I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Y/n was a new greenie to the glade, the only girl. Newt had shown her around throughout the day, trying to help her calm down slightly as this new life was a big shock especially since she was trapped with boys.

It was currently the bonfire and she had taken a liking to Gally's special drink. She had drunk a lot and was dancing around with Newt slightly drunk.

Later on she threw up, as expected, from drinking too much. Newt was there for her and held her hair back.

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, "I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest"

After she felt better she stood up smiling at Newt as thanks. Newt stared at her with no explanation and she found herself staring back.

Randomly, Newt pulled Y/n to him hugging her to his chest. Y/n smiled slightly and hugged him back enjoying his company.

She asked him to stay with her since she was naturally scared.

Newt said ok.

I knew I loved you then, but you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I knew I needed you, but I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

As y/n settled down for the night closing her eyes and trying to sleep Newt reached out from beside her and brushed some stray hair from her face.

He was happy that she was comfortable with him and trusted him after only knowing her a few hours.

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

The next day y/n slept in late but Newt let her knowing she needed rest from the busy time she had yesterday. Once she woke up Newt walked in with some breakfast for her.

She was very grateful and smiled as he gave her a small kiss on the forehead. Just before he walked out to start his jobs he looked back and smiled at her slightly.

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

As y/n spent more time in the glade over the months she grew closer and closer with Newt. She knew that without Newt she wouldn't be sane in the Glade after everything that had happened.

Newt always thought she was beautiful, maybe it was because she was the only girl he could remember seeing but deep down he knew it was because she was special.

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than what its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

One day when they were in the Scorch and Winston had just died he said the 3 special words. Nobody knew if they were going to get infected so he wanted to do it before he regretted not saying anything.

As he said 'I love you' she smiled and kissed him before repeating the words back.

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me
When I needed you most

Of course sometimes everyone is unlucky in these times. Newt was infected as he had feared and there wasn't much time left for him in the world.

When y/n found out she cried so, so much before spending even more time with Newt than before.

I'm gonna love you 'til my lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you
Now everybody knows
That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go

In the message Newt left Y/n that night he died this song was written among some other words. She knew that when she died that they would be together as ghosts.

She loved him.

He loved her.

And they weren't letting go.

Disclaimer: Obviously Newt didn't write this song James Arthur did.
