Y/N's eyes were wide as she looked at the blonde boy. Her jaw slack as she realised that she was the cause of their dispute.

"Touch her? In what way?" Alby questioned further. Bradley was pale, knowing he wasn't going to get off easy.

Newt took another deep sigh before answering. "He said when him and
Y/N were down dancing at the bonfire, he was going to take her back to her homestead and they were going to have some fun." Alby's arms dropped, his hands in fists, matching Y/N's.

"Get him back to the slammer we'll discuss this when I don't want to beat the klunk out of him." Newt grabbed Bradley by the arm and dragged him back to the slammer, while Y/N looked at them. Still processing the thought of someone wanting to do that. To her.

Alby reaches out to touch her arm, hoping to comfort her but before he could she slowly walked away, over to the deadheads.

Not caring if she seemed dramatic, nothing happened, because Newt stopped it. But she felt defenceless. Like the other glasses feel the need to protect her. She didn't need protection.

"I can take care of myself." She mumbled to herself, subconsciously trying to convince herself her words were true. "I don't need anyone to be my bodyguard." She kept saying. Thinking she was alone and no one could hear her talk about her self doubts.

Although she was wrong. Newt, who after taking Bradley back to the pit. Caught at the corner of his eye the girl heading towards the hidden area. Well as hidden as it gets in the Glade.

He followed Y/N wanting to make sure she was okay. When he heard her muttering the things to herself.

"I don't need someone to protect me I can handle things by myself." She added. Newt decided to speak up.

"You're right, I'm pretty sure you can throw a good punch." His voice startled Y/N causing her to whip her head around to see him leaning on the tree lightly.

"Oh, hi Newt." She smiled. "Can I just say thank you." She motioned for him to sit next to her which he accepted.

"No need to thank me." He shrugged. The quiet area some how became even quieter with an awkward silence. Newt then turned to the girl suddenly becoming more brave.

"Can I ask you something?" Y/N nodded.

"Are you upset with Bradley, because you liked him?" He asked. His heart beating faster.

"No Newt it's just, I guess it kind of became clearer of how hard it's going to be to live with hormonal teenage boys. While being the only girl." She explained, looking down at her hands that were playing with a leaf.

"Can I ask another question?" Newt's chest tightened. Y/N nodded. "Do you like any like anyone in the Glade?"
Y/Ns heart fluttered kinda catching on to what he was leading up to.

"I mean I guess." She shrugged. Newt looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You guess?" He scoffed, trying not to panic and back out.

"I mean I've only been here a week, but yeah I guess I like someone." Newt then took her hands. Both were shocked.

"Newt-" Y/N tried to speak but Newt cut her off.

"Y/N please just let me do this, I don't want to make this awkward but- god I just need to get this of my chest." He sighed. "I like you. When you arrived in that box, you were just breathing taken and-" It was now
Y/N's turn to cut him off but it wasn't be speaking.

She kissed him.

It was the cliché kiss with fireworks and butterflies, and he knew he was home when her lips touched his.

They pulled away for air staring at eachother in shock. Newt titled his head with confusion held on his face. Y/N blushed smiling awkwardly as she covered her face.

"Hey." Newt said softly. Moving her hands away as she looked back up at him. "Do the universe a favour and never hide your smile." They both blushed now, just sitting on the pile of leaves looking at eachother.

"I think it's my turn to ask a question." Y/N smiled. Newt nodded for her to continue. "Can you kiss me again?"

And he did.
