Wrong Turns (Newt X Reader X Gally)

Jobs

I officially get a job today I think as I stretch out my limbs from Newt's bed. "Morning love," Newt calls with a smile and I smile back eagerly, "Happy one week," he tells me reaching for my hand and I happily take it as he pulls me out of it. "Happy one week closer to being second command," I offer back and he gives a dazzling smile destined to make any girl swoon. "Let's not count our chicks before they hatch," he tells me and laughs "As if Gally stands a chance against you," I say my eyes halfway glaring at the door. 

Newt pulls me close to him and hugs me, I relish in the feeling, Newt is a very touchy-feely guy and I don't know what that means for his feelings but I won't stop him. "You better watch your volume love or else your soon-to-be keeper will hear you," he whispers down in my ear and I jump back in excitement as I look into his eyes. "Do you mean it? Have you been talking to him and Alby? Do you think that's where they'll put me?" I ask rapid fire causing him to laugh. He winks at me a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Get dressed and let's go find out," Newt tells me tossing me my long-sleeved shirt that goes over the tank top I choose to sleep in. I get dressed faster than I ever do and burst out of Newt's small room, Newt follows behind me but doesn't even attempt to keep up as I fly down the stairs to get to the council room. I doubt I'll ever get the opportunity to sit here again, considering I don't see myself becoming a keeper. When I enter the room I see Alby and Gally already inside, a small sheen of sweat already coating Gally. 

He must be working on something hard to be sweating in the cold air outside. I feel myself smirk in the presence of Gally, a rare feat. "We're just waiting on the other keepers, take a seat (Y/n)," Alby tells me and I do as each keeper rolls in. Minho is the last and he still has a blanket wrapped around him as he enters yawning. "You're late," Alby states, and Minho shrugs "It's not every day I get to sleep in past sunrise, thought I'd take advantage," Minho jokes giving me a wink, and Alby smirks shaking his head.

Minho sits next to Newt on my right filling the small table to its max capacity. "Now that everyone's here, it's time to discuss the greenie's job," Alby says his hand gesturing to me and I tense hating being called 'greenie'. "What jobs did ya like best?" Alby asks turning all eyes on me and I straighten my shoulders "I enjoyed both the builders and the slicers," I tell them my eyes linger over Minho eluding to my interest in the runners, and I know I'm a candidate after my entrance into the glade.

"Winston, how'd she do as a slicer?" Alby asked ignoring my elude to the runners, Winston shrugged "She did retch all over the place so that's a good sign, but she has a bit of sentimentality to some of the animals. Especially those Bark likes," He says recalling the time he caught me playing with Bark the pup and the various animals being raised for slaughter. I try not to flush with embarrassment at the claim and then Alby looks to Gally and I feel my throat go dry as a bone, and I can feel Newt's hand settle on my knee.

He rubs gentle circles trying to ease me, "Gally?" Alby asks and Gally looks at me barely withholding a glare. "Turns okay she's not useless. She might be the fastest builder we have, and although she doesn't like waking up early she never complains about the work. Which is shocking since she complains about everything else," Gally admits and I feel my pulse quicken with excitement. I might not like Gally, but right now I'd kiss him, my mind immediately recoils from the odd thought as I look at the builder. Gally glances at me as if he could hear my thought and I feel a blush rising to my cheeks.

"Then it's settled, Greenie, you're a builder," Alby tells me and I smile at him "I won't let you down Alby," I begin and then my eyes meet Gally's "Or you," I add and Gally gives a curt nod in response.
