The Maze Runner Fanfic [Newt x Reader]

You work in the gardens with Newt.

"Today will come a new Greenie. You're going to see how scared boys look when they come out of the box. It's hilarious."

"Can I make him the tour?"

"If you talk to Alby, he might let you. Why?"

"I know how it feels to be confused, not knowing anything and no one answers your questions."

A horrible sound filled the Glade. Your head hurts.

"Come on, the Greenie arrived."

The sound stopped. Everyone is surrounding the box. The same box that brought you in. Alby comes at Newt.

"Help me open this."

The boys pulled the doors that opened the box. It was another girl.

"What? Two in a row?"

You hear whispers from everywhere. You get close to the box. The girl looks at you.

"What is this?" she asks.

"Alby, make everyone leave. I know how she feels." and then you turn to her. "Hi, I'm (y/n). You probably don't remember anything. Can I come down so we can talk better? I'm not going to hurt you." she nods, so you jump in. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions. As you probably saw, we are the only girls around here. What's your name?"

"Teresa. Where am I? How did I get here? Who sent me here and why don't I remember anything?"

"We call this place the Glade. I'll give you a tour when you come out. You came here like we all did: with this box. We don't know who sent us here, but we call them the Creators and I think they made this place. They erased everything from our memory except our name. Do you have any more questions or do you want to start the tour?"

"I guess I'll go with the tour."

"Perfect. Come."

Teresa follows you around the Glade.

"This is where we live. We sleep and eat in the Homestead, we grow our food in the Tree grove and in the Animal pens. Over there we have a forest, the Deadheads. It has that name because that's where we keep the bodies. I don't recommend you to visit that place, it's depressing. We are surrounded by a giant maze. We haven't solved it yet, but we will soon. Or, at least, we hope. Here, we go by 3 simple rules. Rule number 1, never go behind those walls. It's a dangerous place and you can only go there if you're specialized. Rule number 2, never harm another glader. We can't keep this place civilized if the boys randomly decided to kill eachother. Rule number 3, do your part. In order to live, we have to work, to do something. You will start working tomorrow. Any questions?"

"Yea, what does the maze such a dangerous thing?"

"I'm glad you asked. If Alby gave you the tour, he wouldn't have told you, but I will because I know how  is to have so many questions and so little answers. So, the maze itself can't hurt you. Maybe only if you're claustrophobic. The thing is, there are some monsters. Half robot, half living being. They are very deadly. If they don't kill you, they sting. The sting makes you go through horrible pain. The boys say it gives you back some memories."

"Why don't these creatures enter the Glade?"

"I don't know. Maybe the Creators don't let them."

Thomas comes to Teresa.

"Hey, Greenie. What's your name?"

"Teresa."

"I'm Thomas. Nice to meet you." you can see that Thomas likes Teresa. "You're pretty." Oh God, can this boy be more awkward? I need to save him.

"Why don't take Teresa to the wall to sign?" and then you turn to her. "He's a nice guy, he just doesn't know how to introduce himself." Thomas thanks you without words, so you give him the 'go and make me proud' look.

***

Later, at the bonfire, you go to Thomas.

"You really like her, don't you?" you can barely hold your laugh in.

"What? No. No, of course not."

"You do! And if you admit, I'll give you an advice."

"Ok, I do like her. But how can I make her notice me? She clearly likes Newt."

"She what?!" you realize people mustn't know about your relationship with Newt. Especially people like Thomas. "I'm sorry, I was just shocked. I don't understand how she can like someone like Newt when she has you. Ok, hear me out, you have to let her know you like her. Talk to her, help her, anything. Before you lose her."

You know Newt would never let you for Teresa, or at least, you knew. Now you're not so sure. Minho notices and comes to you.

"Hey, is anything wrong?"

You can trust Minho. And you need an advice. "Can we talk somewhere more private?"

"Sure, let's go in the Map room. No one's there."

When you arrive, you tell him every single thing that upsets you.

"So, the thing is I'm with Newt. But that's not what matters now. Until now, he didn't have with whom to replace me. Now Teresa came and Thomas said she likes Newt and I don't know what to do because I can't compare with her, with her perfect face, pretty blue eyes and shiny black hair. And not to mention her laugh and body." you said the last thing in one breath.

"You really think Newt would leave you for a girl like Teresa? You underestimate yourself, (y/n). Newt is so lucky to have a girl like you. I've known this guy for as long as I remember and I never saw him cry. In that moment, he let you in and you are now part of his soul. A love like that is not easy to forget."

Minho's words touched you. "I love you so much, Minho." you go and hug him.

"I love you too."

You stay like that for a minute, when Newt comes in. He sees you crying on Minho's shoulder. 

"I feel like you need to talk." and Minho leaves.

You wipe your tears and turn to Newt.

"What's wrong?" the sadness in his eyes is immeasurable.

"It's nothing. Something really stupid, actually."

"Then you can tell me. I'm not good at reading people, but I can see that you're sad. So, please tell me."

"Thomas said Teresa likes you and I don't want to lose you. She's perfect and I can't even compare with her."

"You're right. You can't compare with Teresa. Not at all. You're beautiful, you're strong, you're courageous, you're funny. She? She's just a normal girl. She's nothing compared to you. No matter how beautiful she would be, I would never leave you for her or anyone else. You're my little princess and your castle is my heart. It will always be. I love everything about you, (y/n)."

You smile and slowly go to Newt. He's taller than you, so you look up. You close your eyes and kiss him. He pulls you closer and kisses you back. After a while, you stop and rest your head on his chest. You can hear his heart beat very fast.

"I love everything about you, too."

You go back to the bonfire and sit next to Teresa.

"So, do you like anyone?"

"Newt and Thomas are cute. I mean, Newt is hotter, but Thomas is such a sweetie."

"Go for Thomas. Newt..." you have to make up a lie. "Newt plays for the other side."

"Oh. Thanks then.  Now I imagine how embarrassing would be for both me and Newt if I tried to flirt with him."

You laugh. Yea, and how not alive would you be if you'd try.
