(Newt x Reader) // (Minho x Reader)
What if you would find yourself in the Glade?
What if all of the sudden two boys are head over heels for you?
Everyone expected another boy to arrive with the box, but to their surprise they were greeted by a girl...
As you were running through the woods, branches were whipping your face and scratching your limbs. You stumbled across roots and sticks. A few times you also almost fell down, but by rowing with your arms you were able to maintain your balance. You felt your lungs burning like fire from all the running, but your mortal agony was way too big and prevented you from even thinking about stopping to run. To your relief, you finally noticed the trees to lighten and saw the edge of the woods, Thomas was still sprinting ahead from you.
After what felt like a marathon, you finally broke through the bushes, which formed the end of the forest. "Help!!", both you and Thomas screamed out while running. At first the other Gladers seemed confused, but after Ben also broke through the bushes, they seemed to slowly understand. But still not fast enough.
As you thought you finally were safe, you felt something tearing you to the ground. You let out a loud scream as you lied under Ben, who seemed like he was also trying to bite you. You struggled to push his face away from your body. You wiggled with your legs and shook your head as you screamed and felt hot tears escaping your eyes as you pinched your eyes shut. "Help!" you cried out and in the corner of your eyes you saw the other Gladers running towards you, but they still seemed to run painfully slow, as you felt your muscles give in. "Newt!!" you finally screamed in full agony.
BAM!

You heard metal hitting skin and the weight of Ben was relieved from your body. You slowly opened your eyes, your whole body was trembling. You sat up and saw Newt standing with a shovel in front of you. He had hit Ben in the face with the gardening tool and now Ben was held down to the ground by some boys, among them Frypan and for whatever reason also Chuck. Ben was wiggling, screaming and roaring, his eyes were now fixated on Thomas. "He's evil! I saw him! He's evil! Kill him, kill him, kill him!!" Ben kept repeating the same words over and over again, the words seem to echo from the walls of the Glade. Over and over again, the words seem to echo from the walls of the Glade, over and over, again and again...
You just looked between Ben and Thomas. Thomas looked like he had seen a ghost, he was pale like a corpse and his eyes seemed to water. Blood was soaked in his shirt at the spot where Ben had bit him. Ribwort would be the right herb to clean his wound and clove could help with the pain. Maybe he would want some St. John's wort to calm down? You knew all your knowledge about herbs didn't matter at this point, but other than that your mind was blank, unable to process what had just happened.
Your paralysis was interrupted as somebody kneeled down besides you. You directed your gaze to the person and you looked into Newt's brown eyes. They always gave you comfort, but right now you were just trembling. Your body was covered in sweat, you had small cuts and bruises all over your arms. The tears had already dried in place and you quietly sniffled, the blood in your cheeks made you feel hot and cold all at the same time and your muscles still felt the need to stand up and run away. You were in total shock.
"Y/n, what happened?" Newt whispered, only for you to hear. "I- I-" somehow no word wanted to pass your lips. "I- Tommy- B-Ben-" you wanted to continue, but you couldn't hold it back any longer. You started to cry. You had problems catching your breath and just looked at Newt as you allowed the tears to roll over your cheeks. Instantly Newt wrapped his arms around you and held you close to his chest. He was stroking your hair and you tried to concentrate on the beat of his heart in order to calm down. "Shhh. It's okay love. I got you, I'll not let you go".
Newt spoke quietly and in a soothing voice which actually managed to calm you down. You felt your heartbeat slowing down and the tears stopped falling. You closed your eyes for a moment and steadied your breath. You felt safe in Newt's arms and the comfort he gave you was enough to get you through the shock. After a few more moments Newt helped you to stand up, but still held your hand. You were thankful for this contact as you now looked at Ben, who still lied on the ground, struggling against the other Gladers.
Thomas had sat down and held his head in his hands, he seemed to be as exhausted as you were. "Throw him into the slammers" you heard the strong voice from Alby from behind you. You haven't even noticed that he also had come "We'll decide later what we are going to do" he announced and sounded incredibly firm. Ben still looked at Thomas, even now that he knew his actions would have consequences he tried to get to Thomas. What was going on with him? You were aware that Ben neither liked you nor Thomas, but he would never attack you!
"What's going on?!" you right away noticed Minho's voice, he sounded angry and worried at the same time. You turned around to look at him and at the sight of your swollen eyes, his lips parted. A thousand things rushed through his head - who dares to make Y/n cry? He felt adrenaline shooting through his veins, whoever dared to hurt you would regret it.
His gaze shortly twitched towards your hand holding Newts, but then right back to your eyes. "What's going on?" he repeated his question, but wouldn't even dare to look away from your eyes. "Y/n got attacked" Chuck said as he approached the group. "Attacked?" Minho questioned and looked at Ben, "Y/n did Ben attack you?" he asked, firm, but in disbelief. You couldn't put your finger on what emotion Minho was feeling right now, was it rage? Disbelief? Confusion? You just nodded, unable to say a word.
Minho's face twitched, he clicked his tongue and walked past you, Newt and Chuck. You turned around and saw him march towards Ben. Ben was held with his arms behind his back by several Gladers. Before you could even think about it for another second, you heard an impact and a crack. Ben's head shot back.
