the brutal picnic ~Newt~

You knew Gally and Newt both liked you. And honestly you didn't know who you liked more. Gally was always polite and kind to you unlike the other Gladers and Ben would always make fun of him for it. Although Newt would always have this goofy smile on while you were around and on some occasions, he even left flowers by whatever door you came out from after a day of running. Minho had picked up on your little dilemma and instead of helping he preferred to make any situation as awkward as he possibly could. But then again, that was Minho.
After a day running, you entered the Homestead with Minho. Before you sat down Newt stopped you.
"Hey Y/N! I was wondering if you'd like to have lunch with me? I mean, I got Frypan to prepared this picnic for us so we can have it in the woods." He asked timidly. Minho was laughing his head off and making lovey-dovey gestures. Then he sat at a table next to Ben and Alby who began laughing too. Although all of this, you smiled and looked at Newt who was towering over you.
"I'd love to! Let me just change my shoes" you grinned, turning to leave Newt standing speechless.
After changing from your trainers you quickly ran back to meet Newt. While waiting outside you could hear shouts from inside the Homestead. Curiosity got the better of you and you walked in through the doors. Newt was holding his jaw in pain as Gally was standing beside him kicking his stomach.
"How dare you ask Y/N out! She likes me!" Gally shouted. Newt got to his feet carefully then with all his strength punched Gally in the abdominal. Gally doubled over and Newt took the opportunity to knee him in the face making Gally fall to the ground with a bleeding nose. Minho had gathered a crowd and convinced the Gladers to chant "Fight! Fight! Fight!" You had enough.
"What the hell are you doing?!" You demanded. The two boys briskly stood up straight, wiping away any blood. The rest of the Gladers quieted down too. "What is this?!"
"I was teaching Newt a lesson" Gally explained guiltily, reaching out to grab your hand. You shook him off.
"Just 'cause you couldn't grow a pair and ask her yourself don't mean I can't" Newt fumed rubbing his tender jaw.
"Slim it!" Gally said, veins popping.
"Gally, you're really nice and I'm flattered that you like me but if Newt does too he has a right to ask me out," you said calmly. The corners of Gally's mouth fell to the ground. "Sorry"
"No, I get it" Gally quaked, lips trembling. He looks around at the rest of the Gladers who were watching intently. With nothing else to say he left slamming the doors behind him. Your cheeks went red as the boys stared at you.
"Come one Y/N, let's go" Newt smiled encouragingly, picking up the basket, taking your hand then leading you out the door.
