Forever in my mind~a Newtmas fanfiction [HIATUS]

Chapter 6: What if

I almost fall over several times as he pulls me with him, into the Deadheads. "Where are we going?" I ask, several times, but he never answers. What if- No, never mind. That's ridiculous. He wouldn't be interested in me.

Finally, he slows down, and lets go of my hand. We are in front of a hut. "And... What is this?" I ask, but he doesn't answer. Again.

Newt unlocks the door and walks in. I follow him. It's really dark inside, and I can't see anything until my eyes adjust to the dim light. I stand in front of a desk filled with maps. "What are those?" I ask, confused. "Maps." Newt answers. "Yeah I saw that, but what do they map out?" I reply. Newt turns around to face me. "Don't tell anyone about this. You are not supposed to be here, Tommy, and if you tell someone, I'll bloody kill you," he says. "This is the Maze."

"The... Maze?" I stammer. "The Glade is located in the middle of this gigantic maze. This is the maps we've made in the past few years." Newt continues. I want to say something but I'm to confused. I follow the paths with my eyes. There is something off about this maze... Because on every map, every single one of them, there is no exit to be found. "Newt, where is the exit? A maze always has a solution, doesn't it?" I ask. "There is no way out, Tommy. We are stuck in here." he replies, with a voice filled with sadness. "There must be one! We can't be in here forever! We can..." I say, but Newt interrupts me, again. "There is no exit Tommy! We are all bloody doomed to live in here forever!" he shouts. I remain silent, while I try to hold back the tears. But what about my family? My siblings, mother, father? Will they ever see me again or will I die here? Do they miss me? I don't know, and it upsets me. I can't fight it anymore and the tears start rolling over my cheeks. I cover my face with my hands because I don't want him to see me cry. But my plan fails. I can sense that Newt looks at me, so I drop my hands and look him in the eyes. I can see that he regrets everything he said. He bites his lip and mumbles "I'm sorry Tommy... I- I didn't mean to upset you..."

I taste the saltiness of my tears and wish to drown in them. I put my hands before my eyes again, but Newt pulls my hands away and looks me in my eyes. "Tommy, I really am sorry..." he says, and he wraps his arms around my body. A warm, pleasant feeling flows through my body, and it seems to bring some relief. When he lets go of me, after what felt like a century, I wipe my sleeve under my eyes. I look up and find Newt staring at me. He quickly looks away and I giggle. He smiles, too.

What is going on, I think by myself. Does this mean... No way. It doesn't. I laugh at myself, what am I thinking. I take a deep breath and say: "I bet the others are missing you. We should get going." and turn around to walk away, but Newt grabs my wrist again. I turn to face him, when he leans in and kisses me on the lips. Carefully, but soft and sweet. There it is again, the feeling of comfort and relief. When he pulls away, his face turns ruby red. He stammers: "Tommy, I didn't know what was happening to me... I'm," I don't let him finish his sentence. I lean back in and kiss him, again. He kisses back, passionately.

After a while we have to pull back to breathe. He lays his head in my neck, and I smile.

"Tommy?" he whispers, his breath tickling in my neck. "Yeah?" I whisper back.

"I think I love you."
