So I wasn't aware of the ship minewt and I have no hate towards it, I actually find it pretty cute.

Thomas and Minho found themselves hiding behind bushes watching as Newt and Derek spoke to each other about supplies the med-jacks needed. Derek seemed to watch Newt closely when he spoke and the look in his eyes indicated he really didn't want to talk about supplies. Newt would sometimes also give him sort of a warning look but continue the conversation as if nothing happened.

"So what's your plan, love Doctor?" Minho whispered still watching Newt and Derek.

"Get them closer..." Thomas trailed off the wheels turning in his head.

"And by close you mean?" Minho raised an eyebrow looking back at Thomas.

"Let's lock them in one of the sheds together." Thomas suggested and Minho thought the idea over.

"If that doesn't work?" Minho steadied his crouch.

"Then plan B." Thomas sighed.

"What's plan B?"

"You'll see." Thomas shrugged and started to crawl away from the bush Minho following his lead.

Minho rolled his eyes at Thomas' response they both stood up Newt and Derek still oblivious of Thomas and Minho's presence. Thomas grabbed Minho's hand and they both ran towards the med-Jack's shed not caring about the looks they were getting from the other boys especially Gally and his goons. Scott looked up from what he was doing as Minho and Thomas charged in out of breath hand in hand, he raised an eyebrow at both of them but said nothing.

"I have an idea." Thomas spoke winded.

Derek sighed fixing the first aid kit Scott had dropped on his way out, it was obviously by accident but still annoyed the crap out of Derek. He grumbled some stuffing the bandages back in place. There was a knock on the door and he looked up to see Thomas smiling sheepishly at him.

"What's up,greenie?" Derek shut the first aid box.

"Hey my friend Chuck cut himself real bad could you help me?" Thomas gave him pleading eyes, "he's only like twelve or thirteen."

"Okay take me to him." Derek agreed grabbing the first aid kit he had been fixing minutes early.

Thomas nodded and started guiding him towards Chuck. Little did Derek know was that Thomas was actually taking him to the shed Newt was locked in, Thomas bit back an excited grin before rounding a corner where the shed stood. Derek followed closely behind as Thomas opened the door for him to step in, Derek walked in first and Thomas shut the door behind Derek, Minho locking it with a large branch he found in the woods not too long ago.

"Hey!" Derek started pounding on the door dropping the first aid kit once again.

"Its no use." Newt sighed causing Derek to jump.

"What the hell!" Derek yelled startled.

"Chill it's just me." Newt clutched his arm forcing Derek to look him in the eye even though the shed was pitch black.

"Why are we in here?" Derek murmured.

"I think someone is trying to get us back together." Newt said that loudly so that Thomas and Minho could hear him.

Derek started to connect the dots and cursed under his breath with a heavy sigh. Newt noticed he was still clutching onto Derek and he let go his cheeks tinting pink. Derek didn't even try to move he liked how close they were. Newt let go of Derek and moved to the other side of the shed hugging his body. Derek slid to the floor sitting directly in front of the door.

"When do you think they'll let us out?" Derek ran his fingers through his hair.

"Not anytime soon." Newt sighed.

Derek sat besides Newt making him tense up a little, the only sound that could be heard was there steady breathing. Derek rested his head against the wall and shut his eyes. Newt took that as his moment to study Derek's features, he found his heart beat racing and his palms growing sweaty. He hadn't been alone in a room with Derek in maybe two years.

"you're staring." Derek muttered.

Newt jumped at the sound of his voice and quickly looked away a blush spreading onto his cheeks. He bit his lip knowing better to reply he didn't want to give Minho and Thomas the satisfaction. Derek reopened his eyes and sighed turning so that he was looking at Newt.

"I miss you." Derek murmured.

Newt felt stuck he missed Derek to in fact he sometimes made excuses just to talk to him he just didn't think Derek felt the same way. He held back a grin not wanting to get too excited.

"R-really?" Newt stuttered.

"Absolutely, I just thought..." Derek trailed off, " Uh-never mind."

"You thought what?" Newt scooted closer obviously intrigued by Derek.

"I just thought-"

Suddenly Minho busted into the shed's door out of breath. He looked panic and his cheeks were bright red, Newt automatically stood up knowing something wasn't quite right. Derek also stood up his eyebrows stitched together.

"Teresa's awake!"

"What?"

"And she just told us our way out of here."
