(The Maze Runner) Spending a Rainy Day With Him
(Author’s Note:  In my fics/imagines/headcanons, Gladers are aged up, and also movie version...)
Thomas: Heavy rain usually puts most of the Glade jobs on hold.  Everyone will find a tree or covered structure to sit under and wait until the rain stops.  Wherever you are, Thomas will come find you.  He gently takes your hand in his, brown eyes meeting yours in a silent request.  You know that look very well.  With a smile, you nod.  The both of you go back to his hammock and climb in together, tangled up in a somewhat crowded mess of limbs, but it’s cozy.  He likes having you close like this.  Likes hearing your heartbeat, watching you breathe, and listening to you hum a gentle tune. It helps put him at ease.  He’ll lay there with your head on his chest as it rises and falls, his hand running up and down your back soothingly while you both listen to the rain on the roof. Every now and then, he’ll give you a squeeze or bestow a forehead kiss.  It’ll be a quiet time, at least for a little while.  After sorting through thoughts, he might start a conversation if you haven’t already.  It might be about your jobs.  It could be about the strange dreams either of you were having.  Or it could just remain quiet for a little longer.
Newt: When he feels the first drops fall on his cheek, he glances up with brows furrowed and lips parted to see if any more follow.  Upon realizing it’s the beginning of a downpour, he tells the others to pack up the tools and get out of the rain.  He’s already wondering if you found shelter already or not.  He’ll be keeping an eye out for you as he walks to the nearest structure. It’s not like he thinks you’re in any danger or anything.  He just wants to be sure you’re alright.  He’ll be glad when you do find him, and a little smirk of amusement will grace his lips when he sees the state you’re in.  Your clothes are a little wet from the dash in the rain, body shivering from the chill, and skin glistening.  Newt will put an arm around you and draw you to his warm side, remaining like that as you both stand at the edge of the covered structure and gaze out at the rainy Glade.  The time will be filled with quiet conversation with your faces inches apart, intent on each other’s pleasant company while the others goof around or chat behind you.  He’s not super crazy about kissing in front of others, but he’ll glance over his shoulder to make sure no one’s paying attention before leaning in for a tender kiss.
Minho: He’s just about to head into the Maze when the downpour starts.  Shuck.  Nothing like a rainy day to dampen a run.  If he gets caught in the rain while already in the Maze, it’s one thing.  But if it hits before he leaves, then he’ll just take the day off.  If he’s entirely honest, he doesn’t mind the break.  He heads back, removes his gear, and decides to pay you a surprise visit.  Runners are often up before most of the other Gladers, so it’s not surprising that you’re still in your hammock fast asleep.  Minho will greet you softly with a playful chirp in his tone, calling you by his own term of endearment.  When your eyes flutter open and you say his name in confusion, his heart just about leaps out of his chest.  He’ll tell you that it’s raining so he has the day off, and to move over.  You sleepily move over as much as you can so he has room to climb in with you, wrapping his arms around you.  He’s an early bird, so he probably won’t fall back to sleep right away.  He’ll enjoy watching you drift back into dreamland once more with the sound of rain tapping on the roof, pressing a kiss to your cheek.
Gally: He is by no means a slacker, but he can’t defy the weather.  Being that the conditions aren’t the best for building, he’ll tell the other builders on his team to head inside.  He huffs a sigh of annoyance as he badly wants to finish this project.  The rain starts to wash away the sweat that glistened over his skin as he takes his time picking up tools and whatnot so they don’t get ruined.  Since he’s already soaked, he’ll go out of his way to find you wherever you took shelter.  He’ll ask around if any of those shanks taking shelter under the structure have seen where you went.  Someone will point, and finally, he’ll spot you making a dash across the Glade.  He’ll stand there with hands on his hips watching you approach.  You’re out of breath, but there’s a glimmer in your eye as you greet him.  His heart pounds and lips turn up in amusement as he wraps an arm around you for a brief hug, not wanting to make a scene in front of the other Gladers.  A midday snack is being passed around by Frypan, so the two of you sit shoulder-to-shoulder on a bench.  You’re talking with each other and your closest friends around you.  It was almost like a bonfire with jokes being made and laughter.  Gally cracks up at a silly comeback you made to Winston, and suddenly, the rain doesn’t feel like such an inconvenience to him anymore.

Listed fandom fun
A bit of random data before we jump into the rankings for listed fandoms …
Since the numbers post yesterday we've had signups for nearly 60 new auctions, bringing the current total to 779. That beats the number of signups for 2016/7, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and puts us withing spitting distance of our record last year of 819. Can we do it? Will we do it? Signal boost FTH posts and encourage others to participate. More money raised for good causes, more fanworks in the world — it's a win/win!
We posted yesterday about the state of our unlisted write-in fandoms (we've had nine new ones since then!). Time to check in with the rankings for the listed fandoms.
At the top of the pack we have:
87 K-Pop * 66 Good Omens 50 Sherlock Holmes * 44 Harry Potter * 37 Marvel * 32 DC * 31 Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed 27 Red, White, & Royal Blue 25 Star Wars * 23 Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Our first tie is for 11th place -
22 Avatar The Last Airbender 22 Teen Wolf
And after that, nearly every other place is a tie. And which ones are ties for which places can be shifted slightly with just one signup. Or completely upended with two. Where will your fandom land?
Remember that if your fandom isn't here (or in the rest of the list below the cut), you can write it in. Signups are OPEN through Monday!
19 Supernatural 18 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 Lone Star 18 Locked Tomb Trilogy 18 Stranger Things 17 All for the Game 16 Our Flag Means Death 16 Tolkien * 16 The Witcher 15 Boku no Hiro Akademia (My Hero Academia) 15 Original Work 15 Percy Jackson and the Olympians 14 Baldur's Gate 3 14 Hockey RPF 12 The Old Guard 12 Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing) 11 The Magnus Archives 11 Star Trek * 10 Check Please! 10 Dungeons & Dragons 10 Haikyuu!!! 10 Hazbin Hotel 10 Jujutsu Kaisen 9 A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon 9 One PIece 8 Doctor Who * 8 Hades (video game) 8 Heartstopper 8 James Bond 8 Kingsman 8 Merlin 8 Naruto 8 Suits 7 Dragon Age * 7 Justified 7 Raven Cycle 7 Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast 7 The Sandman 7 Shadowhunters 7 SK8 the Infinity 6 Captive Prince 6 Critical Role 6 Final Fantasy * 6 Fullmetal Alchemist 6 Hannibal 6 Kinnporsche 6 The Maze Runner 6 Queen's Thief 6 Stargate 6 Steven Universe 6 Top Gun Movies 6 Yuri!!!

🤍📖Asteroid Novalis (8052) and your preferred literature choices📖🤍
Tumblr media
Asteroid Novalis represents our favourite type of books to read (hence "novel") and potentially our preferred writing style if we choose to engage in such a task. The House placement is indicative of the reason(s) why you actively engage in reading.
In other news, it's good to be back (kinda)! School's been really busy so I have to of course put my focus mostly on that😅
NOVALIS IN ARIES You have a preference for fast-paced, energetic and action-packed books as you tend to get bored easily if otherwise. You'll also like books through which you can find elements you relate to.
NOVALIS IN TAURUS You have a preference for predictable books, ones through which offer practicality. Also, you'll like books with an artistic flare and descriptions (makeup, furniture, architecture, etc)
NOVALIS IN GEMINI
You have a preference for books that challenge what you think you may already know. With your flexible mental nature, you'll thrive reading educational books.
NOVALIS IN CANCER
You have a preference for books that remind you of a cozy home environment and your family. You seek literature that is nurturing and tugs at your heartstrings.
NOVALIS IN LEO
You have a preference for dramatic books, ones by which there is a great plot twist. You overall love books that are fun (I know this isn't a book but Disenchantment comes to mind bc there's literally no rules, just fun lol)
NOVALIS IN VIRGO
You have a preference for books that serve of use for your personal likes. You like books that are deeply detailed and analyze whichever topic is being studied. Devils advocate comes to mind.
NOVALIS IN LIBRA You have a preference for harmonious books, ones through which the characters are all treated equally. You would also like bits of romance.
NOVALIS IN SCORPIO You have a preference for dark books (true crime and mystery come to mind), ones that aren't afraid to hold back. You enjoy the intensity and passionate nature of such literature.
NOVALIS IN SAGITTARIUS
You have a preference for books that make you feel hopeful, ones through which you can metaphorically take a trip to a new destination. You enjoy fantasy-like books.
NOVALIS IN CAPRICORN You have a preference for books that offer structure in your life. Self help books come to mind, ones in which inform you on how to become more disciplined in your life.
NOVALIS IN AQUARIUS
You have a preference for books that challenge the status quo and are rebellious in nature. Dystopian-style books such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner come to mind as not only do they challenge societal norms, they offer to help people in the process.
NOVALIS IN PISCES You have a preference for books that act as an escape from reality, such as magical and fantasy genres. You too could enjoy literature pertaining to spirituality and your beliefs.
~Why you may enjoy reading~
NOVALIS 1H
As a means of self-improvement, personality growth and glow-up opportunity
NOVALIS 2H
As a means of growing your finances, learning financial literacy and how to manage your belongings
NOVALIS 3H
As a means of improving communicative ability and to be more efficient in self-expression
NOVALIS 4H
As a means of gaining awareness of ones heredity (particularly the mother), traditions and roots.
NOVALIS 5H
As a means of unlocking your creativity, a side hobby (just for fun)
NOVALIS 6H
As a means of necessity (for work/employment), to improve health overall (nutrition, physicality)
NOVALIS 7H
As a means of recreating romantic opportunities (or manifesting such)
NOVALIS 8H
As a means of exploring topics considered as taboo, to transform as a person, or just smut lol
NOVALIS 9H
As a means of growth, learning about other cultures (places and languages), philosophy, religion, upper education, indulging in social media
NOVALIS 10H
As a means of developing ones reputation, improving career, involving authority
NOVALIS 11H
As a means of achieving ones dreams, manifestation tactic (imagining your dream life through the litterature)
NOVALIS 12H
As a means of exploring ones fears, secrecy and privacy.
_______________________________________________
I have Novalis in Gemini 9H and I find that it resonates. I tend to read smaller articles online and, since I'm very curious by nature, I love literature that goes against what I thought I already knew
What's your Novalis placement? Does it resonate? Let me know in the comments🤍🤍

My Glue
Tumblr media
Pairing: Newt x female reader
Summary: When your brother is killed in the maze Newt is still by your side to support you.
Being a Runner was practically what I was meant to do. Since I first showed up and laid my eyes on the maze I wanted to go in. Being a girl wouldn't stop me from that. That part's extremely relevant to mention because I just so happen to be the only girl here. Of course, just like everything in this place there are a few other details that make it different.
When I came up in the box I had a faint memory of some of their faces. I even knew a few names before they were told. That's probably how I figured out tho my brother was here. While a few Glader's were suspicious of me, which I guess isn't the most uncalled for, when they saw that we're basically the spitting image of each other it sort of became accepted.
We were close. He was my best friend and one of the most important people in my life.
That changed though. The day started out normal. I woke up, had breakfast, got packed for the day, said goodbye to Newt, and was off. That's how it should have remained. Nothing about that was supposed to be different.
On that day though everything was. I left the maze on time along with every other Runner.
He didn't though. Now he's dead, and I'm in the Glade barely holding it together. Of course, there isn't a lot of time for people to notice that I'm breaking. I barely even can because I am always doing something. I'm always running or trying to make myself better. If I can't then I'm asleep.
It's always there though. In the back of my mind the feelings will forever taunt me. I don't even know what to call it. I just know it makes me want to lay on the ground and never get up.
It's Greenie night now, and instead of being with the people that care about me I'm hiding in the Deadheads. Even though I safely could and want to I don't have the energy to cry.
As I laid there and stared at the tops of the trees I heard footsteps. Realistically I knew I should move. I know that I physically can. At the same time I also can't. There's this weight on my body that's forcing me to stay on the ground.
"Hey love,"Newt greeted, stepping towards me. I turned to look at him. He wore a small smile that almost gave me this bittersweet feeling. Despite it being so dark here I could still see the way it shine brighter than any star ever could. Usually, that would be all I needed to get through the day. Making him laugh just so I could see it used to be at the top of my to-do list.
Nothing is now though because there isn't one. As long as I run in the maze that took my sibling from me then nothing matters.
"Do you wanna talk about it?"He offered, taking a seat next to me.
"No,"I admitted.
"Okay. Do you want to talk about anything?"He asked in that same voice that's smooth as honey and causes me to go weak in the knees. That was different now too though. He always sounded softer and just a little quieter.
"No,"I repeated.
"Okay love. That's fine,"He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I laid my head on his lap and tried not to think about anything that exists, did exist, or even might. I didn't want to think about anything right now. I'm a way I don't think I was. Physically, I'm right here. Mentally, I'm a thousand miles away.
"Do you know what you do need right now?"He asked, now gently running his hand through my hair. I took a minute to try and think, but nothing came to mind.
Thankfully, he knew me well enough to know what my silence meant because he assured me that I didn't have to answer or even talk.
"Thank you,"I whispered.
"Of course. I'm right here Y/N. No matter what,"He promised.
I knew that I had to believe him. He was the glue that kept me together. Whether that included smiling until my cheeks hurt and laughing until my ribs were sore, or just being the reason I kept going, he was the reason for it.
Newt means everything to me so all I can do is be grateful he's here. I don't think I could handle losing him too.

What Makes a Home - The Maze Runner Imagine
Request from Anonymous: I have a lil maze runner request. 🥺 maybe something involving a very motherly reader taking care and keep order of all the glade boys and — girl. yea, that’s all I got 😔 just some nice fluffy maternal stuff.
Warning: Some mentions of blood -- I don't think it's too graphic but it is mentioned.
Author's Note: I hope this is what you wanted! Thank you for your patience!
Word Count: 2.5k
"If you don't tie your shoes, you're going to trip over a rock and crack your head open and get a really ugly scar, and you know what you're going to think then? While you're lying on the ground next to the rock that just cracked your head open? You'll think, 'Gosh, Y/N really was right, just like she always is!' And then you'll die. All because you didn't tie your shoes."
Minho cackled as he bent down. He made a big show of double-knotting his laces, narrating aloud, "First you go left under right, then you make the bunny ears..."
You stood over him, hands on your hips, and tried to hold onto your scowl. You meant business. But then he looked up at you and he smiled and you felt yourself smiling back.
"Thanks, Mom," he teased.
You swatted at his arm but he twisted away, laughing as he shot back in to give you a peck on your cheek. He sprinted off to the Maze, calling out behind him, "Hope you're not too bored without me!"
Slinthead, you thought, but the words that came out of your mouth were, "Be careful!" You watched him until he disappeared into the stone mouth of the Maze, and then you waited a few more minutes, just in case he'd forgotten anything.
Time seemed to pass slower in the morning. The sun crawled up the horizon, creeping into a sky painted with vibrant reds, pinks, and oranges. The Glade began to stir awake.
A group of Slicers passed you on their way to the Blood House. Winston was at the head of the pack, talking with Frankie about something that seemed to require lots of hand gestures. Both boys nodded at you as you waved. Trailing behind them were Mike, Dave, and Geo. Geo was busy trying to step on the back of Dave's shoes, and Dave was busy trying to shove Geo away from him, but Mike slowed to a stop beside you, an easy smile on his face.
"Everything alright?"
You smiled back at him. "Yeah, you? Do you guys need any help?"
Mike shook his head. "I know we don't look the most competent," a few feet away, Dave had slung an arm around Geo's neck and gotten him in a headlock, and was now giving him a noogie, "but we're pretty good at our jobs. I just wanted to say thanks for taking over in the kitchen for me."
"No problem! I like helping Frypan."
Mike's smile grew. "You're the best. Let me know if you need anything!" He squeezed your shoulder and jogged back to his friends. Frankie had separated Dave and Geo and was holding them by the backs of their shirts, but that hadn't deterred Winston from his gesticulating.
You gave the group one last wave, receiving back a chorus of "Bye, Y/N!" and, with a final look at the Maze doors, you headed for the kitchen.
"There's our favorite girl!" Frypan exclaimed when you walked in, his hands deep in a ball of dough. The smell of bacon and eggs made your mouth water, and you saw Jim and Carl manning the flat top grill, bickering whenever they thought the other got in their way. Jack was beside them, providing empty plates and taking away the ones they filled, lining them up on the counter that separated the kitchen from the tables.
"You're just in time. We really knead you." Jack laughed at his own joke, jerking his chin to the dough, his hands full of plates.
Jim and Carl groaned in unison, then went back to arguing. Frypan began to sing, too loud and too off-key, and so perfect for the rambunctious peculiarity of the Glade that it made you feel at home. You smiled, rolled up your sleeves, and got to work.
Your shift in the kitchen ended after lunch with Frypan shooing you out the door. "We've got this handled now, I swear. Clint and Jeff will kill me if I keep you late again," he'd said. Then he'd ruffled your hair and shut the door behind you. A second later, you heard a loud crash, a cacophony of curses from the cooks, and a hurried, "We're fine!"
You made your way to your next job. It was a short walk, just long enough for you to run into Chuck, who tried to tag along with you until Zart, in charge of the boy for the day, hauled him back to the Gardens; and Newt and Alby, who walked with their heads bowed in deep conversation, only looking up to give you a quick greeting.
Gally lingered by the Med-jack Hut, holding his left arm to his body. His eyes were shifty, his face sulky. When he saw you coming, his lips set into a grim line that could have meant he was relieved or pissed off.
"Hey, Gally, you doing okay?" you said brightly, opening the door.
Gally followed you inside. "Fine," he grunted. As soon as he kicked the door shut behind him, he thrust his left arm in your face.
It was drenched in red. "Woah, what'd you do there?" You took a reactionary step back so it didn't drip on you, then peered closer.
"Dumb Greenie. Can't use a clunkin' saw." Gally spat on the ground.
You clucked your tongue at him. "Not indoors," you chided.
Gally frowned but didn't spit again.
"Sit down, I'll fix you right up." You pointed to the cot. Gally followed your directions like an angry toddler: trudging to the bed, sitting down heavily, and letting out a series of irritated sighs while you searched through the drawers. The medical supplies were sorted meticulously by Clint and put into frequent disarray by Jeff. You guessed Clint had been here last because you were able to easily find clean towels, wipes, and antibiotic ointment. You cleaned your hands with a wet wipe, tossed it in the trash, then returned to Gally, your brightest, most eager-to-help smile on your face.
Gally scowled at the floor.
You pulled his arm toward you and went to work wiping away the blood with a towel. "So a new guy did this?"
Gally nodded.
"And how'd that happen?" With the blood mostly cleared away, you could see a long, skinny cut along Gally's forearm. It stretched from just below his wrist halfway to his elbow. Although it had clearly gushed blood before, the rush had slowed. You applied pressure while you waited for Gally's answer.
"Idiot said he could cut the board. Idiot couldn't cut the damn board." Gally gritted his teeth as you pressed harder.
"What are you guys working on right now?" Peeling the towel back, you took a peek at the cut. It had stopped bleeding so heavily, and you could see that it wasn't deep. You let out a quiet, happy hum, then traded out the towel for a wipe. You started to clean the cut, glancing up at Gally every so often.
"We're...uh...working. On the Homestead." Gally's eyes flicked to yours, widened when he saw you were looking at him, then shot back to the floor. "Just normal stuff. Not for anything."
You raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? Not for anything?" Gally's mouth clamped shut. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. "The cut's not too bad," you added after the silence had stretched on for too long.
"So I can leave?" He tensed like he was about to bolt off the bed.
"No! I haven't even bandaged it yet. It's like you're asking for it to get infected." You gave him a light smack on his uninjured arm.
Gally looked affronted. "No, I'm not," he muttered.
"You guys are too tough for your own good sometimes," you mused as you started dabbing the antibiotic ointment on Gally's cut. He grunted in response, which you decided to take as him profusely thanking you for doing such a good job. You bandaged his arm with a smile. "All set."
Gally was striding to the door as soon as the words were out of your mouth. "Thanks," he mumbled.
"No problem!" You started cleaning up, trying to match Clint's keen eye for organization. You were just trying to remember if he stored the creams alphabetically by name or by use when you heard someone clear their throat. You turned.
Gally was still standing by the door. His hands were on his hips and he was glaring a hole into the floor. "It's good," he said, seeming to fight to get every word out, "that we have someone like you. In the Glade." He nodded sharply, then stomped out of the room.
Your chest warmed and a shy, heartfelt smile crept onto your lips. "Thanks, Gally," you said to no one.
The rest of the afternoon was uneventful. Somehow, not a single Glader managed to get injured. Not even Chuck! Or someone working in the general vicinity of Chuck! You’d organized and reorganized the supplies, and when that had become mind-numbingly boring, you’d practiced your sutures and leafed through the medical textbooks. As the sun dipped below the horizon, you headed to dinner alone. Neither Clint nor Jeff had come to get you. Usually one of them would take over while you were gone, or, if all the Runners were back and the Builders and Slicers had finished their work for the day, all three of you would walk to the kitchen together. Leaving the Med-jack hut unattended made you uneasy. You hoped you would run into one of the Med-jacks on the way.
You saw no one. As you neared the kitchen, the air felt too still. The Glade was too quiet, too devoid of all the noises people made as they talked and ate and allowed themselves to unwind. You knew the kitchen and the dining area would be empty before you walked in, but it still made your chest run cold to see a place that was supposed to be so lively be so dead.
Your mind raced as you left the kitchen. Was there a meeting? You started walking toward the Homestead, then running. Why hadn't anyone gotten you? At the back of your mind, in that slimy, creeping voice that you hated, another thought arose: what if the Creators had taken all of them back?
You ran faster.
Suddenly, the doors of the Homestead burst open, and Gladers came pouring out, calling your name. For a split second, you were terrified. For a split second, you thought everything had gone wrong. Then you saw their grins. You heard their happiness. You slowed down.
"What's going on?" you asked, breathless from exertion and shock and excitement.
Newt was at the front of the group. "The boys made a little surprise for you, love." He tilted his head back at the Homestead.
"They did?" Your heart had pounded with panic seconds before, and it kept its same quick beat, only now trickles of warmth began to fill your chest and small butterflies beat against your stomach. Newt moved out of your way, giving you a clear path into the Homestead. Boys lined up on either side of you, more peering out through the open door, and, as you walked inside, a motley group of Keepers and your closest friends waited for you against the back of the room. The group was so thick you couldn't see the wall behind them. Thomas and Minho were front and center, wearing matching smiles of mischief and glee.
"One," Minho said.
"Two," continued Thomas.
"Three!" they shouted in unison, and the group parted to reveal a door.
A new door.
"That isn't--" you started to say, and then you were pushed and pulled forward, and they opened the door for you, and you were inside of the Homestead's newest room.
Your room.
Your friends filled in after you. They wandered around the small space, excitedly pointing out the things they'd brought for you.
"You obviously need a better blanket, so I put my second favorite one there for you." Minho pointed to the bottom of the bed, a roguish grin on his face. Both of you knew that was his favorite blanket.
"And I folded it!" Chuck added.
"I read that the smell of lavender helps with sleeping," Clint said when you saw the vase of flowers on your bedside table.
"And I put them in a glass!" Chuck added.
"Brought some housewarming snacks!" Frypan shouted as he and the other cooks weaved in and out of the Homestead holding trays of mini sliders.
"And I helped bring them over from the kitchen!" Chuck added.
"Newt and I...uh...tried to make some pillows." Thomas scratched the back of his head. "We recruited Jeff to sew them up. I think they'll stay shut?" He smiled bashfully.
"And I helped stuff them!" Chuck added.
"Made a rug out of sheepskin," Winston cut in proudly.
Chuck did not have anything to add.
As the commotion swirled around you, and you nodded and laughed and thanked everyone, you felt a quiet presence beside you. Looking over, you saw Gally, who seemed determined not to stare back at you.
"I thought you said you were just working on normal stuff," you teased. Around you, the room was warm and full of laughter. Your heart felt so full you thought it would burst. 
Gally shrugged. You figured that was all you were going to get until he said, “I came up with the idea for the window.”
The window was next to your bed. Its edges were crisp and neat, and, because they couldn’t make glass panes in the Glade, it was framed by wooden shutters so you’d be able to close it. Right now, it was open, and light from the setting sun streamed in and gave everything a comforting orange glow.
“I love it,” you said, and for a second you felt yourself getting choked up, all of your gratitude and care and love for these boys becoming overwhelming. You wanted to wrap all of them in a hug and never let them go, you wanted to tell each and every one of them that you appreciated them, you wanted to make sure none of them ever got hurt again. You wanted them all to know how much you loved them. But maybe, you thought, feeling all of them around you in this room they’d built and designed for you, maybe they already knew.
“It’s got something written on it,” Gally muttered. He nodded to the left shutter.
Swallowing back happy tears, you stepped closer, peering at the shutter's bottom edge. The words were neat, carved in delicate cursive that should have been impossible to do on wood. It said: Thank You.
You couldn’t help yourself. You started to cry.
Gally shifted uncomfortably before reaching out to give you an awkward pat on your shoulder.
You cried harder.
Then Minho’s voice rang out from across the room. “Check the other shutter!” he crowed.
Sniffling and wiping away tears, you squinted at the other shutter. There, painstakingly carved in elegant script on the right side shutter, was the word: Mom.
That slinthead.

Stay with me
Newt X Reader
→ He/him pronouns
→ Movie based but I put a few things from the books, mainly for the griever description
Synopsis: reader is a runner and unfortunately meets a Griever during his daily run in the Maze. He comes back to the Glade terrified and seeks comfort in Newt.
Warnings: none
A/N: English is not my first language, I also may not know the whole Glader's slang but I hope I got it right. Please correct me if I made any mistake!
!!REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!
Tumblr media
You were about to leave for the Maze with Minho. Your bags were ready and you were just waiting for the keeper's green light, but it seemed that he was taking his time today. Which was weird, considering Minho's devotion. Weird or not, he wasn't there, and you were not a runner for nothing: you couldn't stay still. You had zero patience and needed to let your energy out to not go insane between these walls. So you decided to do a quick warm up by jogging around the Glade until Minho decides to show up. After a quick stretch, you run to the Homestead.
As you pass by the Gardens, a voice you know very well calls you.
"Oh hi Newt!" you say as he walks to you.
"What are you doing?" he asks and looks around, "where's Minho?"
You shrug. "I have no idea. Maybe that shank decided to sleep in." you answer, earning a little laugh from the blonde.
An awkward silence followed, you didn't know what to say as you were too focused on your racing heartbeat. Newt made it beat faster than any running session, but he didn't seem to notice and you wouldn't tell him. After two seconds of silence that felt like two hours, you speak again, trying not to stutter.
"I'm going to look for hi-" you began, but you feel a fist hitting your shoulder, "ouch!"
You turn around and see your friend. His eyebrows frowned and his arms crossed on his chest.
"Where were you?" Minho asked, annoyed.
"Where were YOU? I went running because I was bored, I waited for you for almost 30 minutes!"
You pointed an accusing finger at him and he rolled his eyes.
"Yeah whatever, let's go." he said before walking to the door.
You sigh and turn to Newt again. "See how he treats me? A tyrant." He smiles at your comment. "Guess I gotta go then, see you later!"
"Yeah, be careful."
"As always," you give him a wink, which caused the boy to blush a little, but you didn't notice.
You smile at each other and you have to mentally slap yourself to walk away from Newt and get to the Maze. You join Minho who's waiting for you, the bag on his shoulders and his arms crossed.
"Who's waiting for who now?" he says as you roll your eyes.
"C'mon it's been two minutes!"
"Felt like an eternity."
Minho really got on your nerves sometimes, but you knew he was doing it on purpose so you couldn't be mad at him. He sure was funny, but you would never tell him that as he absolutely didn't need an ego boost. You put your bag on your shoulders and follow your friend in the Maze before separating ways and going to your section. You ran for hours, following the path you were used to and taking notes at every turn. You were here for almost a year and a half and you basically knew the Maze like the back of your hand.
After a few hours, the sun was at its zenith and you decided to take a break to eat and drink. You took around 15 minutes off, as you did everyday, because again, staying still longer was impossible to you. You could handle an hour or two with nothing to do in the Glade, but in the Maze it was a whole different story. So you packed your things and went on your daily routine, but before you could make a step, you heard it. The metallic stomps against the cold stone of the Maze, and the horrible grunt you could hear at night when you were not sleeping. You froze and held your breath. A thousand thoughts were running through your head and you knew you had to run, but your legs were like paralysed and you couldn't bring yourself to move. You didn't know when you started breathing again, but another set of metallic sounds and rattlings got you out of your trance and your legs finally moved again. You carefully approached the origin of the sounds. You had no doubt it was a Griever, but you wanted to make sure it didn't notice you.
After only a few steps you realised that walking towards a Griever was definitely the worst idea you've ever had, but there was no time to think about it as the creature rolled in front of you. It was on the other side of the corridor, about 50 meters away. Your body moved by itself, you had no time to think. You heard it go after you and you tried to run faster if it was possible, cursing under your breath. The Griever was getting closer, and tears started to blur your vision. Your legs felt like they were on fire and you could swear your heart was about to explode in your chest. Even your throat hurt from breathing so fast. You could still hear the Griever rolling behind you, his pliers slamming as if it was just having fun by menacing to catch you. Though the sounds were distant; your heartbeat was so strong you could feel it in your head and you heard your blood's pumping.
You turned around a few corners of the Maze without thinking and luckily you didn't end up trapped in a dead end. You ran for hours, refusing to stop before you arrived in the Glade, you weren't sure if the Griever was still after you but you were too scared to look behind you. You couldn't hear anything else than your heartbeat and your loud steps echoing on the huge walls.
One last turn and you saw the vast green expanse in front of you. You didn't slow down and even tried to run faster to the Glade. In just a few seconds you exited the Maze and were back in the only safe place you knew. A few meters in the Glade and you finally stopped running (more like your legs gave up and you fell on the ground). You tried to catch your breath but you started crying at the same time which could give the impression to anyone seeing you that you were convulsing. To your own surprise, you didn't cry for long, just a few minutes, but it took you some time to breath normally again. You sat down, your back against the wall and your gaze on the grass. Zoning out, you didn't hear the steps approaching you.
"Y/n? Why are you already back?" you recognised Newt's accent and looked up. He immediately kneeled in front of you, visibly worried. "Are you okay?"
"I... I just saw a Griever..." your voice was shaky and tears were coming up to your eyes again, "it- it chased me and... I don't know how I'm still alive..."
"What?!" Newt exclaimed before processing to check out your body for possible wounds, "did you get stung? I'm calling the medjacks!" He got up and you grabbed his hand.
"No, I'm fine..." your voice broke and tears were running down your cheeks again, "can you stay with me..? P-Please..." you said between sobs.
Newt nodded and kneeled in front of you again. Your back no longer against the wall, you threw your arms around his him and sobbed heavily against his chest. He hugged you back, his arms around your shoulders. His left hand gently rubbing your back and his other hand resting on your head. "It's okay," he whispered, "you're safe now." You stayed like that for a few minutes, until your sobs became soft sniffles. Newt's grip on you loosened when he felt that you were calming down, but you didn't let go an even held him a bit tighter.
"Wait," you said with a little panic in your voice before whispering again, "don't pull away... not yet." He put his arms on your back again. "Okay, I'll stay as long as you need."

Finders Keepers | Gally [TMR] - Part 3
Tumblr media
In which Gally gets soft for one of the boys in the Glade, only…is it a boy? alternatively; In which Mai disguises herself into a boy to fit in the Glade, only to be suspected by the keen eyes of the Builder's Keeper.
taglist: @edynmeyer1 @ss28
Also available on Wattpad.
A/N: I'm sorry but can we take a moment to look at this fine-ass man? Thank you very much.
PREVIOUS | NEXT >>
-----
The first thing that Mai thinks of the moment her eyes spring open is Gally.
Him, and the fact that she's literally made a deal with him. Why? All for a lie.
A lie upon a lie.
Great, Mai wonders what he would make of her if he knew she was a girl. Probably never let her hear the end of it, surely.
It takes a lot for her to drag herself out of bed when she catches sight of Frypan to her left, getting a hold of his shoes and trudging to the kitchen. Mai sighs, running a hand through her short strands before slipping on her own boots to follow the dark-skinned boy.
It's still early and the Maze walls aren't open yet, giving the duo enough time to prepare all ingredients before the Runners start twitching in their hammocks. Frypan gives her the toasting of bread and the cutting of vegetables while he takes charge of the eggs, his good mood boosting the atmosphere and making her feel at ease in his presence. He's a nice guy, Mai decides as she watches him with a small smile, dancing about and humming tunes to himself, tunes probably from his past memory.
"How ya holdin' up, Mai?" Frypan asks as he overlooks his eggs, "you doing okay?"
"Fine," Mai replies, realizing that she'll have to either restrain herself from talking or talk in a deeper voice so that they won't get suspicious of her. Though, with the baggy clothes she's inherited from the storage room, it will take a while. They're all so large they practically dwarf her skinny frame.
It's finally breakfast time and the Runners are up first, getting their load of eggs, toast and bacon before they settle at their usual table. Minho's here too, grinning at her while she loads up his plate, "enjoying your new job, Greenie?"
"My name is Mai." she throws him a scowl, but he just laughs, "yeah yeah, sorry. The name suits you. Anyway, Mai," he makes a good point of dragging the word out, "hope your cooking's as good as Fry's."
"If not better," she answers with a roll of her eyes before moving on to the next Runner.
"Don't forget to pack their lunches!"
"For shuck sake," Mai mutters as she quickly moves on to the lunches.
Minho settles himself down at the countertop, not really caring whether she looks like she's in a panic, "Ever wanted to go out into the Maze, Greenie?" he asks, watching her quickly build up the sandwiches with amusement.
"No," Mai responds as she finishes wrapping up a sandwich, "aren't you scared of going out there everyday?"
The asian boy shrugs, "it's our job. That's what we do as Runners, we try to find a way out of this place."
"And have you?"
"Not yet," he presses his lips together, face drawn and serious, "but we hope we will soon. We've got a clue that might lead us the right way."
"Right," Mai finishes up his sandwich and hands it out to him, "you'll need all of that energy then."
"Thanks," he tucks it into his satchel, then without warning reaches over to ruffle her hair as Mai protests, "I'll see you tonight."
She barely has time to tell him off about touching her hair with the same hands that touched his food before he's setting off towards the Maze doors. Embarrassed and flustered, Mai pats her hair down in hopes of getting her heartbeat back to normal when a voice causes her to jump.
"You look pathetic."
"Jesus Gally!" Mai holds a hand to her chest, throwing him a glare as she does so, "can't you say hello like any shuck human?"
Gally shrugs, leaning over the counter where Minho had been a few seconds ago, "why you looking at him like that, huh?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Mai starts assembling his plate, putting two toasted bread slices before going to the eggs.
"Your face says otherwise."
She scoops up some extra eggs and bacon onto his plate before shoving it into his hand, "just go eat Gally, and leave me alone."
"Sure thing Greenie," he smirks, which causes Mai to scowl even deeper, "you're holding up the line."
Thankfully he doesn't fight her, merely picks up his utensils before trudging off to find a seat.
Mai blows out air from her mouth. Today's going to be a long day.
——-
"Newt, right?"
The elfin-faces boy looks up from his gardening spot, frown dissipating into confusion when he finds Mai looking up at him with an expression similar to a deer in the headlight's.
"Hey Mai, everything okay?"
That's probably the first person to address her with her name and she will certainly not forget that.
"Yes everything is fine. Uhm— Frypan needs more tomatoes for the stir-fry tonight," Mai tries not to fidget under Newt's intense stare, "so..."
"Yeah," Newt looks over to another boy not too far from him, "Oi Zart," he calls out, "think we got some tomatoes to spare them?"
"Should have," the boy called Zart replies, "just need to cut 'em."
While Mai lingers around for Zart's tomatoes, she decides to keep Newt company as he toils through the soil.
"I thought you were second-in-command," Mai's eyes linger over the way Newt seems to drag his leg. It's a small limp, barely noticeable and yet, it seems like it hurts him, "why are you out here in the gardens?"
"Ey well, I like planting," he throws a small smile her way, "but I also tend to walk around and oversee stuff when Alby's not around."
"Where is Alby anyway?"
"He's been up all night, the poor shank," Newt shakes his head as he pulls out a few weeds, "the Runner seem to have made some progress. He's probably busy with that." Only then does he glance at her small frame, "you doing okay with Frypan in the kitchen?"
"He's great," Mai nods, "I like him."
Newt chuckles, "everyone does."
She finds that he's easy to talk to, this blonde boy who barely looks over sixteen yet speaks with the experience of an adult that's lived here for ages. Mai realizes she feels comfortable in his presence and before she knows it, has spent the entire afternoon by his side as he goes through his tasks.
Only at Frypan's call does she clamber back to the kitchen with an apologetic wave in Newt's direction and her basket full of ripe tomatoes.
She's halfway to the Homestead when she collides against a hard wall. No, not a hard wall. Someone. And that someone's angry.
"Hey watch it!" An angry Gally comes out from the other side, causing Mai to yelp out, "I'm so sorry Gally, I—" her eyes are wide as she sways, basket threatening to fall in her hold, "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going—"
"What're you doing carrying that klunk around by yourself?" He interrupts, glowering at her.
Mai winces, hating the intensity of his eyes because god he can be scary when he wants to be, "I--Frypan needs more veggies for dinner so I--"
"Oh slim it, Greenie." And before she knows it, he's hoisted her basket out of her hold and is already striding towards the kitchen, leaving Mai to run after him in hopes of catching up to his giant strides, "you don't have to help--"
"Too late for that," he grunts out. He reaches the counter and hoists the basket onto its surface, throwing her a glare that makes her want to shrivel up and die in a corner, "watch where you're going next time. You have eyes, don't you?"
"Yes," her mumble barely makes it out of her mouth as her eyes glue themselves to the ground.
"So use them," he turns to go but Frypan's voice echoes through the air, "hey Gally! What brings you over?"
"Nothing," his eyes narrow towards Mai, "just this shank being useless."
"What happened?" Frypan looks over at the smaller Glader, concern swimming in his voice as he asks, "did you get hurt?"
"Of course not," Gally growls out, "but you might want to stick him into the kitchen instead of making him run around to get your stuff. He's weak as shuck."
"Gally," Frypan tuts, though there's a grin on the Cook's face. He turns to Mai, "don't worry about him. He's always this grumpy during the day. I think it's because he hasn't eaten yet."
The said grumpy Glader is already walking away at this point, leaving an amused Frypan and a traumatized Mai in his wake. The brown-skinned boy throws Mai a smile, as if to comfort her, "Don't worry about him, Mai. He's a bit rough around the edges, but his heart's in the right place."
"Not too sure about that," Mai mutters, though it reaches Frypan's ears and causes him to chortle in laughter, "come on," he motions towards the uncut veggies, "we got a lot of shanks to feed."
——-
Night falls and as usual, Mai waits in her hammock, curled up and tucked in to try and look as if she's already asleep as the rest of the Gladers shuffle to their own spaces. The chatter slowly dies down one by one and soon, even Newt, who's done his round around the Glade, settles in and murmurs a soft goodnight to her before turning his light out.
Mai waits, breathing as softly and as steadily as she can.
And then, when silence stretches out before her like a blank canvas, she decides to take the chance.
Slowly letting herself down from her hammock, she pads out of the Homestead as gently as she can, hurrying past the group of Huts where the rest of the Keepers are currently asleep. She hears a soft snore coming from Minho's hut and a small giggle escapes her lips. She can imagine him now, mouth parted and legs akimbo, probably dead tired from this morning's run.
Mai almost makes it to the showers when sudden footsteps echo behind her.
She swirls around, eyes wide and alert, only for her eyes to land on a familiar face.
"Gally?" she whispers hoarsely.
He lets out the most exasperated sigh she's ever heard from him yet, "You again?" He rubs a hand over his face, it's clear that he's tired too and half-asleep, "what're you doing out here?"
"I..." her voice trails off unsurely. What should she say? Should she just make up an excuse about wanting the loo?
Gally lets out another sigh before he regards her with a look, crossing his arms over his chest, "showers again?" he prompts when silence is her only answer.
He gets confirmation at her nod and after a few beats of more silence, the Builder shakes his head before motioning towards the shower, brushing past her in the process, "come on then, you crazy shank." he mumbles.
Maybe his words are a bit vicious, but it's probably the darkness that softens his tone and causes a small smile to quirk at the corner of Mai's lips as she follows him.
Contrary to his grumbling and his groaning, Gally stands outside the shower stalls -- after having been pushed out by the Greenie when he'd walked in and turned away -- a bit confused as to why Mai was so adamant on keeping her privacy. It just doesn't make sense, considering that they're all built the same. Right?
Unless...
Unless there's something that the Greenie is hiding.
Gally's foot taps impatiently out of pure habit, something he's picked up while deep in thought. What is it that Mai doesn't want to show other Gladers? He can't seem to think of one possibility apart from the very literal one that would've been so obvious that--
Wait.
Wait wait wait.
Wait a shuck minute.
No.
That's not possible.
The entirety of Gally's body freezes up like stone. For a moment, he thinks he forgets to breathe.
No. It can't be. Mai's a guy just like all the other Greenies that came up before. And he looks like one, there's no way he isn't one unless this is some sort of sick joke to the Creators. And if he was -- hypothetically speaking -- a girl, then why the need to hide?
Gally wants to laugh at himself for being so stupid. Of course not. He would've seen it since the very beginning. Girls had...well, different assets than guys, so he wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret for so long.
Yes, Gally was certain there was nothing else there. Mai just wants some privacy, as simple as that, because Mai fancies guys.
"Gally?"
His body unfreezes at the sound of the Greenie's voice. He steps away from the door and turns to see the younger boy, at the way his newly washed hair falls into his face and how he's practically swimming in his clothes. With his hair down like this, Gally can almost picture Mai being a girl, all soft features and small mouth and wide eyes that look like he's constantly surprised.
He's a guy, Gally repeats to himself. He is a guy.
But what if there is the possibility that Mai is a girl? Then what?
Doesn't that mean something to the Glade? Doesn't that threaten their supposed peace? Is it a sign?
And if so, is he supposed to tell Alby and Newt about it?
"Gally, you okay?" Mai asks, causing the said Builder to snap back to reality. He clears his throat, "yeah m'fine. Let's go."
He walks a little too fast for Mai's liking back to Homestead, but he realizes that he doesn't care. His mind is spinning too much and there are so many thoughts crowding his brain that he just wants to sleep and forget everything about that new stupid Greenie.
Tomorrow, everything will go back to normal and Gally can go on with his life just like he'd done for the past three years.

I stood leaning against the wooden prop for the kitchen roof, my arms crossed over my chest as Fry and I chatted about the fish the boys had brought in this morning. As well as some news about things going on with various people. 
"... you know what I mean?" I finished, 
He nodded and was about to speak but as he looked at me he stopped short and flashed me a look behind me, I raised an eyebrow a little confused about what Fry was getting at, "You have a shadow," He chuckled quietly, 
I turned around and immediately noticed him. 
Milo, stood on the lush green grass, his little brown shoes sinking slightly into the soft earth beneath them. He was wearing beige shorts and a long white shirt that hung loosely on his small frame, making him appear even tinier. His skin was pale, almost translucent, and was dotted with a smattering of freckles that danced across his cheeks and nose. His big chocolate brown eyes, full of wonder and curiosity, were wide open as he gazed up at me. His mop of Y/h/c fluffy hair blew in the wind. 
"Uncle Tommy?" he squeaked, 
"Ohhh hiya Milo, What is it?" I asked, 
"Can I ask you something?"
"Course you can kiddo,"
"Would you tell me about my mummy and daddy?"
I suddenly felt a chill, I knew colour drained from my face. We all knew this would come soon, this question was going to come someday honestly I'm surprised it took so long. 
"Uhhhh well..." I stuttered, "Alright come on," I told him putting an arm around his shoulder and we headed through the camp, He happily came with me and I looked around until I found Minho sitting by the beach. "Go on go see Uncle Minho," I told him, 
Milo ran over excitedly and hugged Minho tightly,
"Whoa!" He chuckled, "Hi little guy," 
"We have the question," I told him,
"Ahh..." Minho nodded, "Okay," he nodded, 
I sat down on the log beside Minho and Milo sat himself on the sand looking up at us with wide brown eyes full of curiosity, 
"So? Are you gonna tell me about my mummy and daddy?" Milo asked with an innocent smile, 
Minho and I shared and looked before we nodded, Milo lit up with excitement to hear we were going to tell him, He shuffled a little closer and smiled. 
"Well, where do we begin?" I chuckled, 
"Well, When I came up the box and into the glade I met your father Newt." Minho explained, "You're father was very kind, sweet, and caring for all of us, I admit there were arguments, there were rough times but we all pulled through all we had was each other. Newt pulled me out of the box and showed me around the glade," Minho smiled, "He and I were runners together, We'd get up in the early morning before the sun, get our packs and go running together through the maze of long changing corridors, and be back to the glade just before frypans stew." Minho chuckled, "Truly Milo, your father was one of my closest and best friends."
"Do you miss Daddy, Uncle Minho?" Mil asked,
"Every day I do." He nodded, 
"What did daddy look like?" Milo asked, 
"You don't remember?" I asked,
He shook his little head, "Not really..." he said, "I remember... little things but not too much,"
"Well, newt was tall, taller than Alby, lanky," Minho explained,
"But strong arms," I added,
"He did that's true," he chuckled, 
"Blonde hair, with brown eyes and you definitely got his nose," I explained,
"ooohh," Milo smiled stroking his nose excitedly, "I did!"
"You definitely did," Minho laughed, "Newt's nose. and Newt's Eyes." 
"And Y/n's hair, and freckles," I laughed, 
"Did you spend lots of time with my daddy Uncle Minho?" Milo smiled,
"We spent every day for a year together when..." 
I looked at Minho unsure if we should but we exchanged a look and I trusted him, we should tell Milo... everything, I nodded to him and he nodded back.
"After about a year, your father Newt... we lost him for the day. We couldn't find him, and it was almost time for the doors to close... And I went out to find him. And I found him out in the maze." Minho explained sadly, "He had climbed halfway up the maze walls and jumped off."
"ooh... Why?" Milo asked sadly, 
"He hated how many of his friends he'd lost, how little help he could be to people, how things seemed to be... missing and strange." He explained, "Alby and I carried him back to the glade and we nursed him back to... as good as we could, but he'd have a limp for the rest of his life." 
"Poor daddy," Milo sighed, 
"Yeah poor daddy," I nodded, "But that didn't stop him, it didn't change him from being the kindest person I ever met," 
"what about my mummy?" Milo asked, 
"You're mother came up not long after," Minho chuckled, "Y/n came up in the box one month and she met all of us in the glade... and kicked out butts. As the one girl in the glade, she had to keep up with all of us boys. She was so sweet, caring and beautiful, She was our little nurse. And she took such good care of us all." 
"She did?"
"She did," Minho nodded, "You know your daddy sat with me at the bonfire one day and you know what he told me?"
"What did he tell you!"
"He said, your mother was the most beautiful girl he could even imagine. And he knew the first day she walked into the medjacks to help bandage his ankle, he knew he was in love." 
"He did!"
"He did kiddo," I laughed, "He loved your mother more than anything, he used to go into the medjacks every day just complaining about nothing, just to see her," 
"Did she love him too!?"
"...After a while, she took a little convincing, but your mother loved him as endlessly as he loved her."
"What did she look like?"
"She had long Y/h/c hair, beautiful  Y/e/c eyes, pale skin and freckles,"
"Like me!" He giggled petting his hair,"
"Yeah you have her Y/h/c hair kiddo," Minho chuckled,
"Then what happened? After they fell in love?"
"So... they got married,"
"Married?!"
"Yeah, one summer afternoon, by the tall bonfire they got married. It was very beautiful I cried. A lot."
"I wish I could have seen it," I smiled,
"And then... not long after, we heard about you."
"Me!"
"Little you Milo, we learnt you were growing in your mummy's tummy. So of course we all became very protective of her and you. None more so than your daddy. He wouldn't even let her walk around the glade at the risk of you getting hurt." Minho explained, "They loved you so much, they'd have done anything for you,"
"what about when I was born?"
"Ahh a very magical day," Minho laughed,
"magical indeed," I chuckled, "I'd only been in the glade a week when you arrived, it was a very busy day," I laughed, "But when you arrived... I'd never seen anyone so happy, Y/n cradled your tiny body in her arms and gave you kisses, Newt cried and cuddled you close they couldn't stop smiling and saying just how perfect and beautiful you were, they thought you were one in a Million little kiddo, so they named you Milo, They showed you to everyone, they showed you to everyone, let everyone in the glade hold you and cuddle you, newt held you in his arms and showed you off like you where made of gold," I smiled,
"They loved you so much," Minho smiled, "So when we left the maze of course they took you in their arms and carried you as we all escaped," 
"And as we were picked up and taken to the facility, you never left their arms not once." I smiled, "They carried you through the facility and made sure you got the best medical care possible. And when it was time to escape the facility Newt and Y/n wouldn't leave without you."
"They carried me all that way?" Milo asked,
"Milo, your mother and father took turns to strap you to their chest and travelled from the glade where you were born, through the maze, through the facility, through the scorch, and from the right arms camps to the last city. You never left their arms. Not once." I explained, 
"And they planned a life with you, a real-life, a house, a school, everything to keep you safe kiddo," Minho smiled, "Until-"
"And when Minho was taken with Sonya and Aris... Newt and Y/n stood at nothing to bring you guys home," I smiled at Minho,
"I know..." Minho nodded even if he had a sober face,
"Newt... began to get sick," I said,
"No-" Milo gasped,
"He did, he got infected. it began in his arm and then crawled up his body, every day the infection and madness got worse but still you Milo were his angel and he would always keep you safe," Minho explained,
"They wouldn't let Vince leave without Minho and the others, so they strapped you to their backs and took you across to the city with them..." I began,
"And I was saved. Along with Sonya, Aris, and all the other kids wicked had taken. Without your parents all this... wouldn't have been possible," Minho explained, "But the virus was airborne in the last city, so as soon as he was there Newt began to get worse so fast..."
"It was hours, barely," I answered, "And then Y/n began to show signs too,"
"Mummy!"
"Yes, your mummy. Both of them began to show signs of the virus spreading," I nodded,
"When the city was attacked... newt got so much worse, but he and Y/n made sure to get us to safety, Newt handed you to Y/n kissed your little head and told you how he loved you more than anything else in this world, he told you how he would always be proud of you and that he wished he'd be able to see you grow up," Minho explained wiping a tear, and he ran back. He kept back the guards, kept back the attack to give us all the chance to get away." 
"Without him... who knows what would have happened," I explained, "But Y/n..."
"ohh Y/n..."
"She knew she was getting worse, she knew it was only a matter of time... so she handed you to me." I began, "She put you in my arms, she told me that she wanted you to have the best life, she wanted me and all of us to give you the life they had wanted for you, she begged me to watch over you, look after you, keep you safe and love you as they had done." I explained, "she kissed your little head, told you she loved you and then she ran."
"Ran... ran where?"
"She ran to Newt." Minho smiled, "She ran to him, and the two died... surrounded by the last city flame, in each other's arms... they sacrificed themselves and their life with you to save the rest of us and died in each other's arms before the virus took hold of them both." 
"You cried and begged for them back, but I kept you in my arms and kept you safe as I promised I would," I told him tussling his Y/h/c hair,
"My mummy and daddy sound very nice and very kind, I wish I could have known them longer..."
"We wish you could too, but they aren't really gone Milo." Minho smiled, "not if you remember them,"
"I know, I do my best. I miss them so much. I wish I could see them again someday, but till then I just have to remember them,"
"We all miss them too, but I know that they'll be watching over you, and looking after you every single day," I told him,
"Thank you, Uncle Minho," He smiled hugging Minho,
"Thank you, Uncle Tommy," He smiled hugging me too,
"You're welcome kiddo," I smiled,
"Go on, get to the gardens you can help Aunt Sonya with the weeding," Minho laughed Milo nodded and happily ran off, "He's a good kid,"
"He is," I nodded, "I wish Y/n and Newt could be here to see him grow up," 
"I know they would have wanted to, but you know they are still keeping an eye on him." Minho laughed
"Course they are, they wouldn't trust us completely with him," I laughed,
