Y/N's POV   

Gally tells us our plan as we start to head town to the entrance of the tunnels that will lead us into the city. While everyone starts to head down into the tunnels I look at Newt who has a worried expression on his face.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just am really worried about Minho. I'll be fine."

I really hope Minho is safe, for Newt's mental state. I feel like he would spiral if something bad happened to Minho and I really can't lose him. We climb down the latter into a musty sewage tunnel with water pooling on the ground. Newt speaks up and says

"Ugh, this is bloody disgusting."

"Oh come on slinthead we've been through worse."

I say as I playfully punch him in the arm.

"Hey! That hurt."

"Awe Newtie did I hurt you?"

I say in a sarcastic tone and he glares at me while I laugh.

Newt's POV 

Before we head down into the tunnels I look down at my hands. Nobody knows that I have the flare and I'm really scared to tell anyone. I especially don't want to tell y/n, I can't even look at her right now. I feel horrible knowing that I will leave her soon and I- My thoughts were cut off by y/n asking if I was okay. Of course she noticed something was wrong, she's just amazing like that. I tell her that I am fine and I am just worried about Minho even though that's not true. I'm actually dying. I feel so horrible for lying to her but what other choice do I have? As we head into the tunnels I am joking around with y/n and she punches me in the arm. Wow, she packs quite a punch even if it was playful. I rub my arm where she punched me then glare at her. She laughs at me. The audacity!! Then she called me Newtie. I really like that, I've never been called that before but if it's coming from her I love it. If she likes me as much as I like her, knowing that I am dying would tear her apart inside and I can't stand to hurt her or any of my other friends.

Y/N's POV

As we head into the city Newt says

"This is a long way from the glade"

I chuckle and nod my head in agreement. Once we arrive we sneak through the city making sure to avoid the cops. Gally says they have upped security. I wonder if they know we are here. As we were sneaking around I realized I was holding Newt's hand and I started blushing. It just felt so natural I didn't even notice. Even as we are sneaking through a foreign city where if we get caught we will be tortured, all I can think about is Newt. He is always on my mind, it's like he's omnipresent. (I know, big words haha) We finally make it to the ladder that leads you up onto the sides of the city's walls. As we take in the view of the city Gally tells us that he might have a way to get into the tower in the center of the city, the tower that holds Minho. Newt's anger flares as he practically yells

"What do you bloody mean we might?! We came all this way for you to not even have a solid plan?"

He seems really on edge, I wonder if he's doing okay. I remember him acting weird before we went into the tunnels but I push that into the back of my mind. I put my hand on his shoulder and rub his back trying to calm him down.

"Newt it's okay we'll get him, I promise."

He looks at me with sad eyes and sighs. I rest my head on his shoulder.
