!!DISCONTINUED!! Into The Maze - The First Girl - Newt x Reader x Minho

Chapter 27

I work in the Gardens with Newt for the rest of the day, and he makes no effort to hide our new relationship, hugging or kissing me whenever he gets close enough. Originally I wasn't comfortable with such open displays of affection, but soon I got used to it and played along, and word quickly spread around The Glade that Newt had got the girl.

I hadn't realised that the love triangle between myself, Newt, and Minho was so well known, but apparently there had been bets going on about who I would choose, the boys often came over and to talk to me and Newt about it, and whenever they did the guilt about what happened with Minho would come flooding back.

"Don't worry, love", Newt tells me over and over again, "He'll get over it", and I know he will, but I still feel terrible about hurting him.

The sun that was so nice to relax in this morning beats down on us mercilessly as we work and I head back to my hut to change into some shorts and a singlet, I strip off my boots and leave them there as well, along with my jacket.

I head back to the gardens, significantly cooler than before, and as I walk I pull my hair up into a messy bun, relieving my neck of its sweaty strands. I make my way back to the patch of soil I was planting in and walk up to Newt, putting my arms around him from behind and kissing his cheek.

~Newt's POV~

I feel a pair of arms go around me and Y/N kisses my cheek, "Hello my handsome boyfriend" she says, and my stomach flips, I still can't believe she's mine.

"Hello my gorgeous girlfriend", I say, noting her change of clothes, Bloody hell she's hot, and she doesn't even have to try.

"Finished staring?" she teases and my face flushes; I quickly turn back to my work, and we stay side by side, planting seeds in the cool earth, and I find I'm enjoying the activity, "It's nice to be doing this again instead of Running".

"Mmm" she agrees, "I wouldn't want to be in there all day every day either", I keep quiet, not wanting to tell her what I know. "Have you kept up running every morning?" I ask, and she nods, "Most days I do, some days I can't be bothered though" I laugh, "That would be nice, just telling Minho, 'No, I don't feel like Running today".

Her face falls, and I internally kick myself, What did you bring Minho up for? "Sorry, love", I say and hug her. She sighs, wrapping her arms around me as I tuck her head under my chin, "I guess I need to work past it, I still want to be his friend", And you still love him.

I know she told Minho that she loves me more, and I'm grateful that there's someone else for her if anything happens to me, but I still feel a pang of protective boyfriend jealousy.

A wave of heat washes over me, and I stand up, moving away from her so I can take my shirt off; then a mischievous idea comes to me and I groan, watching her out of the side of my eye. Once I see her looking at me I slowly lift my arms and peel my shirt over my head, then I toss it aside and run my hands through my hair, stretching luxuriously and feeling her eyes on me the whole time.

I saunter back over to her, a satisfied smirk on my face, and she watches me. Once I'm close enough to her, she raises her eyebrow at me -a new skill she has recently acquired- and smirks. "Oh don't give me that look" I say, "You know you loved it".

She laughs and slips her arms around my bare shoulders, then with one hand on my neck she pulls me closer until her nose brushes against mine. She smiles, her huff of laughter mingling with my accelerated breathing as she runs her other hand over my chest and back.

She knows exactly what she's doing to me; I think as my knees weaken slightly, and it takes me a second to gather my thoughts. I move my head so I can kiss her, but she puts a hand over my mouth, "What do you say?" she asks me, and my mouth drops open.

She's teasing me. She's bloody teasing me because I teased her, then any thought of resistance leaves my mind as she places a soft kiss just below my ear. "Please Y/N" I whisper, and as she nuzzles my neck I ask again, "Kiss me please", and she grins, satisfied with her victory.

"Gladly", she says, and presses her lips to mine. The kiss is far shorter than I would have liked, but a chorus of wolf-whistles make us break apart, and Y/N blushes slightly, making her all the more tempting to kiss again. She'd obviously gotten carried away as I had and forgotten where we were.

"It's hot enough out here without you two going at each other!" I hear Winston yell, and I grin, looking down at Y/N I kiss her again and hear the boys fake vomiting at the sight.

"Gross, don't do that in public!" I hear Chuck's voice, and Y/N turns around with a laugh, keeping one arm around me; "Why not Chucky?" she teases him, and he sticks his tongue out at her, "Because it's disgusting! And don't call me Chucky!"

~Minho's POV~

I watch the scene play out, my heart aching at the sight as I see them working together, laughing and talking happily. They flirt and exchange kisses, then when Chuck approaches them Y/N puts her arm around Newt's waist and his goes around her shoulders as they talk and laugh with the younger boy.

"Minho" I hear Alby calling me, and I wrench my gaze away from the pair, "Have you told Y/N about what we decided?"

"Not yet, I... haven't found the right time", I say quietly, and he frowns at me, "I know its probably awkward between you two, but she needs to know".

I nod and turn back to the wood I was splitting for Gally, "I'll talk to her tonight" I say, and hear Alby sigh, then he puts a hand on my shoulder. I stiffen, but don't turn around, "You love her, and she loves you; don't waste that by cutting her off, you never know what might happen in the future", Alby says, then he leaves.

I sigh and swing again at the stubborn piece of wood that just doesn't want to split.

~Time Skip, Y/N's POV~

I sit with Newt at dinner, our hands wrapped together under the table as we eat and I feel ridiculously happy. I hear the sniggers and the conversations that are obviously about us, but I don't care, then Alby approaches us.

"Hey, I need to talk to you two", he says, and leads us to the Gathering room where we sit down; then he shifts uncomfortably, "So... you two are together now, and I want some rules. You can do what you want, but I don't want it interfering with your jobs, you can both stay in Y/N's hut, but I, uh. No, um-".

He flushes, and suddenly I know what he wants to say, and I also turn red, a glance out the side of my eye telling me that Newt has too, "I'm pretty sure we get it, no lovemaking" Newt says, and Alby nods, relieved he doesn't have to be the one to say it.

"Exactly, and there's something else..." he trails off, and I hear the door open, turning around I see Minho. Our eyes meet, and I try to smile at him, a faint smile crosses his face as he walks forward, but it disappears as fast as it appeared.

Newt mutters something beside me, and I turn to him, but he shakes his head, signalling not to worry about it. "Y/N", Alby says and I bring my attention back to him, "You survived a night in the Maze, killed two Grievers, have a real weapon, and you can run; so with that in mind I can safely say that you need to be a Runner".
