Newt x Reader - The Greenie

9. Oops

We made it to Wednesday with nothing eventful happening. Newt and I just continued our friendship as normal despite the teasing we got from everyone else. Classes continued as normal and it was boring.
I'm sitting in my room with Teresa listening to her talk about Thomas.
"I really like him." She says.
"I got that about 30 minutes ago." I tell her.
"Have I really been talking about him that long?" She asks.
I just nod.
"I'm so sorry." She laughs.
Knock knock.
"I'll get it." Teresa says before she hops up and gets the door.
Standing there is Newt and he looks in the room.
"Mind if I borrow (Y/N) for a little while?" He asks her.
"(Y/N), your boyfriend is here to take you on a date! Teresa yells.
"He's not my boyfriend." I say while turning red.
"What's up?" I ask him.
I step outside with him and closing the door behind me.
"You up for an adventure?" He asks me.
"When am I not?" I ask him.
"Good point. Let's go." He grabs my hand and we walk together.
He doesn't tell me where we're headed off to.
"Here we are." He says.
"The book room?" I ask him.
"Trust me on this one. You up for a sleepover?" He asks.
"Of course." I tell him.
He opens the door and turns on his flashlight.
It's 12:00 in the morning but neither of us seem to care.
He leads me to the corner where he has a few pillows and blankets laying on the floor. I then notice there are also a few books.
He lays down and motions for me o lay down next to him, so I do. I set my head on his chest and he picks up a book and starts reading. His voice is so smooth I feel myself drifting off to sleep.
He must think I'm asleep because I feel his lips press to my forehead before he sighs.
"I wish I could just ask you out or tell you how I feel about you."
That's the last thing I hear.

"Newt?" I ask.
My eyes slowly open and I see him next to me and I remember last night.
"Hey." He whispers.
I smile at him.
"I had the weirdest dream last night." I tell him.
"What was it?" He asks.
"You kissed me on the forehead and told me that you wished you could tell me you like me." I say.
"Huh. That is weird." He says while turning red.
"It felt so real though." I tell him.
"Sometimes dreams seem really real." He tells me getting even more red.
"Newt, what time is it?" I ask him.
"Don't worry. We have today off remember?" He asks.
"I forgot." I admit.
"It's fine. Do you wanna go back to sleep? The book room is closed today." He tells me.
"Yes please." I tell him.
I set my head back on his shoulder and he plays with my hair while I fall asleep.

"Newt, you said borrow not kidnap!" I hear someone yell.
"What's going on with you two?" Minho asks.
I pretend to be asleep so I can hear everything they say.
"I like her okay? And I've had to play the friend roll and it sucks. But I really really like her." I hear Newt say.
"She likes you too. She told me the night she got here." Teresa says.
She really told him.
"Stop getting my hopes up. It's useless. Why would a girl like her like a guy with a limp like me?" Newt asks.
"Dude, she's head over heels for you. Don't you remember the first day you were here?" Thomas asks.
"She broke anther girl's nose for you." Alby says.
"Hey." I say sitting up.
Everyone turns to look at me with a shocked expression.
"How much did you hear?" Newt asks.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
I rub my eyes to make it seem like I was sleeping.
Alby whispers something into Newt's ear. I read his lips.
"Tell her."
That's exactly what he said.
Newt picks me up bridal style and we go to breakfast.
Everyone's quiet.
"Okay, what's up with you shanks?" I ask.
"What do you mean?" Alby asks.
"You guys are never this quiet. What's up?" I ask.
"I don't know. Just tired." Newt says.
"Alright. I suppose I am too. You kept me up last night." I say giggling.
"Sorry." Newt says.
"No. Don't be. That's the most fun I've had since I got here. Honestly. We should have more library sleepovers Newt." I tell him.
"We should." He says.
"Maybe for one we can all join." Minho says.
"It's kinda just Newt and I's thing." I say blushing.
"Cause you like him." Minho says.
"Shut up Minho." I say.
"It's true. We all se the way you look at each other." Minho continues.
"I said shut up." I say.
"What? You're blushing. We all know you two are totally in love with each other. Just admit it!" Minho says.
"Dude she told you stop. Enough is enough Minho." Newt yells as I run out of the dining hall.
I can't believe he did that. That was super shallow of him.
Of course I loved him, but they didn't need to tell him like that. I just wish I was back in the library with Newt. In that moment, the world melted away. It was just us. No issues and no distractions.
I hear footsteps coming up behind me and an arm wrap around me where I sit.
I know it's Newt so I lean into his touch.
"Movie night is tonight." Newt says, finally breaking our silence.
"Are you going?" I ask him.
"Only if you are. And we don't have to sit by Minho." He tells me.
"Thanks, I'd like that." I say.
"I brought you lunch. We slept through breakfast earlier." He says.
"Thanks." I say. I eat the sandwich he hands me, and he eats his.
"When does the movie start?" I ask.
"After dinner at seven." He responds.

"I'm so excited!" I yell before hopping on Newt's back.
He had offered me a piggyback ride from dinner to the dining hall to the movie room and I gladly accepted.
Newt had helped me avoid everyone else today. He knew I was still upset with Minho and knew we needed to just have some time without him.
"I am too." He says as he hops slightly to get my higher up on his back, so he doesn't drop me.
We had just gotten our pajamas on for this and grabbed a pillow.
Tonight they were playing 'Wizard of Oz.'
We make it to the room and grab a couch to lay on and we set the pillow at one end and he lays down.
I lay down in front of him and he wraps an arm around me pulling my back into his chest.
"Are you comfortable love?" He asks.
"Yeah. This is nice." I tell him.
The movie starts and I feel like we're on a date. And I know we aren't. And I find myself wishing we weren't just friends.
"Somewhere over the rainbow." I hear Newt sing but still whisper, his lips dangerously close to my ear. "Way up high."
I decide to turn so I face him and join in.
"And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby." We whisper together.
The song ends and we both lay there looking into one another's eyes.
Then I go for it.
I kiss him.
Just a quick peck on the lips.
And I regret it instantly.
