Love Me Till The Limit - Newt x Reader x Thomas

10

"Anyone like to inform me and what's going on." I say whilst crossing my arms. I was quickly being irritated at the lack of answers I was receiving. An uncomfortable silence fell, Newt being the one to finally answer and break it.

"Gally here thinks we should be punished because we're not officially runners and ran into the maze anyways." Newt put air quotations over the word officially, this was complete and utter bullshit. For one Newt was second in command, giving him automatic permission to run into the maze if needed, and two Thomas was literally in the maze just minutes before he ran back in. Any claim Gally was trying to make right now was a waste of everyone's time and energy.

"This is absolutely pathetic," I say more towards myself than anyone else, no one except Gally seemed to disagree with my statement. "Newt is second in command giving him the rightful place to do a job if needed and Thomas was out in the maze only seconds before running back in. You guys didn't seem to have a problem when he was bringing back all the girls you idiots are drooling over." I continue, putting my two sense in since I seemed to be the only one with brains throughout the group.

"Well this wouldn't be happening if you and your shucking crew didn't show up here, now would it?" Gally rhetorically asks whilst raising his eyebrows so high they were an inch from touching his hairline, it was so funny it almost made me break the straight face I was putting on.

"No, this exact situation would not be happening but I can guarantee you'd find something else to bitch about." I snap back, resulting in him getting angrier than before. I wasn't about to sit around and watch Thomas and Newt get punished for absurd reasons, if being a childish bitch meant getting my point across then I was more than happy to be one. By the look on Gallys face I could tell the wheels inside his head were churning for a come back but only hot air left his mouth instead of actual words.

"That's what I thought." I scoff, sending him a dirty look before turning to Ably wanting to here what his thoughts on the situation were. He sent be a subtle nod, signaling that him and I were on the same page.

"Thanks to everyones input I've come to a conclusion on what to do. Thomas will be made an official runner whereas both boys will serve no form of punishment due to the circumstances that took place beforehand." Ably announces causing some people to cheer and other to start yelling disagreements yet again. Seeing that my job of making sure Thomas and Newt stayed out of trouble was done I exited the hut, not needing to stay and hear the yelling of unhappy boys. Without knowing it Thomas and Newt followed me out and quietly trailed behind me, it wasn't until a stick snapped under their feet that I became aware of their presence.

"Is there a reason you two are following me?" I ask, weirded out by the fact they were just silently walking behind me.

"What? No, we're heading to get lunch." Thomas answers, at first confused on why I thought they were following me but quickly realized they were without meaning to. Feeling more at ease I loosen up, I felt a little bit dumb thinking they were stalking me or something. But in a maze filled with boys going through puberty you could never be to safe.

"Meet you guys there?" I ask needing to go get Cora first considering she probably hasn't eaten yet. It didn't take me long to find her and Mya exploring around in the woods. By the looks of it Cora had already find some stuff because he hands were nearly over flowing with crystals, sticks, cool leaves, pretty much anything the she found slightly interesting.

"You two hungry?" I don't even get any form of a verbal response, only Cora asking me to hold her stuff while Mya and her races each other there. I almost pointed out that they literally had no idea where the dining hall was at but decided to let them figure it out themselves. Cora might have remembered where it was from this morning but I highly doubted she was truly paying attention to where we were while eating. I stuffed her finding in my pockets before finally going to grab some lunch. Surprisingly when I entered Cora was already sat by Thomas and Newt whom all had a plate in front of them. As I was about to head over to Frypan to get my own plate Newt called my name whilst signaling me to come over. Just as I was about to dismiss him and go back to getting my food he held up an extra plate, telling me without words he had grabbed a plate for me.

"How kind of you." I tease as approaching them, really appreciating he took the time to grab me some food. Newt sent a soft smile my way whilst nodding his head, I couldn't help but catch a quick glance of Thomas giving Newt an odd look. They seemed to be getting along fine a minute ago, had something happened? Pushing it off as nothing I begin eating, not really paying attention to the conversation at hand until I hear something intriguing.

"Ya I was thinking about inviting Lizzy to check out the grievers body." Thomas casually says, sending me into a choking fit.

"I'm sorry," I cough out trying to catch my breathe, "what?"

"I said I wanted Lizzy to come with me tomorrow." He repeats, keeping a strange sort of eye contact with me. I almost I thought I was just dreaming or something until I pinched myself under the table only to find myself in the same situation as before.

"This is some sort of joke, right?"

"Why would I be joking? She's really hot and seems to be into me." At this point I was looking around, attempting to read everyone reactions. Minho seemed to be as shocked as I was, both of us holding the same expression. Cora knew something was up but stared down at her food, trying to avoid the awkwardness that was rising by the second. Newt was mindlessly eating, in his own world of thought.

"Never mind then." I shrug, pretending what we was happening in front of me wasn't bothering me at all when i'm reality it was making my skin crawl with rage. I quickly lost my appetite, excusing myself while taking care of my half empty dish. What I didn't know was that Minho followed after me, Thomas getting tense as he watched this happen.

"Please tell me you were also disgusted by that." Minho says, jogging up beside me.

"No, why would I? I have no reason to find that disgusting." I fastly spit out, convincing myself and him that what I'm saying is try.

"I don't know, maybe because you're jealous and just witnessing that makes your stomach knot up." I was speechless, trying to deny it would make me look even more guilt but attempting I was a tad bit jealous would just be plain stupid. Instead I stay silent and continue walking but stopped realizing I had nowhere to go. I planed on going to my hut but then remember I wasn't in my clearing anymore and didn't have a set place to sleep.

"Minho you clearly have a crayon for a brain because you have no idea what you're taking about." I finally say, turning around to see him with an all knowing smirk on his face.

"Right." He sarcastically reply's , making him look much more punchable than ever before. Talking to him was like dealing with a child and I didn't need to put up with it so I just walk off with no specific destination in mind. I ended up sit with my back pressed up against a sturdy tree, thinking about Minho's words that were said only minutes ago. I couldn't help but truly question if he was right, it would make sense considering my recent thoughts and actions. For arguments sake let's say I was jealous that only gave me a clue to my feelings for Thomas and not Newt. Would I be Jealous if Newt was in the same situation. Zero hesitation, only instinct a confident 'yes' was voiced by me, surprising myself even.

"Oh, fuck." I utter out loud, coming to the realization I fretted from the beginning. I had feelings for not only one boy but two, somehow that wasn't even the worst thing. What I considered to be the worst possibility in this circumstance was who I had the feelings for, my childhood friend and a guy I met only days ago. I'm not dumb we lived in a maze that was controlled by other people, the last thing I needed to worry about was something that would happen in a normal high school setting. Plus even if there was a small chance our lives weren't at risk I still wouldn't do anything about my growing feeling considering they most likely didn't feel the same. I doubt Minho actually knew about my crushes, only just joking around not being serious at all. That's what I was hoping at least, I didn't need to deal with trying to keep him quiet on top of everything else.
