(DISCONTINUED) United - Newt X Reader

Chapter 4

Your PoV

I woke up with a thumping headache. I rolled over and groaned softly. Then I heard another groan to my right, and saw Newt had slept on the floor instead of a hammock. "Urgh... Newt... Why you did you sleep on the floor?" I asked him. The sat up slowly. "I really don't bloody know. I think.... I think last night we were drunk."

I rolled my eyes at him. "No duh. But why can I remember what happened? Aren't you supposed to forget?" He looked at me. "Yeah... Last time this bloody happened I couldn't remember anything... But this time I do-" At this he looked down, blushing. Ohhhh.... He remembers... What I said.... That id kiss him... And if I did.... I'd mean it.... Oh crud. I spoke nervously. "Erm... Newt? Do you remember... That..."

He looked up at me, nodded while still blushing, and looked back down at the floor. "ah..." Was all I simply said. It was kinda awkward for a little...

Then Minho and Thomas came up to us. "Hey Newt and Y/n." Thomas greeted us. I waved and Newt said "Hi Tommy, hey Minho." Minho nodded and seemed to be smirking. "What's up with you, Minho?" I asked. He smirked at me. "Well, we saw You and Newt were blushing. So spill the beans." I looked at the ground and Newt hurriedly changed the subject. "So guys! Let's get Y/n a job! What should she try out first?" He motioned out towards the glade. Minho didn't look amused at this, but Thomas began to speak eagerly. "Yeah! How about track hoes first!" He winked at Minho. "I think that's s great id-" Minho started, but Newt cut him off.

"How about the slicers? Yeah? That's what we start all the greenies on. Come on, Y/n. Let's go!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me away.

(I'll do each job like this *Dog walker* kind of thing. Obviously not a dog walker though. I mean, where's the dogs?)

*Slicers*

Winston grabbed a knife and handed it to me. It felt natural in my hand. Well that's worrying. What if in my past I was a serial killer...? Pfft, the chances are I wasn't.

Winston then led me to where a pig had already been killed and started to explain how to cut it and gut it. I interrupted him. "Dude, Winston, shank, whatever. This feels... Natural, to me. I don't know why or how, but it does. So can I start now?" He just nodded slowly and stepped back to watch.

I quickly gutted the pig and made minimum mess, then chopped it up into neat pieces. I looked at Winston. He was nodding his head in approval. I grinned at him.

At the end of that shift, I had managed to gut and chop a total of four pigs. Yay for me.

*Builders*

Although everyone seemed to think badly of Gally, he seems like an alright guy to me.

He told me to chop down a tree and cut it into logs, if I was fine with doing that. Of course I was, though it was nice of him to ask. I don't really like some of his builder friends at the moment though...

*Trackhoes*

I was really happy to finally be able to work with newt. I just... I really like him... But I doubt that he'd even think of liking me back... Pfft, doesn't stop me from enjoying his company and fascinating British accent.

Anyway, I loved the shift where I was a trackhoe. Not only because I was working with Newt, but I genuinely like the job. I might ask to be one. It takes a lot of manual work, but I'm fine with that. Newt and I talked all through the shift. It was amazing. For me, at least.

*Baggers*

Well... That was unpleasant... Definitely not becoming one of them...

*Sloppers*

While I was working as a slopper, I made a friend. He's only about 12-13, but he's really friendly and nice. The other glades treat him like klunk, and I hate it. All he wants to do is help the others but they just laugh at him. Well, all of then except Thomas. He's sometimes nice to little Chuck. I'm going to have some words with Minho and the rest...

*Runners*

Whelp, Minho won't let me even consider becoming a runner. So that's that sorted. I suppose Minho's just being like a big brother to me, which is what Him, Thomas, Winston, Frypan and Gally are like to me. They only want to protect me... But Thomas and Minho can be the most overprotective. Sometimes it gets really annoying.
Im not sure if he only thinks as me as a sister though...
