Forever in my mind~a Newtmas fanfiction [HIATUS]

Chapter 4: Day one

Newt's POV

I wake up to Alby poking my shoulder. I turn around, annoyed, but he obviously wants me to get up. So I turn to face him and he says: "Wake the Greenie, make him do something useful.". I yawn, grab my slightly worn hoodie and put it on. When I walk over to Thomas' bed, I notice that everybody's still sleeping, so I guess it must be bloody early. I stab Thomas with my elbow and say "Day one Greenie, rise and shine,". He replies with a yawn.

That's so cute.

Thomas turns away from me, so I grab his sheets, making him jump up and squeal. "Damn it Newt, what is wrong with you?" he hisses. I smile and say: "Let's make you useful."

I stand outside, waiting for him to get dressed. When he comes out of the Homestead, he stretches and yawns again, resulting in me making a soft giggle. I just hope he didn't see that. "I'm going to introduce you to the Keepers, Greenbean. You can see them as your boss. You can choose the job you'd like to do." Thomas opens his mouth to say something, but he is interrupted by the sound of the walls opening and he jumps up, with a startled look on his face. I chuckle, and Thomas turns around and looks at me, and our eyes meet. I realise I'm staring, so I turn around to see the Runners heading for the Maze. Thomas turns around too. "Who are they?" he asks. "They are Runners." I reply, careful not to mention the Maze. "And what do they do?" he continues. I answer: "I can't tell you yet. That's not my job. Let's go on.". I want to walk away, but Thomas grabs me by my arm, stopping me in my track. I blush, and try to hide my face. "You have to tell me, come on Newt!" he says, holding my wrist tightly. I look at him, and say: "I can't. I'm sorry Tommy."
