19 | the one where the other one arrived

''Y/n, wake up.''

Her eyes slowly opened, still blurry from sleep and unable to make out the figure standing in front of her. In her mind, there was only one possible person who could be standing there. ''Minho?''

''It's Gally.''

Blinking her sleep away, her eyes finally focused and realized that it really was Gally. She looked around, seeing that she was in a hammock with a blanket over her body.

And then it suddenly downed on her what had happened the day before. She looked down on the ground, feeling her eyes slightly watering. ''Minho . . .''

Gally placed a hand on her shoulder. ''The doors just opened.''

Y/n nodded and let Gally help her stand up, letting the thin blanket fall off her. Her legs still felt weak and she looked down at her hands, noticing red-stained bandages wrapped around them. She remembered hitting the stone walls countless of times before falling down and crying her eyes out before she fell asleep.

There was a sudden commotion at the doors. Gally and Y/n shared a look. ''YEAH! YES!'' Chuck's cheers were head and Y/n felt her heart beating faster. Leaving Gally behind, Y/n took off in a sprint towards the doors, coming to an abrupt stop at the sight in front of her.

There were Thomas and Minho, crouching down next to unconscious Alby — bloody and bruised, yes, but alive.

''You saw a Griever?'' Chuck's question was more of a surprised statement.

''Yeah, I saw one,'' Thomas answered.

''He didn't just see it,'' Minho spoke, still panting. ''he killed it.''

Y/n couldn't believe the sight in front of her. ''Minho . . .?''

At the call of his name, Minho looked up. And upon noticing Y/n, he quickly stood up. Despite how tired he was and how much his legs ached, he made his way towards her and wrapped his arms around her, letting his head drop on her shoulder. In the background, Newt ushered the others to take Alby to the Med-Hut and to leave the two alone.

Y/n thought after yesterday, she wouldn't have anymore tears left to cry. But as she held Minho, still alive and breathing, she couldn't help but start loudly sobbing into his shirt, not caring if she stained it. ''Holy shuck, you're alive.''

''Yeah,'' Minho breathed out, kissing the side of her head. ''Can't believe it myself.''

Y/n suddenly pushed him away, slapping his shoulder. ''You slinthead! I told you I should come with you, but noooo, Minho the Great can do it all on his own!'' Y/n complained before pulling him back into her arms again, burying her head in his shoulder. ''You shuckin' idiot. I was so scared.''

Minho couldn't help but let out a chuckle. ''I'm still here and I'm alive.''

''Thank shuck you are, 'cuz if you died, I would've killed you.'' Before Minho can speak, Y/n continued. ''Don't question my logic. I'm just relieved.''

Minho continued running his fingers through her hair, enjoying the warmth her body emitted. He couldn't believe he was still alive to be able to hold her like that. He wasn't sure how he managed to survive a whole night in the Maze, but if he could return to her again, he didn't care.

Minho looked up from her and noticed everyone running in the Homestead. ''I think we're having a meeting,'' Minho told her, pressing another kiss at the crown of her head. ''We should go.''

''Fine. But you're not leaving my side.''

He did have to leave her side at the end. Y/n grumpily sat down next to Chuck on the first roll of stone steps as the Keepers all stood in the front, Thomas sitting on a crate behind them. Chuck looked at her with a small smile. ''You feelin' better?''
