Maybe we can be friends?

BFFS

Rue's eyelids fluttered open, a calm quiet with only the sound of Newt's gentle breathing as he slept in her arms. She smiled contently, that was probably the most sleep she had gotten since this whole thing started. Sighing, she lent her head in the juncture of the sleeping boy's neck.

At some point they would have to get up, she knew that, it was just that she didn't want to. The calm of it all satisfied some part of her that had been begging to feel warmth and have someone to hold onto again. Rue decided at that moment that they would become best friends and  that she would vow to protect him with her life.  Feeling Newt stir in her arms, she took her head back and placed it against the wall behind her. 

A small whimper left his lips as he shook awake. 

"morning," Rue whispered, her breath ghosting over Newt's ear. She started to loosen her grip round his waist. Newt sighed and moved his hands from Rue's on his knees before yawning. 

"Good morning," he mumbled, still groggy from having just woken up. They stayed in that position for a little while. 

Rue broke the silence "We should get going, the place I'm thinking of is only a little way from here," She only got a grunt in reply as Newt stood up, stretching his legs out. Rue slowly got up and paced over to her bag, which contained key things if they were going to survive: A shot-gun, a  pistol, bullets, food and water.

"Where are you thinking of going?" 

"There's a store not far from here, I want to see if there's anything we need in there," Realising she said we, her face reddened "That is, if you're coming with me," Rue attempted to fix her mistake and just smirked as if it were a joke. There wasn't an awkward tension between the two any more, especially after spending the night in the position they did. Newt, at first, didn't know how to answer but then he thought he would never be able to survive without the help of this strange girl he had just met.

"I'm coming with you," He stated, sure of his answer, he found this girl intriguing and felt they would get along so of course, he was going to come with her.
