Newt X Reader Imagine

Part 8

The next morning I look around and notice everyone is awake, besides me. I quickly stand up and look to find Newt. I see him across the glade working on on the crops. I walk over to him and he sees me. "Hello Y/N. How did you sleep your first night in the Galde?" He sets his shovel down. "Pretty well actually. Why didn't you wake me up?" I ask. "Yesterday was a big day for you. I figured that I'd let you get your rest." He smiles at me and starts picking the crops. "You missed the runners this morning. I was going to wake you, but I knew you'd ask me if you could go in the maze. And I also wanted you to sleep, like I said." I cross my arms. "I can handle it Newt. Just give me a chance." He stands back up. "With the way I saw you run when you first got here, and the way you punched Minho, I don't doubt that you can handle yourself. But that doesn't make it any less dangerous." He gives me a serious look, and gets back to working. "I'm pretty sure Gally wanted to talk to you. I'll come find you when I'm finished working." He smiles at me and I walk away.

I knock on Gally's door, and he quickly answers it. "Good, you're here. Come in." I walk in and shut the door behind me. "I know it's only your second day here, but everyone has a job here. And we need to find yours." He looks at me and leans against the wall. "I want to be a Runner. Newt hates it but it isn't his decision to make, and I want to help. I know I can!" Gally looks at the ground for a moment. "With the way you were running, you could definitely pass as a runner. But Newt helps call the shots, and I can't make you a Runner without him being on board as well." He sits and thinks for a moment. "Please Gally, I want to do this." He looks at me. "I'll tell you what. I'll talk to Newt about it, and do my best to convince him. For now, I'm going to put you with the Med-Jacks. There you will study medical stuff, and learn how to deal with the wounded. I'm sorry, but it's the best I can do." I nod my head at him and he walks out.
