Sempiternal//Newt (maze runner)✔

First kiss

"This is a terrible idea"

"Please Teresa? Please?"

"Ugh, fine. But only this once"

It had been a month since Cathy last saw Newt and the girl grew even more frustrated as the days passed. She thought she'd get over him, he was just another boy.

But who was she kidding. That 'another boy' was Newt and anyone would fall for the sweet guy that he was. She'd talked to Teresa about this thing that was bothering her so much. Teresa had noticed the lively girl had gone quiet and wasn't her usual self. Even Minho and the other boys noticed something was off. When Winston pointed out that the girl had completely stopped using her nicknames for them, it was only obvious that she was not okay.

Cathy told Teresa, the only person she could have a girl-to girl talk with, since she didn't talk to Rachel, another girl who was one of the organisation's 'favourites'. She told Teresa how calling the others by their nicknames reminded her of Newt for some reason and then she further explained how she'd never get to meet him.

She'd asked Teresa to hack into the cameras in the hallway and play a loop of an empty halfway just for a couple of hours so that she could slip away and get to meet the boy.

Teresa was hesitant at first but eventually, gave into her best friend's crazy idea. Besides, she wanted Cathy to experience happiness and if that's what Newt gave her, then she'd help them see each other.

Cathy was currently in her room, waiting for half past twelve. At that moment, Teresa would play the loop and that would give Cathy the perfect chance to slip away.

Time couldn't move any slower and the girl was going mad.

Checking her watch for the hundredth time that evening, the girl sighed with content when it was time.

"Can I leave now?" Cathy asked Teresa

"Yes, but you only have an hour and a half. Newt's room is now on the fifth floor. That's two floors beneath yours. His door has 'subject 05' labelled on it"

"Thanks"

Cautiously opening the door, the girl looked around for any guards. There wouldn't be any at this hour anyway except near door entry entries of the building and out on the grounds and terrace.

Without making too much noise, Cathy dashed toward the stairs. Once she'd made it to the fifth floor, she looked around for a door with that similar silver nameplate. After she'd found it, Cathy slowly opened the door and stepped into the room. She looked at the boy who was asleep on his bed. Shutting the door, she quietly stepped toward him. His bedside lamp was left on and she noticed a new clock had been placed there to replace the one he broke. She shifted her gaze to Newt. The boy had his eye brows furrowed and he didn't look peaceful at all.

Cathy gently pushed back his sandy blonde bangs away from his forehead before bending over and kissing his forehead. She was a bit hesitant to waking him up first but then again, she didn't plan this whole thing to just kiss his forehead in his sleep.

"Psst, Newt" Cathy gently shook him "Newt? Wake up, it's me"

The boy stirred in his sleep before raising his hand to rub his eyes.

"Five more minutes" he mumbled on his sleep "I'll make my bed too"

Cathy giggled as she poked his cheek.

"Wake up Peaches" she wispered.

The boy slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and blinked several times and rubbed his eyes hard before flopping back down on his pillow.

"Bloody hell, I'm hallucinating now" he sighed.

"No you aren't" Cathy chuckled as she kissed his cheek "does that prove I'm really here?"

Newt opened his eyes and looked at her with utter shock before wrapping arms around her and pulling her close.

"You're really here!" He said, sounding surprised "I mean you're here. Right now..I.."

The girl laughed as Newt stuttered, still not over the fact that she was in his arms. It had been a month since he'd last held her.

"How'd you get them to let you come see me?" He asked, pulling away just a little bit so he could look at her.

"I didn't" she shrugged "I sneaked out. Teresa helped with that"

"How have you been?" Newt asked "Didn't miss me too much, did you?"

"It's like a living hell" Cathy groaned "it's just work, work and work. And did I mention work?"

Newt laughed a little bit.

"And no I didn't miss you" Cathy smirked.

"Of course you didn't" Newt narrowed  his eyes while smiling fondly at her "I mean I didn't miss you too"

"Yea, how could I miss seeing you smile and laugh at my cockiness" Cathy said, trying to sound serious and failing "nope didn't miss it"

"And I didn't miss you calling me peaches" Newt pulled the girl onto his lap "and I didn't miss your singing"

"And I didn't miss dancing with you" Cathy tried to keep a straight face when she realised she was straddling him "didn't miss your cute accent or when you call me squirt or love"

"I didn't miss your hugs" Newt pulled her closer, now looking at her lips "didn't miss seeing you bite your lips"

"Or when you blush" Cathy's voice grew softer as she too began to stare at his lips.

"Or that time we almost..." Newt said that almost as a whisper. He'd gotten so close that their noses touched and their lips brushed against each others.
Lifting one hand from her waist, he brought it up to her cheek where he gently caressed her.

"Newt," Cathy breathed "I like yo-"

Without waiting for her to finish, Newt leaned in and closed the gap by pressing his lips gently against hers. Cathy's hands slid up his chest before wrapping them around his neck as she melted into the kiss. Newt tilted his head to deepen the kiss while he sucked on her bottom lip. Cathy let her hand run through his hair, gently tugging on his locks to which the boy responded to by moaning softly. Newt pushed the girl onto her back before climbing on top and attaching their lips together. Cathy tangled her fingers in his hair again, pulling him closer.

"Newt" Cathy moaned his name into the kiss as the boy nibbled her bottom lip, the wet noises of their lips running over each other's filled the room.

The two didn't know how long they'd been kissing for but they were running out of breath. After a few seconds Newt pulled away, panting heavily.

"Cathy? You've only got 20 minutes to get back before the loop stops playing"

The girl's eyes shot open before quickly getting up with a jolt, leaving Newt feeling confused.

"Did I do something?" He asked meekly, slightly afraid that he'd gone too far.

"No Newt" Cathy smiled sweetly before pecking his lips making him blush "I've got to get back before they catch us"

"Oh..right" Newt cleared his throat and hoped his cheeks weren't too red.

Cathy slid down his bed and made her way toward his door. Before she could leave, she looked at him and smirked.

"You know, Minho was right. You're nickname should be Tomato instead of Peaches"
