When... (Dylan O'Brien Character Imagines)

thomas when...

"I'm sorry shanks" He says before letting go of the vine sending the two of you into the wall.

You hear footsteps approaching knowing that it belonged to a Griever's.

"Get under here. Hurry" Thomas says pushing both of you into the vines for protection.

A steal metal claw bangs on the floor of the maze causing a gasp to come out of your mouth making Thomas place a hand to your mouth.

You shake and close your eyes in fear as the creature continues walking around the corner before it disappears out of sight and Thomas releases your mouth.

You spot a vine and tie the rope to secure Alby in his place as you hear the footsteps of the Griever coming back.

"Y/N come here!" Thomas whisper yells to you from he other side of the wall as you continue tying. "Common" You say to yourself before securing the knot and joining Thomas on the other side as the Griever's shriek is heard again.

You clutch yourself to Thomas as the Griever passes.

"This is going to be a long night"

Suddenly, you step in a gooey slim making you groan in annoyance before you realize something.

"The Griever" You say as the creature appears behind you and Thomas.

"RUN!" He yells as you scramble out of the corridor not dating to look make at the machine.

You run and run until you don't hear anything anymore.

"Thomas we lo-" You turn to face him but he's not there. "Shit! THOMAS WHERE ARE YOU!" You scream into the Maze instantly regretting it as a Griever makes it's way behind you.

"Shit" you mutter before turning and running back again hoping to turn into either Thomas or Minho.

You continue to run trying to ignore the flames in your chest begging you to stop, but you knew this was life or death.

The mechanical shrieks of the machines keep reminding you of the dangers of you stopped or even slowed down.

"You're a crazy son of a bitch"

"Where's Y/N! Minho we have to find her! God it's all my fault I lost her!" You recognize the conversation and are about to scream their names before the Griever catches your leg and pins you down.

A horrific scream of bloody murder erupts from your mouth probably echoes through out the whole
maze as Minho and Thomas look suspiciously at each other.

"Y/N" Thomas mutters before running after the direction of your scream.

The Griever's teeth try to grab at your face but you quickly dodge it's attacks.

"THOMAS! MINHO!" Your bloody scream erupts again as the Griever leans down slowly inching it's way to your face as you scream again and try to wiggle out of its hold.

"Y/N!!!" You hear Thomas's voice causing the Griever to look up and growl at him followed by Minho.

"Y/N RUN!" Thomas says as you crawl out of the Griever's hold and join the two as a stinging pain on your legs slows you down a bit.

You keep pumping your legs and keeping up with the two boys regardless.

"Common this section is closing! We can loose it down here" Minho announces running through the section as you quickly follow behind noticing Thomas had stopped.

"Thomas what the hell are you doing?!" You shout at him but he just stands there waiting before the Griever comes into view.

"Common!" He yells to the Griever as you stand there confused at his actions.

"Thomas don't just stand there! RUN!" You shout as Minho does the same.

Thomas turns and runs towards you and Minho as the corridor closes, the Griever hot on his tail.

"Keep going Thomas! Don't look back! Run!" Minho yells just as Thomas slides through the crack, trapping the Griever.

"What the hell was that Thomas! That thing could've killed you for fucks sake! Damn you!" You yell at the boy embracing him in a hug of bittersweetness.

"What about you huh?! You ran and I lost you and then I find you being pinned against that thing while you scream bloody murder! I can't believe you would come here in the first place!"

"I came for you goddammit!"

"Why!!"

"Because I love you!!"

The three of you stand still in silence as Minho looks between the two of you not daring to say a word. Your cheeks go red as you finally realize what you just said.

"I love you Thomas. There. That's why I came out here"

Thomas doesn't say a word, he only stares at you in complete shock. But he doesn't need to say anything, he obviously doesn't feel the same.

You try to stand up but the pain in your legs causes you to fall, but Thomas catches you.

"Y/N, your leg" He breathes examining your gashed leg from the Griever.

"Let me go Thomas" You say trying to wiggle out of his grasp. "No"

"Thomas! Let me g-!" You start to say but a pair of lips stops you. He cups your cheeks in his hands as you place yours on his back pulling him closer towards you.

"I love you too Y/N"

"Alright you two lover bird shuckfaces lets get out of this maze"
