Maze running (a tmr/ Newt fanfiction

Fight

About a week after I had woken up, everything had settled down.

I was weeding in the gardens with Newt, when Alby runs up to us.

"There's going to be a party tonight" he says before running away.

"Oooh, maybe I can beat the shit out of Gally again" I say.

Newt chuckles.

I look down to my hands. I am wearing green fingerless gloves.

Gally walks over to us.

"Hey, we're building a couple of cabins for the keepers, do you guys want one?" He asks.

I look at Newt, and smile.

"That would be great!" I say enthusiastically.

Newt glances over to the west door, and sees Minho run in.

"Runners are back, work's over" he says getting up and offering a hand to help me up.

We walk over to Minho.

"How were your griever friends?" I ask sarcastically.

"Ha-ha" he says sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me, Bel, you're coming into the maze with me tomorrow" he says.

"Oh, Newt, can you come too?" I ask.

"Uh, Bella.. Only runners are allowed in the maze" says Minho quickly, but I can hear the lie.

"Okay" I say not wanting to argue.

"Party tonight" I say.

"Oh, is there? Ooh, you guys should fight each other!" He says.

I exchange a glance with Newt.

"If you're up to it, I will" I say smirking.

"You're on" he says.

"Alright, gotta go to the map room. See you at the party" says Minho before running off.

Later on, I'm standing with Newt in the circle that the Gladers make for the fighting ring.

Gally beats some slicer.

"Alright, who's next?" Yells Alby.

I look at Newt, and he nods.

"Uh, Alby.. Can I fight Newt?" I say awkwardly.

He gives me a surprised look, but then smiles and nods.

I can hear Minho cheering loudly as both me and Newt step into the circle.

Alby counts down from three, and yells "FIGHT!"

We start walking in slow circles, opposite the other.

"Gonna make a mo-" starts Newt, but before he can, I tackle him to the ground, leaving us in an awkward position where I'm on top of him.

The glade starts cheering.

Newt leans in to me, and whispers in my ear "you can get off now, sweetheart"

He gives a goofy smile, as I get off him and hold out my hand for him to take. He takes it, and pulls himself up, but doesn't let go of my hand after.

Someone else starts fighting, and Newt and I walk away to find Thomas, Gally, Teresa and Minho sitting in a circle.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask sitting down with Newt, so i am on his lap with my arms around his neck and head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me.

"Truth or dare, Wanna play?" Says Minho.

"What's that?"

"Well, the title kind of explains it. You ask someone 'truth or dare' and they say either one. Dare, they have to do something, like kiss the player to your left on the cheek. Truth, you ask them a question and they have to answer truthfully." He explains.

"Okay" I say.

"Thomas, truth or dare?" Asks Gally.

"Dare"

"I dare you to.. Go into frypans kitchen and make a joke about how bad his cooking is" he says chuckling.

"You're on" says Tom getting up, and walking towards the kitchen.

A few minutes later, we see him run out of the kitchen, ducking and covering his head from a flying wooden spoon coming from the kitchen.

He is laughing.

I'm guessing Fry threw the spoon.

He gets back, and sits down.

"Alright, Newt, truth or dare?" Asks Thomas.

"Uuh... Truth"

"What do you like most about Bella?" He asks.

I raise my eyebrows.

Newt doesn't even hesitate.

"Her eyes" he says simply.

I smile up at him, and he smiles back.

After a couple more hours, Newt and I head up to our room.

As soon as I close the door, Newt pins me up against the door, grabs my waist and starts kissing me.

I pull away and smile.

"What's that for?" I ask.

"Just because" he says quietly before lightly brushing his lips over mine.

"You're such a tease" I say wrapping my arms around his neck and bringing him closer. Our bodies touch.

A spark goes through my body.

He starts kissing my neck. I whimper.

He chuckles, and resumes what he was doing before.

"You're mine" he whispers into my neck.
