Newt x Reader - The Heart

Finding A Way

Weird, I think before swinging my feet across the bed and rising, dizziness not apparent. I look around, examining everything from the small vanity in the corner to Newts Hammock which is directly across from mind. My heart hurts again as my grins fades, for a second I forgot that Newts gone. Or so I thought until I see it.

Newts Jacket, laying across a chair in the corner of the room. This causes me to rush out the door and run straight to the beach, the place Newt and I always met at the shore to talk and have fun. I run as fast as I can but I stop as I see him.

Newt is sitting at the shore, the ocean hitting his feet ever so slightly as he watches the sky. Tears brim my eyes as I walk up to him.

Newts turns around as he hears my footsteps approach me causing a smile to form on his lips as he stands up. "Took you long enough." He says as I run up to him, wrapping my arms around his neck as tight as I can as tears fall.
"I thought you died." I say as I release from the hug allowing myself to look up at him.

"I did." Newt says as he let's go of me, causing my body to shiver from the lack of warmth. I furrow my brows at Newt, so confused at what he's talking about. How could he be dead if he's standing right in front of me? How could he be dead if I can touch him? Then it hits me. This is all in my head.

"Sit with me?" Newts asks as he sits down in the same spot he was last time. I slowly walk beside him and sit down, looking at the beautiful ocean waves crashing against each other before ending peacefully at my toes.

"Minho was right." Newt says causing me to look at him. I furrow my brows as I try and remember what he's talking about. "What about?" I ask, causing Newt to look at me. His eyes flickering from my lips to my eyes before he speaks. "He was right about the part of me spending the rest of my life with you. I would if I could, truly. You made me the happiest person in the world, and I love you so much, (Y/n)." He says as tears brim his eyes. I lean in my eyes focused on Newts as our lips get millimeters away from each other. "And I love you Newt. More then anything." I say as he closes the distance. Our lips dancing in perfect sync as fireworks explode in my stomach, a shiver running down my spine.

He pulls away as he places his hand on my face, his eyes still locked with mine as he rests his head on mine. "Which is why I had to say goodbye to you. I needed to tell you to not wait to be happy. Find someone amazing and who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. Get married and spend the rest of your life with them and cherish every moment of your precious life and don't waste it." He says as his thumb caresses my cheek softly, causing me to lean into his hand as tears fall down and into my cheeks.

"How am I supposed to live without you?" I say, my voice weak as I sniffle. "You won't be without me, I will always be here." Newt says as he points at my heart. "I will always be by your side, you just need to promise me you will find a way. I can't rest if I don't know you will be ok, love." He says causing me to close my eyes tightly. "Please, my love promise me." Newts voice breaking with every word.

"I- I promise." I manage to get out as I open my eyes, forcing me to open my eyes. Newt slowly pulls away from me a small smile on his face as he does so. I watch as Newt lifts his hand, only his pinkie out as he stares at me, a playful smile plastered on his face before whispering.

"Pinkie promise?" I look at him and begin to laugh slightly as I bring my pinkie towards his and interlock it, a playful smile on my face as well. "Pinkie promise." I say as I look into his eyes.

"What was it you told me that we had to do to- what did you say? Oh yeah- seal the deal?" He says as he wiggles his eyebrows up and down causing me to laugh loudly. "There's that beautiful laugh." He says as he leans closer to his hand before kissing it, causing me to do the same. "I guess it's settled then..." he says lowly before standing up, causing my smile to fall as I quickly stand with him.
