I sat by the Glade's crackling fire, my gaze fixed on the dancing flames. Today had been another grueling day, navigating the twists and turns of the Maze. But amidst the exhaustion, there was something else tugging at my heart, a feeling that had been growing stronger each passing day.

Across from me, Newt sat, his eyes filled with a mix of contemplation and nervousness. I couldn't help but steal glances at him, drawn to his presence like a magnet. There was an unspoken connection between us, a bond that defied the boundaries of our circumstances. And tonight, it was time to address it.

Summoning my courage, I took a deep breath and turned to face Newt. "Newt," I began, my voice barely above a whisper. "Can we talk about something? Something we probably shouldn't talk about?"

Newt's eyes met mine, curiosity and anticipation shining in their depths. "Of course, love. What's on your mind?"

I paused, my mind racing to find the right words. This was it, the moment of truth. "Newt, I've been thinking about us," I confessed, my voice steady but filled with vulnerability. "The way we've grown closer, the way our hearts seem to beat in sync. Do you ever think about us too?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Newt's face, quickly replaced by a warm smile. "Y/N, I've thought about us more times than I can count," he admitted, his voice tinged with a mix of relief and affection. "This connection we have, it's undeniable. I couldn't ignore it even if I tried."

I felt a weight lift off my chest, a surge of hope coursing through my veins. "What if our tomorrow means that we are here together?" I whispered, my voice filled with longing. "What if we've been taking chances just to lose it all? Am I foolish for indulging in these thoughts?"

Newt reached out, his hand finding mine, and a current of electricity passed between us. "Y/N, you're not foolish at all," he reassured me, his eyes locked on mine. "I've been wondering the same things, questioning if we're missing out on something incredible by not acknowledging our feelings."

My heart swelled, and my gaze never wavered from Newt's. "Newt, what if I say... I know, you know... What if I told you I like you?"

A surge of emotion passed over Newt's face, and without a moment's hesitation, he closed the distance between us. His lips met mine in a gentle, tender kiss, and in that instant, the world around us ceased to exist. It was just us, lost in the sweetest of moments.

As our lips parted, our foreheads rested against each other's, and I could feel Newt's breath mingling with mine. "We stay, we go," he murmured, his voice filled with a newfound certainty. "What if I told you I like you too, Y/N?"

A smile broke across my face, my heart soaring with joy. "We stay, we go," I echoed, my voice filled with anticipation. "Let's embrace this connection, Newt. Let's see where it takes us."

And so, in the flickering light of the fire, Newt and I sat, our hands entwined and our hearts entangled. We had taken a leap of faith, baring our souls and discovering a love that was worth every risk.

With the promise of a shared tomorrow and the taste of our first kiss lingering on our lips, Newt and I embarked on a new chapter together. We were ready to face the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead because we had found something irreplaceable-a love that bloomed against all odds, in the midst of a maze that sought to tear us apart.
