A Thomas x Newt Love Story

Part 1, The First Day.

The boy opened his eyes with a lot of effort. When he was fully awake, he noticed he couldn't see anything at all. He tried standing up, but immediately bumped his head against something that was made out of metal. 

''Ow!'' The boy yelled, sitting back down on the place he sat a few seconds ago. He hugged his knees as he started crying. ''Where am I, why am I here?'' The boy said while tears rolled over his cheeks. Suddently, the boy heard a familiar voice in his head:

''Thomas, your name is Thomas.''

The voice in his head said. ''Thomas.. my name is Thomas..'' Thomas said, he had stopped his crying, now slowly rubbing his head, rubbing the spot he bumped against the metal thing. The boy started focusing on his breathing, calming down. ''Thomas..'' He said again. That was the only thing he remembered. He only knew his name, his name! He didn't know how he got into this, elevator? It moved upwards, he could feel it, Thomas suspected it to be an elevator. Then, a small dash of light shined into the elevator. ''Sunlight.''  Thomas thought. Meanwhile, the light got bigger, almost lighting up the whole ''elevator'' he was in. Thomas looked around, noticing he bumped his head on a metal shelf, with.. food on it? The pain from the bump before was gone, now Thomas's head was full of questions. He stayed quiet, hearing people talk. Boys particularly. The two metal hatches got lifted up, making him see a lot of boys standing around the elevator. 

''Are you going to come out of The Box, or do you want to stay in, Newbie?'' He heard a boy say. The boy had a British accent. Thomas looked around, seeing a boy with blond hair. The blond was reaching his hand out to help Thomas out, but Thomas climbed out himself, looking around. ''Heh, welcome to the Glade.'' The blond boy said, stepping in front of Thomas. ''My name is Newt, do you remember your name already?'' Newt smiled. ''Should I trust him? He seems nice?''  Thomas's mind said. ''Thomas, its Thomas.'' Thomas shaked Newts hand softly, looking around. ''Where am I, and why am I here?'' Thomas said to the other boy, who was a little bit taller then himself. ''You're in the Glade. And I don't know why you are here, why we are here. No one knows.'' Newt shrugged. ''I know you have a lot of questions, and we'll try to awnser them all. But we'll do that tomorrow, during the tour, alright?'' The boy with the British accent said. ''For now, just find Chuck, he will show you the basic things, like where we eat dinner, sleep. Chuck is mostly at the three big trees.'' Newt smiled, walking away. Thomas blinked twice, then started walking to the three big trees, looking around.

''Hey, Thomas right?'' A small, chubby boy, probably around the age of 13, said. ''Im Chuck, its nice to meet you!'' Chuck gave Thomas a smile. ''Yeah, im Thomas, nice to meet you Chuck.'' Thomas smiled quickly, it was a small smile. ''So, why am I here?'' The chubby boy awnsered with a shrug. ''I don't know, no ones knows..'' ''Great, just great.'' Thomas said in his mind. The small, chubby boy then changed the subject. ''How about we're going to get some food by Frypan, it's dinner time after all,'' he smiled. ''and im hungry from mopping and cleaning.'' Thomas would awnser with a nod, following Chuck. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck gave Thomas, who was sitting on the grass, his back leaning against a tree, a plate with something that looked like mashed potatoes, some carrots and a small piece of meat. ''Thank you, Chuck.'' Thomas said with a smile. ''Ofcourse, and I guarantee you, Frypan's meals are the best! I've been here for a month now, and they've always been de-li-ci-ous!'' The chubby boy said enthusiastic. Thomas laughed softly. ''Hey Chuck, I have a question, how do I look?'' Chuck looked up at Thomas. ''Well, you have short brown hair, brown eyes and you're tanned. I would say you're around the age of 16, maybe 17?'' Chuck awnsered, taking a bite of the mashed potatoes. ''16.. or 17?''  Thomas thought. He couldn't even remember when his birthday was. ''Alright, thank you Chuck.'' Thomas would awnser back, taking a bite of the carrots. 

When they both finished their meal, Chuck asked Thomas to give his plate to him. He walked away with both of their plates, putting them down on a table where the food was before, now the food was gone, there were only plates. Chuck walked back to Thomas. ''I think you've been noticing The Walls. Behind The Walls is The Maze, you aren't allowed to enter The Maze, only The Runners can. ''Maze, The Runners?'' Thomas thought in his mind. Meanwhile, Chuck continued his story. ''Those walls close every day, I said EVERY day.'' As Chuck said that, the Walls would move to eachother, making the ground shake a bit. ''What the actual..'' Thomas said, staring at the Walls. ''25 seconds. The Walls took 25 seconds until they were touching eachother, leaving no gap between them.'' Thomas said in his mind. ''This happens everyday, they keep us safe from the things that are in the Maze itself.'' Chuck said. ''I bet Alby and Newt will tell you more about that tomorrow, right now, I suggest we should go sleeping. You have to get up early tomorrow.'' The chubby boy signed to Thomas that he had to follow him. They walked towards a big building, looking like a huge house. ''This,'' Chuck continued. ''this is the Homestead. We can sleep here, or sleep outside. It never rains here, so.'' Chuck shrugged, walking into the Homestead. Thomas saw Newt sitting in a big, comfortble looking chair. He waved. ''Hello Thomas.'' Newt said with a smile, showing his white teeth. ''Hi, Newt.'' Thomas smiled, then continued following Chuck. Chuck was upstairs and opened the first door. ''We sleep here, in bunk beds.'' Chuck climbed on top of the bunkbed, Thomas laid down on the bottom bunkbed. ''Well, goodnight, and don't be noisy when Newt or Alby wake you up tomorrow, I would like to sleep a bit more.'' Chuck chuckled. ''Yeah, goodnight.'' Thomas said, closing his eyes and immediately falling asleep, like he haven't slept in two weeks. ''Zzzzz..~''
