Her Anchor || Newt - Maze Runner

Part 23 - No One Deserves This

~Your POV~

I stirred slowly as the morning sun from the window casted a yellow hue across the room, illuminating it. Hearing a soft chuckle beside me, I opened my eyes, my y/e/c eyes locking with the deep chocolate ones belonging to a British boy.

'Good morning sleepyhead.' Newt said in a deep, raspy morning voice pulling me closer to him

'Morning.' I replied, burying my head in his chest, attempting to battle the morning, using it as a pillow along with a shade

'Let's get up, love. Come on, we have work to do.' he cooed softly. I groaned, burying my head deeper into his covered chest, warranting a deep chuckle from him. 'Okay then.' With that, he slid out of the bed as I yelped at the feeling of my head falling onto the mattress. Missing his warmth, I slowly sat up and gave him my best death stare, causing the boy to walk back over the bed, lean over and kiss the top of my head, before picking me up and chucking me over his shoulder like I weighed nothing.

'Hey!' I yelped, hitting his back with my fist trying to wriggle out of his grip. Walking over to the centre of the room, he finally put me down in front of him.

'Wasn't so hard, was it?' he smirked at me, amusement written all over his face

'I hate you.' I said turning my back to him, crossing my arms, faking resentment

'No, you don't.' Newt replied, wrapping his arms around me and giving me a quick kiss on the neck before letting me go. 

'I'm going to go to my hut, to get ready for the day, but I'll see you at breakfast, ok?' Newt said, putting his shoes on.

'Ok.' I told him, giving him a quick kiss before walking over the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Walking out of my hut, I made my way to the kitchen watching as the sun finished creeping up the ivy walls, casting a glow across the Glade, making it look like a paradise. Turning the doorknob into the kitchen, I noticed Frypan and Ace, who upon seeing my presence both looking ecstatic. 

'What?' I questioned confused by their expression. Frypan and Ace exchanged a glance before looking back at me expectantly

'Ohhh. About last night.' I said putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

'I can't believe that you two are finally together. It took shucking long enough.' Frypan beamed

'Yeah, but I don't want to see you and him making out everywhere though. Keep that private' Ace smirked in response causing me to flip him off, annoyed at his comment.

'I can't wait for you and Gally to start making out everywhere.' I rebutted in response.

'Ewww, no!' shouted Ace, disgust all over his face

'I ain't making out with a guy especially Ace, Y/n!' I heard gally yell in the distance, obviously eavesdropping on our conversation, causing Frypan to start laughing

'Stop eavesdropping Gally.' I said trying to hide my laugh. 'So, what are we making for breakfast today?' I asked Fry

'Bacon and eggs on toast.' he replied. Nodding, I quickly got to work, cooking the bacon while Frypan did the eggs and Ace did the toast. All of us worked quickly together, finishing breakfast in very little time. Frypan started serving breakfast to people, as Ace and I waited for Fry in the back.

Finally, after Frypan finished serving, all three of us got our plates and made our way to the dining wooden tables outside for the first time in a couple weeks. My eyes landed on Minho, Newt, Thomas and Chuck sitting at a table. 

'Hi guys.' beamed Chuck as the three of us took a seat at the table, happy to see us not being in the kitchen

'Hi Chuck.' I said to the young boy as I took a seat next to Newt.

'Hey love.' Newt said next to me as he gave me a little peck on the cheek, causing me to go beet red

'Hey blondie.' I replied

'We better not see any kids running around soon, ok you two?' Minho snickered

'I feel like I'm missing something.' stated Chuck, confused by Minho comment

'The two lovebirds over there are finally together, took long enough.' Ace commented

'FINALLY!' Chuck yelled causing us all the laugh at the boy's excitement. We continued the rest of breakfast, talking like we haven't talked in years and I felt whole again. After breakfast was done, Frypan, Ace and I waved the four other guys off as we started the clean-up and wash dishes. Well, more like Frypan and I were cleaning up and Ace was on the bench just talking.

'We really need to get you a job.' I commented on Aces lack of work.

'I have a job.' he replied

'What is it?'

'Being an amazing best friend.'

'You need a job you are actually good at.' commented Frypan as my eyes went wide and mouth hit the floor at his sassiness. Ace displayed a look of fake hurt

'You can help me in the Med Hut today. I'm sure Clint and Jeff would love a day off.' I offered

'Ok.' accepted Ace

Once all the dishes were cleaned and neatly put away, Ace and I left Frypan in the kitchen and we made our way to the Med Hut.

'Hey Jeff and Clint. I thought Ace could help out here with me today so you guys can have a day off.' I proposed

'Oh, thank you so much Y/n, that would be amazing.' Jeff said

'Yeah thank you. Just make sure to check on Alby every now and then.' Clint added

'Ok.' I said

'Cya' The other Med Jacks said in unison

'Bye' Ace and I said

Jeff and Clint left, leaving Ace and I in the hut. Hearing some grunts coming from a separate room, I went over to check, to find the Glade leader still in deep sleep. He looked so peaceful yet troubled with his tattered, bloodied clothes still on from the night in the Maze. Escaping the leader, I returned back to the main room where Ace was sitting deep in thought. 

'Do you ever feel like we did something to be here? Like we did something to deserve being here.' the boy said looking at me a quiet sadness displayed on his face.

'I know that we are here for some reason, but what reason exactly I'm not sure, but I know that none of us deserve to be here. None of us deserve to live in this horrible place we call home. None deserves to live here, uncertain if they are going to see tomorrow ' I replied tears prickling my eyes as my voice started to crack at the unfairness of the Gladers.

Ace nodded acknowledging my statements before coming over to hug me. We embraced, a comforting one, before letting go, allowing us both to wipe our teary eyes. I let out a little laugh at my tears. Ace went back to the chair as I started to clean up the Med Hut. 

Knock Knock

The wooden door opened revealing Minho along with Thomas, Frypan, Winston and Zart.

'Hey guys. What's up?' I asked

'Hey. We are going to go back to the Maze to look at the Griever.' replied the Asian runner

'Why?'

'Thomas was curious.'

'We were wondering if you two wanted to come.' proposed Thomas

'I'll go' Ace said

'I'll stay here as I have to look after the Med Hut.' I commented

'Ok' Minho said

'Cya Y/n' Ace said

'Bye.' I replied. With that the six of them left to the Maze, leaving me curious about what they would find. Whether they could find something to get us out of here.

A/n: I'm sorry but hear me out. Gally x Ace. I think they would be so cute together. Does anyone agree with me?
