Her Anchor || Newt - Maze Runner

Part 6 - Breakfast

~Your POV~

My eyes flutter open as the sun beams out from the windows. As I groggily rise from the bed, I look at a sleeping body on the floor.

Wait. Why is Newt on the floor and I'm on the bed? I'm going to ask him about that when he wakes up.

As I swung my feet to the side of the bed, I heard a muffled groan coming from the floor. I watch as Newt wipes the sleep from this eyes and pushes himself up from the floor. He looked my way as we quickly made eye contact although I broke it to hide my blushing face.

'Good morning love.' said Newt in a raspy deep voice

'Morning.' I whispered back

Butterflies swarmed my stomach as my face went a tomato red.

Love?

He lifted himself onto his feet as he made his way across the room

'Hey Newt?'

'Yeah' he hummed as he rummages through his cupboard

'Why am I on the bed and you're on the floor? '

'Because if you slept on the floor you would be uncomfortable.'

'Weren't you uncomfortable though?'

'A little bit I would rather have me be uncomfortable than you'

I smile played on my face as blush rose through my cheeks again

What a gentleman

'Thank you blondie'

Turned around swiftly and gave me a smirk

'Blondie ay?' Newt smirked

'Yeah, it suits.' I replied while mirroring his smirk

'Alright then.' Newts said while walking towards the wooden door of the hut. 'Come on, don't want to be late to breakfast'

Newt opened the door and gestured for me to go first. I got up from the bed and made my way towards the door.

As I left the hut the smell of fresh morning dew. The cold stung my nostrils but it was worth it. The Glade looked beautiful. The maze doors were open so Minho and Thomas would of already been gone. I could see some the Gladers starting to stir and some were already at the kitchen. The Glade was quiet and peaceful and overall just beautiful.

Newt and I started walking side by side to the kitchen in silence. I took in the fresh air but it was soon replaced by the smell of bacon and toast. Newt and I arrived at the kitchen.

'Hey Y/n.' said Frypan

'Hi Fry, breakfast smells nice'

'Thank you. Finally someone appreciates my cooking skills' Frypan jokes

I laugh back as I wait for Newt to get his breakfast too. Once he got it, we made our way to table that Chuck and Alby were already at.

'Hey guys' I said

'Hi' they replied

'So Y/n, you will start jobs today. You will start with the slicers at the Bloodhouse and then after lunch you will go to the baggers by the deadheads.' informed Alby

'Ok.' I hummed

We ate our breakfast in silence, obvious that we all were still half sleep. After I had finished my breakfast I got up and waves goodbye to my friends as I made my way to the infamous Bloodhouse.
