Newt // Focus

"Careful (Y/N). You might be able to walk on it for a few days before y'know," Clint said sounding defeated.

I pushed off the bed so my bare feet could touch the warm floor. I shifted all the weight on my legs before they were ripped from underneath me.

I crumbled to the floor as stomps rung through the room. Hands grabbed my arms and pulled me up and back on the bed. I pulled the covers over my legs as I pulled my bottom lip into my teeth.

"I can't walk, how can I run the maze?" I cried as I covered my mouth with my hand.

"We'll find a job for you love. Don't worry," Newt reassuring me with a warm smile but I just couldn't return it.

"Well you need to rest (Y/N). C'mon guys," Clint said with Minho trailing hesitantly behind.

"Wait Newt," I said causing him to spin back around to face me. "Thank you for saving me."

"Of course. Y'know I care about you," he smiled but I could tell her was hiding something. "Do you remember what you said before you passed out?"

I racked my brain but I couldn't recall so I shook my head. "You said you loved me."

My cheeks flushed as my heart began to thump rapidly. "I'm sorry but I do. Do you?"

"(Y/N)," he sighed as I gripped the sheets and prepared for rejection. "Obviously I care about you a lot but I just... can't be with you. We have to focus on escaping here."

I nodded and laid on my back with the sheets pulled over my shaking lips.

"(Y/N) I-" I couldn't handle him right now.

"You don't have to say anything. I shouldn't have. You don't have to love me. I get it, the feelings aren't returned," I sighed with the most hurt and defeated voice I could muster although it wasn't necessarily on purpose. "I'm tired Newt. I'll see ya."

I sealed my eyes shut as I felt the tears slid down my cheeks. I heard a soft sigh before Newt's uneven footsteps retracted from the room.

I lifted the covers over my head as I cried. The boy I had loved for months rejected me and I was obviously devastated. I fell back to sleep with my sobs singing me to sleep.

Newt's POV

Two hard and long weeks had gone by since (Y/N) got hurt. It took her another day before she could walk again and as Clint called, she had a limp like mine. Alby and the keepers decided to make her a track hoe since she obviously couldn't run anymore which almost thrilled me.

I felt like klunk for leaving her upset the day she woke up. I loved her, I did. I was scared and nervous to be with her so I told her I couldn't. It hurt both her and me, especially since she had been avoiding me since it.

She would speak to me as we worked but we never could continue mindless conversation. If i passed her, a small hey would he exchanged but that was it. I couldn't help but stare at her every second I saw her and if she caught me, she's blush and quickly look away. She was hurting and it was my fault.

"Earth to Newt," Zart chuckled after snapping his fingers a few times. I had been caught staring at (Y/N) as she twisted the vines with her weight on her right, limp free ankle. "You gotta stop staring at her man. Didn't you break her heart already?"

"I didn't mean to," I sighed but left my eyes on her. She puckered her lips, something she did frequently, before curving her hips for a better stance. She looked absolutely beautiful without trying.

"Look shank, we all know you love her so go get her. What's the worst thing that could happen? She's already avoiding you." I rolled my eyes and continued digging into the damp dirt.

"I can't."

Zart groaned and stormed off towards (Y/N). She looked a little startled as Zart told her something which made her eyes find me. She nodded with a small smile and returned to her vines.

"What the bloody hell did you do?" I yelled as he took his position back.

"You two are gonna work late alone and work this out. I can't stand the way you look at her anymore," Zart grinned.

Now all I had to do was get through today and then I'll tell her how I feel about her.

(Y/N)'s POV

Zart had asked me to stay later and work with Newt on the vegetables since we were a little short this month. I didn't feel like starting an argument with the keeper so I agreed despite the fire burning in my chest. Why did I say yes?!

"Thanks again (Y/N)," Zart called out before running with the other track hoes towards the homestead for dinner. I didn't mind missing a meal considering I wasn't typically hungry it Minho always forced me to eat.

"Hey," the familiar British voice said from behind me. I whipped around with my bag of seeds in hand. "Hey."

"I'm sorry we're stuck working longer," he chuckled and kneeled beside me in front of the line of pre-dug holes.

"It's okay. I'm happy to help," I smiled and dropped the seeds into their holes.

"(Y/N) I uh... I wanted to talk. You've been avoiding me and this was the only way to get you to talk to me."

"So it's your fault I'm missing dinner?" I asked.

"No no! Well yes but I didn't think you would mind and I uh-," he stuttered but stopped after he noticed me giggling. He broke my heart but I still thought he was the most adorable boy ever.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to tell you something." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I do like you, shuck I think I love you. I was just scared to love you so I told you I couldn't be with you. I know if was stupid and I should have told you earlier but I can't do this anymore. I love you (Y/N) and I really want to be with you. I want to do everything with you cause you're my everything."

I had tears sliding down my cheeks as I dropped the bag and set my hands on his neck. I glanced from his eyes to his lips as I noticed his eyes mimic mine.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked. I tightened my arms around him as I cut a chunk out of the distance between us.

"You may," I breathed as I felt myself about to burst.

Newt moved first as his hands around my waist pulled us together. The distance between us dissolved as our lips found each other's.

His lips were warm, soft and the white wetness as we slowly and in sync massaged them together. The kiss only lasted a few seconds and felt wrong to be broken but I needed to.

"Will you please be my girlfriend?" I let our eyes, his chocolate and my (Y/E/C), melt into each other's as I broke the distance.

"I would love to," I smiled as I felt the butterflies attacking my stomach.

"Finally!" I heard someone yell by the homestead as whoops and cheering interrupted the quiet glade.

"I finally got the girl and I'm never letting you go," Newt said tightening around me. I moved so we could kneel chest to chest as I buried my head in his neck taking in this euphoric feeling.

"I love you (Y/N). I'm sorry it took so long for me to tell you." I pecked his neck as I tightened into him.

"I love you too. Just don't ever let me go."

This was the start of a beautiful relationship.
