The Maze Runner Imagines and Preferences

Newt X Reader: Sick Newt

Heya peoples!
So this was my first requested imagine on Tumblr so it's not the best but I find it quite sweet ^__^.
As always, enjoy!

I wasn't knew in the glade any more, Chuck was the latest Greenie now. It felt so good to actually be referred to Y/N instead of greenbean or some shuck nickname.

I was a runner, Alby figured I was good enough after a little persuasion by me and Minho. Newt didn't exactly approve though, he had some idea that he was in charge of me or something, said I wasn't ready or it was too dangerous. I bet it's really because I'm a girl or some stupid reason like that. Anyway, it was my third day in the maze and Minho let me go my own way. He admitted I was the fastest runner so long as I admitted he was the strongest.

The day was long and I took plenty of breaks, yet still careful not to run out of water. My watch buzzed telling me it was time to head back before the doors shut. Everyone made it back and we reported to the map room.

Me and Minho went off for food and we became aware that Newt wasn't there.
"Hey Frypan! Where's Newt at?" I asked, taking the soup from his grip and passing it to Minho. He handed me my own bowl before answering "He's sick, got some bug-" he noticed my worried expression before adding "Don't worry Y/N, its not food poisoning!' He chuckled a little and I didn't tell him that I was more concerned about Newt than the food.

Minho suggested we ate and then went to see him but Alby said they were only letting medjacks in. I smiled at this "Can I go then?"
"I just said Y/N, medjacks only!" Alby looked confused.
"I used to help out with the medjacks before I was a runner." I reminded him, he seemed to consider this carefully. "Fine, go ahead."

I nodded at Minho before heading off towards where Newt was. He stared, amazed Alby didn't take all that much convincing. I too was quite surprised but didn't show it, I liked letting Minho think I knew what I was doing. Most of the time I just improvised though.

I pulled back the curtain before going over to Newt's bed.
Newt was asleep, he looked surprisingly peaceful for a sick glader. His breathing was a little uneven which worried me, but other than that he seemed fine. His blonde hair sat neatly in his head and his lips were softly parted a little.
His eyes opened slowly and I looked away as not to seem creepy, reaching for some water, busying myself.

"Hey Y/N, Alby found you then." His voice was a little croaky and he was clearly exhausted.
"Found me?" I asked, handing him the water.
"Yeah," he took it appreciatively "I asked to see you." He then leaned forward and his body jerked, readying itself, I hastily grabbed a bucket and held it in front of him. He wretched before throwing up for real, my hand rested gently on his back.

'I asked to see you.' The words repeated in my head. He had asked to see me. Newt actually wanted to be with me.

"Thanks, you don't have to stay. Probably don't wanna be 'round some guy throwing up." Newt spoke louder than he had before, as though the sick had cleaned his vocals out.
"I want to say." I admitted.

"Find anything out there today?" He asked
"What do you think. Absolutely bugger all. Same as always." I moaned.
"I thought as much."He mumbled

We sat in comfortable silence for what must have been ten or so minutes. During this time he had sipped his water twice and the doors had shut. No one disturbed us- I suspected Alby had something to do with that.

He then did something I never would have expected, he reached out and took my hand, squeezing it a few times, I held his back. I let my head fall onto his shoulder and he let his fall onto my head gently. "I'm sorry I was so protective. I just didn't want to loose you, love."
"It's okay, I don't particularly want to loose myself either."
He chuckled at this before jolting again, I readied the bucket for him. He did what he needed to do and I held his hand the whole way through, never once letting go. I knew he was only sick but it felt like so much more, I never knew you could feel so much pain when someone else was experiencing it. That was love. And we had it.
