Thomas Sangster & Newt Imagines

Secret Love || Newt- part 2

It was early in the morning when I had to wake up and get ready for my daily business: running the MAZE. As usual, Newt left my room sometime during the night and went for his own room, one floor above. This was the Runner's floor and above was the Keeper's floor along with Alby's and Newt's rooms.

I had a quick breakfast before heading towards the massive Doors, Minho and Thomas already waiting for me. I peeked at Newt and I saw him standing in the Gardens with one hand shielding his eyes from the sun. When his eyes found mine, he frowned then slightly nodded; it was his way of telling me to be careful out there, without dragging any attention. I nodded back then continued my jog.

„Two minutes late", Minho scolded me and grabbed my wrist, forcing me to look at my watch.

„Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night", I lied.

He gave me an annoyed look and let go of my wrist, turning on his heels and leaving for his Section. I sighed, giving Thomas an apologetic look. He just shrugged, looking amused. We both then followed Minho into the main corridor of the Maze, but then Thomas nudged me in the arm and his next words made me froze in place.

„So, did you and Newt had fun last night?", he chuckled.

„What ?!" I stopped with a worried look on my face. „What makes you say that?" I was shaking already and he could see it.

„Woah, calm down. It's not like I'm gonna tell or something", he raised his hands in defeat, whispering a bit too loud for my willing.

I gulped and took a deep breath to calm myself down.„It's not what it looks like...", I tried to convince him but he already knew I was lying. After all, he was my best friend.

„Oh, so are you going to tell me that you're not seeing Newt behind Alby's back for a couple of months now?" He folded his arms and shook his head in disagreement. „Ntz ntz I thought you trusted me more."

„I do. I just...how did you find out anyways?", I asked, folding my arms and frowning at him. We were still on the main corridor of the Maze and luckily, Minho was far away exploring his Section.

"Your room is next to mine, Shank!", he laughed punching my arm. "I hear things and I'm not stupid!"

I was shocked and speechless. My eyes widened at his statement and I gulped, my throat suddenly dry.

"Well shuck me...", I murmured staring blankly at the wall in front of me.

Thomas laughed even louder. "Errm no, I think that's Newt's job!"

I gave him a deadly glare, but then I started to laugh along with him. "You have to promise me no one would find out about it though", I told him in a more serious tone now.

"Of course I won't tell, but you should keep an eye on Gally", he said. He wasn't laughing now and he gave me a warning look.

"Gally?", I asked. "No way, he is always so nice to me!"

"I'm just saying I don't like the way he's looking at you and last night he gave you some weird glares."

I rolled my eyes at his statement. "He was probably drunk, like most of you Shanks." He didn't seem convinced, so I continued. "Remember when I first arrived in the Glade? Alby said he wants no one around me, yet he was the one who helped me with the furniture."

"Because he's a builder, that's his job!"

"To carry it? No one wanted to be spotted around me because of Alby's rule!" I defended my friend fiercely. "And he was the one who talked to me first", I added. "Not even Newt was that friendly."

Thomas just shrugged and shook his head. "Whatever, just be careful!"

"I will", I said a bit too quickly and he sensed that I was pissed.

"Okay, then", he said. "I'll see you later."

He turned on his heels, wanting to go for his own Section but I grabbed his wrist to keep him still. "Thank you though", I said and I meant it. He winked at me then went for his daily run.
