Love in the Maze (Newt x Reader)

The whole Glade was silent, not even a breath could be heard. It was like the world was put on mute for a minute because nothing could be heard from anyone. Newt's tears of disbelief and joy finally pooled down his cheeks and onto his shirt, finally releasing all of the pain and agony he had felt for the past year.
"Where is your Glade?", Alby suddenly broke the overbearing silence and looked straight at the two strangers.
"Field!", Harriet snapped back, reminding him that they didn't belong in the same place as them. Alby sighed frustratedly and corrected himself. "All right... Field. Where is your Field?", but before any of the girls could answer, the well-known closing of the Doors sounded throughout the whole place.
"No!", Sonya cried out, struggling against her restraints. Minho and Thomas were on the both of them quicker than clicking fingers, holding them in their place. "Let us go! We need to get back to the Field!".
"No! If you go in there, you'll just get yourself killed", Alby yelled, "It would be better if you just stayed the night and we searched for this 'tunnel' in the morning".

The girls stopped struggling when they realised he was right. What good would it be if they went out there, only to be eaten before they even found the tunnel back to their home? Besides, neither of them had spent a night in the Maze and they weren't going make this the first time. So when all 4 doors closed, the girls were untied and pulled to their feet.
"You two can stay in the Homestead", Alby said, although it sounded like more of a command. "Chuck will set you guys up. Then, me and the boys need to talk about this. Sleep well". And with that, Alby was gone, and so were most of the other Gladers, already heading to get dinner at the kitchen. As the boys dispersed, Newt walked away towards the Deadheads, heading for a spot he had now come to love and hate over the past year. After he reached the point where the Southern door and the Western door met, he slumped down to the leafy ground and stared straight ahead. 'Alive', he thought, still in disbelief, 'She's alive...'. If what Sonya and Harriet said was true, then... He was in such a state that he didn't hear his best friend coming.

"Hey, slinthead!", Minho greeted the blonde boy as he slumped onto the hard ground. The boy in question shook his head and mumbled a quiet greeting as he continued to think of the recent events. "What's up with you, buddy?", the bulky Asian questioned, now noticing Newt's distant look.
"It's just... I can't believe it! I mean, it's been over a year now, she would've woken up by now if what their saying is true. But just to know she's alive... I can't believe it", Newt replied, still staring at nothing in particular in front of his deep, brown, dazed eyes.

Minho just sat there, taking in the situation of it all. Yes, he was also shocked and relieved to hear his friend was still alive and well against all odds, but he hid it. If it wasn't for the steady wall he had built around himself after Y/N's supposed death, he would've been just as emotional as Newt. After all, Y/N was everybody's friend, everybody loved her as a sister or a mother. But he also knew how much she had meant his friend beside him, practically everything! So he came up with a thought that might just cheer Newt up a bit more.

"Hey, Newt!", he softly called to his friend, who twisted his head to hear him better, "When the Doors open tomorrow and the girls show us this 'tunnel', do you wanna join us? I mean, it will be like old times! And you can see Y/N again... Your choice, mate". After hearing this, Newt's heart stopped once more. 'Go running... See Y/N...', he was shock to say the least. To run the shuckin' Maze was something he never wanted to do again. But to see Y/N again, to hold her again, would be worth it. So Newt replied, "Thanks, Minho. I would like to join you in running again". Minho just smiled a goofy smile and heaved himself up. He then offered a hand to his friend, who gladly accepted it, and walked back to grab some dinner. Newt had never felt more happy than he had the day he met the H/C haired Runner. So as he fell asleep, he held onto the thought that he was getting his girl back, that he was going to see her again. And that night was the most peaceful night he had ever had in a long, long time.
