Above is a picture of Newt. This character is not mine. He belongs to James dashner. And would you believe me that the guy who plays newt is 2t years old. He ages well. Updates on Fridays now. This was supposed to elevate but it would be about 5-7k words and I don't think even you guys would read that.

Gally's head turned when he heard the familiar screeching of the box coming up. He leaped up from his lunch and headed towards the early arrival. Usually the box was supposed to come up a few hours later but Gally paid no mind to it and leaned over to peek and see the new greenie. He reached over and opened the doors, ignoring the other gladers, he peaked into the box.

A small girl with a dark complexion was curled up in the corner looking up at Gally with fear in her eyes. Gally gasped seeing her but wasted no time jumping into the box to help her out. Her body was shaking a bit as Gally approached her, her brown eyes screaming fear.

"Don't be afraid." He said reaching under her legs and back to carry her. She only nodded and clung onto Gally for dear life as he hauled the two of them out of the box.

"Its another girl." Someone gasped from the crowd that had formed from the unexpected arrival. A roar of hushed murmurs surged through the group. The new greenie clung even tighter to Gally, if possible, and whimpered hearing the noise.

"Slim it!" He yelled at the group who immediately quieted down. He waited until her grip loosened before he put her down on her feet.

"Welocme to the glade." Gally said strongly, clapping her gently on the back.

Minho, Alby and Newt were in the middle of a meeting when a knock interrupted them. The three of them gave each other confused looks before telling the person who was knocking to come in. In came Gally and a girl the three had never seen before. Her face was trained to the floor and Gally ushered her into the room.

"We got the new greenie early." He said moving her to the empty seat across from Alby.

"What's your name?" Alby question and looked up to Gally when he recieved no response. He shrugged and tapped her shoulder lightly and whispered in her ear.

"It's y/n." He said when he raised his head. "She's extremely shy." The three of them nodded and carefully examined her, noticing a few scratches and scars but not much else.

"Welcome to the Glade y/n, we don't have many rules. Only three. Do your part, never harm another glader, and don't go beyond the walls." She nodded in understanding and Alby continued, "I'm sure Gally has given you a tour, so we'll get started on finding you a job now."

Newt and Minho stayed silent as Alby explained all the jobs available to y/n. She nodded when it seemed fit and only occasionally looked up and made eye contact with the three of them.

"U-um, I could be a g-gardener, b-becuase I have small h-hands and I'm good with f-flowers." She stuttered out, looking back down shyly. Alby clapped his hands together loudly, which caused y/n to jump, and spoke,

"I guess that settles it. You'll start work tomorrow." With that Gally stood up and escorted y/n to where the hammocks were, knowing she would most likely be exhausted. The three of them followed her out with their eyes before the door slammed shut.

"Definitely the shyest one in the Glade." Alby said looking towards Minho, who nodded.

"She's the quietest." Minho chuckled, "Didn't ask any questions."

"The cutest." Alby and Minho turned to look at Newt who had dazed look on his face. The two gave each other amused glances and laughed loudly, causing Newt to snap out of his trance.

"What?" he snapped as the two only laughed harder and mocked his dazed look. Newt blushed and rolled his eyes at his two best friends.

"She's bloody adorable." He muttered and laid his head on the desk as the two of them continued mocking him.
____________
Early next morning, y/n was already busying herself in the garden. She knew it wasn't her shift, Gally explained it to her, but her mind was running and she needed something to get her mind off of everything.

She was picking some flowers she thought were pretty and sat with her legs crossed as she weaved them together. To engrossed in her flowers y/n didn't notice a familiar blond creeping up behind her. She squeaked when she felt him pressed behind her as he reached in front of her to help weave the flowers into a crown.

"Sorry love, didn't mean to scare you." He whispered in her ear, chuckling when he felt her shiver. She nodded and squeaked out an 'it's fine'. As the morning progressed the two made quiet a few flower crowns ignoring the murmurs from others as Newt placed one on her head and kissed her cheek. Her face heated up under his lips as she blushed and looked down shyly. Newt smiled at her as she looked up and grabbed a flower crown she had made and gently placed it on his head. She had to move onto her knees as she did since Newt was so much taller than she was. Newt was gently holding her hips to sturdy her. She surprised him by kissing his forehead before sitting back down and blushing at her sudden confidence. The two of them just looked in each others eyes not realizing they had attracted a crowd.

"Why aren't you that sweet to me?" Teresa whined, poking Thomas' arm. He rolled his eyes and brought her into his chest shushing her whines.

"Teresa is right, this is sickeningly cute." Minho muttered as Chuck fake gagged.

"Yeah, but he deserves it." Alby sighed as he turned his gaze back to the two of them. Newt grinned cheekily as he gripped y/n's waist and leaned back, pulling her with him. She giggled loudly and tucked her head in his neck, blushing at whatever Newt had whispered in her ear. Y/n sat up on Newt, straddling him, before smiling innocently back at him. Newt smiled at her and grabbed her hips before he sat up too so she was now just sitting in his lap.

"To be honest this is the happiest he's been and shes only been here for two days." Minho said, smiling at the two.

Y/n had finished her rightful shift at the gardens and was walking back to homestead when a voice called out her name. Frypan was calling her as she passed by him to reach homestead. She walked over to where he was and said a shy hi before waiting for him to tell her what he wanted.

"Its been almost two days greenie, you haven't eaten." Y/n blinked at FryPan and looked down to see the bowl of food he was nudging towards her.

"No thank you." She shook her head but Frypan was persistent.

"Come on." He said pushing the food towards her once again. Newt was passing by on his was to homestead himself when he saw y/n and Fypan talking, looks of frustration on both of their faces.

"Whats the problem?" Newt asked his arm immediately wrapping around y/n's shoulder.

"She won't eat." Frypan groaned slamming his hands down on the table, calming down when he saw her jump. Newt's eyebrows furrowed as he looked down at the much shorter girl.

"Why not love?" He asked moving his hand down to her waist, squeezing gently. She looked up at him before looking down again.

"I'm just a bit stressed, uncomfortable and overwhelmed mostly." She said, Newt looked surprised when she didn't stutter. "I-I'll eat when i feel a bit better a-about being h-here." And the cute stutter was back. Newt nodded and removed his hand from her waist before grabbing the food from Frypan for himself. Busy with eating he didn't notice when she had wandered off, not until he heard her familiar squeak. Newt turned his head in time to see her bump into another glader, a builder named Mason. Mason quickly reached out when seeing her tumble and caught her in his arms. He pulled her to his chest and started talking to her, but all Newt could hear was her giggles accompanied by red cheeks. When the two walked off together to homestead Newt angrily finished his food and stomped off to where he knew Minho was.
___________
"It happened so fast and sudden. And she was giggling and blushing like a school girl. He just ran off with her like it was some fucking fairytale." Newt ranted to his closest friend. He came stomping into Minho's room, not even waiting for his friend to ask before he started ranting. Newt was pacing a hole in the floor when he stopped, interrupted by Minho's laughter. Minho had an amused look on his face as he chuckled at Newts ranting.

"Good god, someone's jealous." Minho teased with a glint in his eyes. Newt muttered a few choice words at Mason and Minho before responding.

"Of course I'm shucking jealous." Newt exclaimed throwing his hands up. Minho sighed seeing his friend was a bit more worked up than he thought and grabbed Newt's wrist and brought him to sit next to him.

"Don't worry, it's only her fist few days, she's going to make new friends and they're obviously going to be guys." Minho laughed , clapping Newt on the back. "And if it was 'meant to be' you'll have her no matter what. Give it some time, don't jump into something you might regret." With that Minho stood up and left his friend in his room and headed to to map room. Newt sighed at his friends speech and reached a hand up to run through his messy locks. He had came across a flower crown that was still in his hair. He carefully removed it and held it in his hand, observing it while biting his lip.
"Oh y/n." He mumbled standing up and headed towards the gardens knowing he needed some time to think. He walked looking down with his eyes trained on the white and blue crown. As he reached the gardens he quickly began working, knowing a good sweat would definitely distract him.

It was the next morning, breakfast time, and Newt was looking for y/n. He craned his neck trying to find her familiar head of curls in this mass of people. Glancing at the table where most of the girls and the keepers sat he found you casually talking to Teresa. He sighed in content and started to the table to be interrupted by Mason walking towards him.

"Hey Newt. Could I talk to you?" He asked a big smile on his face. Newt glanced at the slightly shorter boy before giving him a curt nod. Mason led Newt to the side of the med-jack hut that was visible to everyone who was eating.
"Do you know y/n's favorite color or flower?" Mason asked running a hand through his dark brown curls. Newt nodded before replying to him.

"Yeah, orange and tiger lillies, why?" Newt asked fearing that he was going to do some grand gesture and steal her heart.
"She was just feeling a bit down, being in the glade and all. Just trying to be friendly." Mason said glancing up at Newt before looking away quickly. Mason uttered a thanks before hurrying off to the table where most of the builders were.
Newt discarded all worry about y/n and Mason together when he realized he only like her as a friend and headed towards the table where he usually sat.

"Morning." He greeted as he sat at the large wooden table. A chorus of hello's and good mornings' chorused back at him but a soft and quiet voice stood out to him.

"Good morning Newt." She had traded places with Merida, who was next to him, and was now looking up at him. Newt smiled down at her noticing how much smaller she was compared to everyone at the table. She may not have been skinny, but her frame was so small in comparison to everyone.

"Morning sweetheart." He breathed moving an arm down to her waist. She beamed at him and curled into his side, glad for the warmth he was giving off because she was feeling a bit cold. The two of them sat there for a while talking quietly as everybody else joked around at the table.

"Oh, let me grab you something from Frypan." Y/n suddenly jumped up, realizing that breakfast was nearly halfway through and Newt hadn't gotten anything to eat.

"No I'll get..." Newt protested but she was already grabbing a plate of fruit from Frypan's hands. When she carefully walked back with the overflowing plate and two forks, Newt placed a gentle kiss to her cheek before digging in. Her cheeks heated up under his lips before she took her own fork and ate a few pieces only because Newt begged she ate a bit.

"Too cute." Seraphina squealed. All eyes were suddenly on her as her olive skin tinted pink. She blushed and covered her mouth with her hands obviously not meaning to voice her thoughts out. She nodded towards Newt and y/n. In the time that Newt and y/n finished their food they had gotten cozier and were practically cuddling. Newt had pulled y/n into his lap so she was sitting sideways with her head laid carefully on his chest listening to her steady heartbeat. His arms were wrapped around her waist and so were hers as she drifted in and out of consciousness, eyes fluttering open and shut as Newt gently hummed in a random tune.

The other girls quietly awwed at the two as the other keepers gave each other knowing looks. Newt and y/n were oblivious to their stares and kept doing what was comfortable to them.
_____
The night y/n came up in the box she slept in a hammock near the boys, watched over by Gally. The same night the girls of the glade had a meeting.

"She so cute." Jaqeline started when the topic of the meeting was dropped. Her short brown hair bounced as she rambled on, a bit excited about the new girl. The other girls mummered in agreement and talked a bit about her features. Her dark skin, dark eyes and round face with chubby cheeks. Adorable, all of her.

"She doesn't talk much." Merida added, "I tried to talk to her but she avoided talking at all costs." Merida twirled one of her red unruly curls trying to figure out why.

"Yeah, and she doesn't seem like she could defend herself very well. She so tiny." Clara interjected, her tall frame looked uncomfortable curled up in the corner. The other girls nodded and looked for a solution.

"We just have to protect her at all costs." Seraphina declared, her hazel eyes shining with leadership. "She's one of us now." The other girls cheered and whooped, glad that their little family was growing.
_____
"Hey y/n, wait for me!" Newt called out. It was nearing the end of y/n's first month in the glade. Nearly everyday she and Newt walked to the gardens together and worked shifts together.

She didn't respond, she only stopped walking and waited for Newt to limp over with a smile on her face. Once reaching her, Newt reached out for her hand and intertwined them and continued to the gardens. Looking down at their intertwined hand, Newt chuckled at the first time he held her hand.

Y/n was quietly humming to herself as she walked to the gardens. It was only her third day here but she felt as if it had been her home for years. Everyone was so kind and welcoming to her, a bit rambunctious but she would learn to get used to it. She was introduced to the other girls of the glade where she learned that she was only the sixth girl.
Y/n was pulled out of her thoughts by the feeling of someone's hand slipping into her own. Not thinking she let out a faint scream and jumped away from the person.

"Calm down love, just checking your word." Newt chuckled, reaching out and pulling the frightened girl, y/n asked a question.

"What do you mean?" She asked in a small voice.

"You said your hands were small." Newt shrugged, "I have to make sure." He smirked at her flushed expression.

The two arrived at the gardens and quickly got to work, planting different crops since the others had recently been harvested.

"Y/N?" Newt called out as he limped over to her, finishing his work. She smiled up at him before nodding as a reply. Newt gave her a gentle one back before plopping down next to her.

"One day..." He trailed off, hooking an arm around her shoulder. He smiled when she instinctively curled into his side. "When we get out of this maze."

"Mhmm." She hummed, twiddling a blade of grass between her chubby fingers.

"I'd like to think we'd go somewhere, be something. We'd buy a house, live together. Joust be together. I'm fine as long as I'm with you."

"As long as I'm with you." She murmured with a new light shining in her eyes. Adoration was clear as day in her eyes and in her features.

"Wouldn't have it any other way darling."
