thomas' senior year has been uneventful and boring, well that is until he receives an anonymous message from a boy confessing his attraction // thomas commences in an investigation, trying to reveal the identity of his "mystery boy" all while accidentally falling in love with him over text - disclaimer: this plot was somewhat inspired by the book simon v. the homo sapiens agenda

thomas isn't into music, well he enjoys it casually, but he comes no where near close to being as obsessed with it as his younger sister is // when rose's friends are away she drags her older brother to her favorite place to watch local bands // little did thomas know a night of live music would lead him to becoming smitten with a certain blonde guitar player who goes by the name of newt

The third hardest thing sixteen year old Newt had ever done was leaving everything he knew to go to America. The second hardest thing he'd ever done was jumping off the wall of his school. The hardest thing he'd ever done was falling in love with a boy called Thomas. (Everything belongs to James Dashner)

(NOTE: CONTAINS SPOILERS) Thomas had always stared at Newt behind the screens of WICKED. When Newt was sent up, he gave up all hope of ever seeing him again. As things got worse, however, Thomas was tasked to go up to the Glade himself. But every cloud has a silver lining.

(Slight spoilers for TFC, but if you don't know what to look for you won't even know!) Thomas has been in the maze a little while now, and both he and Newt have unexpressed feelings for each other. Things suddenly turn upside down and everyone is dying around them, it's almost like the maze isn't a good place for a relationship. Times are tough, people are breaking, the maze is breaking, the answer to escape is just a sacrifice away! Can they get out? If so, how? What's out there? Who will make it? P.S if comments seem out of place this story has been edited

Thomas never planned for his life to be the way it was. He never planned to be living on the streets, never planned on drugs, drink, death. He never planned on the journey to an early grave. Newt never planned for his life to be the way it was. He never planned to be living in an asylum, never planned on medication, solitude, insanity. He never planned on conversations with the voices in his head at night. Neither boy planned for their paths to intertwine with each other. (Everything belongs to James Dashner)

For seventeen year old Newt, the number ten is everything. Ten steps. Ten times you must snap your fingers. Ten nods of your head. Ten. When he's put in a mental institution for his extreme OCD, depression and anxiety, he meets some unlikely friends. And possibly the boy he's been looking for his whole life. But can he trust him? (also on AO3 under ava_kay) WARNING: content may be TRIGGERING for some (deals with various mental illnesses) most characters from The Maze Runner by James Dashner, I do not own them. p.s.- if newt says anything that seems ignorant towards mental illnesses, please know I'm trying to portray a teenager who doesn't understand yet, and that he eventually will understand!
