The Maze Runner Au - Tumblr Posts

(transcription in alt text) au idea ive been playing with for like a month that will prob never get more fleshed out, wherein thomas is a prince, brenda is his personal guard, newt is a pirate captain, and minho is his co-captain. teresa and thomas were meant to have an arranged marriage when janson, the general, betrays the king (that one guy in the fever code who runs rhe organization whos name i dont remember) and queen (ava paige), killing the king in the process and keeping ava prisoner in hopes of intel on thomas' whereabouts or something. newt's parents were killed on janson's orders and then after their time spent on the streets, sonya gets arrested but newt escapes, to which he falls in with a pirate crew. the captain would be alby and alby would die leaving newt as captain (i never actually thought about HOW he'd die, i just needed a reason for newt to both have a pirate ship and crew and also be the captain. probably would have some nalby to explain newt being co-captain as well). sonya, however, escapes prison before newt can break her out with his new crew, and then she finds her own pirate crew, which just-so-happens to be a lowkey rival crew to alby/newt's crew. thats all i have but unfortunately i dont have enough patience (or experience, tbh) to write an actual fic abt it or anything so i just microwave it in my mind over and over again

anyways tumblr seems like a place that would enjoy this happy face thumbs up

A Ruthless Game ( Part 2)

Movie: The Maze Runner Au

Characters: Newt x Reader

Warning: Smuttish

Written by: Lauren

Part 1 

i. Newt

Newt leaned his entire body against the cold hard wall beside him, resting his crossed arms against his chest as his eyes wandered around the room. From where he stood, he could feel the vibrations quivering within the walls and wooden floors which were caused by the loud music that were blasting through the speakers. Some trashy remix of a song that was being played on the speakers only made the Newt’s ears feel like their on the verge of their own death as he continued standing there, with a red plastic cup in his hand.

His posture was relaxed, laid back, as he just stood there, observing. Like how the small living room of Teresa’s house was crowded with all of the students from the same high school as him, ranging from the new freshmen to the almost graduating seniors. Or how, the blue lights that were controlled to spin around was probably bought at an old thrift store.

He observed with a slight amount of interest as everyone danced around in the small living room, jumping up and down while pumping their fists in the air to the rhythm of the music that was reverberating in the thick air. He watched the way the people around him seem to get lost in their own nirvana as they just stood there, dancing to the music while throwing their head back and forth. While some were busy jamming out to the music as if no one was there to watch them, others were busy grinding on each other with their hips and ways.

Newt was well aware that  many girls had their eyes on him and were trying their best to get his attention by dancing in front of him or even just trying to flirt, but tonight, Newt wasn’t interested. His mind was a little occupied with a certain girl he had an encounter with earlier on in the day at the hallway of the school.

  He couldn’t stop thinking about her ways and means, from the tone of her sassy voice which she threw at him to the way she seemed so flustered and disturbed when he had leaned over to whisper the words in her ear.  He was fascinated by her, and wanted to get more feeling out of her. She was different from other girls, one that he had never met before in his entire life.

 And Newt knew that despite his achievements of being the captain for the school’s winning Lacrosse team and being first in class, none of those will impress her unlike the other girls. Newt has been in the same class as her for years so he knew how she acts and thinks. But every time Newt thinks he truly knows her true self, there was more he would uncover like a buried treasure in the sea. There was endless mysteries from her and because of that, Newt never really knew the real end.  But he was determined to get his way there.

Newt pushed himself off the wall and pressed the cheap plastic cup against his lips, tipping back the remains of the dishwater like beer that was left in there. Newt used to scowl at the nasty taste that would be left behind in his mouth but after regular visits to parties, he no longer bothered about it anymore. It was something common, something usual that he would be seeing every weekend and with time, he grew used to it.

Once Newt was done emptying the remains of his drink, he refolded his arms that were placed against his chest and when he took a look around, his eyes landed on the features of a girl that were familiar. Too familiar. With only the sight of her from afar, it was like causing a nuclear explosion with just a single match stick. Newt felt his heart began to pound faster and as his eyes traveled down her body subconsciously, he couldn’t help his lip biting that immediately followed.

His mind was all of a sudden filled with fantasies of fucking her slow and romantically under the light of the starry night, or making love to her with the sound of her soft moans echoing within his room. The more he thought of it, the more it got harder to restrain his emotions that were running wild. However, once his eyes met hers and they weren’t the usual colour that he was in love with, he felt his entire self deflate like a balloon running out of air.

Because it wasn’t her, it wasn’t the girl his heart and mind was longing for. Instead, it was Lyssandra, the head of the cheer leading team who never failed to flirt with Newt every time she got the chance too.

At the sight of Newt staring at her, Lyssandra immediately broke into a flirtatious giggle that could be seen from far and he nearly rolled his eyes in annoyance when she started batting her eyelashes at him. Her biting her lip as a sign of her lust for Newt didn’t go unseen and usually, Newt wouldn’t have hesitated to go up to them and taunt them with that dirty brush of his but tonight he wasn’t feeling like it.

Newt merely gave Lyssandra one of his famous winks and a smirk before she was smirking back. But before, she could even have a chance to get up to him or even strike up a conversation, Newt was already leaving and making his way up the stairs.  And as he was on his way up, he couldn’t help but laugh to himself how the alcohol was already working on him.

But most of all, how ( Y/N) was already seeping through his veins and blood like a poisonous flower set in the valley of daisies, waiting to take effect on him.

As Newt made his way down Teresa’s hallway, passing by closed and locked doors, he couldn’t but follow the strange pulling electricity that was leading him towards the door at the very end of the room. The electricity that he felt was somewhat indescribable, and even if he was asked to describe it, the words he would be using wouldn’t even come close to how it actually felt like. The feeling was thick and hot, like live electricity was floating within it.

It was a strong pulling sensation, edging him to come closer to the danger that laid in the room. Although his mind was telling him not to go any closer, his heart was taking over his own actions no matter how hard he tried to go against it. The door was like a magnet, pulling him closer and closer to whatever danger laid in there. And deep down, Newt knew, that none of it was related to the amount of alcohol he had drunk.

Newt braced his fingers against the cool metal door knob and he didn’t hesitate twisting it, then pushing it open. And as his eyes met with the sight of what was before him, Newt finally understood why he was pulled towards the room. As before him, there she was, laid on the bed with a book in her hand, her hair that was let loose resting against her shoulders. And this time, it was truly for real as he beheld her. 

Newt couldn’t help his emotions that were already starting to run wild as he took in how she looked sprawled out on the bed. From her outfit which consisted of a pretty grey floral sweater and a black skater skirt to the her movements which in this case, was her biting her lip as she continued reading on in concentration. She looked like a goddess, an angel as she laid there and Newt couldn’t help the immediate feeling of heart stopping awe.

“ If you’re gonna continue standing there and watching me read, I highly suggest you close that door before the loud music from downstairs gets in and interrupts my reading time. And I especially hate it when my reading time is distracted. ”

ii. Reader.

I immediately lost my interest in  the book I was reading once I saw Newt entering the room from the corner of my eye, and I knew right there and then that my peaceful reading time was over. Everything of mine even my life was in a chaotic mess every time he was around or even close to me, so it was easy to predict the outcome of my reading schedule. Despite not focusing anymore, I continued on looking forward towards the page of the book I was stuck at.

I waited for a sarcastic remark or a cocky comment to follow through from that British mouth of his, but nothing except tense silence. Intrigued, I turned dropped the book that was in my hands and instead, placed my head on top of my hand, turning to look in his direction. His brown bambi eyes met mine and planted clearly on his face was his usual arrogant cocky smirk that he would usually wear after a game he had won.

I cocked my head to the side and raised my eyebrows, a silent gesture of a question. Newt only smirked wider and made himself even comfortable against the white wooden door with his arms crossed tightly against his chest.

“ May I ask why ever are you standing there just watching me and not downstairs, where you should supposedly be?” I asked, my voice strong and clear despite not having drink any sip of water for the last few hours.

Newt just shrugged his shoulders at the answer, “ It gets boring once you’re downstairs every time with the same people you recognize. I needed a change from the usual loud noisy environment to something like this,” Newt pushed himself off the wall and made his way around the room, trailing his fingers over objects. “ Quiet, peaceful and a place where you can just loose yourself to.”

I raised my eyebrows up in disbelief as I watched Newt wander around the room, taking in the fine details of what it had to offer. From the heavily cream coloured walls that were surrounding the room to the small little fairy lights that were hung around the open window, it provided the room with an escape that you can go through easily by just simply spending a few minutes in there. The bookshelves that were placed neatly in rows were filled with multiple books ranging from the old rare classics to the newest young adult book you could find in the store, giving the room a sense of classiness from the stack of wisdom it held.

With multiple fluffy rugs placed on the plain floor, it only made the room even more cozier than it already was with the huge bath and body works candles that burned from the small night table. The strong scent of pumpkin spice latte’s swirled within the thick air of the room as the flames that burned brightly at the ends of the wick slowly crept down, destroying the piece of string that was in sight. With the multiple pillows that were stationed on the bed, it was fluffy heaven as I laid there comfortably. If it wasn’t for the amount of coffees I had in the evening, I would probably have found myself deep in sleep on that bed instead of staying up and reading. But things don’t always go the way you plan sometimes, that was life.

“ You don’t seem to be the type of guy who would prefer an environment like this. Besides, of all rooms that were available to you, you choose the one that I was in and still continue to hang around even though you know I have a certain amount of dislike towards you? ” I rolled over to my side as Newt walked over to the other side of the room, watching him with narrowed eyes as he picked up the photo frame with Teresa and I in it. Amusement flooded his face like warm honey as he placed it back down and turned to face me, his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

“ Yes, yes I did even despite everything. ”

I scowl inwardly to myself when I realise that my choice of words had backfired at my face then immediately thought of one to cover up the burn mark it left. “ So even though you know that I have a strong feeling of  hate against you, you still insist on staying here with me? Funny how your stupidity is getting in the way of your so called bravery or arrogance.” I smiled sweetly at Newt once I saw insult flash across his face  but stopped, once it was waved off almost as if it never existed at all.

Newt paused right in front of the dressing table that was placed directly across the bed and leaned his body against it. He cocked his head to the side and shrugged his shoulders once more, mustering a frown. “  You may call it stupidity but to me, its simply called trying to solve a bitter relationship between the both of us. At times, even your closest friends may turn into your most hated enemies and your most hated enemies may turn into your most closest friends. Life is full of surprises and here I am, trying to make up my own surprise. Pretty unexpected don’t you think, when the girl I am trying to be friends with is cold- hearted and mean?”

The bedsheets that were laid beneath me was immediately bundled up when I felt myself clench my fists in anger at Newt’s words. How fucking dare he question me ways?

“ Then how about you Newt, did you perhaps run out of girls to fuck with or lost interested in all of them? Are you searching for someone else to open up their legs wide for you cause if you are, I am afraid you have come to the wrong place. Want me to recommend you someone else cause I’ pretty sure I’ll be able to hook you up with someone if you want to? ”

Newt stills for a moment at the sound of my words, shock immediately flowing his face as he took in what I said. Then, a strange look that I had never seen before replaces the shock on his face and for once, his expressions are unreadable. Newt furrows his eyebrows. “ You think you know who I am and what I do but you don’t. So don’t try to act like a smart bitch about it cause you’re not when it comes to this.”

With the hands that were by his side clenched into fists, Newt turns around to leaves but I was up before he could even have his hand on the doorknob. I stood in front of him, blocking his way to the door, before crossing my arms against my chest and plastering the most bitchiest face that I had in my mind.

“ But you  don’t deny it, don’t you? You’re just like what every says and the rumors that are being discussed everyday. You’re just like every other player in the lacrosse team who thinks their so great just because they can wave a freaking stick around except that you’re even big headed than the others are. But you know  what, you’re not. You’re just like what everyone says, you fuck a girl because you think shes hot and stuff then leave her the next day after everything. You’re no different from the other jerks and I honestly don’t get why all the girls in our school are craving for you.” I hissed back at Newt, my venom now clear in my voice.

Newt’s eyes burned with bright anger once he regarded the words that had escaped from me and even though I wanted to stop, I couldn’t. It was like a bottle that was filled with so many emotions over the past few years was finally overflowing and I couldn’t find the bottle cap to stop it. Once I started, I couldn’t stop because it was both a relief and satisfying moment to truly express the feelings I felt.

“ Shut up, (Y/N).”

I took one step forward while jabbing him in the shoulder, hard, making sure he understood the point that I was making.

“ Tell me Newt, how does it feel to have all of the girls bowing down at your feet, legs open wide for you huh? Or how about the feelings of when you get to make a particular girl scream and moan loudly from thrusting her so hard? Or how about the thoughts that go through your head when you finally leave her in the morning, making her a one night stand.” I pushed my hands against his shoulders, hoping to shove him but it did nothing other than move him a step back. I could feel my heart starting to pound against my chest harder and faster but at the moment, I didn’t care. I was furious, beyond raging as I stood there, fuming.

Newt’s brown bambi eyes glared right back at mine and he took a step forward, causing our faces to be only inches apart. My breathing was already erratic as my shoulders moved up and down, taking in all the air I needed to calm myself. But nothing was working, it was like a tide of emotions was crashing over me and there was no end.

“ Then what about you (Y/N), like you’re any different. You act all cold hearted and be a mean bitch towards those who didn’t even do anything wrong to you. You think you’re so perfect when all you can do is just instruct people to do things and get a perfect grade on your paper. You think you’re some kind of burst of sunlight in this school but guess what, love, you’re not.” Newt whisper-yelled, towering over me and getting right up close to  my face. I scowled hard at his words and pushed him away from me. What a fucking bastard this guy was. How dare he say those things to me when he didn’t even know the reasons behind it?

“ Well, at least I don’t make girls my one night stand and give them false hope unlike you.” I took a step forward while Newt took one too, and both of our faces inched closer again. And all of sudden, the thick air around us that was filled up with pent up frustration and anger seemed to begin shifting into something even thicker and hotter. Without even realizing, my eyes drifted down to Newt’s cherry red lips and I couldn’t help the strange feeling of wanting to press mine against his. Shaking my head, I redirected my focus to my anger and kept my steady gaze firm with Newts.

“ Shut up, ( Y/N).” There was a certain dangerous edge to Newt’s tone and at the sound of it, I couldn’t help but provoke it even more. I crossed my arms tighter against my chest and pushed my head higher, glaring.

“ Make me. ” And once those words were said, it was like a unexpected chemical reaction that exploded almost immediately causing a nuclear explosion.

Newt’s hand cupped my face harshly without any hesitation and pulled my lips towards his, crashing both our lips together. He gently pushed me back with the amount of force he had left in him till my back met the wall. My fingers that were stationed by my side were immediately being run through his fluffy dirty blonde hair as both our lips continued moving against each other, as if both were fighting for dominance.

I felt Newt’s hands gently move down from my face to my arse, and I couldn’t help the soft moan that escaped my mouth as he gave me a soft but hard squeeze. Newt was kissing me, the boy I hated most in high school with all of my life was kissing me, and it was fucking amazing. Wonderful and breathing taking even.  A part of my mind was telling me to stop all of this at once and to walk away but my heart and body were saying different. Both were demanding the same thing which was more, more of what Newt was offering me and nowhere was I guilty about feeling that way.

Our lips continued to mould together like they were dancing in sync and both of us couldn’t stop our lingering hands, as we roamed our fingers around each others body, exploring. As we continued kissing, I couldn’t help but feel even more turned on by the feeling of mini fireworks going off within me as our kiss continued passionately. There was this strange spark like feeling that was surrounding us and our bodies which turned into electricity almost immediately once it reached our skin, no words able to describe the feeling that it gave.

It was new, it was strange, and I couldn’t help but crave for it more the longer our bodies together. There was this burning fire of lust and heat within me, waiting to be extinguished the longer time stretched. And with every second that passed, I could feel myself getting wetter and wetter with the thoughts that were running across my mind.

Grinning, Newt gently bit down on my bottom lip that was already swollen from the intense kissing and I couldn’t help but arch my back in pleasure when I felt Newt drag it down with his teeth. I closed my eyes with the satisfying feeling of pleasure that exploded within my body like fireworks and I heard Newt chuckle at my reaction.

Yanking Newt’s fluffy hair gently, I reattached my lips against his and this time, it didn’t take long for both of our tongues to meet together. They met in the center of our mouths and began stroking each other gently like they both were dancing in sync as we continued. I could feel myself becoming out of breath the longer we kissed or snogged but at the moment, oxygen wasn’t the most important thing on my list right now even though it helped me survived.

My mind was a blank space, a place where all of my words and sentences were forgotten, and the only thing left was the thought of Newt and how much I wanted him and the emotions I was feeling. I wanted him so bad, to feel his hands roam all over my body slowly and thoroughly, to have him feed me with all the pleasure that he had to offer but somewhere in my mind, I remembered that there was still war going on between the both of us.

As Newt pulled his lips away and started to attach them to the sweet spot of my neck, I hesitantly pulled away and leaned my forehead against his, struggling to catch my breath. I breathed in and out at first before opening my eyes with a huge smirk planted on my face. Newt’s eyes met mine and the smirk I had planted on my face was immediately larger.

“ No matter how much I want you right now, I do suppose there’s a slight war going on between the both of us.” I grinned when I saw sexual frustration invade Newt’s face before pulling away, with a sly smile on my face. I bent down and cupped Newt’s face gently in my hands, leaving only centimeters between our lips.

“ I don’t know what just happened Newt, but I am pretty sure from this, I can conclude that I have feelings for you. But I’m not gonna make it easy for you, you know that. Not when you’re in my way to victory. Consider this a near check mate from me and maybe next time, you’ll get even closer to your main goal hm?” I pulled my face away from Newt after pressing a brief kiss against his lips, before standing up to leave. I could feel Newt’s eyes on me as I swayed my hips from left to right seductively while making my way out of the room.

“ This isn’t over, (Y/N). I’ll get you to be mine, mark my words.” I could hear the slyness and mischief in Newt’s tone and as I turned around, my eyes met his that were sparkling with determination.

I shook my head, my messy hair swaying gently and smiled a sly smile at him, noting how his lips parted at the sight of it.

“ And I’ll gladly be yours, if you manage to complete this ruthless game we’re playing between each other. Remember, in a game of two, there can one winner, and Newt, I don’t plan on losing either. ”
