the maze runner : thomas

drunken mishaps part 2
"good morning greenie." newt said as i joined him to see off the other runners. "newt come on i'm not the greenie anymore." i whined as i rubbed my tired eyes. "oh slim it y/n, you know you like being called greenie. but why are you up this early? you aren't due up for at least another hour or so. does someone wanna see their little runner off?" he smirked at me. "newt no. okay newt yes but i also couldn't sleep. i woke up and just didn't want to lay in bed anymore and no i'm not hungover even though i should be." i sassed at him and within minutes the runners were at the doors, including thomas. "hey thomas." newt said. "hey newt." he said joined newt side, not noticing me yet. i rubbed my eyes again yawning a bit which caught thomas' attention. "oh hey y/n. how are you feeling?" he asked smiling a bit. "i feel fine honestly. no hangover here." i smiled back at him. "did i do anything stupid last night? the last thing i remember is sitting in a tree." i laughed. newt and thomas exchanged a glance. "no y/n you didn't at least not to me." newt said. "not to you? thomas did i do something?" i asked. "well i did have to save you from the tree you climbed up but um, uh nope nothing else." he said nervously. "how long till you guys go out?" i asked turning towards the doors. "uh a few minutes, maybe like ten, why?" thomas questioned. i grabbed both of their wrists and pulled them down to the ground. "let's enjoy the morning before thomas has to leave." i said, taking in the glade. it was foggy still, the grass a tad bit wet from the morning dew. the sky was a light blue. the sun wasn't up over the walls yet, it was just leaking out on its side of the walls. the clouds were faint and the chirps of the bugs and birds were dwindling. the glade smelled fresh and free. everyone was still asleep so it was quiet too. besides minho and the runners gearing up for the day. it was one of my favorite things. "i don't know why i don't get up every morning with you guys. this is beautiful and the glade is rarely ever this pretty." i sighed. "what if we make it a tradition? every other day we come out and do this. but we wake up earlier so we have more time together." thomas asked more to me than newt. "i'd love that tommy." i smiled at him. newt agreed with a simple head nod. "alright well i gotta go y/n. i'll be back soon. you gonna wait at the doors for me?" "always thomas." thomas hugged me and he high fived newt then he was on his way into the maze. newt watched as my foot tapped eagerly against the ground. "it doesn't get any easier newt." i said to him locking eyes with my shoes. "i know y/n i know. but one day it won't be as hard. you just gotta let him go." he said placing his arm on my shoulder. thomas turned around and waved to us before he quickly ran right. i sighed. "newt i'm not even his yet and watching him run out into the maze hurts everyday. what if he doesn't come back?" i spoke, looking up to him. "he will y/n. he always does. he never lets us down. now come on let's go get breakfast. frys gonna be up soon." he said tugging me along. i turned my head toward the doors as we walked off. telling myself he would come back.
   hours passed, newt and i finished our jobs for the day and now we were sitting at the doors. "newt he should've been back by now right? i mean all the other runners are here, him and minho are always the last ones back but it's been a bit. look at the sun." i said pointing to the sky. "you might be right but thomas will come back. he always does." newt said, standing up from the dirt. i glared at him. "oh come on greenie don't give me that look." he sighed standing next to me. "thomas will come back." he spoke putting an arm around me. i leaned into my best friend.
     we stared at the doors in silence. the sun trickled down some more and at this point i was losing it. "newt, what if i just go in?" i said hysterically. "absolutely not y/n." he sassed. "well someone's gotta go in?!?" i yelled. "thomas is out there. what if he's hurt? minho's back. thomas is out there alone and no one. none of you want to do anything?!" i continued, staring at the other gladers who joined us. minho walked closer to me, "y/n. you know the rules. he has to make it back on his own. you have to trust him." he said putting his hands on my forearms. i shook them off, "don't you dare tell me not to trust him. i do minho and you know i do. the uncertainty is what i don't trust. he could be dead right now, and we just leave him?" i whispered, staring up at him with tears brimming my eyes. "alright, the doors are closing soon we should all head back and prepare for the night. go on." gally said, pushing everyone away including himself. newt stayed and sat next to me on the dirt. i twiddled with my fingers not daring to look up. the doors could close at any minute all hope was lost. i couldn't take it anymore. i knew what was coming. i closed my eyes and held my hands to my ears in attempt to block out the sound of the doors closing. i pulled my legs to my chest and tried to not pay attention to it. but soon enough i was throw from my ball into the dirt. "newt? what the-" i yelled standing up. completely furious at the fact that i lost thomas and now newt wants to throw me around. "why would you push me?" i yelled at him. "okay hey greenie, relax. i didn't push you." he spoke, holding his hands up. "what the hell do you mean? you didn't push me? someone did alright." i sassed. "you were right newt, she is kinda angry." i heard someone laugh. my face contorted in confusion. i know that voice. that voice is supposed to be stuck in the maze. "thomas?" i whispered turning around. "i told you i'd come back." i ran up to him and pushed his shoulders lightly. "you're a. i'm not calling you a shank, since we promised to not say that to each other but, THOMAS! WHAT THE HELL YOU KLUNK!" i screamed at him and i wrapped my arms around his waist. "if i wasn't so happy you came back, i would've ran off. don't scare me like that again." i said as i felt his heartbeat quicken. he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and cradled my head. "i'm sorry y/n. i just got caught up in the maze..again." he spoke as he held me. newt came up to us and smiled. i peaked my head out from thomas' chest. "what's the smile for?" i asked him, reluctantly sliding out of thomas' grasp. he slowly pulled his hand down from my head and let it linger on my own hand. he took it away though. "nothing i just think you two need to have a conversation. one i've been dying for you two to have." i turned to thomas slowly, making eye contact. "what conversation newt?" i said. "he already knows how you feel y/n." he deadpanned. my eyes bulged from my head, "what? what did you say?" i said, looking at the both of them. "yea y/n. remember how i said the only thing you did was climb and get stuck in a tree?" thomas asked. i nodded my head as newt took this as his cue to go. "well you also told me how you felt about me. you put your head in my lap and just spilled it all. which i thought was very adorable." he said with a smile and blush crawling up his cheeks. "oh my. i can't believe i did that." i said slapping my hands on my face. "what did i say?" i asked thomas. "well first you asked if you could put your head in my lap and when i said yes, you just stared at me. so newt called you an admirer and you spilt everything. you said you wanted to be mine. you wanted to kiss my dirty face after runs and hold my hand. you also wanted to sit somewhere in the glade and watch the stars." he breathed out, making eye contact with me. "so?" i asked scared of rejection. i felt his hand take mine. "i told you. that i can do that. i'd love to do that." he beamed down at me. "i don't exactly know if there's a name for people who are with other people. but y/n, i want you to be mine. so, would you like to be mine?" he asked as he rubbed circles on my hand. "i can do that thomas. i'd love too." i giggled at him. he let go of my hand slowly and wrapped his arms around my back pulling me into him. my arms pushed against his chest as he held me. we rocked back and forth in the middle of the glade. the grass swept below our feet as the sun set below the walls. the birds chirping chimes changed into cricket tunes as the gladers prepared the fire for themselves. the crackle of the fire was dimmed by the sound of newt walking up to us.
   "see there you go. my two greenies. FINALLY." he laughed as we pulled apart. thomas' hand flew down to mine and held it. "you two don't know how happy this makes me. y/n you don't even know how many times he would come up to me and just go on about you. same goes for you thomas." i leaned into thomas, "okay okay okay newt we get it. he gets in i've been in love with him since i came up." i heard thomas laugh and felt his chest rumble. we walked back to the mini fire newt had built for us by our hammocks and we stayed there for a bit till eventually. i leaned against thomas' shoulder again and fell asleep to the sound of my best friend and my love laughing.
