The Maze runner: One Shots

Newt | Sickness

Newt p.o.v.

"Minho, have you seen Y/N already?" I asked worried as I walked up to Minho who was stuffing his face with breakfast. He looks up at me, one eyebrow raised, and then looked around the glade before shaking his head.

"No, why?" He mumbled with his mouth full. 

"Where is Y/N? I need to ask them something about the med-jacks," Alby walked towards Minho's table and looked at me for an answer. We shrug, making his frown. "You don't know where Y/N is?" He asked me and I nodded, still worried. "You're their boyfriend, why don't you know where they are?" 

"Because you didn't allow me to sleep with them in the same room," I argued with my hands on my hips. Then it hit me. It looked like Alby realized it too because he opened his mouth surprised. "Their room," I exclaimed slowly and I turned around to walk to their room behind the council hall before being stopped by Alby.

"You can't just walk in there! What if they're changing?" Alby said, slightly worried and awkward. I rolled my eyes and walked past him but Alby stopped me again.

"Newt has already seen them like that, Alby," Minho grinned as he came up to us and he hit him on the back of his head, trying not to smile at his comment. 

"He is right though," I smiled and walked past Alby again while I heard him scold beneath his breath. I remember that time with Y/N like it was yesterday and I will treasure that night for the rest of my shucking life here. We almost got busted by Chuck but luckily he thought I was taking care of Y/N because "they fell and hurt themself". 

I continue walking to Y/N little hut and Minho and Alby follow me. When I'm at the door I knock on it and call their name. 

"Y/N? Are you there?" I hear her bed creak which means they're still in bed. "Y/N, can I come in?"

"Yes," I hear them say softly. Their voice sounds raspy and soft. 

"Can you unlock the door then, love?" I asked. When the builders made the hut I insisted that there should be a lock on the door so they could have the privacy they desire. Y/N has always been shy around too many people.

"The door is unlocked," They reply and I frown before pushing the door slowly open. Why is their door unlocked? I enter her room and Alby and Minho do the same. Because it's quite dark in the room I can't see their face, only their silhouette, laying in bed.

"Why didn't you lock the door?" I asked when I come closer and they groaned, turning around on their other side, I think, now facing me.

"Because I didn't feel like it," They answer softly. Why does their voice sound so weird? 

"Love, are you okay?" At that exact moment, Minho opened the curtains in front of their little 'window' and the light of the sun shined onto Y/N's face. Their face is pale and the dark circles under their eyes seem to be more present than normal. 

"Wow, Y/N, you look like klunk," Minho commented, earning a smack on his head from Alby.

"Love," I mumble and I place myself down at the edge of their bed. I touch their forehead with the back of my hand and it feels like it's on fire. I glance over at Alby and shake my head. I look back at Y/N and see that they closed their eyes. "Love, you can't fall asleep now, okay? You're sick and we're going to give you a medicine, okay?" I whisper to them as I stroke their hair. They opened their eyes and smiled weakly at me.

"But I'm tired," They pout, knowing I can't resist that.

"You can sleep after you've had your medicine," I say quickly and they nod out of understanding. I turn around, directing at Minho. "Can you please get some sort of medicine from the med-jack hut?" He nods and walks out of the door leaving me and Alby with a sick Y/N.

A few minutes later, Minho arrives back at Y/N's hut, panting heavily and resting on his knees.

"Why is their hut so far from the med-jack hut?" He gasps and I see Alby raising an eyebrow.

"As a runner, you should be in a good shape, you know?" He comments casually and Minho shoots him a sarcastic look. 

"Jeff and Clint are coming our way with a bag full of medicines since they have no idea what's wrong with Y/N," My heart stops for a second. They don't know what's wrong with them? What if they can't cure them? Or if they give them the wrong medicine? 

"No, you just suck at explaining the symptoms," Jeff says as he walks into the shack, carrying a big bag, presumably, filled with medicines and Clint helping him. They drop the bag next to Y/N's bed and Alby places his hand on my shoulder. I look at him and see that he wants me to make space for Jeff and Clint. I don't want to leave their side now. 

"We'll leave, give them the care they need and tell us when there are updates," Alby ordered Jeff and Clint and they nod out of understanding. I get up after I place a kiss on Y/N's forehead and leave their shack. As I leave I see them sending me a reassuring smile. I smile back and then Clint has closed the door.

The news of Y/N being sick spread out in the glade as a running fire. Every ten minutes or so, someone comes up to me to ask if they're okay. It's good that the whole glade cares about them but I'm getting kinda annoyed when everyone keeps asking. I haven't heard any news from Jeff and Clint too. They've been in Y/N's hut for almost one and a half hours and it's getting on my nerves. 

"Hey, Newt, I heard Y/N is si-," I don't let him finish his sentence of concern

"Yes, they're sick and no, I don't what's wrong with them," I snapped in his face.

"Newt-," Zart tried to calm me down but it only made me angrier. I turned around to face Zart and he immediately quailed when he saw my face. I clenched my fists, trying not to hit someone but anger took over me. "Newt, you seriously need to calm down," Zart tried again but that send me over the edge and I slammed my fist in his face. Zart fell on the ground with a bloody nose. 

"Newt, what the hell?" I heard Alby yell at me but I kept looking at my fist which has a little bit of blood on it. The only thing I could think about is Y/N and their well-being. 

I hadn't realized that Alby ordered Gally to put me in the slammer and that Gally did exactly as was told. I only snapped back into reality when my back hit the wall of the slammer. Gally didn't push me, I was just so deep in my trance that I couldn't even stand on two feet without falling.

"I'm sorry, shank," Gally muttered with a compassionate look and then he walked away, leaving me here all alone in the slammer, thinking about Y/N.

I was woken up by a soft whispering coming from the entrance of the slammer. As soon as my eyes got used to the darkness I can distinguish a shadow crouched in front of the wooden gate. 

"Newt?" I heard the shadow say, recognizing it as Y/N. I quickly stood up, as far as I could in this small prison, and I made my way to Y/N. 

"Y/N, are you okay? Wha-what are you doing here?" I stuttered as my hand covered theirs on the cold bars. I heard their giggle at my reaction of seeing them and they shook their head.

"I'm fine, Newt, I just have to take it easy," They explain to me, trying to calm me down but I can't calm down now. I have this horrible feeling that they aren't fine. They can see right through me so they know I don't believe them. "Newt, really, I'm completely fine," They smile and I nod while biting anxiously my lip. They grin and kiss my hand. "Look at you, all beating up gladers for me," 

"I lost control," I reply with a raspy voice. "It took so long and literally the whole glade kept asking me about you and I just-," I pause for a second and look straight into their eyes. "I love you," A big smile dances around their lips and they hold up one hand where the keys of the slammer are in. My eyebrows shoot up as they start to unlock the gate. "You aren't going to tell me you stole those?" They jump into the slammer and wrap their arms around me.

"Fine, I borrowed them without permission," They grinned. "What were you saying?" Now they're just teasing me.

"Hmm, what if I just show you?" I suggest and the next moment my lips are on theirs and we give each other love for the next few minutes.
