Always and Forever TMR -Newt

Twenty 'Proposal'

"Thank you." I whisper, and I never thought these words could be filled with such heavy emotion, such gratitude and such love. But in these two words I give Newt my heart. And I silently beg him to never give it back to me.

"I-"

"WHOOOOOOOOOO-HOOO!! I knew she would say yes!" Minho practicly screams the words and I can't help but jump up and look around.

I look around

Candles, leaves of roses, blankets, baskets, the lake. I see it all but can't take it all in, my heart is already filled so I keep looking. Can't stop looking and suddenly I can't even remember why I stood up. I just can't stop looking around at all the beauty displayed around me.

The light of the candles with the early evening is breathtaking, as fireflies search for warmth in them and the birds stay close, it truelly feels like magic here.

I turn around in one swift movement to face Newt again. To tell him how much I love this. All of it. He looks me in the eye with so much awe that I melt right there. I hug him once again, whispering to him over and over again how thankfull I am for all of this, how special I feel.

"I love you so so much." I whisper and he chuckles. I feel his heartrate going up, smile at his touch and close my eyes. Trying to freeze time.

When I put a little space between us again I find him staring at me. His eyes soft, full of love. I kiss him, then, deep but soft, a silent thank you once again. He murmurs against my lips.

"I love you too, sunshine." When we pull away a small crowd is placed around us. Holding their breaths and staring at us with joy. Except for Minho, who is staring at us like he could puke any second. I roll my eyes at the sight, it doesn't even surprise me.

"I didn't know if you would like this to be just between us two, or to make this like some sort of party with everyone, it's your choise, love." Newt whispers in my ear as he entangles our hands and squeezes one time.

I smile up at him and sigh, looking around to all of our friends. I would love to spend the night with everyone together, but I have no clue if that's what Newt wants...

"Wha-

I don't get the chance to finish as a loud screech surrounds the glade. I still, my muscles tighten, my eyes widen and I suddenly don't know how to speak anymore.

They shouldn't be this loud.

They shouldn't be this close.

But then I don't remember the rumbling sound, the slight shaking of the earth when the doors close. Which means they didn't close at all.

And those creatures out there, can get in whenever they want.

Newt

Neither of us seem to be able to breath anymore. We all stand still, looking at the faint light of the torches at the entrance of the maze, the open entrance. I hadn't even noticed the abscence of the rumbling ground. The abscence of the sound of the doors closing. And seeing the look on everyone's faces, neither did they.

I look around and see Chuck running towards me Elissa following behind, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. He runs towards me and Y/n, who is still clinging to my arms. He hugs us tight, trying to hide his face from everyone. He has always hated crying, hated anyone to see him do so. The last few weeks, Y/n and Chuck have bonded, and it seems he doesn't care if she sees him cry either.

I look up, into the scared eyes of my sister. She tries to smile sweetly at us, but I see the fear covering her features.

"Congrats." She whispers, her voice trembling.
