Thomas: You laid on the ground, gazing up at the stars, snuggled into your boyfriend's side. His warmth surrounded you, making you feel protected. You glanced up at him, smiling at the confused look on his face. You giggled, "What's wrong, Tom?" He tore his eyes away from the sky and looked down at you. "This is so boring!" Thomas said, shaking his head. You rolled your eyes, "It's romantic!" He laughed, "It's so cheesy. And did I mention boring?" You sighed, "Well, I quite enjoy it. It gives me hope. I mean, if the stars are shining this bright it can't all be bad, right?" Thomas nodded sympathetically. The two of you laid there in silence. Thomas broke it a few moments later. "(Y/N)?" You looked up into Thomas' brown orbs, "Yeah?" He sat up all the way and looked at you with determination in his eyes. "I will get you out of here. I swear on it. If it kills me, I will you get you out of this shucking place." You propped yourself up on your elbow and smiled at him. "I know, Thomas. But just so you know, I'm not leaving without you." He laughed, "See? This is why I am in love with you. You're so stubborn but in a good way." Your eyes widened at his words. Thomas, realizing what he said, started to blush and stutter out an explanation. In an attempt to shut him up you pressed your lips against his gently. "I love you too, Thomas."

Gally: 8 months. That's how long you and Gally had been dating. 8 glorious months. But during those 8 months, Gally hasn't told you he loved you. Not once. You've said it to him on multiple occasions but he usually ignored you or shrugged. It was very frustrating. You ran a hand through your hair and stomped over to the builders. You motioned to Gally to come and meet you by the east doors. A few minutes later you saw him walking towards you. You opened your arms wide and enveloped him in a hug when he got to you. He held your waist and pulled you in further. He smelled so good. You didn't want to let go. You buried your head into the crook of his neck, leaving a single kiss on his collar bone. "I love you, Gally," you whispered. Silence. Absolutely nothing. You pulled away, angrily and leaned against the concrete wall. "(Y/N), what's the matter?" he asked, sitting beside you and wrapping his arms around your shoulders. "Why haven't you ever told me you loved me?" you questioned, getting straight to the point. Gally removed his arms from your shoulders and sighed, "I don't know." You pulled away from him, "What do you mean you don't know, Gally? We've been together 8 months! If you don't love me, I'm not going to waste another second in this relationship!" Gally remained surprisingly calm. "I do love you, (Y/N). So much. I just think you deserve so much better," he said, shaking his head. You smiled, "Gally, you are everything to me. You're the only thing that keeps me sane in this shuck place. I don't deserve someone like you but here you are. And I couldn't be happier that you are mine." He smiled and pulled you onto his lap. He kissed your face repeatedly, saying 'I love you' between each one.

Newt: "You are a complete idiot," you screamed at your boyfriend who had gotten into another fight with a glader. He winced at your tone but yelled right back at you, "I wouldn't have had to beat that guy up if you hadn't been dancing on him like some whore!" You stepped closer to him. "Don't put this on me Newt! It's your problem not mine," you responded. He just shook his head in disgust. You rolled your eyes and stormed off to the homestead. You slammed the door loudly behind you. Crawling into the hammock you thought about the way Newt was acting. This was his 4th fight this month! If he wasn't so close with Alby he would've gotten banished long ago. It was very unusual for him to fight anyway. Usually he just sulked and talked about what he would do. He never acted on it. A little while later there was a soft knock on the wall behind you. "What?" you mumbled. Newt came in with 2 mugs of Gally's secret drink. He silently handed you your mug and crawled under the covers beside you. "(Y/N), I'm so sorry. I am a complete idiot. I just got so jealous of all the guys that danced with you or even looked at you. I love you so much and I just want you all to myself," he told you, laying his head on your shoulder. You nearly choked on your drink hearing him say that. He had never told you he loved you before. "I, I love you too, Newt," you stuttered. He smiled up at you and kissed you on the nose, "I love you more."

Minho: Saying you were nervous was an understatement. You were about to go on your first run into the maze. Horrifying. Minho came and wrapped his arms around your waist. "How many are out there?" you asked, referring to the grievers. "I'm not really sure. A lot?" he told you. You sighed. "You don't have to do this (Y/N," he said, turning your body so that you were facing him. "No! I need to do this," you replied, and with that Minho bent down and kissed your forehead. "That's my girl." A few minutes later you were standing at the east doors. Minho took your hand and squeezed it. "I'm here," he reminded you. You took a deep breath as the doors opened. "Let's go," you said, taking off into the maze. Minho followed suit, pulling ahead quickly. You both weaved your way through the designated section, mentally mapping every turn. Finally, you had finished. You stopped to catch your breath and looked up at the setting sun. "We better go," Minho said, rubbing your back. You nodded and off you were. You were in the homestretch when your foot caught on a rock causing you to trip. "Ouch," you yelped. Minho skidded to a halt and ran back to you. "(Y/N), are you okay?" You shook your head furiously. Your ankle throbbed painfully. You were about to just suck it up and limp the rest of the way when a pair of strong arms picked you up. You smiled up at Minho who was now carrying you bridal style. You finally made it back to the glade safely. Minho continued carrying you though, toward the Medjacks. Minho laid you on a makeshift bed and yelled for the Medjacks to hurry their shuck butts up. "I'm so sorry, (Y/N). This never should've happened. I'm supposed to protect the person I love, not let them break their ankle. You shook your head but smiled, "Quit being stupid ya shank. This was my fault." He still looked doubtful so you took his head in your hands and forced him to look at you. "And, hey, I love you too, Minho." He blushed profusely but his smile was unmistakable.
