Lost & Found (Maze Runner Fanfiction)

(9)

Elaine felt a heavy weight on her left shoulder, and she slowly opened her eyes to see Newts head resting peacefully on her shoulder. Elaine admired his looks as he slept, the way his hair fell down to his eyes lightly covering them, his mouth just barley open, and his eyes were gently shut.

Even though Elaine felt awkward like the last time something like this happened, she just couldn't bring herself to wake him up and ask him to move his head, only for to just go back sleep again.

So she sat there resting her head against the wall, often feeling a wave of pain go through her leg. As Elaine's eyes shut once more her head fell onto Newts. She knew, but didn't mind.

~~~

After Elaine had woken up again, the sun was just setting, and so she decided it would be wise to wake up Newt now.

"Newt" She said softly "Newt" she said again this time shaking him awake.

He opened his eyes only to realize his sleeping situation. "Oh...S-sorry" he stuttered trying to hide his red cheeks.

Elaine blushed too, but didn't say anything. They packed up. Well it was more of Newt then Elaine, she could barley get up, let alone stand by herself. The wound was still pretty sore and tender.

"Here let me help you up" Newt suggested to Elaine holding out a hand for her to take. She took it gratefully and stood up, but as soon as she tried to walk she almost collapsed to the ground if it weren't for Newts fast reflexes.

"Thanks" Elaine said holding onto Newts arm.
"No problem" Newt said then looked at her leg "I don't think you'll be able to properly walk with your leg like that, I'll have to carry you" Newt offered politely.
"Hmm, no thanks" Elaine said patting Newt on his shoulder and tried to take a step only to almost fall again.
"See, your going to need help" Newt said helping her up again.
"No, I'm fine" Elaine argued.
"No, your not" Newt said arguing with her.
"It'll just slow us down!" Elaine yelled
"It'll slow us down either way, but it'll help you better!" Newt yelled back.
"Ugh! Newt I can walk on my own!" Elaine argued
"No you can't!" Newt argued back.
"I can walk if I want to, plus I am a capable wo- hey!! Put me down you slinthead!" Newt had, had enough and picked Elaine up throwing her over his shoulders shutting her up mid sentence.
"Put me down you shuckface!" Elaine protested. But Newt just casually bent down to pick up there bags and started to make his way down the stairs with Elaine over his shoulders.

Finally after about 10 minutes of yelling Elaine shut up. Realizing that she was defeated.

"You drop me, I'll kill you" Elaine said with a stern voice.

Newt smirked and pretended to drop her.
"Ah! Newt!!" Elaine screeched.

Newt made his way out of the building, and to Elaine's surprise he'd actually climbed over the debris with ease.

Then they finally made it out and kept walking. Elaine still over Newts shoulder with her chin resting on the palm of her hand. She was completely bored, and wasn't having it. But she knew that even if she tried to protest...again. Newt would just keep walking.

~~~

Eventually they'd gotten pretty far, farther then they thought they would get, especially with Elaine hunched over Newts shoulder.

"Can you put me down now?" Elaine asked clearly annoyed.

Newt gradually set Elaine down, and she immediately rested on her back in the sand.
"I'm still carrying you" Newt said as he sat down next to her.
"Whatever" Elaine mumbled.

After they're short break, Newt had agreed to give Elaine a piggyback ride, instead of carrying her like a sack of potato's.

As the sun came up, Newt and Elaine realized they'd have to find shelter soon. And hopefully they would, or they'd get extremely sun burnt, and obviously a heat stroke.

Be happy! 💛😄
