DEFENCE SYSTEM | NEWT; THE MAZE RUNNER

chapter seven | runner

"y/n continues to find stuff that no one can find,"

"what are you suggesting?" alby said.

"i say we make her a runner," minho said confidently.

"WHAT!?" gally said clearly disagreeing. everyone was shocked; i looked over to newt and saw that smirk, again.

"really?" i asked minho and he nodded.

"i agree," newt said looking at me with a smile.

"same," thomas said. it took a couple of seconds, but alby spoke up.

"me too, y/n is now a runner," i smiled, clearly happy.

"wow," gally said, exiting the hut.

"thanks minho," i said, facing him.

"of course bestie," he said; i smiled at his response.

i never thought they would make her a runner. this is beyond what i thought would happen.

"did you see what happened doctor?" janson said, now entering the room.

"yes, i can see janson," i said back to him, rolling my eyes.

"she is now a runner," he continued.

"yes janson! i can see on the big screens in front of me!" i replied, clearly annoyed now. he slightly huffed and exited the room.

'god, he really is stupid' i thought, while continuing to stare at the screens. i look closer and see subject A5 with a smirk on his face, yet again

now that just can't do.

LATER IN THE DAY

YOUR POV

i am not surprised that gally reacted that way. i mean, he does hate my guts. anyway, i'm now a runner. i'm not gonna lie, i am gonna miss working with clint and jeff, but working with thomas is gonna be a lot of fun. and minho of course. kinda.

i need to go speak to newt. i need to ask him about what he thinks of me being a runner. i'm now going into the meeting hut to find him. i hope it's just him and not his partner in crime he's normally with. finally i reached the doorknob and opened it. i see him by himself, sorting out the supply boxes.

"y/n, hi!" he said in a sweet tone.

"hi newt, i wanted to ask you a question," i asked.

"go ahead," he replied, setting the boxes down.

"i just wanted to get your opinion on me being a runner," i said, sitting on a wooden chair.

"i am fond of you being one only if it makes you happy," he said, now sitting on a chair, facing me.

"really?" i asked, leaning on the back of my seat.

"yeah," he said back.
"but promise me something," newt continued.

"yeah?" i asked.

"just be careful, i don't want you to get hurt," he replied, getting closer. i just stared into his eyes for a few seconds.

"mhm," was all i could muster getting out. we continued to stare into each other's eyes.

"good," he muttered quietly, getting closer and closer. i saw him stare at my lips for a second. i was squealing inside but didn't want to show it. it was close. we nearly did what i have wanted for a long time since i came here. but of course, just when i thought we were about to kiss...
