"How are you?"
Well, it's been a while since anybody asked me that.

Glade living was rough on the average boy, but with Newt's limp and reason for his limp, you'd trained yourself to keep a careful eye on him. That afternoon he had situated himself under a tree away from he other boys, which he did often. But never before he secured his meal.

You made your way over to him and sat on the other side of the tree. "How are you?"

He didn't respond, instead letting a steady silence hang in the air. "Newt?" You said.

"Sorry." He cleared his throat. "It's just been a while since anyone's asked me that. I guess they figured that my leg is healed so I'm perfectly fine."

"Are you?"

"Not quite."

You reached your hand around the tree to gently pat his arm. "I'm here if you wanna talk."

"Thanks Y/N." You could just about hear the soft smile in his voice.

You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And with a word all my love came rushing out.

When he had come up in the box, you accidentally made quick work of getting Thomas to fall head-over-heels for you. You noticed him acting strangely around you lately. He'd linger on all your touches, wouldn't meet your eyes as often, and was nearly constantly rubbing the back of his neck nervously around you.

"Thomas." You confronted him one day. "What's going on with you?"

Suddenly all his feelings towards you poured out. "I really like you, Y/N, you're gorgeous and funny and creative and I really think I love you and I don't know what to do about it because I'm always wanting to kiss you and hug you and hold your hand."

You were speechless at his confession. "Say something, please." He begged.

"I... like you too."

And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love

You had trouble learning your whole life, and with a memory wipe to get into the Glade didn't help you at all. So once you started dating Minho, it was a whole new premise and rules and things to do. You knew that your relationship was right, even if you were constantly doing things wrong.

Like the first time he went to hug you, you let your arms limply hang by your sides, and your first kiss was even worse, a horrible collision of mouths, teeth, and tongues. Honestly you didn't know why Minho put up with all your mess-ups. Instead, he just calmly taught you these things, patient through everything.

It may be hard to learn, and hard to love, for you, but what you had was Minho was just perfect.
