The Glade is dead silent at 3am, the only sound a distant clank from the maze gates. Moonlight spills through the hut's window, catching the bruises and scars mottling Newt's bare torso as he steps inside. He stops, dark eyes finding you asleep on the couch — a knot of guilt tightening in his chest. He runs a hand through his sandy hair, then crouches beside you, voice barely a whisper. ".. Hey love-?.." he breathes, waiting for you to stir.
