Its been three months since Newt and I repaired our relationship and I've never been happier. We've had a few minor disagreements, but we always get through them, talking to each other and listening to the other's opinions.

Minho has also gone back to normal. Newt had been right in guessing that he'd been drunk and he apologised to me a few days later. "I guess I shouldn't have got my hopes up, you always do go back to him" he'd said with slight bitterness in his voice, then he'd smiled, not completely hiding the hurt and sadness in his eyes, "I hope he makes you happy".

He also let us back onto our Runner duties, Newt and I had enjoyed the break, but we love Running, especially now that Minho has switched up the groups so Newt and I Run together; "Just make sure you actually do the Running" he had said when we asked for the change, and I'd laughed while Newt turned red.

There are three new Greenie's, plus the little redhead Frankie, and they've all settled in nicely. The second one had gotten a little handsy with me at his bonfire and Newt had earned himself two days in the Slammer for beating the klunk out of the smaller shank.

"Hey, you there love?" Newt calls to me, and I bring myself out of my thoughts, smiling at him from across the clearing, "I'm here Newtie, just thinking".

Today's our day off, and we decide just to relax together next to the pond; I practise my shooting while Newt either watches me, listens to my radio, or catches up on sleep.

I'm hanging upside down from the branches of one of the trees, sending arrow after arrow slamming into a small stump on the far side of the clearing with a satisfying whizz thunk.

"There's my badass girlfriend" Newt calls, and I grin, releasing two arrows in the space of a heartbeat and splitting the first down the middle. "Bloody hell Y/N! I'm glad you like me!" Newt cries, and I laugh. Reaching up, I grab hold of the branch and swing my legs free, dropping to the ground and jogging over to collect my arrows.

Then I walk over to Newt, laying my bow and quiver aside and sitting down beside him where he rests against the bole of a tree, his long legs splayed out to either side. He smiles at me lovingly and pulls me down so I'm sitting between his legs with my back against his chest.

"I don't like you Newtie, I love you", I say, and he kisses just below my earlobe, nuzzling the soft skin with his nose and stirring my hair with his warm breathing, "I love you too", he says, and I lean my head back on his shoulder.

"Have you ever thought about our lives outside here?" Newt asks, and I nod, "All the time, I'm lucky because I got some memories of my life back even if they were terrifying. I know I had a brother".

Newt shakes his head, and I feel the heat gathering in his face as he blushes slightly. "No, I mean have you ever thought about what it would be like if we escaped, or if we'd never been put in here, and we were together out there".

"Oh", I say and reach behind me, seeking his soft blonde hair and twisting the strands around my fingers, "Sometimes; have you?"

He hides his face in my neck, and I smile, He's so cute when he's embarrassed, "You've thought out everything, haven't you?" I tease, glancing back at him and he smiles shyly, his hair flopping over his forehead as he nods "Every little thing".

"Tell me some", I say and relax against his chest, his heartbeat steady against my back as he wraps his arms loosely around my waist, wanting to hear his dreams about our life together. He thinks for a minute, then starts talking, his accented voice smooth and calming. "Well if we were together out there, I'd spoil you rotten, with gifts and flowers and anything you wanted. Any passing comment about something you liked I'd file away to treat you later.
