The Maze Runner: One-Shots

Baby do you love me pt.2 (Newt)

*Requested that I do another one of these but where Newt is the one being asked*

The Gladers howled around you. No one won this game around Chuck.

Chuck stood from where he was crouched next to Minho. Minho scowled. Usually he was a pro at Baby Do You Love Me but against Chuck? No one won.

Minho sauntered up to you and you put on your brave face. You were so great at this game, but you weren't horrible either.

"Baby do you love me?" He asks with a pouty face on.

You put your hand on the side of his cheek. "Baby, I love you but I just can't smile."

A couple boys whooped at your success. Minho groaned and sat next to you.

He slid his hand down the side of your cheek and your mouth twitched. Don't smile, don't smile, don't smile.

"Baby do you-"

A victorious and traitorous smile broke through your reluctant mouth.

"Agh!" You yelled when you had to take Minhos place. He smirked as he took your previous spot in the circle. Sometimes you wondered why you even played this game.

You already knew who you'd pick. Newt. Actually you had kind of hoped you'd be picked so you could mess with Newt. You always found it fun to watch him squirm.

You knelt in from of him and his cheeks immediately went red. "Oh come on, you guys knew she'd pick me!"

All the boys around you snickered. Maybe Minho had been instructed to pick you so this would happen. It always had been the boys favorite part of bonfire night.

Newt looked you dead in the eyes and waited for his turn of embarrassment.

"Newt, baby, so you love me?" You put as much glimmer in your eyes as you could.

Newts cheeks went impossibly hotter. "I-I um..."

You can see his Adam's apple bob as he swallows hard. He chuckled and took a swig of his drink in a dark blue jar.

"Baby..." he trailed off and his gaze flickered from your eyes o the ground. "I l-love you and I can't smile."

You laughed. "You said it wrong."

"What?" He says shakily.

"You have to repeat it, you said it wrong." You watched his horrified eyes dart around the circle of agreeing Gladers.

"Oh come on, it was close enough, wasn't it? Don't make me do it again."

"Or you could just smile," you suggest.

You watch him closely and you're not sure if he actually considered it or not. He shook his head. "Fine I'll do it again."

He took a deep breath in and held it. "Baby I love you but I just can't smile."

You snicker as he lets it all out in one breath. He looks a little lightheaded afterwords, but still receives a round of applause from the guys.

You start again. "Newtie baby," you whisper and get close to his ear. You press your lips to his cheek and the boys erupt in yells around you. "Do you love me?"

"W-well I um..." Newt gulps and looks you in the eye.

His mouth breaks into a smile and he shakes his head. "Every single time, Y/N! You don't play fairly."

"Would the game be any fun if I did?" you ask innocently and take his spot as he stands.

"I guess we'll never know, will we love?"
