Newt x Y/n - Maze Runner

-3-

I made my way towards the hut that was near the back of the forest. The thin leaves crunching under my shoes as I walked when I stopped at the sound of someone else. I turned and saw Ben, "Ben! I was just looking fo-"

I stopped, my eyes widening when I saw him. Dark, almost black eyes, a greyed skin as he panted heavily. His teeth bared as he stared at me, I could see his eyes droop and then widen as he saw me.

I took a step back, the leaves again crunching as I did so. Suddenly, Ben jumped, his arms wrapped around my shoulders and he flung me to the ground, my head smacking on the hard floor.

"BEN!" I screamed. Yelling over and over again as he pulled his fist back and went to punch me in the face.

I shouted again as over all the commotion, I heard a group of sprinting legs coming closer to me then Ben was yanked off me and was suddenly being held down on the floor by Gally and Minho as Newt ran to me.

"Are you ok?!" he grabbed my hand and helped me sit up, one hand holding my hand and the other behind my head.

I was staring straight forwards at Ben as he struggled in the grip of Gally and Minho, a bunch of other Gladers crowding around him. The person I had ran with every day, the one who had protected me as we went through the death trap and now he was being restrained by Gally after being stung in the middle of the day.

Newt rubbed my hand with his thumb and tilted his head to the side, watching me carefully as my eyes followed Gally and Minho who took Ben to the slammer.

"Love?" he asked.

I was pulled from my trance with this word, my cheeks quickly began to heat up and I looked down to the floor. Newt rubbed my knee and asked again, "Love? Are you ok? What did he do?"

I pressed my hand to the back of my head which hurt slightly from the hit to the floor, "I'm fine, just..." I trailed off but before I could finish, Newt pulled me into another hug. My head tucking neatly into his shoulder as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Everything's ok, your safe." He whispered.

We stayed there for a moment longer before pulling away, I stared into his bright blue eyes for a second when we both looked away and had a similar amount of blush spread across our cheeks.

That was until Thomas came sprinting over, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the light were he proceeded to spin me around a check for any new wounds on my body.

"Thomas." I spoke in between laughed, "I'm fine."

He stopped and looked at me with a smirk, "you sure?"

"Yes! Now I have more important things to do and that is annoying Frypan about food!" I flicked the back of his head then ran off to wards Fry's hut where a delicious smell spread from.

We pulled back from the hug, May arms still hovering around her back as she looked at me. Our eyes connected and I stared into her gorgeous e/c eyes before feeling a hot spark hit my cheeks and both of us looking away.

Then Thomas came over and Y/n was quickly whisked away from me and into the arms of Thomas who was hurriedly checking her for wounds.

I smiled as she laughed, getting spun around and scanned for marks. She giggled, her high pitched voice circling through my brain.

She stopped spinning and laughing and began to talk, "Yes!" She answered Thomas' repeated questions, "Now I have more important things to do and that I annoying Frypan about food!"

She then hurried off, skipping over large logs on the ground and turning around the corner of s large tree. Her h/c hair bouncing as she went.

I stood up with a large smile still showing just below the red dust that was covering my cheeks.

Until Thomas turned around, "Aww! Look who has a little crush!" He teased.

I rolled my eyes and turned away from him when he grabbed me by my shoulder and spun me around.

"I think you would be a good couple." He winked and left after I sighed a chuckle, following behind him at the call of diner.
