Walking through the desert that they were calling the Scorch was killing my legs.
"We've been walking for hours," I gripe to Minho, who looks at me, out of breath from the distance we've walked yet still amused.
"Sorry, princess, we've still got a long ways to go." He says.
I stare at the two boys in front of us - Thomas and Newt were running ahead, while Minho was behind alongside me to make sure I didn't die in the walk. His words. We're silent before I speak up again. "What do you think is out there?" I ask softly.
"I've got no idea. But your boyfriend seems to think he's onto something," he says, smirking ad nodding towards Newt.
"Shut up," I say, rolling my eyes. "Plus, he has a name. You know, the one you never use?"
He grins cheekily at me. "I know. Just like pissing you off."
"Ugh, Minho, shut up."

After walking (and griping, not going to lie) for another hour and a half, we find another abandoned building and decide to set up camp for the night. The lopsided building provided shelter, but not much heat - but really, at this point everyone was so tired that nobody bothered complaining.
I sigh, sitting against one of the walls and leaning my head back, closing my eyes. The quiet chatter of the three other boys slowly died down, but right before I fell asleep, a hand covered my mouth. My eyes widen quickly, but I stay quiet when I see Newt standing above me. He nods towards a clearing in the building away from the other boys.
"Why do you hang out with him so much?" He hisses once we're out of earshot of the boys.
I furrow my eyebrows. "What?"
"Minho," he whispers pointedly. "Why not stay with your actual boyfriend?"
He scowls as I stay silent for a moment. "Minho," I start slowly, "is literally just a brother to me, Newt. Why would you even think that--"
"Because clearly it looks like you love him a lot more than you love me!" He finishes, and storms back to the area we were sleeping in.
I sigh, turning away and rubbing my face. Honestly... I stay there for a while, glancing out at the horizon. When I turn back around the corner, I glance at Newt, who was lying down on his back, staring up at the same stars that I was looking at just moments ago before closing his eyes with a deep sigh, placing his hands behind his head.
Stepping towards him quietly, I place one leg over his waist, sitting down so I was straddling him. He opens his eyes, looking at me with a mixture of emotions written in his eyes. "What?" He asks quietly, not shifting from his position.
"I love you," I begin.
"I know."
"And there isn't a single guy here that can compare to you." He begins to speak, but I cover his mouth. "No, let me finish." He nods behind my hand. "Not Thomas, not Minho. Neither of them are you." I rest my palms flat on his chest.
He pauses for a moment, holding his breath, before letting it out. "Don't be so close to him, then. Honestly, I look at the two of you and it looks like you're dating, not us." He says quietly.
I press my lips together. "We're a couple, though. Not me and Minho."
"Then walk with me tomorrow," He says, more of a question than a statement.
"Gladly," I murmur softly, and he pulls one of his hands away from behind his head, lacing our fingers. I bend down, pressing my lips to his softly. I feel him smile for the first time all day, and I pull back, grinning. "So you do remember how to smile," I say, brushing my free hand over his cheek.
He chuckles, before pulling away slightly. "Not here," he murmurs, kissing the corner of my mouth. "Don't need the guys to hear."
I nod, shifting slightly to lie down with my head against his chest. "Later though," I say, propping my chin up.
He looks down at me, before lying back down again. I feel it vibrate through his chest as he laughs quietly. "Yeah, love. Later."
