Mino POV
I was in the map room with Thomas early in the morning about 2 weeks after Bruce had been banished. We decided to check all the maps and see if one of the old runners saw something we didn't. On one map there was a cliff, and I'd never seen it before. The map had been drawn by Ben, but he was infected and banished even before y/n was sent up. How could we have missed this? "Thomas we have to check this out," I was super excited, this could be the break we needed. As we headed out I saw Newt sneak out of the homestead, Thomas was too far ahead to see him. I wonder what he was up to, I'll have to ask him later. I turn to face the walls that have just opened up with the map in hand we set off.

Newt POV
I missed y/n, so I decided to sneak to her hut to surprise her. Hopefully, I don't scare her, I would hate to be punched in the face. I softly knocked on the door, and I heard shuffling and a growl. If I didn't know any better I would think that y/n had been eaten by a wolf and now the wolf was standing in her place. I chuckled at my little joke, but then she opened the door and said "oh hey Newt, I didn't know it was you," she yawned, "you wanna come in?" She asked, opening the door more. "That's the whole reason I came, I missed you," I felt my cheeks warm up and I laughed nervously. She giggled, "aww Newt, you're super cute when you're nervous," she motioned for me to come to sit on her bed, and no we weren't going to cough cough. I sat down and she leaned against me and the next thing I knew I woke up to laughter and cheering.

y/n POV
Newt is so comfortable to sleep on. All of a sudden though I hear laughter and cheering. Oh no, did I forget to lock my door again last night? Ugg, I don't want to open my eyes. I sit up to see Minho, Alby, Chuck, and Fry. Damn it, I forgot to lock my door again. I decided to play it cool "what's up guys?" I yawn while stretching. "How about the fact that you and Newt were sleeping in the same bed, other than that not much," laughs Fry. Minho just yells "get some," Chuck just stands there smiling and Alby says with a completely unfazed face "finally, took you two long enough." Newt just stammers "we were gonna tell you guys we just wanted to test thin- wait, you guys are okay with this?" They all just nod, I just break down laughing, they all look at me like I'm insane but end up joining in. Alby clears his throat "okay you two time to get up and get to work." Newt came here dressed so I pushed everyone out and quickly got changed. When I came out Fry was waiting for me, "so you and Newt?" He asked. I just shrugged "I guess so." Fry chuckled and said, "tell me everything." That's what I did, the entire time Fry just looked like he was eating it all up.

Minho POV
I was walking with Newt to the homestead because I told Ably to call a meeting. After all, Thomas and I think we found a way out. When Newt looks at me and asks "how did you know that I was with y/n?" "You need to learn how to sneak out better, I saw you when we left for the maze, so when I came back I checked your room and you weren't there. So I checked the only other place I thought you might be and I was right. Congrats, by the way, you've had a thing for her for a while now." He looked at me in disbelief. "Dude, it was so obvious that you liked her," I laughed and his face turned red. We all had sat down by the time Fry walked in and he just smirked as he looked at Newt. Alby welcomed Thomas and me up, Thomas was just there because he helped but I spoke since I was the Keeper of the runners. I cleared my throat ready for anything. "I think we have a way out of the maze."
