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

Chapter 31

It's been two days since I became a Runner and since Minho sent Newt to the Med-jacks, but I still haven't talked to him. Minho's always been there for me though, holding me when I break down and listening to me when I need to talk.

He's an amazing listener; he'll just stay quiet and let you say everything on your mind with only the occasional word here and there. Newt and I haven't technically broken up yet, but I don't feel any guilt about the time I'm spending with Minho.

We've also kissed a few times. On the occasions where I've broken down, and he holds me and comforts me, we just couldn't help it. Its never gone any further than that though, no touching or anything because I've found I don't want that anymore.

"Come on, shank! Try to keep up!"

Minho's voice brings me out of my thoughts, and I speed up, running hard to stay level with him. He grins at me when I'm by his side again and I smile back, running the Maze might be a stressful job, but it's much better with Minho next to me.

I want to talk to Newt, I've been thinking and decided I need to give him the chance to apologise. "What are you thinking about?" Minho asks and nudges me with his shoulder "Guess" I reply, and he grimaces, "Newt?"

"Of course, what else" a few beats of silence, only broken by out footfalls "I want to talk to him".

"You probably should; are you going to break up with him?" Minho asks, feigning disinterest and I glance at him, "Maybe, I don't know; that's one thing I want to talk to him about".

"Well, if you do you know I'm here for you as a friend and potential boyfriend", he says, and I half laugh, the sound strange in the stone hallways, "I do know, Min, and you're first on both lists".

He stops suddenly and grabs me around the waist, pulling me to him, "What-?" I start, but my words are cut off by his lips on mine. My eyes flutter shut as he kisses me, and I put my hand on the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me and kissing him back.

His hands stay on my waist and mine play with his thick black hair until we have to break apart for air. "Wh-what was that for?" I ask, and he smiles, still holding me close to him and looking down at me, "Because I love you and because you're amazing" he says, and I blush.

"Say you'll have me if you and Newt break up", he says, his dark brown gaze serious, and I smile "I promise Minho, if Newt doesn't come up with a shucking good apology then I'm yours". He smiles, a little wistfully, then says, "And what if he does?"

I look at him, unsure what to say and he continues, "You still love him, I get that, but I've never hurt you, Y/N".

"I know Min, but I want to give him another chance if he's sincerely sorry for what he did", I say, then continue softly, "I chose him for a reason". Minho looks into my eyes, a flash of pain quickly replaced by acceptance, then sighs and places a kiss on my forehead before taking my hand and starting to run.

We run hand in hand until we get in sight of The Glade, then Minho looks at me questioningly, and I nod. Releasing his hand, I kiss his cheek, and we run into The Glade, heading to the Map Room and calling greetings to the Gladers who see us.

"Oh!" I suddenly remember, "Today's Greenie day!" I look around eagerly to see if the new boy's arrived, but Minho pulls me forward, "We can gawk at him after, if he's even here, but we need to make the maps, that's priority".

"Yeah, ok", I say, but I keep looking around as we run.

~Time Skip~

I'm sitting on the grass enjoying the sun when I hear a voice calling my name from behind me; I shift my position on the soft grass so I can see who it is, and see Zart waving to me from the Gardens and I jump up and jog over to him.
