Cursed Peace (Minho x Reader)

Waiting for him

(Y/n's) Pov:
"Alby you're being ridiculous! If you go in and something goes wrong the whole glades screwed. Just- just let me go in."

"(Y/n) you're still hurt we can't risk another runner."

"But we can risk our commander?!"

"Newts gonna stay right here ok? I appreciate the concern but we have to find out what the grievers are doing."

With that Alby left breaking off into a run heading deep into the maze. Minho turned to one of his few remaining runners and gave her a reassuring smile and followed after the commander. Newt walked a step forward to be beside (Y/n) and placed a hand on her shoulder whilst staring with her into the maze.

"Don't worry (Y/n) he wouldn't risk leaving me in charge of the glade forever."

"You don't give yourself enough credit Newt, you're better than any of us here."

The two stood in comforting silence as they waited for the echo of footsteps to fade. The dawn was upon them and the day was already leaving them behind.

...Time Skip...

Thomas's Pov:
The greenie sat at a log next to Chuck watching Newt and Zart hack away at a tree. The two continuously looked at the boy with exasperated faces as he lounged about without helping.

"Why would Alby go into the maze? I- I mean he's not a runner"

"Things are different now, Alby went to retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown... Look are you gonna help?"

"Okay so he's gonna go back to where Ben was just—"

"—Alby knows what he's doing, alright? He knows better than any of us."

Thomas looked down and stabbed his knife into the ground repeatedly after his scolding. Being the smartass he was he replied.

"I thought (Y/n) was the almighty glader."

"Oh you're darn right she is. But that doesn't mean she knows better. She acts first and thinks about it never, she's impulsive and doesn't ever look back. You'd best be bloody grateful for that as well. Alby's got the patience to go with the brains and that's why he leads."

Thomas clearly beaten stored all the information he learnt on (Y/n) away. The more he could gather on her the easier it would be to piece together the puzzle of a girl. Newt continued his hacking at the tree as Thomas readied his next question.

"So what does that mean?"

This made the second in command pause his hacking to mull over the question. He scratched the back of his head before pointing the large knife at Thomas.

"Alright its like you've heard yea? Every month the box sends up a new arrival, but someone had to be first alright. Some one had to have spent a whole month in the glade, alone... and that was Alby."

Thomas had gone quiet and given his full attention to Newt. He'd never thought about how it had all started.

"It can't have been easy, but when those other boys started coming up one after the other, he saw the truth, and he learnt that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Cause we're all in this together."
