The First Greenie (Newt X Reader)

Chapter 27: I'm Alright.

"You ready? I think I might know how to get back, so follow me?" he asked.

I nodded but as soon as he took a step, he almost fell over, I caught his, standing him back up. "What happened, are you ok?" I asked as he let out a groan of pain.

"My buggin' leg is all shucked up from yesterday and it only got worst from sleeping on that shuck rock floor," he said through his groans.

I pulled his arm around my neck. Holding onto his hand tightly, and wrapped my arm around his waist, releasing a bit of the weight of his hurt leg.

"Better?" I questioned.

"Yeah, but it will take a while for us to walk back to the Glade, that shucking hurts" he complained.

I nodded "Then we better get going 'cause I'm starving, and I feel like I need to have 34 showers to wipe all the griever goop of me," I said, jokingly, trying to lighten his spirits again.

"Well don't you just always know what the perfect thing to say is," he said, grabbing the hand that was around his waist, "Alright, I think I'm ok." He spoke.

Off we went, taking a few turns here and there, stopping to rest seeing as Newt was limping and he could barely walk.

Eventually, I saw the Glade, oh how I've never been happier to see that shuck place.

As we turned the corner, I saw Minho and Alby, waiting at the door for who I could only assume was Newt and me.

"Oh, thank Frypan, you guys made it. What the hell were you both thinking going out like that?" Minho yelled, running a bit into the Maze, I guess he was observant enough to see that I needed help with bringing Newt back.

"We weren't." I said blankly "Help me take Newt to the Med-Jacks, he shucked up his leg petty badly, I think he might have really damaged it." I looked over to see Newt now holding onto Minho and I almost being lifted by the runner-boy.

The walk to the Med-Jacks where silent, only a few grunts of pain being pushed out of Newt's mouth as he tried his best to walk.

Once we had arrived, we sat Newt on his bed, as I went to get some supplies, I heard Minho start bombarding the blond boy with questions.

"So, what happened, no offense or anything, but how are you both still alive?" he questioned.

I rolled my eyes a bit but gave him a simple answer, not wanting to talk about it for long, "We just did what we could to stay alive for the night, we ran, we hid, we survived, ok?" I said calmly.

"Ok, are you guys, ok, I mean... other than the leg, and cuts, bruises, all that." He asked.

"I'm fine, Newt here, on the other hand, I'm not sure." I looked over from Newt and back to Newt, I walked up and place all the medical supplies on the bed next to him.

"Is it ok if I touch your leg or do you need a minute?" I said crouching down in front of him, so I was looking up at him.

"Go for it" he spoke lowly.

I took his leg gently and pulled up his pant leg. I started cleaning up and small cuts he had and bandaged it, like a cast.

While Minho was pressing his questions, I zoned him out, and let my thoughts float to what Newt had said the night before, in the Maze.

He said he loved me, but did he mean it in a friendly way, or did he mean it. More importantly, did I feel the same?

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Minho, almost yelling my name. "What?" I asked.

"Gosh, where were you? You zoned out for a while; I've been calling you for like 2 minutes now" he laughed.

"Oh, sorry, what did you want?" I asked.

"When you're done with Newt, Clint will come over to stitch you up, you have a few cuts on your face, Trooper"

I nodded.

"Alright, I'll let you both get some rest, but go eat before you go to bed, yeah?" he said as he walked out.

Once he was gone, I looked over to Newt, who was already looking at me.

"Did you mean what you said?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

"What did I say? I've said many things, love. You need to be a bit more specific." He laughed.

"You said you loved me, what did you mean by that?" I asked.

He stopped laughing, his face going pale. "Y-You heard that? You weren't supposed to hear that" he let out a nervous chuckle.

"Well, I did" at this point, I was done with his leg, I had gently placed it down on the floor, and I was working on the few cuts that were on his face, meaning our faces were close enough for me to feel his breath on my neck.

"I meant it you know. I guess I can't lie about it." He whispered, looking into my eyes.

I paused, looked at him, our eyes meeting he looked down at lips, slowly leaning in. I looked at his lips, before closing my eyes.

Then, the thing I never thought would happen, happened.

Our lips touched; his soft lips met mine. It was a small but passionate kiss.

This changed everything for me, I knew from that point on, that I loved him too.
