The Maze Runner Imagines: Newt (Thomas Brodie Sangster) Book 2

Sleepy Drive Home

I sighed listening to the radio go on and on about the weather, as I drove through the thick flurry of snow. The light from the car's headlights all I had to try and see what was happening outside the car,

'And it's suspected that this snowstorm is going to continue to hang over us all this Christmas eve, Likely we will still be seeing rough weather tomorrow. Anyone still out there it's time to get home as officials ask people to stay indoors and get off the roads during such weather-"

I cut him off. I didn't wanna hear it. I took another sip of the hot chocolate we got at the last stop, Listening to the sound of the engine, of the heater blasting warm air across the car, the snow landing on the roof, the Window wipers squeaking a little as they were on so fast. I couldn't deny it was beautiful seeing this snowfall but I just wanted to get home. I glanced over to the passenger seat of the car seeing newt.

Sat with his head against the window, his fluffy blonde hair a little wet from snow melting in his hair, his body bundled up holding my jacket over him like a blanket. He was fast asleep. I smiled a little. He had a long day. He'd been at work all day, having left at six this morning getting home at about four and then we had to rush off and visit family finally heading home just getting back to our street the clock in the car reading that it was now 11:45 On Christmas eve. I drove through the gritted road past all the houses with there flickering Christmas lights pulling up onto our drive and parking up trying to be fast so the snow didn't pile up on our car

"Newt? Newt we're home?" I asked him gently, giving him a shake but nothing he did was far too tired. I laughed, getting our stuff thrown in my backpack and putting it over my shoulder. got out the car going out to the cold dark street, going over to the over the side of the car gently opening the door trying not to wake him or make him go headfirst into the floor gently picking him up to rest his head on my shoulder my arm around the back of his legs I shut the door with my hip and clicked to lock it with my keys, slowly moving to the door gently unlocking it as not to wake newt as he was now kinda drooling on my shoulder kicking it open and shutting it as soon as we were inside. Our little house just as we left it the lights still gently flickering, the fire slowly dying, the house warm and cosy. I locked the door and slowly and carefully carried Newt upstairs to our bedroom laying him down on the bed a moment because my arms were aching pulling off his jeans and his shirt not that he even noticed me doing it pulling back the covers and tucking him in with his pillow and a blanket. I smiled stripping off to climbing into bed beside him giving his head a little kiss "Goodnight Newt" I smiled turning over to get comfy when I wasn't cuddling him but as I got cosy I noticed hands wrapping around my chest and a head nuzzle into my back

"Goodnight tommy" he yawns kissing my skin.
