Newt // Domestic Moments (Pt.2)

Newt and I were happily sitting under a large tree beside the homestead after a long day of working in the gardens. Newt had one arm around my waist and the other holding onto one side of a book while I held the other. We had requested a few books in the box for times like this when we were bored.

He pecked my forehead which was his signal for me to flip the page. I curled back into his chest and closed my eyes, allowing the peaceful atmosphere to put me to sleep.

Until Chuck came running over, yelling about something Thomas did. He was covered in flour from the kitchen from head to toe. Newt and I just rolled out eyes and laughed at the immature gladers before returning to our book.

I was woken up from the sound of soft whimpers and a shaking body underneath me. I sat up and looked down at Newt. Sweat covered his bare chest and face as he kicked at the sheets around his legs. His lips were mumbling inaudible words and his eyes darted underneath his closed eyelids.

He had nightmares occasionally, all about the maze or his fall, and I usually could wake him up easily by calling his name and shaking him. Unfortunately this time, it didn't work. I wasn't sure what to do now since he had always woken up when I tried.

I laid back down across him and wrapped my arms tightly around his torso. His fast beating heart thumping against my ear was slowly slowing down. His body stilled and his mouth closed. After another couple minutes, his heartbeat returned to normal and he carefully set his hands on my waist.

"Love?" He croaked while peeling his eyes open. I sat up and pushed away a few strands of hair sticking to his wet forehead. "Did-did I wake you?"

"Yeah, but it's alright. As long as you're okay now," I said hoping my smile would calm him even more. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Okay," I said lying beside him. "Come here." He hesitantly put his head on my shoulder. I giggled and grabbed his body and pulled it over mine until he was lying directly on top of me.

"What are you-" he began but I brushed my fingers through his soft hair while calmly shushing him.

"Just relax, babe. I got you. I've got you," I whispered while gliding my hand over his bare back. It was sticky still from the sweat but I didn't care. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his cheek on my right shoulder.

I drew delicate lines across his back before shifting my idea. I started writing out words over his skin and smiled once I felt his breath become even.

Handsome

Caring

Strong

Brave

Sweet

Loving

These were all the words I carefully traced on his back. I then started drawing small phrases I thought when I heard his name.

My everything

My love

My rock

My knight

My Newt

I love you

When he woke up, he could feel the lines drawn on his skin where my nail would have scraped. He would know that even while he slept, I made sure he was calm and knew he was loved by me. This just made him smile.

We were busy working inside the gardens like usual when I got a sudden idea. I had finished wrapping all the vines with Newt to my left when I noticed the small patch of tiny white and purple flowers by my feet.

I picked a handful of the tiny flowers and set them in the palm of my hand. I snuck behind Newt who was intently working on wrapping the vines around the poles. I carefully- and silently- slipped the flowers into his hair.

I did this until Alby called his name. "I'll be right back love," he said pecking my cheek. I tried to tell him about his hair, but he ran off towards our leader too quickly.

"Hey Alby what's-" he stopped talking when Alby bursted out laughing. Newt just looked at him confused before Alby cried out, "wow Newt, I didn't know you were into flowers." He pointed towards his hair.

Newt ran his hand through his hair and pulled out one of the small flowers. He then turned to me with a smirk. I had red cheeks and an innocent smile.

"Love?" He asked stopping in front of me and placing the flower in my hand. "Why did you put flowers in my hair?"

I giggled and took out another from his hair. "Well you were working so nice and you looked so cute that I couldn't resist."

He smiled and let out a sigh before pulling one of the flowers from my hand and placed it in my hair. He smiled at his work before pulling our lips together.

He laughed. "You're such a dork."
