One Love Yet Loved By Many

To Ask or Not To Ask?

NEWT'S POV

I woke up the next morning and felt sudden dread. I had told Thomas that I would ask out Y/N today but I don't think that I can. How could someone as worthless as me ask out the most beautiful and amazing girl in the Glade? She is flawless in every way and then there's me with my stupid limp. 

I could ask her out in the Gardens today. Or at dinner. Then an idea hit me. I noticed that Y/N alway went to a certain tree at lunch time. I could surprise her there. Yes, this could work. I swore to myself to follow through with this.

I headed down to the Gardens where I saw Ed and y/n working. I felt a wave of jealousy as I saw her laughing at some joke he made. Then I saw something else. I wanted to run and punch Ed in the face. I wanted to scream and shout. I wanted to whisk y/n away to a place where we could be together forever. I wanted to end all the pain.

When y/n lifted up her head from laughing Ed kissed her.

I turned away and went to the Medjacks. I told them I wasn't feeling well. They were about to feel my head when I threw up. I hated everything. I hated Ed. I hated this Maze. I hated myself. I hated how I couldn't have asked her out sooner.

Clint and Jeff cleaned me up and put me down on a bed. I sobbed. What is the shucking point? 

YOUR POV

"Knock knock," Ed said.

"Who's there?" I replied

"Orange."

"Orange who?"

"Orange you glad I asked you out?"

I laughed awkwardly and looked down. Ed was a great guy but I did not like him that way. His constant flirting was starting to really annoy the klunk out of me.I joined this job to get closer to Newt but instead Ed was trying to get closer to me. I think he thinks that I took this job because of him.

I looked up and was going to change the subject when Ed was kissing me. His eyes were closed so he couldn't see that my eyes were open in terror. I pushed him off of me.

"Ed what the shuck?" I exclaimed angrily.

Ed looked hurt but I couldn't be there. I felt bad for hurting his feelings but he just forced himself on me and I did not like it. I ran to the only place I felt safe: my tree. As I was running there I saw Newt running towards the Medjacks. He looked sick. I looked at my tree and then decided to follow Newt instead. 

As I was about to enter the wing I heard Newt throw up. I backed up. I decided to wait until Newt was feeling better. I sat at the front of the Homestead and waited. About fifteen minutes later I heard the Medjacks leave and I got up. They looked at me grimly and told me to head on in. 

I walked upstairs and saw Newt lying down on the bed crying. When he heard me walk in he started to dry his eyes. Then he looked over and saw that it was me. 

"Oh hey y/n," he greeted. He managed to dry eyes but his shirt was wet. "I won't make it to work today. I am just feeling under the weather."

"Oh that's a bummer," I said ready to break this weirdness between us. "I was looking forward to hanging out with you."

"What about your- your-" Newt stumbled before finally saying that terrible word that referred to Ed, "your boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" I questioned him. "I don't have a boyfriend. Now there is a guy a like but he still hasn't asked me out. Makes me so sad to think about that."

"I you're talking about Alby I will throw up again," Newt said trying to joke around but failing miserably. 

"No not Alby. And if you say Gally then I'll throw up," I tried to joke back. He smiled softly. 

I sat down on the bed. "My guy is tall. He has gorgeous blonde locks of hair. He has soft brown eyes that no matter how brightly he smiles are always full of sadness. He is always looking out for everyone and making sure they are happy and contempt. He makes sure everyone is held together while he breaks himself. He doesn't think anyone sees it but I do. It's one of the first things I noticed. Probably because everyone used their ears and I used my eyes."

Newt looked at me. He didn't bother hiding his tears. He sat up and looked at me. "Well I have a girl in mind too. She is easily the most beautiful person I have ever seen. She has y/h/l y/h/c hair that is beautiful. She has the most amazing smile. But my favorite is her sparkling y/e/c eyes. So full of joy and kindness. And her personality. Oh where to begin. She's so compassionate and loving. She puts others needs before hers and always has her eyes, ears and heart open for others. She is in short, perfect."

I kissed him. For real this time. No dare. No joke. No game. I kissed Newt like I loved him because I did.

"Y/N," he said breaking the kiss. "Would you like to go out on a date with me?"
