Newt one shots Book 3

Overheated

Hi. Can I request an imagine where I faint from heat exhaustion in the Scorch?

I did my best to climb yet another tall sand dune hearing my heart beating, gasping and wheezing hard though the scarf. My whole body ached beyond anything I had ever known I couldn't imagine what it was like for the non runners among us, it's very clear to me I'm good at distance from the maze but not this climbing and sand dunes nonsense. You spend an hour and all your energy climbing to the top of a dune only to see you haven't got anywhere and you've got to make it all the way back down to go up the next one. All with this merciless heat beating down burning your skin, heating up the many layers we had to wear to protect from the vicious sandy winds. When we reached the top yet again it became clear all the effort and work of the last hour had gotten us maybe a few feet the sun beating down unhindered by a single cloud, my body pretty much just gave the fuck up.

My body hit the soft sand, hard and painful. But my mind just went utterly black boiling in the heat.

Slowly a voice bridged the darkness...

"Y/n! Y/n! Love please." It was newt that was obvious from his voice and the fact no one else calls me love the more I focused on his voice the more the darkness seemed to clear my body cooler, my breaths steadier "love please please..."

"newt?"

"Yes! Yes it's me. It's me. Your okay. Your fine. You just got a little overheated love" he reassured stroking my cheek sweetly "you okay?" He asks as I slowly opened my eyes seeing I was laid on the backseat of a half buried car long since abandoned and withered by the elements he stood by the removed door with a smile

"I think so" I nodded sitting up

"Whoa, whoa careful."

"Where's everyone else?"

"Making camp for tonight, your in no state to be going anywhere tonight"

"Sorry -"

"It's okay, you have nothing to be sorry for love. Honestly of it wasn't you I think it would have been me not long after" he says "i saw you fall so I got us all to stop, boys helped me carry you here"

"Thank you newt" I smiled giving his cheek a little kiss

"Ohh uhh your welcome. Get a little more rest we'll get moving in the morning" he reassured before going to help the others
