newt // how he asks you out

Thomas grinned at you as you playfully punched his shoulder. "You're a slinthead, Thomas," You shook your head as Thomas rolled his eyes. "Why am I always the slinthead?" You shrugged, you were used to calling Thomas a slinthead and it stuck. "I think it's because you really are a slinthead," You held your hands up in defense as Thomas shot a glare at you.

You finally took notice of Newt who waved at you and had a smile on his face. You waved back and turned your attention back to Thomas who smirked. "You've got it bad for him," He pointed out. Was it that obvious? How smitten you were with Newt? "No, I don't," Your cheeks heated up but you quickly covered it.

"Now, you're the dumb shuck here. He's madly in love with you, you're madly in love with him, just be a couple already," Thomas stated, folding his arms. "Oh whatever, don't you have other things to do rather than annoy me?" You asked. "I sure do, I'm going to suggest some ways for Newt to ask you out," Thomas winked before he started running. "You wouldn't," You taunted but Thomas just laughed and disappeared, searching for Newt.

You groaned in protest when you heard Gally yell at you to continue working. Sometimes, you wondered why he still hasn't decided to attend anger management classes. You continued to hammer the planks together, still debating with yourself whether Thomas was joking or not.

You were exhausted, your shoulders slumped as you walked towards your hammock. You reached out for your pillow when you felt a piece of paper underneath it. You grabbed hold of the paper and realized it was a note, in a rather messy but still readable handwriting. 

dearest y/n,

i know this is rather cowardly of me to write to you instead of telling you in person. but, it's kind of hard not to stutter when i see you. will you be my forever?  meet me at the homestead before dinner starts, love.

with love,

newt

You smiled to yourself, folding the note and slided it into your back pocket. It was cheesy and mushy, all the more to make you scream inside. You brushed away dust and intended to find Newt since it was tnree minutes before dinner would start when you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned around and come face-to-face with Newt.

Surprising yourself and him, you tackled Newt into a hug. "That was so sweet of you, Newt," You squealed as Newt laughed. "Love, I'd do any thing to make you smile," Newt said, his accent music to your ears. Your cheeks were red as you broke the embrace. "Did you really mean everything you wrote?" You asked, and Newt raised an eyebrow.

"I think this will explain everything, " Newt leaned in and placed his lips on yours. His fingers tangled through your hair, fireworks and sparks exploding everywhere. The kiss full of passion and love. Newt is the one who pulled away which caused you to pout. "So, Y/N, will you be my forever?" Newt didn't have to wait for an answer.

You hugged Newt close and he tucked loose strands of your hair behind your ear, pressing his lips against yours.
