The Maze Runner: Imagines and Preferences [Currently Closed]

Imagine #3: Newt

This is set before the Maze

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I sat with my best friend, Teresa, at our usual table in the cafeteria of WICKED. I felt Teresa lightly kick my leg. I looked up. "What?"

"He's staring at you again."

"Oh, sod off."

Teresa had this idea that the blonde British boy, Newt I think he is called, keeps staring at me.

"It's true. He does it all the time."

"And why exactly would he stare at me?"

"Why wouldn't he? You're gorgeous."

I glanced behind me and could've sworn I saw the boy quickly turn back to his friends.

"Plus, (Y/N), I know you stare at him too."

"What... how?"

"Oh, come on. You're not exactly discrete about it. Neither is he."

I looked back to the boy and this time our eyes met.

Newt's P.O.V

I sat staring at (Y/N). I heard her laughing at one of Teresa's jokes. Her laugh was music to my ears.

"Earth to Newt," I heard Minho say.

I shook my head to get out of my daze. "Sorry."

"Just ask her out already. You stare at her all the time and she stares back," Thomas said.

"She doesn't stare at me."

"She just did it then," Frypan stated.

I looked up and when I saw the girl looking at me I turned to look at my friends. A few minutes later, I looked back and this time our gazes met...

Normal P.O.V

That night, you lay wide awake in the room you and Teresa shared. She wasn't there since one of her tests took a little longer than expected. You found yourself thinking of Newt and little did you know, he was thinking of you. You decided that you needed to sleep. You turned over and closed your eyes.

Newt's P.O.V

I closed my eyes many times in an attempt to get to sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. I saw (Y/N). I stood up and moved towards Thomas' bed.

"Newt what are you..." he then realised the reason for my actions. "You're going to sneak out and see her aren't you?"

I nodded and pulled away the cover of the vent. I got on my hands and knees and crawled inside.

Normal P.O.V

You shot up to see the cover of your vent slide across the room and Newt crawl out from under Teresa's bed.

"Newt, what are you..."

You were cut off by his lips on yours. The kiss was sweet and soft. Newt's hands found your waist and you moved one of your hands to rest on the back of his neck and the other ran through his soft blonde hair.

You pulled apart and rested your forehead against his.

You made your way over to your bed and gestured for him to join you. That night, you had no nightmares because Newt was there to chase your demons away.

6 months later...

"NO!" you screamed as two guards dragged your boyfriend away.

You ran up to him and he pulled away from the guards. "Are you still wearing it so you don't forget me?" you asked.

He glanced at his wrist and you saw the bracelet on his wrist that had (Y/N) carved into it.

"I love you, Newt."

"I love you too, (Y/N)."

You kissed him one more time before the guards dragged him into the Box. You turned around and sobbed into Thomas' chest. He stroked your hair and glanced at Teresa who was in shock. Tears glazed her eyes. She walked over and hugged you. She had seen people go into the Box before but they never had to say goodbye to the love of their life.

You ran over to your station and saw that Newt had just arrived in the Glade. He was spoken to by Alby but was too distracted by the bracelet on his wrist. He traced his thumb over it and mouthed the name, a slight smile appeared on his face.

You smiled too. He didn't forget you.
