Ellia smiled at Newt, "Nope. I like you both the same."

Newt approached the two. After seeing Newt Tim had abandoned Ellia's side. He stuck his tongue out at Newt and ran off after some kid named Joe. "I'm not buyin' it."

"You're right... Right now I don't like you very much at all." The smirk on Newt's face quickly vanished. It quickly reappeared on Ellia's face though.

Newt drew her closer. "Ahhh you're just sayin' that. I've got a new theory though." Be called her bluff.

"Yeah, what's that?"

"You can admit it... You like me more." Newt flashed her a toothy grin.

Ellia did not falter on her first claim. "I like you both the same... Just differently."

He could work with different. "Explain differently." Newt once again moved closer to her. Usually he would try to refrain from being overly affectionate in the hub of the Glade. He didn't even exactly know what label would be used to describe the two.

"I dunno how to explain it... just different." Ellia's face was heating up. She didn't know how to word it.

"Try?"

That was unfair. His request came out in almost a whisper... A hypnotic one at that. "I... Well... I guess..."

Newt wouldn't make her say it. He knew what she was trying to say and that worked for him. He smiled and leaned his head down enough that he could kiss her. It was odd to think of how he knew things. He couldn't remember seeing anyone ever do it, but then he just knew to do it. He supposed someone had to be the first one do it (he knew he was not that person), but he guessed to that person they must've felt the same way he felt. He didn't really know what he was doing, but it felt right. So he did it and it was utterly satisfying.
