Mine - A Newt Imagine

2

When you arrived at the breakfast table you sat down next to Newt, your knees deliberately knocking against each other.

"FOOD! FOOD FOOD FOOD!" Minho yelled, sitting down opposite you. The corner of your mouth twitched but you were quickly distracted by Newt dropping his hand under the table, the edges of his fingers just skimming your thigh.

"You two look tired," Gally pointed out, not even picking up his fork, "Long night?" Minho burst out laughing and Newt just rolled his eyes, scowling before going back to his food unbothered. You didn't want to raise your eyes, something was off about Gally that the other boys didn't seem to notice, he'd always been confrontational and never the friendliest but now there was something new, something you hadn't seen in him before. It scared you a little.

Instead of concentrating on it however, your mind was quickly drawn back to Newt as he inched his hand slowly onto your knee, his little finger gently moving across your soft skin. You blushed a violent red and pressed your leg even harder to his. You'd always liked Newt, he was kind, and funny, and one of your best friends in the Glade, but now, no, you didn't allow yourself to think.

"C'mon Y/n, we're going to be late." Gally huffed as he stood. Reluctantly you followed suit, waving a goodbye to the rest of the boys at the table.

Whereas you and Gally would usually work together as the edge of the woods today he continued walking past the tree line, causing you to scurry after him.

"Uh, are we doing something different today?" You asked, desperate to break the awful silence.

"You could say that." his voice was emotionless. Gally suddenly stopped and you almost bumped into him. It was only now when you were alone you realised how much bigger than you he was. He turned to face you, his eyes still slitted with the anger he'd had since he found you in Newt's bed, "What were you really doing this morning?" He asked.

"What? I was- you know why I was-"

"Cut it out." he snapped suddenly, his voice so loud it made you jump, your back coming into contact with a nearby tree.

"Gally, I don't know-" he cut you off by placing a large hand on the side of your face.

"You don't see it do you?" he sounded almost desperate, "I work with you everyday, I protect you from the other boys, I give you special treatment, and how do you thank me? By sleeping with the first guy that cons you into bed."

Your heart beat furiously in your chest as adrenaline rushed through your body, you opened your mouth to speak but his hand quickly covered it. Without thinking you punched him squarely in the face and ran.
