A/n: this one jumps between TMR and TDC. Some spoilers but nothing you probably haven't heard before.
It was a cold night in the glade. For that reason Alby had gotten everyone to sleep inside the homestead. It was a little squishy but nice and warm. You were sleeping next to Newt. You couldn't of been any happier with this. Ever since you had arrived in the glade, as the only girl, Newt had been quite sweet on you. You had heard the Newt had been having nightmares as of late. You hoped that maybe sleeping next to him would calm him down. You had no idea what his nightmares were about. You knew that there had been a situation before you arrived the ended up with Newt having a limp. You figured that was it. You just knew you didn't want him to keep having them.
The bonfire was just ending and everyone was returning to go to bed. Minho was sleeping on the other side of you. He had already started snoring lightly. Newt hadn't arrived yet but you knew he would be coming soon. He always seemed tired now. Thomas came over to talk for a while, and to annoy Minho. By waking him up by some unfortunate method. You sighed and shook your head as Minho started snoring again, it took that guy 2 seconds to fall asleep.
Finally Newt showed up. He picked his way through the mess of sleeping boys and collapsed next to you. "How's it going?" You asked raising your eyebrow. Newt gave you a look "Buggin brilliant, love, thanks." He said sarcasm dripping off every word. You laughed gently, "Good that". You shuffled around so both of your heads were at the same end. "Everything went well today." You said trying to start a conversation. Newt sighed "It was cold." He said snuggling under his blankets and turning so he faced away from you. You took that as a sign to let it be and closed your eyes falling asleep to Minhos tiny snores.

You heard a sound coming from beside you. For a second you were scared a shuck griever had gotten through. But then you realized there would be a lot more panic if that was it. You opened your eyes and sighed gently. It was still dark outside, meaning it was to early to be awake. "Help, no, let me, no" You heard a faint voice from beside you. You turned over to Newt. He had flipped himself over and was facing you now. There was tears running down his face and he thrashed under the blankets. "You can't take her from me" he said, louder this time. Her? Was he taking about you? You moved over and pulled him into a tight hug. "Newt you're having a nightmare" you say, trying to wake him up as quietly as possible. You were slowly able to shake him awake. He sat with you breathing shallowly in and out. You kissed his forehead, "everything's alright, you're safe". He nodded and looked into your eyes. "They were coming to get you." He says so quietly you almost miss it. "They?" You ask. "Wicked" he says shuddering slightly. "Well then you don't have a thing to worry about." You said to him. He gave you a look that said he thought otherwise. "I will never go anywhere with those slintheads without you." You said. He nodded. "(Y/n) cuddle?" He asked already falling asleep. You just moved closer and fell asleep with your head in his chest.
Little did you know your Newt was already fighting a much bigger battle within himself,
the Flare had come.
