How to Save a Life: Newt x Reader (EDITED)

Chapter 12: News to the Public

You woke up as usual, did your hair and tried to make sure your clothes didn't look like a ragged mess. You headed to the kitchen where Newt was waiting for you with two plates of food.
Aw, he got you food!

You smiled and went to join him. "Morning, Love." he said planting a kiss on your forehead. "Mornin'." you say with a sweet smile. The two of you sat down and ate together. Newt tried to keep conversation with you like what were were going to work on today, if you were planning on writing any songs, and that you two would meet by the forest after everyone was asleep."

Of course you complied with all his questions and comments, but then you still look at him in wonder. 

Once your day starts, you work in the fields with Newt and Zart. Boys start to notice the relationship between you and Newt had changed and gotten stronger. The both of you continued to work, ignoring the other boys' comments and gestures, though you laughed at them to yourself quietly.

At lunch when the both of you were eating sandwiches, Gally walks up to you. "Is there something you would like to tell us?" he raised an eyebrow. Newt got annoyed and stood up. "Yes, Gally. I do." Newt replied. "Well, go on?" he said shooting a glance at you, then back to Newt. 

"Me and Y/N are together." Newt said putting an arm around your shoulder. "Oh well, how wonderful." Gally said sarcastically. "She will only become a distraction to you. You will see her and be with you more then work. You will start to slack, which will put part of our survival at steak." 

"I'm sorry, but did you NOT see us work our arses off in the gardens this morning. Even when the others would talk back to us, we still worked. So STOP thinking you know anything, you shank! Because you barely know ANYTHING." Newt defended. You looked up at the both of them in shock.

You couldn't help, but to walk away with your head down and went to the med-jack hut. You went straight to your brother who was barely conscious. "Hey, Justin." you greeted with a small smile.  Justin slightly opened his eyes. "Hey sis." he greeted, weakly.

You then started to talk to him about EVERYTHING! The song you wrote, what happened in the forest with you and Newt, and what just went down in the kitchen.

"Everything will be alright, Y/N." Justin said as his muscles jolted. "But, If that boy hurts you, then he will be sorry."
You chuckle as your brother defended you. "But, I do trust him. And I trust that he cares for you. Don't doubt that he does. I've notice the things that went on with you two before I was stung. I was actually gonna embarrass him when I got back that day, but as you can tell there were some... complications."

You traced your hand over his hair. "You're allowed to stay until my birthday." you said, changing the subject. "I know. Alby told me." Justin managed a small smile before grunting in pain. "You should get some rest. I have to work." you say patting his hand and plating a small peck on his temple.

You leave his room where a couple of patients were waiting. Most of them were slicers and a couple of builders. The boys would try to ask questions about you and Newt. You would only sigh in response or reply a simple 'yes' or 'no'.

At dinner,  you and Newt awkwardly sat next to each other. He was drinking Gally's recipe. Maybe a little too much of it. "You know, Y/N..." he said, swaying. "We should mmake or relationship public so that they aaalll know and so they could leave us alooooooooone."

You tried not to laugh at his extended sounds of words. You felt really uneasy, but you gave him a slight nod to let him. He gave you a smirk and stood up on the table with the jar of Gally's recipe in his hand. 

"Alright, everyone." Newt said lifting his glass to get the boys' attention. "Too much to drink, Newt?" Zart commented. That got a few laughs, even from you and Newt. "I have an announcement to make."
Everyone was now silent, ready to hear the news. "Y/N and I are officially a couple and I want you alll to knooow that if anybody tries anything with her, you will have to go through me."
He took a long drink and slammed his jar to the table, causing it to break.

Absolute silence

"I'll drink to that!" said Frypan, raising a glass. Then everyone else did so in agreement and took a long drink. "Get Newt some water!" I yelled as Newt almost fell of the table, but you and Gally caught him.

"That took guts." said Gally. "I respect that.". You smile at Gally as you help Newt put his crutches back on him. You brought him to the kitchen and filled up a glass of water, making him drink every last drop.

"Wait, this isn't Gally's drink." he said as he finished the last gulp. "Nope. But, I want you to be sane when we go to the forest tonight. I have something to ask you." you say taking the glass back and refilling the glass.

You almost had to force him to drink the next glass. But, after the last glass, he was a lot more sane.

"I am sooo sorry did that, Y/N. I had no idea what I was doing." Newt apologized. "No, Newt. It's okay. Everyone is now respectable of us and are backing off. We have nothing to worry about." you say as you put the glass in the sink for Frypan to wash later (Sorry Fry)

You wait until everyone was back at homestead and you and Newt walked to the forest. You stop by the tree with your carving on it. Newt then rushed into you for a kiss that your gladly accepted. The kiss was longer, more like ten seconds.

Once the two of you broke apart for air, you then ask him the question that has been on your mind since last night. "Why me?"
"-What?" Newt asked, making straight eye contact with you. "Why did you choose me?" you asked. "Why wouldn't I? You're beautiful, smart. And I believe that no other girl in the world can compare to you. You're different."

"But, how can you know that for sure? You don't even remember the last time you saw a girl before the maze. No one does."
"I have dreams, Y/N." Newt looked at you in disbelief. "I dream about certain things. I think to believe that they are memories. You are in them. And in those dreams, you are the only one that I care about. There was only one other girl I remember seeing, but she was nothing compared to you. Is that proof enough to you?"

You look at Newt with shock. He dreams about memories too? Maybe he was telling the truth and wasn't just saying it because you were a girl. "You dream about memories too?" you asked. Newt nodded his head. "I actually did too the other night."

Then you tell him what happened in your dream/vision/flashback. 

"Maybe we are truly meant to be if we were somehow together before the maze." newt commented as hugged you. You tried not to let tears rise as he did so. "I really love you, Y/N. Don't ever doubt yourself. I will prove to you that I am worthy. I will. I will."

You let a small giggle escape your lips. "Time for bed." you say breaking the hug. "I'm off my crutches next week. I'll finally be able to cuddle you more often and hold your hand." Newt smiled.

You planted a kiss on his sandy blonde hair and walked back to homestead. You felt a lot better and more confident about yourself.

You two faced each other out of your hut. He gave you a hug and whispered in you ear. "Y/N, you're amazing just the way you are." then kissed your cheek and gave you one last kiss before hopping back on his crutches, back to homestead.

You went in your hut and went to sleep, feeling self-confident and happy.
