TMR - Newt x Reader

Finally. Finally, finally, finally! I have made it. After so many years of broken promises and shattered dreams, I finally saw it; Paradise. it was a promise for a better life and a happier tomorrow. I entered it with Newt, your husband, and surrounded by your friends.

Having spent the past two years of my life entrapped in a maze makes it seem like marriage was impossible. But on the contrary. myself and Newt 'got married' after being together a year. He used broken twigs and twine and created to wedding bands. He still takes mine and finds small flowers to put into it, which I love. And the 'officiator' was Alby and my 'maid of honor' was Gally, who wanted to smack me for calling him such but smiled with happiness as he watched me kiss Newt.

In reality, the 'wedding' wasn't a wedding. it was a promise and the ceremony was more for happiness and for everyone in the Glade to be happy. Yes, I still claimed him as my husband and he claimed me as his wife, but we both knew it wasn't exactly a true statement. But every day he would tell me that if he could he would sign a paper and promise his life away if it meant he got to marry me and truly be "bound". But we were both contents. I loved the small band resting on your finger made of twine and twigs. Newt's own band was made of small rocks and string, bits of thin metal also wound into it. It was our promise to one another, and that's all that mattered.

As I entered paradise, I came to a city full of people, all doing their own jobs and their own activities, all just working together to make a functioning system. It was basically the Glade.. except free. When we all came in, we were all quickly pulled off - I was taken with some of the other girls while the boys were whisked away from other places. 

I was all given clothes, food, and a nice place to shower and scrub yourselves clean. It was nice. It was relaxing. It was promising, I thought.

As all these things proceeded, even your group with the girls dispersed, Brenda was whisked off by someone else who was showing her the "most amazing blade I have ever seen, you will have to show me how you carved a handle so smoothly like that", and Sonya was shown where to shower next, and everyone was essentially taken to their own spots within the small, open room where the girls introduced themselves.

"So... what was it like?" one girl asked, long, thick red hair and bright blue eyes adorned her tanned skin. She was beautiful, fit, and seemed to have wild blood coursing through her. While raising my eyebrows, I tilted my head in response to her. What was what like, you wondered, already feeling like an outsider. "What was it like living with only a group of boys? I bet it got tiring, I mean sure, it was also pretty funny at times being the only girl, but like... so many guys, uh..." another girl piped up, her face becoming a grimace as she shuttered towards the end, the others around me bursting into laughter.

It was true, it was hard being around boys. They didn't understand privacy all that well, none of them had seemed to ever know that I could simply sew up a hole in a shirt instead of ripping it apart and throwing it away, they seemed to forget their clothes everywhere and even forgot to wear clothes half the time. It was honestly tiring at times and I sometimes wanted to strangle a few of them, but I love those boys. They were your brothers, sons, best friends - everything. you would have killed to save them all... I would have done anything to protect them.

With a shake of the head and a smile, I looked back at the girls, laughing at the girl with the two long brown braids in her hair who was still grimacing at the thought. 

"it was... odd. I mean, none of them knew what the hell a bra was until I did everything but give a demonstration. Asking for tampons as like asking if I could keep a Griever as a shucking pet. It was so exhausting, but... I loved it. They were nice and I adored them, some more than others," I muttered as an afterthought, and the girls grinned.
