Forget (A Maze Runner/Newt Fanfiction)

13-Prank

Ky's POV:

Sitting up in the large tree, I let my mind wander. My imagination comes up with exciting and amazing scenarios that I know will never happen. I look down at my runner's watch and see that I've been sitting in this tree for 2 hours. I shrug to myself.

Oh well. If someone needs me that bad, they will find me eventually.

I yawn, and watch the sun climb higher into the sky. Minho let me off today so that he could train Thomas more.

I sit in the tree for another hour, then hear a voice shouting my name from below.

"Ky! Where are you? Hello? Ky! Are you in here?"

I smirk and let out a very convincing bird call. The voice stops shouting and I hear twigs snapping as the person comes closer and closer to my tree. I stifle a laugh and do another bird call.

"Ky?"

The person stops right below my branch. They swivel their head around, searching for me, unsuccessfully.

Suddenly, I drop down from the tree, letting out a fierce battle cry. I land behind them in a crouch.

The boy screams and falls back, scrambling away from me.

I burst out laughing and roll on the ground, giggling hysterically.

"Hey..." Newt says, pouting. "That wasn't very nice. I was coming to look for you..."

Newt gets up and crosses his arms. This just causes me to laugh harder than ever.I struggle to get a breath. Newt's face softens after a minute and he begins to smile too.

"You are so beautiful", Newt says, smiling down at me.

I stop laughing and look at him.

"Are you kidding me? I'm hideous! I have disgusting, greasy hair, dirty skin, and I'm always sweaty! How am I beautiful?"

Newt steps closer and offers me a hand, pulling me to my feet. He places his big hands on my shoulders.

"You are beautiful to me no matter what, Ky. You have such personality and spirit. I see hope in your gorgeous green eyes. Your hair and skin are perfect. I can't find a single flaw anywhere on your body, nor your heart. Don't ever think you are ugly, not even for a second, because you aren't and you would be lying to yourself."

I smile and kiss Newt gently on the cheek.

"Thank you Newt. I love you and I don't know what I'd do without you."

Newt smiles back.

"You're welcome, my angel. I love you too."

Newt pulls me close and hugs me. His heart beats steadily in his muscular chest.

"Let's go get some lunch", I say, stepping back.

Newt brushes the hair out of my face and tucks it behind my ear.

"Sure", he says, taking my hand and leading me out of the woods.

---------------

After we have finished eating our lunch, we go over to the garden and help out Zart, the Keeper for that section.

We pick veggies, put down new fertilizer, and pull weeds.

By the end of the day, my back aches and I am extremely worn out.

I say my goodnights, and head to my hammock where I quickly fall asleep.
