Different - The Maze Runner: A Newt fanfic

11. I Like Your Hair

"Well,ye." she said almost like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "if you spend all your time with someone 24/7 your bound to fall for them, but I also did walk in on a half naked Jeff making out with Clint and I walked back out before they even realised."

"Ok now you explain it like that it doesn't seem that surprising the dark blonde boy replied, sitting down in her hammock.

"Sometimes I think you like being this dumb," she said walking towards a pile of clothes; pulling out one of Newt's old dark green t-shirts and the pair of burgundy cotton shorts from the other day. "Alright, turn around"

After he turned round and even closed his eyes straight after she asked, she smiled to herself as she changed into her 'pajamas'. "Are you done?" he asked, opening one eye but still turned around.

Giggling slightly she sat down beside him on the hammock, "Yep," as he turned back round with fully opened eyes he looked into her hazel eyes.

As they both laid down on the hammock Athena laid her head on Newt's chest relaxing at the feeling of his chest repeatedly going up on down. He stroked her hair which was still in a ponytail. He looked at the hair tie holding it and grabbed it slightly, "May I?" he asked to which she only replied with a nod, as he pulled the tie from her hair, the copper brown hair fell into natural sets of waves and he brushed through it untangling the slight nots. "I've always liked your hair, it looks nice." he spoke, causing her to turn her head towards him looking in his eyes.

"I like your hair too," she replied with a smile on her face trying to not giggle at the sweet gesture.

"Mhm, sure you do." he said, eyeing her up and down with a smirk on his face.

Rolling her eyes at her reply she shuffled up so their faces were closer together, "I'm being serious," she said giggling.

"Oh ye, you sounded so bloody convincing,"

"Well I am sorry, it was very sweet and I appreciate it very much." both smiling at their childness.

"I know, I'm just teasing love." he said leaning in and kissing her which she returned.

After a few moments of kissing Newt breathed out trying to calm down his nerves. "Right, I have to ask you a question because if i don't i will probably regret it and Minho will probably not leave me alone till i do." Raising an eyebrow at his nervousness and nodding for him to continue, "As you can probably tell, I like you, I have for a damn long time. I love everything about you, the way you put other people before yourself, your personality, the way you always look breathtakingly beautiful every single day. From the day I first met you which is weirdly one of my favorite memories, I always knew you would be someone to me. Someone different from the rest. So what i'm asking in a shucking bloody place like this you have given me hope more times then i care to admit. If you say no i will be very embarrassed but I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend." he breathed out not making eye contact with her nervous he was about to get stabbed in the heart.

Athena grinned at his nervousness and lifted his chin up looking at her, "I would love too Newt. and you didn't need a big beautiful speak to ask, you asking alone would have made me say yes. You are the most; handsome, smartist, selfless man I have ever met, I mean you don't have much competition but that doesn't matter. I would love to be your girlfriend and I would love for you to be my boyfriend." she finished as Newt chuckled at her comment.

The Two shared a single kiss. Which in this moment spoke as much as they needed to know for each other.

"Wait did you say Minho was the one to talk to you?" she asked as she laid her head in the crook of his neck and he played with her hair.

"Ye, why?"

"Well, Frypan told me to ask you. But he also told me that once a day him, Minho and Winston meet up once a day to gossip, mostly about us." she said, causing them both to laugh at what their friends had planned.

"I guess their work paid off then."

"Ye, and it took you two shucking long enough!" The pair heard a voice shout only to be owned by Minho who was low and behold to be sat with Winston and Frypan staring at the couple.

The pair laughed at the response and both simply cuddled closer as he pulled her closer by her waist and more onto him by lifting her leg onto his body by her thigh, as she pulled her arms round his neck and he put his head on top of hers and she hid in the crook of his neck. As she drifted to sleep, Newt stroked the girl's bare leg looking at her relaxed face. "Whatever te quiero means I bloody agree with you," he said smiling and kissed her on her forehead and snuggled closer soon also falling into a deep slumber.
