Newt Imagines

Newt Imagine 1

After a long day working with Minho in the Maze, you leave the Map Room to go and find your best friend, Teresa. You check the Gardens, where she normally works, but can't find her. Eventually, after searching the Deadheads, you find Newt, and ask him if he's seen her.
'Um, I saw her head into the Homestead earlier, but I'm not sure if she's still there,' he says.
'Okay, thanks!' you say, and turn to walk off, but before you can, he grabs your hand.
'Y/N?' he says.
'Yes?'
'Meet me in the Deadheads at 9:30, okay?'
You squeeze his hand, and he squeezes back in response.
'Okay.'
You let go of his hand, and hug him before wandering off to the Homestead.

You see Teresa walking out, not looking particularly happy. You run over to her, and open your arms, and she walks into them without hesitation.
'You okay?' you ask.
She moves away, and nods her head before wiping away a tear in her eye.
'How's Tom?' you ask.
Thomas, your best friend and running partner, and Teresa's boyfriend, was stung by a Griever in the maze a week beforehand. You had to drag him out, and the doors shut minutes after you arrived.
'He's starting the Changing. I hope he's okay afterwards.' she replies, and begins to sob uncontrollably.
'In sure he will be,' your concern is as large as hers. He is, other than Teresa, your best friend.
'Come on, let's go to dinner. I have a feeling Frypan'll give you extras today' you say with a laugh.
She smiles at you before saying 'Come on, you shank, I'll race you.' and speeds off. You stop for a brief moment, and then speed off after her.

As soon as you arrive at the kitchens, you grab your food. You were right, Frypan gives you both extra. You find Minho, at sit at the table with him.
'Hey Y/N!' he says.
'Hi!' you say in reply. 'Where's Newt?' I thought he would be here.'
'He stayed in his room,' he mumbles through a mouthful of sandwich. 'Said he wasn't hungry.'
'You don't realise how off-putting it is when you eat, do you?' exclaims Teresa.
Minho swallows quickly. 'Sorry, I'm just hungry, you know. Someone-' he looks at you. 'Lost their pack in the maze, and I had to give them mine! ' He scowls at you and then bites into his sandwich again. It was true, you dropped it when you were running, and Minho had given you his.
'I'm very sorry about that incident, but at least I found something!'
'Whatever...' he mumbles before taking another huge bite. 'I'm done here,' he says as he moves his plate from the table. 'I'll see you two shanks later, I suppose.' and walks off.
'Well, you're a smart one, aren't you?' Teresa remarks sarcastically.
'Whatever,' you reply,trying to sound a little serious, but you couldn't help but laugh. 'Anyways, I better go. I said I'd meet Newt in the Deadheads.'
Teresa looks at you with a wide grin on her face. 'Wow, only been here two months, and even the boys you fancy are hitting on you!' she says, laughing a little too loudly.
'Slim it, will you?' I reply, giggling. It was true, you did love him. Even though he didn't like you back.
'My lips are sealed.' She says with a wink.
'Anyways, I'll see you in the Homestead later, 'kay?'
'Okay, see you then.'
You spin round and run towards the Deadheads.

'Hey there, Y/N!' says Newt.
'Hey,' you reply as you sit yourself on the ground beside him. 'So, what did you want to speak to me about?'
He stumbles for words for a few moments, before finding the right ones and delivering them.
'Uhm, I-I really don't want you back in the Maze.'
'Why not?'
'You can't get hurt again. I can't stand seeing you in pain.'
A few weeks back, you were stung in the maze, and Minho had to carry you back to the Glade. You knew it had a bad effect on Newt, although you weren't sure why. After all, you weren't that close.
'I have to, Newt,' you say with a sigh. 'I love it. I love being free out there.'
He tucks the strand of hair on your face behind your ear, and looks at you with a real sadness in his eyes.
'Y/N?' he sighs.
'Yes?' you say, and shift closer to him.
'I love you, Y/N.' he says.
You look at him, taken aback.
'I love you too, Newt.'
You move over to him and sit in his lap. He presses his lips against yours, and you feel a warmth inside your chest, and you kiss him back. After what seems like forever, you pull back and rest your head on his chest, and he kisses the top of it.
'Y/N, I'm not letting you back in there.' he says.
'Please, Newt?' you say, batting your eyelashes at him.
'Fine,' he says hesitantly. 'But only because I love you enough to know that you won't get hurt.'
'Do me a favour,' you say. 'and try not to hit yourself with a spade?'
'Very funny,' he replies, stifling a laugh. 'I'll give it a shot.'
You laugh, and stand up, pulling Newt up when you are on your feet. He pulls you in for a hug, and you stand on your tip-toes and kiss him lightly on the lips. You move away and grab his hand, intertwining his fingers with yours.
You walk, hand in hand, back to the Homestead, smiling at each other, both of you glad that they met.
