The Fighter 》 The Maze Runner

Eleven

"Where are you taking me?" I chuckled.

I didn't know where I was, but I was blindfolded. It's weird, you would think I would be scared but I'm not. I know who I'm with. I'm happy with who I'm with.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, Danny." He said.

That voice. That accent. Newt? Why is he here? Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming. But, this feels so real...like a memory.

I tripped over something but Newt caught me, "At least tell me if I'm near something. I don't want to hit a wall or fall down into a deep hole."

I heard him chuckle, "I'll let you know."

He took my hand I'm his and one was on my waist as he guided me through some hallways. I think they were hallways with every twist and turns we had to make. We stopped and he told me to wait before opening a door. He came back and guided me inside the room.

"You can take the blindfold off." I didn't waste a second before ripping the it off.

My eyes widen. He took me to the auditorium. The stage had a picnic blanket laying on the ground with a basket. There was backdrop of what appears to be a forest. At the corner of the backdrop was a painted sun with sunglasses. You know if you ever drew the sun in elementary school and decided to draw glasses on it. I could tell that was my brother's doing.

"What's all this?" I asked. I couldn't hold back a smile.

"A celebration." He pointed to the middle right side of the room. "We were brought in here to be bloody tested. We had to get into our groups and Tommy accidentally pushed you into me."

I let out a chuckle at the memory, "Sorry about that."

"None taken. Anyway you were pushed and we both fell to the ground. You kept apologizing as we got up. Then, we introduced ourselves and talked for what felt like forever. You got called and said you'll see me around."

"So it's a celebration of our first meeting?" I asked.

He gave me a nervous smile. He grabbed my hand and brought me on the stage, "It's more than that."

I gave him a confused look, "What else could be there?"

"Something inside me decided that I wanted to get to know you better. My heart knew something I haven't known myself. It knew the moment my eyes found yours before you became one of my best friends."

"What are you saying, Newt?" I asked nervously.

"I'm in love with you, Danny."

"You are?"

He nodded. My best friend admitted being in love with me. I knew I loved him too, but I didn't know he feels the same way. It wasn't in an instant. I don't believe in that whole 'love at first sight' thing. To me it means you fell in love with the persons looks, not personality. I could honestly say I fell in love with Newt a month after our first encounter.

"Say something, Danny?" Newt said nervously.

I did the thing I always wanted to do. I grabbed his face and locked my lips with his. He seemed shocked at first, before he relaxed and wrapped his arms around my waist. I tilted my head a bit to deepen the kiss. I put my entire feelings into the kiss. I'm not really good at sharing my feelings like that, so it makes my heart melt when he did.

We broke apart and I had the biggest smile on my face, "I love you too, Newt."

He have me his huge grin before kissing me again. It didn't last long before we hear the door open. My brother and his curly hair poked his head in.

"Newt, did you tell her?" He asked hopefully. I laughed as Newt held me from behind. I see a smile on his face as he closed the door behind him. "I'll take that as a yes."

"You knew?" I asked.

He scoffed, "Yeah, everyone knew. We even made a bet to see if he chickened out, which I won."

"It's nice knowing you bet on my love life." I said sarcastically.

He held his hands up in surrended, "It's not my fault you were too blind to see it."

"Nice sun." I said as I pointed to the painting, after a while.

He smiled, "I knew you would."

I pulled him in for a hug, "Thank you, Chuck."
