less than a day but I feel a connection to him."Bloody hell Miranda, Keep up unless you want Gally coming out here trying to beat the klunk out of you." Newt turned around staring at me. I had completely stopped in my tracks. What was I thinking? Can I really fall for him? Am I so naive that I think he may actually like me? I'm such a girl."Newt?""Yeah Miranda?""The question I wanted answered before tomorrow is what do I look like?" I was nervous. I was hoping he would tell me I'm beautiful and that he likes me but I know that won't happen."Well you have medium length chestnut brown hair. Big dark brown eyes that sparkle when you get mad and are so intense that people could get lost in them. You have a good complexion that is tan. Your cheeks flush when you are nervous and mad making you adorable. You are firmly built with a beautiful figure. I heard people say that they thought you beautiful. You look about 5'7" and 16 years old." He blushed."Thanks. Do you think that I will ever be treated normally? I mean like I'm not a girl, like I can't take care of myself?" I lower my head already disappointed in myself for putting him in a bad position."I do. I think you will be treated normal. I know that it will be difficult but I am here for you and that is all that matters." He walked closer to me putting his hand on my waist. His touch sent chills all over my body."Newt I think I'm falling for you. I know it sounds crazy but I just feel some sort of connection to you and I can't shake it." I look into his deep brown eyes. My heart begins to race. I feel my cheeks getting redder and redder. My breath gets heavier and heavier. Newt moves his other hand to my cheek. Again making me shiver."I've already fallen for you. As soon as you got out of the box on your own I was falling for you."Then he moved his face forward. I could feel his breath. He smelled like grass and lavender.
