Not the Same || Newt

WARNING: Brief mentions of  hitting, abusive relationships, and violence. 

Okay, so I portrayed Gally as the bad guy in this. I apologize for doing so but I needed someone with a temper. Thanks!

You gently dabbed the wet towel to the nasty scratch on Gally's arm. Your hands trembled with your face scrunched up in anger. 

"I'm sorry," Gally whispered. 

Hearing his voice was too much for your temper. You threw the rag away in anger. "Oh yeah. You're sorry," you mocked him. You got up and started pacing the room. "You said you would stop getting into fights!!"

"I'm trying-"

"Trying!!! This is the forth fight this month!! If you weren't a keeper, you would have been banished a long time ago!! Gally, you promised me you would stop fighting when we first began dating! That was five months ago!!"

"I know! I just-"

"You know what! Save it! I'm done, Gally!!"

You both froze. You didn't even realize that you were saying that the words just kinda fell out of your mouth. You stared at each other like deer in headlights.  

"A-are you... breaking up with me?" Gally asked as tears formed in his eyes.

"Y-yeah. I-I guess I am," you said. 

"What the hell!!" Gally yelled jumping up with tears pouring down his face. "You don't get to just break up with me!!!" 

This was too much for you.

"Excuse me!! You are not in charge of me!!!"

"Shut up, you bitch!!!!" Gally roared smacking you across the face. You landed on the ground holding your face. Tears ran down your face. Gally hit you. But he wouldn't... he c-couldn't. But he did. Gally's face softened but he was still angry he turned away. "Get out."

You didn't need to be told twice. You rushed out of his room in the homestead. Ten million thought were going through your brain. What would you do now? How could you ever date that - that... jerk? What would happen now? You were so lost in your own train of thought that you ran into someone's chest. You fell on the ground. A hand reached out to touch you and you flinched still in shock from Gally's slap. 

"Y/n," a familiar voice said full of concern. You looked up to see Newt looking down at you. "What's wrong?" You let out a sob and flung yourself into Newt's arms. To your surprise Newt didn't hesitate for a second. He quickly wrapped his arms around you and snuggled you into his chest. "It's okay, love. It's okay," he whispered gently.

"Gally," you snivlled, "h-he..."

"It's alright," Newt told you. You let out another sob. "Shhh, you'll wake everyone up." Newt gently picked you up with you legs wrapped around his waist. "Come on." 

Newt walked you to his room. He placed you on the bed as if you were a child. He then went over to his dresser and got out a shirt and some shorts. He handed the clothing to you. "I'm going to go get an extra pillow, love. Put these on." 

Newt left the room and you slipped on the clothes. You couldn't help but to smell his shirt. Mmm. It smelled like Newt. Wait... what? Why did that matter? You looked around his room and smiled. It was perfectly clean and neat with a few simple decorations. Your eyes then grew big when you noticed that he still had a small piece of wood that was shaped like a flower that you had given him. You smiled. He kept that little piece of junk. Newt knocked on the door. "Y/n, are you... uh, descent?"

You giggled at his gentlemanly behavior. Most of the boys in the glade would have just walked in and made up excuses. Especially Gally.

"Come in," you called. 

Newt opened the door holding a blanket and pillow under one arm and a cup of tea in the other. He looked at you and his eyes got big. "W-wow," he whispered. Once again you giggled. Newt blushed and handed you the tea. "I-I made you some camomile tea. I've heard that it can calm your scences, so... you know."

You smiled. How shucking sweet was he? Gally never did anything like that for you. Newt placed the pillow behind you and threw the blanket on top of you. You were about to tell him thank you when he started to take off your shoes. It wasn't the fact that he was doing it but rather how he did it. His hands barely touched you and he removed them so carefully, as if you were a porcelin doll. He then sat beside you, "Now, tell me what happened."

Tears came to your eyes. Gally definately never did this. You recounted what happened to Newt. When you had finished you faced Newt. You were surprise by the anger and sadness you saw in his eyes. But also... hope? 

"H-he hit you?" Newt nearly growled. You looked away and nodded. As tears ran down your face. Newt's fingers softly held your cheek, turning you to face him. You turned around to see Newt's face extremely close to yours. You stared up into his big, brown orbs. His eyes went from your eyes to your lips and back to you eyes again. 

"May I?" Newt breathed. 

You nodded your consent. Newt kissed you like you had never been kissed before. He was so gentle and loving that you could almost cry from happiness. You kissed back with the same vigor, enjoying his taste. It was hard to explain, sort of a mix between gingerbread and coffee. Newt wrapped his arms around your torso as you wrapped yours around his neck. You slowly pulled apart to breath. You hid your face in his neck. You had never done that with Gally before. 

"I know that you just broke up, but be my girlfriend?" Newt asked shyly.

"Okay," you whispered into his neck happily.
