Maze Runner story- Beware your fears (Newt × Reader)

*time skip- three days later *
Y/N P.O.V
Since Newt confessed that he loves me, we are a couple and I couldn't be happier. He is so attentive and always takes care of me. When we told Alby about us, he wasn't thrilled but said it would be okay as long as there are no babies in the Glade. He said that like it was the most normal thing in the world. That was pretty weird...
Unfortunately I still couldn't convince Newt to let me join the runners but I won't give up.

Because Newt is in a gathering with Alby and I have my lunch break, I go to my favourite place - the Deadheads. There it is most beautiful at this time of day and as always I sit down under the big tree where Newt found me and calmed me down during my breakdown about a month ago. I close my eyes for a moment and listen to the soft rustling of the leaves. When I open them again, I look at the run-down graveyard. It does not in any way honour the deceased boys as they deserve. I get up and run out of the forest to find Gally. If none of the other shanks ever had the idea to beautify this place, I guess I'll have to do it now.

Newt P.O.V.
After discussing for hours with Alby about forbidding Minho to let Y/N into the Maze, I leave the hut in a state of anger. Our leader unfortunately sees it differently, as we really need some good runners. Alby's opinion is that she just has to show him what she can do so that he allows her to run around in the Maze. And I should be happy for her but I am just afraid that something will happen to my girl. I walk to the gardens and look for Y/N. Her break has been over for an hour and a half but I can only see Zart, Kyle, Max and Ethan working. I ask everyone who might have seen her but they all tell me that she disappeared during her lunch break. It makes me sick, not knowing if she's okay or not and where she is. Maybe she got hurt and needs my help...
Worried, I go to Minho, who has a day off today, and ask him about Y/N. Of course he has no idea but offers me to look for her. Together we walk across the meadow back to the gardens, when it occurs to me. I stop and Minho turns to me in amazement. "How could I forget that? I have looked for her everywhere except her favourite place!" I explain to him and my best friend shakes his head with a grin. "So love really makes you blind." the runner replies with a smile and I roll my eyes. Minho and his comments...
I run as fast as I can into the deadheads and once I stumble over a root I missed on the dark path. Shortly before we reach the graveyard I hear someone singing a song. The clear and lovely voice can only belong to Y/N and I turn to Minho who looks at me with raised eyebrows inquiringly. Carefully we walk on and as the forest clears I see her - my girlfriend. Her y/h/c hair is tied together and next to her are tools and some wooden boards, as well as sticks and flowers. Obviously she does not notice us, because she keeps singing and I think I have never heard anything so beautiful. When I am only a few meters away, she stops and turns around: "Hey Newt- oh and Minho. What are you doing here?" Y/N asks happily and smiles at us. "We were worried about you. Newt couldn't find you." Minho answers. I take her in my arms as a greeting and give her a kiss on the head. Only then I realize what Y/N needed the materials for. "Bloody hell..." I say and release myself from her again. The old graveyard is hardly recognizable. Y/N has renewed the old, rancid signs for the dead gladers and has made each grave an own picture of flowers. In the middle there is a bigger monument with 'George' written on it. The branches that are tied around it are decorated with flowers. I admire each of the graves with my mouth open and even Minho seems to be surprised. Though he would not admit it, I know that it has broken him, that his friends died one after the other. Wordlessly Minho takes Y/N in his arms and whispers something to her before he turns around wordlessly and leaves the small clearing. Y/N turns to me again and strokes a loose strand from her face. "So what do you think? Will the other gladers like it?" she asks and I nod. I still can't find the right words, because of her gesture. She hasn't been with us in the Glade for long but still she sees how hard the last years have been for us. I put one arm around her shoulder and pull her a little bit towards me. "Thank you, Love."

Y/N P.O.V
After Newt has made his way to Alby to show him the graveyard, I collect all remaining sticks and boards. Meanwhile it is evening and I recognize the narrow path only dimly. Slowly I start walking towards the Glade and try to keep my orientation. As I pass Newts and my lake I look at the glittering water and don't pay attention where I step. I stumble and the boards slip out of my arms. "Bloody klunk!..." I curse and scramble up to pick it all up again. Something warm runs over my hands and I see in the little light that shines through the canopy of leaves how blood flows from a few big cuts in my hands. I stumble to the lake and carefully let my hands slide into the water. It burns a little at first but gradually it gets better and even starts to tingle a little. Finally I make my way back to the Glade. When I have taken the materials away, I go to the big bonfire, around which all the boys have already gathered. Weird...usually it is never such a big deal. Before I can even start looking for Newt, two arms wrap around my hips from behind and immediately I know that it is him. Newt gives me a kiss on the cheek and when I turn my head towards him he grins at me. I kiss him briefly but passionately and hear someone moaning annoyed. "That's shucking disgusting guys! Get a room because I'm pretty sure that the greenie doesn't want to see that and I do not either." Minho complains and I turn to him in surprise. Greenie? Next to the runner stands a tall dark brown-haired boy with dark eyes, who seems to be quite overwhelmed. "Greenie, this is Y/N my girlfriend and by the way the only girl. She came here a month before you and works in the gardens with Zart and me." says Newt and puts an arm around my shoulder. I smile at the new boy friendly. "Hey, do you already know your name ?" I ask and he nods. "I'm Thomas but somehow everyone around here just calls me Greenie." he says and I look at him amused. "You probably have to get used to that. Welcome to the bloody glade Tommyboy." I reply with a grin and pat him on the shoulder. Then I take Newt's hand and pull him past the two boys. "See you shanks later." I say goodbye and walk to a log. Newt sits down beside me in the grass and I lean my head against his shoulder. "Say, what's that on your jeans?" he asks in amazement and I look at the dark stains decorating the fabric of my trousers. "Probably blood...I fell down in the forest earlier." I say with a shrug. Newt looks at me anxiously and scans my body for injuries. "I hurt my palms, but it's not that bad. ...", I falter and stare at my hands. There is no trace of cuts to be seen and I have no scratches whatsoever. "What do you mean? There is nothing there...are you sure?" Newt asks insecurely and I nod. "I swear to you, just a moment ago there were wounds. Where else could the blood have come from?" I reply nervously and look at him helplessly. "I'm sure there's another explanation. Let's go for a drink first. Then you'll forget all about this for a while." Newt suggests reassuringly and helps me up. Hand in hand we walk off to get some of Gally's special drink.
