Thomas Brodie Sangster Imagines

IMAGINE: Trying to make Newt jealous

     You watch Newt from across the Glade with a stupid lovesick smile on your lips. Ever since you came to the Maze, you have had the biggest crush on Newt. Rumors have been going around the Maze for a while that Newt and you are a couple. While you've never expressed your feelings for each other, Newt and you don't dispel the rumors.

      Newt catches you staring at him. He sends a cute smile and a wave your way before going back to work. You sigh happily.

      "I don't know about you, Minho, but I'd say this girl is in love." Thomas says, sidling up next to you, Minho next to him.

      You blush. "Stop." You gush to your two best friends.

     "Why don't you guys just start dating already? Everyone knows you two have the hots for each other." Minho tells you, throwing an arm around your shoulders.

      "I don't know." You shift uncomfortably.

      Thomas looks down to meet your eyes. "You're not scared to tell Newt that you like him, are you?"

      "Maybe..." You bite your lip.

      "Y/N! Come on! He already knows you like him! He likes you too! He's probably just waiting for you to tell him." Minho says.

       You look between him and Thomas. "And I'm waiting for him to tell me!" You cross your arms. "I don't want to make the first move. I'm not-I'm not good at stuff like that."

        "Maybe Newt isn't either." Thomas points out. You frown.

       "How about we help you?" Minho suggests.

      "What?" Thomas and you ask in unison, staring at Minho.

     "If you're too scared to tell Newt how you feel, let's try to get him to tell you. I just want you two to be together. Everyone knows you should! We need to face the elephant in the room–or the Glade. Whatever." Minho states.

      "What do you have in mind?" Thomas asks.

      "Let's make Newt jealous." Minho grins mischievously.

       Your interests piques and you turn to face Minho. "Go on."

      "Thomas and I can pretend that we're interested in you. You can pretend to enjoy all of the attention. It'll make Newt so jealous he'll just have to say something to you."

     I like it!" You exclaim, grinning.

      "I'm game." Thomas agrees.

     "Operation Make-Newt-Jealous has begun." Minho rubs his hands together.

———

     Minho and you go first. You walk through the Glade, making sure to walk past Newt. Minho and you laugh at nothing and you playfully hit him in the arm, grinning. Newt looks up at the sound of your laugh and then his face darkens when he sees Minho smiling down at you. Minho moves a piece of hair behind your ear and you look shyly down. He gently grabs your hand and prods you away from Newt.

      You look up at Minho when you're out of earshot from Newt. "Do you think he noticed?" You whisper.

      Minho casually glances behind and then looks at you, grinning triumphantly. "From the evil look on his face and his glare plunging daggers into my back, I'd say yes."

      You laugh softly. "You know he's probably going to hate you, right?"

      He shrugs. "As long as he and you end up together, it'll be worth it."
