(The Maze Runner) You Protect Him

Thomas: It further seals the bond between the two of you. He already admired you, but you jumping in to defend him in a Glade scuffle made him realize you really had his back. Trouble seems to follow him where he goes and occasionally rear it ugly head, so he's always appreciative of those who care enough about him to defend him.

Newt: He gets all grumpy over the fact that you put yourself anywhere in the vicinity of danger to protect him. He is rather impressed seeing you stand your ground, but it's pretty much overruled by the reality that you could've been hurt.

Minho: He thinks he can handle himself, but he has to admit he finds it amazing to see you step in on his behalf to protect him. He warns you about inserting yourself into a dangerous situation, but it's said affectionately. He can't help but be impressed.

Gally: He is so torn between being absolutely impressed and also grouchy that you put yourself in harm's way and also hurt pride over the fact that you felt the need to protect him in the first place. He goes from staring at you wide-eyed to frowning to downright complaining. He may even get petty. Even so, part of him feels even more respect for you.

gally the maze runner

🎀!who has a (not so little) crush on you

🎀::(first image, on the left) full creds to: estherscanon on pintrest!

🎀:: A/N: my trade marks are back!! i’ve really gotta update my last two posts - i still haven’t put my watermark on it yet.. haha whoops😭

this was requested by lovely: @rainydaydream-gal18 i hope you like it!

thinking about! gally who has a little crush on you ♡

🎀:: includes, glader!gally, how i think he’d act if he had a crush on you, fluff, headcanons, and you!

-🎀-

thinking about!gally before he knew he liked you, who gets frustrated - at the fact you’re on his mind too much. he’d grumble obscenities under his breath whenever he caught himself looking at you or thinking about you as he zones out, when he really should be focusing on his job

thinking about!gally before he knew he liked you, who unconsciously pushes himself harder when you’re watching or near him.

if its when he’s in the fighting pit: he’d roll up his sleeves to the point his muscular arms are bulging out the tight shirtsleeve - making up excuses when asked about it by his friends, saying things like:

“they just feel better when I go to land a punch - no biggie,” (but it isn’t a “no biggie,” those muscles are far from that and he knows it - lets just hope you realise it too)

he’d pull off more tactical moves and stronger throws of his fists.

or if its a normal day of building: he’d take things out of gladers hands, even shoving them out of the way, just so he’d be in your field of vision.

“gally- wait you just said I was positioned here a few minutes ago!”

“not anymore - go and help out, somewhere else shuck-face,”

thinking about!gally before he knew he liked you, who suddenly snaps/scoffs at you randomly. If you’re too close - at the teasing jokes you make, you know what? even at the sound of your voice.

you know and he knows that he doesn’t mean it, after all your good friends, but it starts to confuse you. which only makes him snap back even more.

its almost comedic.

but really it’s just a defensive mechanism to him - a barrier he puts up to help push down bubbling feelings that keep arising in his chest.

-🎀-

gally who thought he was pretty good at keeping his emotions in line, finally ends up cracking when he lets himself sit with his thoughts.

-🎀-

thinking about!gally who now knows he likes you, suddenly becomes ticked off by any guy who gets your attention - he might throw some shade or a sarcastic comment at them but shrug it off when you mention it.

though, if the glader you were speaking to, ever brought it up - he’d go and make a scene out of it.

pushing at gally’s chest a glader steps in front of him, “what the hell dude, what’s your deal?”

shoving the male in front of him slightly he scoffs back, “you wanna find out slinthead? c’mon keep pushing me, dude.”

thinking about!gally who now knows he likes you, does everything in his power to avoid you - whats he supposed to do with these feelings now? why does he keep acting out?

he doesn’t remember any trace of knowledge that taught him how he’s supposed to go about, whatever this even is!

while this existential crisis occurs in his brain, his demeanour does not show any signs of panic. His body seems to just run itself - his expression serious, and his body just a teensy bit more tense when he’s around you, whilst his consciousness suffers inside.

-🎀-

gally who isn’t the type to easily admit his emotions - finally admits that he likes you when his body takes full control and crashes his lips into yours.

this wasn’t how his little declaration of love was supposed to go - but all thoughts of worry slip away when you feel your body melt into his.

gally honestly was never going to get his way by expressing his feelings through his words so maybe his actions might show much he likes you?

but the funny thing is the fact you always knew - you had always liked him - from the moment you met him - but there was no way in this world you’d ever admit that. so imagine how relieved you felt when he finally made the first move.

at the end of the day though, you were as stubborn as he was, maybe thats what makes you so crazy for each-other?

✦┊ HIGH SCHOOL au — gally

A/N: got bored, rewatched the maze runner movies and my obsession with Will Poulter has resurfaced. This kinda spawned outta nowhere, so enjoy this as my tentative return to writing

❛ His mom is a huge science nerd, i see her as being an ex nasa scientist, quitting when she falls pregnant with Gally

❛ I feel like she'd work in an observatory, would absolutely adore being the guide to young school children on field trips

❛ Gives off huge miss frizzle vibes

❛ His dad is very emotionally constipated but means well

❛ Probably works in a factory, mining, or welding

❛ He's the typical dad that's very handy so he fixes things up around the house

❛ Very bad with words but shows affection through other means

❛ Hair ruffling, shoulder pats, the occasional bear hug when showing affection to Gally

❛ Probably just presses brief kisses to the top of his wife's head since she's short.

❛ If something Gally has mentioned wanting in passing shows up randomly in his room, it'll be from his dad, since his mom makes a big deal out off all gifts and will wrap them or put them in a cute little bag no matter the occasion

❛ When Gally showed interest in wood working his dad bought him his own set of tools and they built a tv stand together then looked online for a second hand tv for his room

❛ Either an only child or has a brother significantly older than him. Like when Gally was born they were in grade 8 (year before highschool)

❛ His older brother was born right after his parents graduated high school, and his grandparents helped watch him while his mom went to university and his dad worked

❛ Gally was 100% unplanned after years of his parents trying for another kid. They kinda gave up on trying only for him to be a happy surprise a few months later

❛ Big mamas boy, very protective of her and surprisingly never really shied away from her affection like most kids do as they grow up. (If you watch anime, picture the dynamic of Ichigo (( Bleach )) and his mom when he was a kid)

❛ Was probably teased growing up, cried easily which just made it worse. Made him a very angry kid and he got into lots of fights

❛ His parents absolutely stood up for him and were great support in trying to get that shit to stop right away

❛ I'd say it's unsurprising that his mom was they one to barge into the principal's office in a fiery rage, considering she's the more talkative one (she's very much the “he asked for no pickles” one between her and her husband)

❛ His father just sat there quietly next to Gally, a satisfied smirk on his face while Gally watched in surprised awe as his tiny mom made the principal cower behind his desk.

❛ The teasing obviously didn't stop cuz kids are evil but it was more subtle. Making a point to exclude him and making it obvious he was being talked about behind his back

❛ But he hit a growth spurt before everyone else and then just kept getting taller and taller, so kids stopped bothering him, especially with how grumpy/angry he became after puberty hit

❛ Not to mention the muscle he gained in highschool since the school had a workout room with all kinds of equipment

❛ Has MASSIVE resting bitch face so has a very small group of friends, everyone else avoids him like the plague cuz they're scared of him

❛ Like his father he's bad with emotions but is very smart, just not in a nerdy way like his mom is. He keeps that shit hidden cuz he doesn't want to be teased again

❛ 100% a bullies bully, sees someone getting messed with and that bully is getting shoved around and tripped, especially if they were someone that used to mess with him as a kid

❛ If anyones says ANYTHING about his friends (Newt being gay, Frypan/Minho’s race) it's OVER for them. Absolutely gets himself detention for punching the daylight outta them

❛ Will not notice if anyone is attracted to him and is HORRIBLE with dealing with a crush. 100% will not want ANYTHING to do with you because he hates the fluttery feeling he gets around you

❛ Probably won't be outright mean to you but won't be all that welcoming. The only way you're even getting a “hi” from him is if you befriend one of HIS friends first and you get introduced to each other

❛ The slowest of slow burns. Probably won't take more than a year but it's rough for you, you will be in the TRENCHES trying to flirt with him

❛ Defending his friends will quickly put you in his good graces and you will now be promoted from friend of a friend that I have to tolerate into friend of a friend I could learn to like (unlike Tommy who huffs and puffs when Gally accepts you into the friend group before him)

❛ The first time you defend HIM is when he realizes he likes you in a way that's more than just surface level. His brain will shut down, I'm talking dial up tones and a million windows pop ups. Poor boys COOKED. Will ghost everyone over the weekend to wallow in his human emotions but come back on Monday like nothing happened

❛ Surprisingly I feel like he would confess in his own emotionally constipated way

❛ Probably happens on your birthday, when he gives you a jewelry box or something similar that he made for you

❛ It's super intricate and you spend most of the party distracted by it, eyes glancing over to it in the middle of conversations

❛ At some point in the night it's just you and Gally alone, and he'll be red in that face, unable to look at you as he asks if you liked the gift

❛ As you gush about how much you like, and give him a big tight hug because it's the first time someone has made you a gift like this, he breaks

❛ He'll hug you back after a moment of surprise, and doesn't let go even when he knows the hug is lasting longer than it should. But you're not moving either, so he'll take it

❛ When you pull away to look up at him, your bright smile would drop to something small and bashful, eyes flicking to his lips so quick he nearly misses it

❛ He'd take the leap, pressing a very stiff kiss to your lips before pulling back right away, face so red you worry it'll catch on fire

❛ You'd pull him back for a proper kiss, but your friends who have been hiding around the corner watching the whole time would come out to tease you guys after a bit, happy you're finally together

❛ Sadly they didn't realize that you guys getting together would be worse then having to watch you two pine helplessly over one another

"An All-Consuming Feeling of Dread"

(Gally x Gender Neutral Reader One-Shot)

You stand completely still, a fist pressed against your lips as you stare at the cold concrete in front of you. Your other hand grips your arm, the touch being the only thing stopping you from banging your fists against those stupid doors. You swear you could still hear him screaming; his crying and pleading never once left your brain.

How did it even happen? How was that possible? No one's ever gotten stung during the day before, so why did it happen to Ben?

You nearly jump out of your skin when someone touches your shoulder, but you quickly calm down once you realize it's Gally that touched you. Still, you go right back to staring at the concrete doors after you realize it's him.

He calls your name quietly at first before raising his voice after you ignore him. His raised volume catches your attention, and your eyes finally latch onto his.

“You good?” He asks, his voice low as he glances around the glade.

The others are staring, perhaps worried by your behavior. You're well aware that they're likely not worried for you, but rather worried that you might have been stung, too, given your odd behavior. Despite how long you've been here, you don't think they'll ever respect you as much as someone like Alby, or Newt, or Gally. It's simply unfeasible.

You force out a breath, trying to get your mind off the others. “Yeah.”

Gally shifts his stance, he turns his head towards the concrete doors, then to the surrounding area, then to you. “No one could've stopped it. We just have to deal with it now.”

You gulp, trying to blink away the tears that keep building up. “Yeah, I know.”

Gally places his hand on your shoulder again, and you shudder at the feeling. You're not sure anyone's touched you at all since you got here. Sure, the occasional tap to get your attention, or a grab at your arm to get you going in the right direction (courtesy of Alby back when you first got here and tried heading straight for the open doors). But, never more than that. And it made you realize how badly you wanted someone to hold you. But, has that ever happened before?

Before this, you can't recall much. It all comes back to words you're not sure how you discovered, despite the meaning being all too clear, blurry faces, and a dreadful feeling that never faded. Before this, were you held? Surely, you were held as a baby, but were you loved? Did you have a mom? (A word you knew the meaning to, yet not the memory). Perhaps a sibling? (Something you're sure you'd get tired of given your experience here). Who loved you?

The question swirls around your head as Gally leads you back. You're not too sure where he's taking you. Perhaps he's going to lock you up for the night. You wouldn't put it past him. You liked Gally, despite his attitude. But you're fully aware that he never goes easy on anyone, and that's not going to change with you.

It certainly didn't change with the new greenie, but you think Gally might just have something personal against the kid. You didn't feel anything towards Thomas, really. Suspicion, sure, but aside from that, you couldn't bring yourself to get near him. Something about him just seemed… wrong. But, maybe that's just Gally's influence. You did favor him a bit.

It's only when the boy in question comes to a full stop that you realize where you are. You're in the wooded area, probably not too far from the Deadheads. You certainly don't want to go there at a time like this. You don't want to think about the fact that Ben won't be there. There's a hand on your arm, pulling you closer, and it's only then that you remember you're here with Gally.

“What's up with you?” He asks, looking you up and down.

Then you remember he's just another glader. He's not special. He's not special to you. You don't think the two of you are even friends, and yet here you are, separating him from the rest of the glade in your mind. Of course, he's suspicious, too.

“I'm not stung.” You defend weakly, trying and failing to pull yourself out of his grip. “I'm sorry for scaring everyone.”

“I know that.” Gally hisses out, as if offended at the very idea of you being stung.

You pause, staring up at him with a bewildered expression.

“I mean, what's wrong?” He whispers out, as if afraid of prying ears. His eyes, however, are hopeful as he awaits your response, as if there were a right answer to how you feel.

You gulp, feeling as if you might puke the longer he looks at you. He's not special. He's not special. You're not special. “I, uhm, I'm just scared.”

“Of what's going to happen next?” He ponders, hands slowly reaching towards your shoulders.

“Yeah, and… I'm–” you pause, the tears you had been holding back coming to fruition once more. “--I wish that didn't happen to Ben. He didn't deserve it.”

Gally’s hands have a tight hold on your shoulders, bringing you closer. “Yeah,” He stops, pressing his lips together as he continues. “Yeah, I feel the same way.”

You spare a glance at his face, utterly confused by this whole ordeal. Tears run down your cheeks, and you sniffle as his hands grow closer to your neck.

“Why do you think it happened?” He asks as his thumbs press against your collarbone. You can't tell if it's on purpose or not, but the pressure causes your mind to reel.

“I–I, uh, I don't know.” You wet your lips with your tongue, eyes darting between Gally and his hands. “What… what do you think?”

A grin grows on his face, as if you had just told him he won the lottery. The change in expression brings a heat to your face that you desperately hope he doesn't notice. Because you're not special, not to Gally.

“That new greenie, Thomas, came here the day before it happened. That's strange, isn't it?” His hands wrap around your neck, but they don't squeeze. They simply hold.

“Um…” his thumbs rub against your jaw, and you find yourself nodding.

“Exactly, and I bet you more is going to happen the longer he stays.” Just as his hands meet your face, Gally pulls away, and you're embarrassed to find yourself missing his warmth. “Right?”

You nod, if only so that he might touch you again. His grin grows at your agreement, and his hands land on your shoulders once more. He drags you closer to him, and you can't help but look at him like he’s everything. And, maybe he is.

“You're smart, see? I knew you were smart.” You try not to smile at his praise, all too aware that you were putty in his hands. “I need your help, okay? Alby and Minho are going out tomorrow morning, got it?”

You hurriedly nod.

“And I know something’s going to happen. No one else can see it, but I know. Thomas shouldn't be here.”

You have nothing against Thomas. You thought he was kind of sweet, if not annoying at times. He seemed heroic, but with such little knowledge on how the maze worked, he came off as arrogant instead. You're sure he's not a bad kid, but you find yourself agreeing with Gally despite this.

“Perfect, I knew you'd understand. Will you have my back? No one else understands but you.”

You nod, and before you know it, Gally's pulling you into a hug. And for just a moment, you question his words. Why is Gally talking to you like this all of a sudden? Why is he acting as if you're all he has? And, most of all, why are you reciprocating? You're not special. You're not special and you know that. But…

Gally squeezes you tighter, his arms wrapped around your torso as he smiles. “I knew I could count on you.”

But, he makes you feel special. And even though you know he's growing a grudge against a kid who hasn't done any wrong as far as you know, you simply hold him tighter. You know this isn't right, plotting against someone like Thomas, but you feel special in his arms, so you just breathe in his scent. You know Gally's going to get worse and worse the more you indulge him, the more you agree that his hate for Thomas is justified, but when Gally holds you, you can't help but feel loved. And maybe that's exactly what Gally wants.

The Maze Runner

Requested by BåůmŠquåd W187 on Quotev

"We can make it out of here. I know that."

There was silence for a few seconds in the Glade as they let those words sink in.

And just like that, like the breeze blowing by, guys who were on their side started making their way to Thomas, mumbling quiet apologies to them.

Gally and (M/n) made brief eye contact, unsure of what to do next.

"It's over," their sight shifted back ahead of them, "Just come with us..." Despite Thomas' words being directed to all of them, his eyes were locked onto (M/n)'s, it was clear who he wanted to have by his side.

He stared at Thomas, at Teresa, and all the guys he called friends standing in front of him, ready to go into the Maze and maybe, find their way out. (M/n) looked at each one of them, at Minho, at Newt, at Fry, at Winston, and he soon remembered all of those who weren't here with them to witness what was happening.

Some of his best friends were waiting for him to come with them, but he couldn't do it.

He couldn't leave Gally just like that, not after everything they'd been through together.

(M/n) sighed and turned his head to look at Gally, whose eyes were locked on him, not even acknowledging all the other guys staring at them. Green eyes looked into (e/c) ones, pleading (M/n) to stay, terribly scared that he might leave him too.

It broke his heart to see Gally so vulnerable, his hand gripping onto the back of his dirty and worn shirt, trembling as the seconds went by, beginning to feel desperate at the thought of (M/n) actually deciding to go with Thomas into the Maze.

And the weak smile Gally received from him almost made him double over, wanting to wail and cry for him to stay.

(M/n) took a deep breath as he turned to look at the others, silently waiting for his response, hoping they would come along as well, but that's not what they got.

"Good luck against the Grievers," everyone saw how determined to stay (M/n) was, and some of them felt the need to stay, as if they'd changed their mind, no longer sure of their choice.

However, before they could make their way back to Gally, Thomas called to them and ran into the Maze, soon followed by those whose resolution didn't waver and the hesitant steps of those who did.

They watched how they left and got out of their sight when they rounded the corner.

It took a bit, but everyone left in the Glade began making their way to what was left of their home, and (M/n) wondered how things were gonna go now.

Will they survive? If so, for how long?

He couldn't take even a single step forward when Gally's arms wrapped around him, tightly. He was shaking and sniffing on his neck as he cried. Silently, he rubbed Gally's back slowly, whispering in his ear that everything was gonna be alright.

"It'll be fine. Things will get better."

If only he could believe his words.

//////

They tried. Everyone did.

Ten guys against two Grievers didn't sound too hard, but it didn't sound easy either. They tried their damnest and succeeded, but at what cost?

Everyone was dead, or dying, and nothing could be done.

(M/n) got up from the ground, and grabbed the spear a Glader had lost while running away before getting captured by one. He released a shaky sigh and cautiously started walking out of the Deadheads, everything was quiet.

The fight they had and all the screaming that echoed was now gone, it just disappeared, and the quietness did nothing to ease his freaked-out mind, sharpening his senses as he walked forward, trying to find anyone that could still be alive, but nothing.

And now he was panicking... What if he was the only one alive? What if...?

From afar, relatively close to the Maze Doors, he spotted someone, they were pulling apart the slimy flesh of the Griever and rummaging for something inside. A cylindrical device that beeped rather slow and quiet.

He got closer and saw them stand up to their full height. It was...

"Gally?" He whispered to himself, and he witnessed with horrified eyes how the blond ran into the Maze, alone and without a weapon, "Gally!"

The only logical thing he could do was run after him.

Navigating the Maze was hard, even if he had gone in a handful of times in the past, getting lost was easy, but he tried. It was weird that Gally seemed to know where he was going, and his legs trembled and shook as he struggled to catch up to him.

If he stayed quiet, he could hear the beeping of the device getting more frequent, and whether it was closer or further away, so he kept going, knowing that Gally was somewhere ahead of him and he wasn't gonna stop for (M/n) to catch up.

The sound of echoing footsteps reached his ears, and he ran faster, rounding the corner, stopping as he slipped and almost fell. He gasped for air and looked around.

(M/n) saw multiple Grievers dead, along with some of the guys that went along with Thomas, there was blood on the stone floor he was walking on, making dragging marks as they went over the edges on either side of him. Carefully peaking over, he realized he couldn't see the bottom, and he felt like his stomach was gonna spit through his mouth.

He took a deep breath, put the spear down, and slowly walked forward, and into the dark tunnel, following along it as he got closer to the light.

He knew better than to believe they were out of the Maze, everything felt off and unsettling. (M/n) stepped out of the tunnel and stepped into a long hallway, it extended to his left and to his right. He was unsure of which way he should go until he stepped on something gooey. It looked like Griever spit.

A set of footsteps left a mark on the floor heading into the hall on his right, and he walked that way, his hand unconsciously dragging along the wall he was closest to.

After a short while that felt a little too long, he came across a door that displayed 'exit' atop it, he rolled his eyes at the inconvenient comedic timing. Even so, he walked in.

An open door on the other side of the room made him groan as he covered his eyes, the sun was too bright and the air coming inside felt scorching hot. He stepped to the side where he didn't have to look at the light directly and soon, he got adjusted to the room.

He didn't see anything worth mentioning, just computers and scientists dead. He walked around the long table, seeing pictures of his friends on the monitors, labeled 'subjects' instead of their names.

He felt sick at the thought of just being treated like experiments, and he wondered where the rest of his friends had gone to. Maybe they were outside...?

His train of thought stopped when he looked down.

Lying by the door, was Chuck. Dead.

(M/n) froze for a few seconds, feeling tears gathering in his eyes as his brain processed what he was seeing. Slowly, he knelt on the ground next to Chuck and gently wrapped his arms around his body, he blinked and a few tears made their way down his dirty face, looking into his lifeless eyes.

He sweetly moved his curls away and pressed a kiss to his forehead, backing away and gently closing Chuck's eyes, letting him rest in peace. "Goodbye, little buddy."

He sighed and placed Chuck's body back on the floor, regretful that he didn't have a way to give him a proper burial. He deserved it, he was just a little kid.

His whole life was taken away by W.I.C.K.E.D, and (M/n) would do anything-

The frown on his face disappeared instantly the moment he looked up, his eyes landing on another body lying on the ground. He stood up and tried to make his way over to them, but his legs shook and quivered, his sight completely glossed over with tears as his bottom lip trembled, he could barely move, and the only thing keeping him moving was the adrenaline.

"Gally...?"

He mumbled, his hands shaking violently as he placed them on his face. Truth is, (M/n) didn't know what to do, just cry and hold Gally close.

There isn't much he can remember from that moment, but he recalls the sound of various vehicles stopping outside before making their way inside the facility.

"We've got a survivor!" One of them screamed and they approached him, these people had tactical gear and masks covering their faces.

And they were trying to pull him away from Gally.

"No! Let go of me! Gally!" (M/n) managed to elbow the guy holding him on the stomach, getting free from his grip and crawling his way back to Gally, "I'm not gonna leave you, okay? I'm not..."

His body shook with each sob he released, blinking away the tears to be able to see Gally's face clearly, wanting to engrave it in his memory. But then again, he was being pulled away from him.

He groaned and kicked, pulling his arms away from the foreign hands holding him back, "I won't leave him! Stop, let me go!" His voice broke, desperately pleading to these people to just let him stay there with Gally.

There was no point in living if Gally wasn't gonna be there with him, reminding him to eat all three meals, to mess up his hair with a playful smile, to show him his drawings, to hear his beautiful laugh, and to comfort him when he didn't feel worthy. He couldn't live if Gally was gone.

"I can't... Gally..." He whimpered and made a last attempt at freeing himself again but to no avail.

"Sir! He's still alive!"

(M/n) saw a spark of hope in the dark tunnel he found himself inside of, and he felt like he was moving toward it, needing the hope to be able to continue.

"Save... Save him! Please, save him!" He yelled at them, as he stopped fighting their hold, and he watched how they stabilized the spear through his chest to cut the handle off. He had refused to leave, struggling against these people again, who decided against it and simply stayed put, "Can I... Can I go with... With him?" He asked between gasps, "Please, let me... Go with him..."

One of the guys holding him released his grip, moving to help the other group get Gally on a stretcher and take him outside to their van.

(M/n) was taken outside in the scorching sun as it began setting, and he started squirming and screaming when he realized he was being taken to another vehicle than Gally.

"Fuck off!" He pushed the man behind him and ran toward the group of four carrying Gally onto the van, and he got in, closing the door behind him. Seeing as he hadn't run away or caused any other major problem, everyone got in their car and drove off.

(M/n) felt his eyelids heavy, but he refused to fall asleep, observing closely what they were doing to Gally to keep him alive.

From what he heard, it was bad, and it would be a miracle if he survived, but he clung to that hope.

He clung onto the possibility of a miracle occurring.

//////

The days that followed felt like a blur.

(M/n) was glad that Gally was still alive, and he hadn't been able to thank the doctor that saved him yet which upset him, but he couldn't leave his side. He had especially learned how to clean his wound and change his bandages, just to have an excuse to be with him, take care of him, and wait for him to wake up.

It was painful, really. He had been told Gally would wake up eventually, but they didn't know when it would happen, how they were unsure if there would be any other issues within his body, and (M/n) was constantly on edge, sitting by his side, sleeping on the worn couch in the infirmary, talk to him about the good memories they had back in the Glade, and where they were.

Even if Gally couldn't hear him or know he was there, he still did, because he cared, and he was scared.

The image of Gally's body lying on that cold floor would flood his subconscious every night, and he was convinced that he would never fully believe or realize that Gally was still alive.

It was early morning at the base, and he had just been taken to the cafeteria by the doctor, Lauren, to eat something. He couldn't, but he tried, for her.

They stayed silent, and after enough time had gone past, (M/n) got up and left, apologizing to her and heading back to the infirmary. It was hard to stay away from Gally for longer than twenty minutes, he couldn't do it.

He sighed and opened the door, expecting to see him there on his bed, still in a coma, just... Waiting for a miracle. But no, Gally was awake.

He was looking around the room, slowly, frowning at the sunlight coming through the slightly open blinds, setting a glass of water -the one he left there- down, when he heard the door being opened. Then, his green eyes, which had been devoid of all emotion, landed on him, shining brightly as they regained their usual glow.

"(M/n)...?" His voice was hoarse and raspy, probably from not being used, and (M/n) found himself shocked in place, looking at Gally as if he wasn't real.

He took a step forward and struggled to take a breath, his eyes filling with tears as he approached Gally, who was also getting emotional at the sight of (M/n) there, by his side, alive.

"Gally," he whispered his name, his voice trembling as he did so, and he got closer to the bed he was lying on. He held his face in his hands, and they looked at each other as if they couldn't believe it, smiling and chuckling between tears, "I missed you, so much," (M/n) hugged him, careful of not hurting him, his face buried on his neck, wetting his skin with his tears.

"Sorry, I... Kept you waiting..." The sound of his voice brought shivers to (M/n)'s back, and he couldn't resist.

He lifted his head away from Gally and leaned in to press their lips together, with no hesitation. Gally gasped in surprise but smiled against (M/n)'s lips and kissed him back.

Their lips moved against each other slowly, and Gally sighed through his nose at the feeling of (M/n)'s hands holding his face gently, his hand lifting to intertwine his fingers to his (curly/wavy/straight) hair, tugging on it weakly, feeling shivers down his body at the quiet satisfied hum he released.

Unfortunately, their kiss was cut short when Gally's breath faltered, reluctantly pushing (M/n) away to regain his breathing. The stinging pain in his chest worked to bring foggy memories back, but he was scared to ask just yet.

"Sorry, are you okay?" (M/n)'s hand moved through his hair, observing him attentively, and Gally felt his face getting hot, knowing he was blushing when (M/n) smiled at him, chuckling and leaning closer again, placing a kiss to his forehead, "I'm so happy you're awake, Gally."

He smiled back at him, "And im happy... You're here with me, (M/n)," at that moment, nothing else mattered to them.

They had each other again, and that's all they could ever ask for, or need.

[raidenssblog]

He's hard to talk to, really reluctant to engage in a conversation and dosent intend on getting close. But by some holy miracle you shimmy you way into his heart, before he knows it he's already head over hells.

Everytime you two pass ways he's always feels his heart race and palms get sweaty. The tips of his ears heat up and he shifts around while trying to look calm.

The admiration he has for you is through the roof, tho he wouldn't tell you that yet. The way his eyes unintentionally follow your every move and every aspect of your body, to the way he dreams about you.

Finally sucking in a deep breath before telling you about his feelings. You look in utter shock, these feelings of his went completely over your head. You though it was a one way love.

Guess you were wrong.

GALLY TAGLIST: @misskaysposts @letshaveimagines @magicalxdaydream @hehehehannahthings

- The other Gladers being confused as to how it even happened in the first place because to them and Gally, you deserved better but out of everyone you could've possibly chosen to fall in-love with, you chose him. Or at least that's what the others said

"I didn't choose to fall in-love with him." You confessed to one of your best-friends, Newt.

"So do you regret it?" He asked.

"No, not at all." You replied as a soft smile graced your face.

Unbeknownst to the two of you, standing on the other side of the tree stood a now flustered Gally who felt like butterflies had suddenly entered his stomach.

- It was odd at first, mainly because of the reaction the other Gladers gave but in their defense, how could they not. The mean ole Keeper of The Builders who was quick to send someone to the Slammer suddenly acting like not an asshole? That’s something you don’t see everyday.

- Except as your relationship with Gally grew stronger, the other Gladers did see the softer, more romantic side of him. Much to their dismay.

- It wasn’t that they hated the relationship, they were glad that the two of you were happy but it was simply the fact that the softer side that Gally reserved for you was something they never expected for him to have, let alone show!

- The first time the others got to see the softer side of Gally was when you had gotten hurt and was stuck in the Med Jack’s hut for a few days. After raining hell on the other Gladers for even letting you get hurt in the first place, they all watched as his demeanour visibly softened as he went to comfort you. Pressing a kiss to the top of your head as you leaned against his chest, the other boys found it hard to believe what they just saw and it wasn’t until Gally noticed that they finally moved,

“Don’t you shanks have work to do? Or are you going to keep staring?”

- Slowly though, as the others became more used to Gally’s mood immediately brightening when you were in a three meter radius of him, they thankfully stopped looking shell-shocked whenever he would show any sort of affection to you, though, it didn’t mean they weren’t surprised.

- The other Gladers, and you included actually, were always surprised at the little things he’d do like picking flowers for you because he knew you liked them, or building you a hut for the two of you to sleep in because you complained of the boys snoring at night disrupting your sleep.

- Of course, as Gally’s soft side became a usual sight to see whenever he was around you, this meant that teasing started happening. A lot of teasing.

“Gotten soft now have we?”

“Shuck off before you spend the night in the slammer for slacking off!”

- If he were to even spend a second looking at you when he wasn’t supposed to be, he’d better hope no one caught him.

“Pretty breathtaking they are.”

“Oh shove off!”

- He’d become this flustered and soft boy because while what they say is true, he never thought he’d ever be experiencing this. It felt new, the things he was now feeling because of you and he didn’t know if he had felt these feelings before the Glade but he didn’t mind. Regardless of who he may have had before, it didn’t matter because he now had you

- When Thomas came up in the box, things started going South fairly quickly

- In the span of three weeks he had managed to become a runner, not to mention breaking several rules doing so, and all while trying to find an escape from the maze

- That night when Minho shoved a spear through Gally’s chest, you barely remember being lifted up from the ground and onto the berg. It was hard for you to peel your eyes off of him but it wasn't until he was finally out of sight that you lowered your head and instead opted to stare at the floor for the rest of the trip, not quite sure how to react or feel after the event you had experienced. He had just killed Chuck but he was also stung. But that would also mean, with the spear now through his chest, that he’d be dead....

- The ride was silent. No one spoke, and if they did then the conversation was short-lived before the soft hum of the berg was the only sound you could hear

- Knowing how hard it must've been for you, even though he was also grieving, Newt spent most of his time with you. Not that you complained of course. Aside from Gally, Newt was one of your best-friends, even if the two boys were always tense around each-other. They managed to push it aside for your sake, or at least they often tried to

- Entering the Scorch, because the maze was apparently not enough for WICKED, Newt started to become more protective over you. He knew that you were more than capable of fending for yourself— Gally made sure you knew how to because even he knew he wouldn't be able to protect you forever, but that didn't help with the growing worry that something might happen to you whether it was intentional or not.

- When WICKED discovers their location in the mountains while a doctor tended to Brenda's bite, WICKED manages to not only destroy their base but take Minho along with them. It only takes an ounce of hope from Thomas for you and your friends to agree on working on a plan to save Minho, even if there were some protests. Mainly that from Newt

"(Y/N) I don't want you going." Newt said as he walked into your room that you had already started packing up.

"Well it's a good thing that I don't care." You scoffed in response. Shoving the last of your minimal belongings into a bag, you got up to leave when the blond blocked your way.

"I'm being serious-"

"And so am I. '' You cut him off as you crossed your arms against your chest. From your tone to body language, it was like you were challenging him and luckily for you, you weren't in the Glade anymore so his 'Second in Command' title meant nothing.

Newt let out a sigh of defeat knowing there was no use in arguing with you. "It'll be dangerous."

A smirk grew on your lips as you realized you had won before replying. "Nothing I can't handle."

"I know," He said as he pulled you into a hug. "I know."

Silence filled the room as you two stood there in each-others soft embrace. Not sure if this would be the last time you'd be able to spare a hug. This could be a death mission for all you knew.

"We're leaving at sunset, get some food and rest if you can, it won't be an easy ride." He told you as he pulled away from the hug.

- After months of finalizing the plan and pinpointing every detail to a t, it finally came the day to act on it but just as you began to believe that it would go according to plan, WICKED managed to slip through your fingers as you all realized Minho was no longer there

-This time, with absolutely no more time to waste, you joined Newt, Thomas and Frypan in going to the Last City to find Minho. The plan this time was simple: get Minho back and stay alive.

- While the plan consisting of only two parts seemed fairly simple, you had failed to consider just how your life was never anything close to simple. Because here you were, surrounded by men in gas masks strapped with rifles with the boy you had fallen in love with and had thought was dead, standing right before you.

"Hey." He said, unsure of how to start this conversation. It was especially hard with so many people around watching you both

You stood there still shocked, a million thoughts and doubts running through your mind as you struggled to believe the sight before you. Hoping this wasn't another dream, you walked over to him and wrapped your arms around him, practically melting into his touch as he held you tightly.

"You're here, you're really here." You mumbled as your mind failed to believe that he was really here.

"Can't let my last moment with you be while I was stung." He joked as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head. "I'm here baby, I'm still here."

As you managed to slow your breathing and take in the fact that he was alive and well, you lifted your face up from your chest to whisper in his ear. "Do they have to stand here with their guns?" Referencing to the men still surrounding you. Guns in hand and ready to fire if they were ordered to.

Gally chuckled, momentarily forgetting that they were still on guard, before waving his hand to dismiss them. The men nodded and quickly left, leaving the two of you, along with the rest of your friends, alone to further discuss how to finally get Minho back.

(The Maze Runner) Imagine: He Protects You

It can be dangerous, especially for the only girl in the Glade.

Warnings: Guys being creeps in the Glade (nothing graphic), bullying, the Maze, danger.

. . .Thomas. . .

It’s a beautiful evening in the Glade.  You’re walking straight along the treeline on your way to run a final errand for Alby at the end of the day.  The sun is no longer visible, as it already descended far enough to be blocked by the walls.

Suddenly, you get the creeps.  It was hard to explain, but you feel goosebumps bloom along your skin, and you get the distinct feeling that you’re not alone.  The lovely glow of the bonfire is in your field of vision, but it’s so far away. It’s where most of the guys are gathered.  You can hear their distant whoops and hollers, reminding you that help is far away too.

A twig snaps, and your suspicions are confirmed.  There’s a figure following several feet behind you, lurking in the shadows cast from the trees above.

So, you veer off your original path to draw closer to the homestead where there would hopefully be someone who hadn’t made it to the bonfire yet.  Whoever it was must have caught on to what you were doing because they instantly pick up their pace.  You begin to hurry, increasing your speed so that they can’t catch you before you make it to what you hope will be a haven of safety.

Your heart is pounding, and your chest heaving with panicked breaths as you finally make it to the homestead.  

“Hello?” you call frantically.  

Suddenly, Thomas appears.  He sees your nervous state immediately, his hand taking yours.  But then his eyes lock onto something behind you, and he moves right past you to intercept your pursuer, effectively blocking them from you.

“What’s going on?” he demands.  Your follower is frozen to the spot, stuttering, failing miserably to offer up some sort of explanation.  Thomas steps forward, towering over the guy.  It’s plain to see that he is furious.  His forearms flex and his jaw is clenched.  You can hear his angry breaths as he speaks again.  “That’s what I thought.  Now, get out of here.”

As soon as the guy is gone, Thomas turns around to face you.  His close presence eases your fearful state when he steps into your space, filling your nose with his scent. “You okay?” he asks gently.

You manage a nod.

“We’re going to tell Alby right away.  This isn’t going to happen to you again.  Come here…” He carefully pulls you into his arms for an embrace, as if you’ll break apart if he’s too sudden. You bury your face in his chest, breathing a sigh of relief.  His heartbeat is close to your ears, like a lullaby.

“Thank you…” you whispered.

. . . Newt . . .

You couldn’t take it anymore.

The teasing, the taunts… The inability of certain individuals to just leave you alone.  Ever since you’d rejected him, Allan had made it his life’s mission to make your existence in the Glade all the more difficult.

Most recently, he had purposely bumped into you at lunchtime so that your meal was spilled all over your clothes and onto the ground.  Resources were limited in the Glade.  It was understood that wastefulness wouldn’t be tolerated.  You couldn’t afford to lose food or have clothing ruined.  Fortunately, your clothes would be fine after a wash, but the discarded food was a different story.

You dab at your tank top with a washcloth and pause to look at your reflection in the mirror.  It was all too easy to recall how quickly you’d reached your limit after Allan’s ridiculous ploy.  Your face is still wet from crying, eyes puffy, and lips parted as you took deep breaths.

There’s no use crying over spilled milk, you thought. Or in my case, spilled lunch.

After composing yourself, you decide it’s time to go back out there and face the music. You toss the damp rag aside and march determinedly out of the empty washroom.  To your surprise, you smack right into another individual coming in.  You instantly recognize the blonde hair and grumbles of complaint as he reels from the collision.

“Oi, shank, watch where you’re going-”  Newt quickly realizes it’s you and clamps his mouth shut, extending his hands to each of your shoulders to steady you gently.  He takes in the sight of your tear-stained face with his eyes showing clear concern.  “Hey, what’s gotten into you?”

“Oh, just… Nothing. It’s nothing.”

Newt looks far from convinced, and you lower your gaze.  He’s about to inquire further, but a familiar voice sounds from outside the washroom.

“Hey, _______!” Allan calls tauntingly, making you freeze up.  “How’s it going in there?”

Newt’s eyes instantly flash, and his face scrunches up anger.  You can hardly believe it when Allan continues.

“Sorry about my clumsiness earlier.  Maybe I can make it up to you.  Come on out before I go in there!”

Newt can’t contain himself anymore.  He turns on his heel and heads out of the washroom, and you follow behind just to see the look on Allan’s face when he realizes he’s been caught.

It is so worth it.  Allan’s stupid grin falls hard into a look of horror as the Second-in-Command approaches him furiously.  He doesn’t lay a hand on him, but he looks like he’s awfully close when he jabs a pointer finger in his direction.

“If I ever catch you bothering her, or even breathing in her general direction again, you’ll be a permanent Slopper for the rest of your time here in the Glade.  Do you understand, shank?”

Allan nods quickly, and doesn’t even wait to be dismissed.  He just hurries away, leaving you and Newt both standing there watching him flee.

“Coward,” he mumbles.  Then, Newt turns to you, resting a hand on your arm in a comforting gesture.  “I mean it, you know.  He’ll never bother you again.”

. . . Minho . . .

It’s hard not to panic when you glance up and can no longer see the sun above you. It’s the end of the day, and you’re nearly out of time.  The lightning pain that shoots through your ankle suddenly just becomes too much.  You lean against one of the ivy-covered walls and exhale.

“I don’t think I’m going to make it,” you say aloud, and the words weigh heavily on you.  You mentally scold yourself.  You can’t afford to think that way.  A Runner knows better.  With a wince, you continue limping on your way.  It’s not that the exit from the Maze isn’t close.  If memory serves you right (which it did), it wasn’t too far at all… but at your pace, it would take a lot of effort and some good luck to get you back in time.

Just when you are about to give up again, you hear footsteps rapidly approaching.  Your first thought is that perhaps your cowardly companion had a change of heart, but the footsteps didn’t match.

“Hello?” you call.

“_________!” Minho’s voice responds, and your heart swells with hope.  You aren’t out of the woods just yet, but your chances were much better with help. Minho nearly slides to a stop in front of you, instantly taking your arm and putting it around his broad shoulders to help you up.  There is no time to stop and compare notes, so you update him as he begins helping you back along the path.

“I sprained my ankle.” You hold onto Minho like he’s your lifeline as you push through the pain to keep up with his pace.  He’s right to go so fast.  Time is running out.

“Where’s Derek?” he asks with a grunt.

“He…he left me,” you gasp in pain.  “I think he was worried he wouldn’t make it out in time if he helped me.”

Minho goes quiet for a moment, and you can practically feel the anger rolling off him in waves.  His eyes are focused straight ahead at the path, and he huffs.  Finally, he bites out a sarcastic comment. “I think it’s safe to say that he’s getting demoted from being a Runner.”

You keep talking, trying to distract the both of you from the familiar groan of the Maze walls shifting.  “Why did you come out here?”

“Because it was getting late in the day, and no one had seen you,” he pants.  “Usually, you check in with me right away.  I knew something had to be wrong.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me yet.”

You continue limping with all your might toward the gate, feeling your heart jump, as the walls on either side begin their agonizingly slow crawl to a close.  There’s a small group standing on the other side, ushering you both out anxiously.  It was mostly Keepers, a select few who had been informed of the problem by Minho.

The two of you fell onto the green grass, gasping for breath, while the others surrounded you.  Alby knelt down beside you, resting a hand on your shoulder.  You just let yourself breathe, tears welling up in your eyes from relief.

“So it’s true?” Gally questioned, brows raised.  “Derek left her in there.” “Yes,” Minho replied, sitting up.  “And he will face the consequences.”  He looked over at you, finally catching his breath.  “You’re safe now.”

. . . Gally . . .

James had been haunting your steps for far too long.  He was always there, always hanging around, and sometimes showing up at the most alarming of instances.  What could be done about it?  It wasn’t as if he’d taken severe enough action to warrant disciplinary measures, you thought.  He was only ever seen staring at you, smirking, and just being an all-around jerk at times.

This time, he’d snatched your tools away from your working station while your back was turned. After uncovering a particularly tough old root, you turned around to get a spade to chop it up, only to see that your things were gone.

A few laughs caught your attention, and you glanced over to see James and one of his shadows standing there, staring at you from several feet away.  You couldn’t say for certain, but it seemed like they had something to do with your missing tools.

So, now you’re debating with yourself on the best course of action.  Do you ignore him and try to rustle up some extra tools from Newt or Zart?  Or do you bother to give this shank the attention he’s so desperately seeking to get your stuff back?

You don’t really like the latter option.  Frankly, James gives you the creeps. The last thing you want is to play his little game… But every minute that you spend deliberating is wasted time that could be put towards helping the Glade.

As much as you despise indulging him, you find yourself marching right over to his work area.  Both James and his minion are laughing in amusement, shoving each other at the sight of you approaching.

“Do you know where my tools went?” you ask, pinching the bridge of your nose.

“I might,” James replies cryptically.  “And I might be willing to strike up a bargain for that information.”

You fold your arms across your chest.  “What could you possibly want?”

“Ohh, I don’t know…Perhaps a kiss will do.”

You make a face as the disgust hits you.  “Seriously?”

“Do I look like I’m kidding?”

“Yeah, that’s going to be a ‘no’ for me.”  You wave off the concept, turning around.  You decided that your best bet is to find some spare tools.  This just wasn’t worth all the trouble.  Just as you start to leave, James comes running around to block you.

“Hey now, I didn’t say you could go.”

“Yeah, you might want to think about his offer,” James’ lackey said from behind you.  The two of them close in, and you clench your fists in preparation to fight.  If you make enough commotion, you’re sure that someone will notice and come to your aid.

You give him one last chance.  “Let me pass.”

“Come on, just one kiss.  Unless you want more than one after that-” to your relief, James is cut off by a new voice interjecting.

“What’s going on here?” The three of you turn to see Gally standing there, sweating from whatever project he was working on,with dirt and wood shavings on his clothes.  His expression looks expectant as he waits for an explanation, though his tall and bulky form makes him appear positively dangerous as he stares the two guys down with his hands resting on his hips.

“I, uh.. We…”  They break off in stutters and fumbled words.

“I’m fairly certain they have my tools,” you say, and Gally’s famous arched brows raise at the two guys in disbelief.

“Is that so?” As Gally walks forward, he plants his palms harshly on James’ shoulder, shoving him clear out of the way. James stumbles unceremoniously, almost falling straight into the grass.  Gally walks over to the bench and pauses.  He picks up a bundle of leather and tosses it to you, the tools rattling inside.  “Are those yours?”

You recognize it immediately.  “Yes, these are the ones.”

“You shanks had better never even speak to her again.  Understand?” He stares at each of them pointedly with all the authority of a Keeper, and they both nod.  With that, Gally walks up to you and ushers you away with a warm, gentle hand on your back protectively.

“Your timing was impeccable,” you say quietly.  “Thank you.”

“They won’t bother you again.  I’ll make sure of it.”

“I think you already have,” you chuckle.

🎀!who only has a soft spot for you

thinking about! gally who only has a soft spot for you ♡

🎀:: includes, glader!gally, dating him in the glade, fluff, head-canons (how i think he’d act in a relationship), and you!

-🎀-

thinking about! gally who’s hands can cause so much damage in the fighting circle but when he goes to touch you he handles you with the upmost care. as if you’re a fragile china set that’ll break at the smallest interference.

thinking about! gally who isn’t one to break rules around the glade going out of his way to find loopholes to make exceptions just for you. “i said no one could take extra plates - but you barely ate today so here,”

thinking about! gally who isn’t one to care about what others do (unless they aren’t doing their job) to suddenly becoming the most observant and concerned person you know after you officially started dating. you could be handling a semi-dangerous tool from across the glade and he’d just appear out of nowhere just to take it off of you. making excuses like “you don’t have the right grip for that,” when really, he just doesn’t want you to get hurt.

thinking about! gally who’s tough and harsh when he speaks to the others but only ever lowers his voice when it comes to you. you can see the way his shoulder slowly loosens and how he slightly undoes the tension in his jaw. he always listens intently, to what you have to say even biting back his usual sarcasm.

thinking about! gally who’d drop anything he’s doing to help you out. if you’re struggling, if you’re in distress - he’s there. no hesitation, no question’s needed. anything to help lighten the load for the one person he loves.

thinking about! gally, who’s known to be stubborn and hotheaded among the gladers, someone who hardly ever admits when he’s wrong. even you aren’t inexperienced when it comes to seeing him get angry. so imagine your surprise when you heard that foreign phrase: “i’m sorry,” being muttered under his breath after your first argument as a couple.

thinking about! gally who’d change his attitude just for you. for you he’d try to be better. if that means, changing his behaviour or even being more patient with newer greenies (which. is. a. pain) but he’d do it all for you - just to see that pretty smile on your face or hear your loving compliments. he hates to admit it but you’ve softened him up but he wouldn’t have it any other way. after all, you’re the only person who can make this prison-dump tolerable.

Gally: go marry it then

[kyasarinkishinuma]

"Can’t you see!? Look right in here (Y/N),’’ he pointed at one of his teary eyes, ‘’look right in there and you’ll see the person who killed Chuck! The monster that I am!!’’

The words stung. Not because they hurt you, but because it was so clear that the one you loved believed so firmly in them, and it was reducing him to this crushed state.

Staring right back into his eyes, you muttered calmly, ‘’All I see in there is guilt and pain, Gally. I see that the person that I love is hurt.’’
