2. Sickness (Newt)

It's a warm and sunny day. I'm working as a track-hoe. I should be feeling great, but actually no, I don't feel great at all. I'm cold, I'm coughing, sneezing and shaking. And I feel dizzy. This doesn't feel like a normal flu, it feels much worse.
Gladers around me have started to notice my struggles with working. Then I see Alby coming towards me with few med-jacks with him.
"I'm pretty sure she doesn't feel well." He tells them. They are watching me from a distance. "No... I'm good... just fine..." I try to say, but my throat hurts. "Who... told you... Alby?" I ask. "Newt. He noticed your struggling and immediadly came to me. And I have to say that you indeed don't look so good."  Alby explains. My eyes are watering a little. Why is this shucking sickness happening to me? Suddenly my sight gets blurry and I can't feel my legs anymore. I manage to see how the med-jacks run towards me, before I hit my head and loose my consciousness...

Newt's POV

I see how (Y/n) collapses and falls to the ground. She lost her consciousness.
I rush towards her along with the med-jacks. They're searching for explanation by invastigating her body. They can't find anything. Fortunately.
I thought it could be a sting from a Griever but then how could that have been even possible since she's a track-hoe? I sigh and then walk closer. "Can you find anything?" I ask as indifferently as possible.
Med-jacks are shaking their heads. "Could you carry her into one of our tents?" Asks the other med-jack, Jeff. "And as quickly as possible." Says Clint. I nodd and lift (Y/n) on my arms. I walk quickly to a tent where Clint and Jeff went along with other med-jacks. I place her on a bed. "Now we have some patients that have been stung by a griever so we are a little busy, could you help us Newt?" Asks Clint. I nodd.
"If you could invastigate her body more specifically? I'll come back very soon." He continues. "I will." I tell him and then he walks to another tent. I turn to (Y/n). She looks so beautiful and I feel worried. I lift her shirt a little bit so that I could see any possible marks or anything that would explain her sickness.
Her body is just beautiful.
Soon I hear footsteps. Thomas joins me. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "Just making sure everything is okay with her." He says. He sounds worried. "So do you umm... like her... you know, that way?" I ask, knowing how much time they spend together. (When Thomas isn't in the maze of course.)
"What? No. We're like best friends, Newt." He says and chuckles. "But now I know who likes her." He continues. "What who?" I ask confused. Thomas smirks. "You of course! Sometimes I wonder how you are Alby's second-in-command." He teases. I just roll my eyes, ignoring him and turning back to (Y/n).

After searching any possible reasons to her uncousciousness, I notice Thomas smirking. "What now?" I ask, again confused. "Oh nothing, nothing." He says and turns away.
Suddenly, (Y/n) starts talking in her state. Well, actually it sounds more like mumbling. Thomas turns back to face me and we both try to hear what she's saying.
After a while, we are starting to distinguish her words.
"Newt..." She says.
I lean closer, surprised. "I... love you... Newt... is the one... and only... love." We hear. I blush a little and smile. I look at Thomas who's smirking. "Is that true? She actually loves me?" I ask, now excited. Thomas just nodds and smiles widely. "Thank god you love her back. She talks about you every day and honestly I just felt sad for her, not knowing how you feel." He tells me. "But now, I'm happy for you." He continues. I smile and turn to look back at her.
Suddenly Clint runs back to us. "Well?" He asks me. I just shake my head, shaking away my happy thoughts and going back to worrying. "If there were no signs of any injuries, I'm pretty sure this is just some disease which should leave her alone after few days. I suggest to leave her alone, sleep is the best medicine right now." He presents and both me and Thomas nodd. We walk out of the tent and go back to work.
I hope it's nothing serious.

(Y/n)'s POV

I start opening my eyes. A bright light blinds me for a moment.
Soon enough my eyes get used to the light and I notice that I'm in a tent. Med-jacks' tent. Then I remember what happened, the terrible feeling I had the last time I was conscious.
I actually feel great now.
I stand up and walk outside the tent.
When the gladers notice my presence, they rush towards me to greet me.
I notice Newt and Thomas standing next to each other, both looking at me. I walk in front of them. "Hi." I just say and smile at them, blushing a little after seeing Newt's smile. "How long was I unconscious?" I ask. "Three days." Answers Newt. "What? Three days!" I almost shout.
I can't believe this.
"Yes, but that's not the only thing that's shocking..." Thomas says. I look at him surprised. "You talked in your state. Revealed some things." He continues. My eyes get wide.
I didn't confess my love, right?
I look at Newt shyly. He and Thomas change looks and smirk. "It's okay. I love you too, love." Newt says with his british accent. My cheeks are burning. Newt comes closer and takes my hand. He kisses it and then looks at me in the eyes. "You are shucking beautiful, have I ever told you that?" He says. I smile at him and kiss him on the cheek. "You have no idea how much I've talked about you. It's actually embarrassing, I was so childish." I tell him. "Actually I do know. Thomas told me all about your converstations. And I think it's kind of cute." Newt tells me. "Thomas!" I nudge him gently. He chuckles.
After a moment, we head back to work. (Thomas doesn't go back to the maze since it's pretty late.) Me and Newt are holding hands while other gladers change looks. "What are you shanks doing?" Asks Gally suddenly. We are both quiet and smile to each other. "I'm sorry Gally to ruin your dreams, but me and (Y/n) have feelings for each other." Newt says. "What? Gally? Really?" I ask, confused. Newt nodds.
Gally doesn't say anything. He goes back to work but it's noticeable that he's grumpy. I feel a little bad for him.
Right now, the biggest feeling I have is happiness. I really didn't think that Newt liked me. I don't want to ruin my happiness so I decide to talk to Gally tomorrow. Not now, when I have the boy I love, right next to me.
