Gally sat up and stretched his back, which was sore from sleeping on his rickety cot all night long. Having only been in the Safe Haven for a few days, their beds hadn't been perfected yet. He still slept on a bed that reminded him of his old bed in the Glade.

Gally sighed and stretched again, trying to work the ache out of his chest. His chest ached more than usual today, though. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to work. Just as he was about to curse himself into oblivion, the hut door swung open and Minho waltzed inside, a tray in his hand. Gally sighed in relief at the sight of the shorter man as he walked over to the bedside and squatted down, setting the tray on the table.

"You groaned all night long, I knew your chest was hurting you. There's hot tea and a warm towel. Lay down." Minho said as he pushed Gally's shoulders back so he was lying down on his back. Gally rolled his eyes before he opened his arms and jerked his head at Minho to get him to lay down with him.

Minho smirked as he laid down beside Gally, his hand automatically going up to Gally's chest, right where the thick, puffy scar laid. Gally's chest had hurt ever since he woke up in the Last City, he was constantly dealing with sharp and dull pains that ran through his chest and deep into his ribs, as if his lung was haunting him.

"Min-" but Minho cut him off with a shake of his head as he grabbed Gally's hand and squeezed it. Minho knew how to massage his chest just right, he had done the same with Newt’s leg and his own muscles after running. He was the expert.

"Tell me if I push too hard." Minho said as he placed his other hand on Gally's chest and began to push and massage his chest to alleviate the pressure.

Gally let a sigh slip out of his lips as his chest had slowly begun to loosen, the pressure faded as Minho manipulated the muscles surrounding his chest. Minho sighed contently as he watched Gally close his eyes and fall back into a deep sleep.
