Finding Neverland (Newt x OC x Minho)

The Tree House

Narrator's POV

You asked Gally to build you a tree house just around the deadheads, on a tree with Newt's carvings on it. That day, after a long day at the kitchen, you went back to Newt's room and laid on his bed. Newt was lying on the other side of the bed and when he realised that you were there on his bed, he inched closer to you and hugged you. He mumbled something incoherently but you decided to let that go. Newt missed you so much. He really wanted to hold you in his arms badly after what happened along those days back then.

You hugged his waist and snuggled onto his chest. You admired his face. You ran your fingers on his face, tracing your index finger all over his face. His nose, his cheeks, his lips, his eyes, his ears, every inches of your face. You leaned your head on his bare chest and felt his thumping heartbeat. You didn't realise you really fell for him. But on the other hand, you didn't really know how you feel for the other guy, Minho.

"I love you, Mia," Newt said as he opened his eyes and leaned closer, pressing his forehead to yours.

"Pardon me?" you joked at him.

"I remembered one thing, I loved you before the maze," He paused. "And still am in love with you now." He said and hugged you.

"The tree house should be ready by next week. We can watch the stars together at our tree house," You smiled. "I wanna show you Neverland," you grinned.

"Never... what?" He asked. You giggled because you found both Newt and Minho were cute and actually having the same expression when you called out Neverland.

"It's Neverland, the place where the brightest star is. If you want I can take you. It might take long though." You smiled and draw circles on his chest.

"How long?' he asked.

"A light year and a day." You grinned.

"I'd like to, love," He smiled and hugged you. Although that morning felt really windy and cold, his body heat was really warm and it could melt all your worries away.

"I'll do it as long as it's with you," He grinned and leaned in to kiss your lips.

You smiled in the kiss and flung your hands around his neck. "Newt, we need to eat. It's Sunday, I know. But I'm hungry," you parted away from the kiss.

"Let's go to fry and have something to eat," He said as he wore his hoodie. Then he took you by the hand and lead you out of his room, straight to the kitchen.

Mia's POV

Newt and I went to have breakfast. It's been a while since I last enjoyed breakfast. Well two days to be exact. After that incident, I didn't dare to walk near that wall. I'm afraid I'll lose somebody else inside the maze. I almost lost Minho and Tommy, and I couldn't afford to lose anybody else. Gally said the builders had finished doing my cottage and the lookout tower. I thanked and hugged Gally and gave him a smile. Gally wasn't that sceptic and cynical around me. He slowly turned really friendly and caring towards me. Yet, he still hated Tommy. I knew why though. He still saw Tommy as one of those people who had trapped him in the glade.

"Surprise," Someone hugged me from the back.

"Minho," I looked behind me and found the tall Asian boy with spikey hair greeting me.

"Come join our breakfast," Newt invited him to join us.

"Today will be the meeting of the keepers. To decide Thomas' fate after barging into the maze." Zart joined us.

"You're leading the meeting, Newt. Since Alby is downed," Clint said.

"I'll go see Tommy first. I'll put some sedatives into him," I joked. My twin brother could be furious sometimes. But this time, I just wanted to make sure he's not impulsive nor stupid enough to fight 30 boys just because he wanted to be a runner.

[few hours later, at the council meeting]

I was sitting between Jeff and Clint, Minho was standing in front of the council with half of the keepers, along with Newt, Gally, Zart, and Fry. Gally was on the floor opening up the discussion.

"Things are changing. There's no denying that. First, Ben gets stung in broad daylight. And then Alby." He paused and pointed his index finger to Thomas. "And now our Greenie, here, has taken it upon himself...to go into the maze."He stopped to take a deep breath. "Which is a clear violation of our rules here."

"Yeah... but he saved Alby's life." Fry tried to reason with Gally. He knew that Gally would try all his might to get Tommy through the banishment.

"Did he? For 3 years, we have coexisted with these things. And now, you've killed one of them."Gally said, there is a tone of hatred in his words. "Who knows what that could mean for us."

"What do you suggest we do?" Newt said gently leaning on the pole.

"He has to be punished." Gally said firmly.

"Come on. He killed a Griever!" Jeff said.

"Minho." Newt called. "You were there with him. What do you think?"

"I think..." Minho said, he was standing lousily holding onto the wooden bar. "In all the time we've been here... no one has ever killed a Griever before." He then looked down and look right into my eyes. "When I turned tail and ran... this dumb shank stayed behind to help Alby." I sat there, covering my face, Minho knew I was crying.

"Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid." Minho continued. "But whatever it is, we need more of it." He paused he looked at Thomas with a proud gaze. "I say we make him a runner." He declared.

"A runner? What?" Gally said. Not agreeing to any single reasons Minho stated. 

"Minho, let's not jump the gun, here." He tried to reason with Minho.

"Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!" Chuck chanted.

"If you want to throw the newbie a parade, that's fine. Go ahead. But if there is one thing I know about the maze... it is that you do not-" Gally stormed out of the council hall.

"Gally," Fry tried to hold him back.

"No, Fry," He pushed Frypan away.

And then, There's a familiar voice blaring all around the glade.

The Box...
