AN: This one is set in the Glade before Thomas shows up (and ruins everything lmao). It is inspired by the bonfire scene in the movie because I thought it was a really cute idea that they'd have a little bonfire party every month with the new kid (even though the new kid isn't relevant in this story but whatever...)

The gladers were all spread out surrounding the huge fire they had build outside of the Homestead, laughing and joking with each other as they relaxed under the clear, starry night sky. Earlier that day, the Box had come bearing their supplies for the week, but this time it had come with a few extra treats thrown in. Supplies for s'mores.

Newt and Minho sat next to each other, leaning against a log just outside of the ring of boys around the fire. Minho turned to look at Newt as the blonde boy took a bite from his own chocolate and marshmallow sandwich.

Minho stifled a laugh as he saw Newt pull the s'more away from his face to reveal a splodge of marshmallow adorably stuck to the tip of his nose. Newt looked up at Minho with a confused frown when he heard the small giggles escaping his runner friend, which Minho thought made him look even more adorable.

"What?" Newt asked through a mouthful of s'more, pieces of cracker spraying everywhere as he spoke. "What's so bloody funny?"

Minho shook his head, still giggling. "Let me get that for you, shuck-face"

Newt gave a surprised squeak when Minho leaned over and gently wiped at his nose until it was clear of the offending marshmallow.

Newt swallowed the rest of his s'more with a big gulp as his face heated up in a dark blush, refusing to look Minho in the eye.

"Uh… Th-thanks, I guess?" Newt stuttered out after a long pause, not knowing how else to react to the situation.

Minho smiled at Newt, his eyes shining with amusement. "Any time, buddy."
