The Maze Runner Imagines

The Date//Newt//Part 2

You nod, "So did I."

"Are you sure?" He asks, his voice softer than usual. "I know I kind of forced you into this... only now I realise that that was probably an asshole move but...

You turn to him, rolling onto your side. He rolls onto his and faces you too. "It was kind of an asshole move, but I'm glad you did it. I really did like tonight, it's one of the best nights of my life."

He raises an eyebrow, "One of?"

"Well... it comes pretty close to that one time I got to go to the Olympics to watch my idol run the hurdles..."

Newt laughs, loud, his shoulders and chest shaking, "You're such a nerd."

"Hey!"

He inches closer to your face, his hand cupping the side of your jaw and cheek, "An incredibly sexy nerd."

You giggle as he pulls you into a kiss, his lips gentle on yours at first before your hands touch his waist. You both pull away, something in you ignites... something in you flicks on like a lightbulb. You never thought your relationship with Newton would ever take this turn... because you completely misjudged him. You made your own assumptions about him, and they were completely incorrect.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"I..." You chew the bottom of your lip, "I have something else to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"The first time I spoke to you... you sort of blew me off."

"What?"

You sigh, wishing you hadn't brought it up, "You flicked your fingers, you know, like when you're shooing something away. So I left... and we never spoke again."

He frowns, "I really did that?" He raises his head onto his hand, "I can't imagine myself ever shooing you away."

"Well... You did. I remember it exactly. You were wearing that coat of yours, and a red scarf or something-

"A scarf?" He asks suddenly, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. It was red and it had straggly bits of material on the end."

He immediately sits up, "Oh my gosh! You're Sneeze Girl!"

You sit up too, but much slower. "I'm... what?"

"Sneeze Girl!" He laughs loudly again, "Yes! I remember it too! Look, I only ever wear that scarf when I'm sick because I always get insanely cold. Anyway, you were walking up to me, and you looked so pretty in that blue sweater. Do you still have that?"

You nod your head slowly.

"Anyway, I was preparing myself to ask you out because heck, I've never seen someone that pretty before. But as you came closer I was about to sneeze, and I didn't want to sneeze all over you because that would be rude so I... So yeah, I shooed you away I suppose, in an effort to warn you that I was sick and you were at risk of being infected. When I looked up after my sneezing fit, you were gone and my heart completely broke. I'd been looking for Sneeze Girl... well, you, obviously, for the next few weeks but I couldn't find you!"

"Oh my..." You face-palm, "I cannot believe you!"

"I promise it's true, you can read my journal. I was so heartbroken!"

You raise an eyebrow, "Your journal?"

Newt frowns, "Yes, my journal. You have a problem with journals?"

You giggle and cup his face with your cold hands, "No, of course not," You kiss him on the lips again and he kisses you back. You really did misjudge this sweet cinnamon roll.
