The Maze Runner imagines (previously Newt Imagine #1)

Newt, "Fireproof"

A/n: Boy Newt sure is one popular guy! There is some stronger language used here but nothing to horrible. Hope you guys like it!

It was your average day on the glade. Newt, your boyfriend, was working hard. You were out in the maze as usual with your partner Peter. Peter usually got overlooked but you thought he was great. You were running throught the maze doing your thing when you heard the noise that terrifies all gladers, even Gally.

A griever.

You and peter paused and looked at each other. You nodded and without saying a word headed back to the glade. With the recent grievers found by Minho and Thomas, you didn't want to play with this guy. Plus you knew Newt wouldn't be happy if you got into a dangerous situation. You knew Peter would do anything for you but you couldn't stand to lose another friend. Ben had been more then enough.

You got back to the glade panting like a dog. You put your hands on your knee's and tried to regain your breath. Newt came running up out of nowhere. "Are you OK?" He asked "What happened?" He asked giving you a hand standing up. "We found a griever." You said a smile working onto your face. You quickly pushed it back though. You liked trouble but Newt did not. " (y/n) are you crazy!" He said starting to get red in the face. "You could have been seriously hurt or killed!" He said getting worked up. "Newt I'm fine, I'm safe and right here" you said trying to calm him down. He pulled you in for a long hug and then went back to work grumbling something you couldn't hear.

The day went on with you and Peter spending most of the day with Frypan. It was getting close to dark when Minho and Thomas returned. You rushed over and explained what had happened during the day and why you and Peter had come back so soon. Minho just stood and nodded his head. "Good call shuckheads, I say the four of us go out tomorrow and see what we can find." You nodded and a round of high-fives were given by Thomas. You stood and talked for a while longer before Gally came in. "Newt called a meeting for the keepers." He said implying that only Minho was invited. Minho nodded and him and Gally ran off to the meeting.

Everyone was just getting ready for bed when Minho approached you. "First of all, this wasn't my choice." He said with a sad look in his eye. "Uh-oh" you said knowing what was coming next was nothing good. "You're no longer a runner (y/n), I'm sorry." He said looking at the ground. "What the hell!" You said "This is no fair, I work hard and do more then my part." You said feeling the anger creeping into your veins. "What did I do?" You asked your hands turning to fists. "Nothing, it was Newts decision." Minho said. "He didn't want you getting hurt so he wanted you to stay in the glade." You could feel tears of anger building up. "Where is he?" You growled more then asked. You could make your own decisions and Newt knew that. Just because you were in a relationship didn't mean he got all the choices. "(Y/n)." Minho said putting a hand on your shoulder to stop you. You shook it off and left, you needed to talk to Newt.

It wasn't hard to find him. He was in his hammock humming to himself. "Babe, hi!" He said sitting up. "What the hell Newt?" You said. You didn't even bother with hello. "What?" He said confused. "Why am I no longer a runner?" You asked trying and failing to keep the anger out of your voice. "Darling it's to dangerous." He said his eyes softening. "Maybe you can go back once if the grievers go back to normal." He said, you could tell it was an empty promise though. "Why can't you let me decide things for myself!" You said. "I don't want you getting hurt, I can't lose you too!" He said standing up. "I'm done." You say. You needed space now. You turned and ran into the deadheads.

You found a soft mossy spot and settled down. You were trying to convince yourself that not being a runner would be ok. You just could never justify it. You heard Newt call out at some point but ignored him. You still needed space. You weren't really that mad with Newt. He was so over protective, you should be thankful. Newt had saved you more then once by being the one who thought before doing. You did and then thought, which didn't always work. You fell asleep that night trying to think of a way to make everything work out so everyone was happy.

You woke up in the morning and returned to the glade. Newt and Minho were both there waiting for you. Minho gave you a big hug. Newt was next though his was a bit hesistant. "I think we may have a solution." He mumbled into your ear. He grabbed your hand and led you to a spot away from everyone else with Minho in tow. "I realize that it was wrong for me to pull you from being a runner like that." He said and your eyebrows shot up. You could be a runner again? "However." He said and your eyebrows went back down. "There are some more rules." He said eyeing Minho. He nodded and continued. "You can only be out half the day and you're with me now." Minho said and you nodded slowly. You could work on Newt and be back to full days in no time. "This wasn't just my decision." Newt said with the ghost of a guilty look on his face. "It was Alby's and Gally's as well." Minho finished for him. Figures Gally was basically your older brother and Alby was the leader. "Alright, sounds good." You said. Minho had a sigh of relief and excused himself leaving you and Newt.

"I'm sorry" Newt said looking at you. You giggled, "It's ok, as long as I get to run!" You said. He smiled and kissed you lightly. "That's my girl." He said giving you a hug. "Be careful, for me." He said and you nodded. He was your voice of reason and you were his reason to smile. You were fireproof, both of you but only together.
