Newtmas

Chapter 7

I would really appreciate it if anyone could make a new cover for this, fanart or edit. It should include the book's name and my username. I will dedicate a chapter, follow you and love you forever <3<3<3<3

"You know, Minho's probably going to come bursting through that door any second, he didn't sound happy when he realised I was going in here" I say, my head still resting on Newt's. "So we should probably get into a less compromising position, unless you want him blabbing to the entire Glade." Newt chuckles and steps back. He sits down at the table and I lean back against the wall. I suddenly realise that we have no reason to be in here so when Minho bursts through the door a second later, my heart rate increases significantly.

"WHAT THE SHUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?! NEWT I CAN JUST ACCEPT BUT THOMAS YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN HERE!!!" he yells, startling me. I look at Newt desperately, hoping he can improvise.

"I asked him to meet me Mihno, I said it was urgent, just calm down, I reckon he's gonna be a runner anyway so he will be seeing a lot of this room" Newt manages to scrap together a flimsy excuse, and thankfully Minho doesn't question what we were talking about. When Newt says he thinks I'm going to be a runner I look up at him smiling, feeling almost as though I have been allowed, and I have earnt my place.

"Okay, fine, but you still shouldn't be in here, thankfully I like both of you. I need some more time to see if Thomas has what it takes, but he is under consideration, now get out of here!" Newt laughs and shakes his head, slowly standing up and following Minho's orders. I simply smile thankfully, I can't believe he is actiually considering me as a runner. I leave in front of Newt and go back to the bonfire. By now nearly everyone has gone to sleep, just Minho, Ben, Newt, Alby, Gally and I remain. Gally finishes talking to Ben and starts in the direction of the homestead. It's weird, none of us could possibly know what time it is, but I can almost sense that it's somewhere near 1AM.

"I'm going to bed, I can't stay up all night" yawns Newt. As he stretches through the yawn, he looks adorable and my insides melt. I find myself subconciously smiling and staring, as soon as I do I snap my vision away only to see Alby eyeing me suspiciously.

"I'm going to hit the hay too, and I suggest so do all of you, can't have a load of miserable slintheads in the morning now can we?" everyone yawns their agreement and heads towards bed, Newt in the lead. Alby brings up the rear behind me. I feel him grab my arm and pull me back slightly. "what's going on with you and Newt, I saw the way you were looking at him, and since you came, he has been happier than I have seen him in months" I feel myself blush but try to act natural.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" I say with a quick smile. He shakes his head in disbelief, but with a smile playing across his features, and lets go of my arm. I turn away and head to bed.

I like the idea of Alby being the first to figure it out, I feel like he would be the first to notice a change in Newt, and anyone looking at Newt.
