It's the end of the day and your absolutely exhausted. After dinners are some of your favorite times in the glade. When dinners over, you help the sloppers with the dishes it's not your job but you're a total workaholic. You were the first glader to come up with the box and always felt like you needed to do more to help. It oftentimes pushed you to your limits, which you knew wasn't good but you didn't want to become lazy. That was one of the reasons you enjoyed the times after dinners it was your time to relax, laugh, and talk to your friends knowing your work was done. When you finish helping the sloppers you walk over to a small circle of your friends sitting and laughing.  Your eyes sweep over the group locking on a distinct smile you know and love. Walking around the circle you sit beside Frypan and Newt. As soon as you sit down you turn your back to Fry leaning into his chest as he wraps an arm around your shoulder. Fry is talking to Winston so your turn to Newt.

"So what have you done since lunch" You worked with Newt in the fields this morning planting seeds for the first few hours of your day. After lunch was supposed to be free time for both you and Newt but of course you hadn't taken it.

"I drew a bit, those new colored pencils are cool" Newt loved to draw it was one of the things he did to help himself cope with the intensity of the glade. Last week you had noticed the colored pencils he normally used were becoming stubs so you asked the creators to send up more. When they were sent up you wrapped them and left them in his room without a note as to who had sent them. The only person who knew you had been the one to ask for them was Fry who you had told while helping him make the runner's lunches one night. Minho begins yelling with Gally about something random so you and Newt both turn to watch them argue about whose stronger.

"That's a shucking joke, slanted! Lift wood all shucking day" Gally yells at Minho through gritted teeth. 

"yeah well, I run all shucking day, Klunkface, no breaks!" Minho claps back in his normal sassy tone. You giggle as they decide to arm wrestle it out, your eyes falling to Alby as he was around the circle to Newt his hand sliding over the blonde boy's shoulders pulling him into a kiss. You turn away thinking of how cute they were together. Nowhere near as cute as you and Fry of course but they were definitely second. You let your head fall back onto Fry's chest as you look up at him. He notices this and looks down at you leaving his conversation with Winton and Zart. 

"Hey munch" He smiles as you snuggle closer to him. "how was your half-day off" You bite your lip knowing Fry hated it when you overworked yourself and wasn't going to be happy with your response. You could just lie but he could see right through you, I mean he knew you better than anyone. 

"I didn't take one" you sigh "after lunch, I helped Gally then Zart and Medjacks"

"Y/N..." Frypan sighs, "when was your last break?" You begin to rack your brain truthfully not remembering when your last day off was. Sundays normally were free for everyone but you normally helped the cooks on those days or did any extra chores that needed to be done. All the other gladers thought you were crazy but you always felt empty when you weren't doing anything.

"I honestly don't know..." As you finish your words a yawn escapes your mouth. Fry doesn't respond and just looks at you. As he examines your face he notices the darkness under your eyes which are glossy from pure exhaustion. 

"You're going to bed," He says beginning to get up your hand gripped firmly in his. You don't want to go you love this time of day Fry isn't having it though.

"but Fry I-" You are almost instantly cut off.

"no but's, get up" He pulls you to your feet as you try to plead your case.

"I don't want to go, though" You pull back againsy his grip as he attempts to pull you away from the chattering gladers who are oblivious to whats going on. 

"okay" He says solemly before throwing you over his shoulder with ease and carrying you away. Minho and Gally could argue all they wanted but Fry was definatly in the running for strongest glader. He had to carry the large bags of floor and supplies across the glade almost daily, his massive biceps only adding more proof.

"fry!" You whine as he carries you to your hut by the homestead.

"Y/N!" he says mocking your tone. He places you down outside your hut and nods to the door. You groan in protest but open it, you each walk inside. "go get ready for bed" He says as he takes off his shirt and his long pants so he was in a pair of baggy boxers. You roll your eyes knowing it is useless to argue at this point. You walk into your bathroom and brush your teeth changing into a large t-shirt of Frypan's as your pajamas. 

"I'm not even tired" You lie as you walk back into the bedroom seeing Fry tucked in neatly on the far side of the bed. Reluctantly you enter pulling the covers over yourself pretending to pout.

"oh slim it" Fry whispers pulling you onto him letting you nuzzle into him. He picks up a piece of your hair and twirls it in his fingers. "get some sleep munch, good that?" He whispers to you as he feels you attempting to fight your exhaustion.

"good that" you mumble as you drift off.  When your asleep Frypan holds you tighter then before continuing to twirl your hair in his fingers. 

"I love you Y/N" He whispers before he falls to sleep "I love you so much"
