You looked out of the window to find raindrops assaulting the pavements of Paradise.

You nervously twiddled with the strap of your bag as Newt came running through the garden to the car; his head bowed in an attempt to escape the rain.

The car was a government issue car, as was the house. Being one of the few who survived the Maze did mean you got some perks. Like a car and house and a full bank account.

You, Gally, Newt and Minho had had a job deciding who would live where. Newt living with you was an obvious decision; after a year apart, not knowing if the other was still in love with you or even alive, you could hardly have thirty seconds apart. Minho and Gally settled in a small house together and just down the road from  you.

Along with the houses, cars, everything you could ever want and some things you didn't, they had cut you another deal: You had to go to school.
Your first thought had been suicide, quickly followed by 'wait, there will be people there.' That thought made you steer away from killing yourself and more sprouted ideas of mass murder.
After gentle coaxing, harsh words and eventually violent threats, Newt had persuaded you to go to school.

The car door flew open and Newt slung himself inside, slamming it behind him.
"Ready to go love?" He offered a crooked grin.
"Ready to go back inside." You deadpanned.
"Here." Newt fumbled around in his bag for a moment before bringing out the biggest bar of chocolate you'd ever seen. You practically salivated at the sight of it.
"What did you have to do to get this? Sleep with the sweetshop owner?" You laughed.
"No!" He replied incredulously, "Minho did. But anyway, this is for you." You grinned and accepted, breaking off some squares for him.

After a very tense five rounds of rock-paper-scissors it was decided that Newt would drive.
He pushed his foot onto the pedal and moved his hands expertly over the steering wheel.
"Whoa, slow down there cabbie, where'd you learn how to drive like that?" You quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Y/n, darling, not everyone is as awful at driving as you." He snorted.
You opened your mouth to tell him just where he could shove his accusations when a tall stone building came into sight.

"Is this it?" You bit your lip.
"Yep," he swung into a parking space near the edge of the carpark and swivelled in his seat to face you, "there's nothing to worry about angel, Gally and Minho'll be here in a minute."
"Don't make me go." You whined, slumping in your seat, the leather cold against your cheek. He leaned forward and pushed his lips gently to yours. The kiss was short. You slipped your finger across his cheekbone.

You looked slightly passed his head to see Gally and Minho climbing out of Gally's truck.

You gave Newt one last kiss.
"Into the fray we go." You offered a weak smile and clambered out if the car.
