The maze runner x Y/n

Day one

Day 1

Y/n's pov

My eyes flutter open, I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I crawl into a corner, hugging my legs to my chest. The elevator abruptly stops, a green hue fills the darkness. The top of the metal box flips open, bright, warm light poured in. Forcing my head into my knees. I hear a thud, I look up curiosley. There was a tall, lanky boy, staring back at me. We held eye contact for a few seconds but then he looked upward, following his gaze I saw 30-ish boys peering back down at me. "It's a girl!" he shouts to the group in a heavy British accent. Cheers and whispers move around the crowd. The boy stood in front of me, he then slowly walked towards me, as if not to scare me. Putting his hands on my knees for support when he crouches down. "Hi, I'm Newt. Do you remember your name yet?" I think for a moment, then realising I can't remember my name, I can't remember anything. A tear rolls down my face, I choke on air and Newt rubs my back, "It's okay, it's normal." I look up at him, "Nor-normal?" He hums, Newt moves his hands onto my cheeks, using his thumbs to wipe my tears. "Now, follow me." he slowly takes my hand so as to not scare me more. Newt led me up a series of barrels, and boxes all labelled with the initials: W.C.K.D. As soon as I stepped onto the grass the group of boys encircled me. I lost Newt's hand, and stumbled back into someone's chest. "Woah there sweetheart." The boy puts his hands on my waist, spinning me around. My eyes analysed my face, his head was shaved and his eyebrows lay askewed on his face. I giggle, his eyebrows furrowed even more than they already were. "I'm gally" his voice was gruff and husky, I smiled, "I'm-" my face fell, "S'all right, you'll remember soon."

"Can we give her some space?" Someone said, most of the boys took a few steps away from me, Gally still stays planted behind me, his hands on my waist. "Hi, I'm Frypan. Do you want to come with me to the kitchens? Everyone else will be eating, but you can hang out with me if you want to." Frypan gave off warm vibes, he reminded me of home, wherever that was. I felt like I could trust him instantly. " Yeah! I'd love to! I'm starving!" Some of the guys chuckled, I snorted and laughed. This hell hole doesn't seem too bad. We walked to a wooden shack which I assumed to be the kitchens. We headed through a door off to the side while everyone else would enter through a door-shaped hole in the wall. All the boys lined up, grabbing trays. Frypan gave me a bowl of stew, then he started putting the stew in the other boys trays. Once everyone was sitting down happily chatting and munching on food. "So, what is this place?" I ask. "Well, this is a maze, we are in the middle of it. And were stuck in the maze." The rest of the cafeteria quietened down, realising what frypan was explaining to me, they all waited silently for my reaction. I quickly entered a laughing fit, "That's so fucked up dude! Oh my god!"

"Are you laughing?"

"No. This is just a dream. Whooooo" My imatation of a ghost seemed to somwhat lighten the mood as the whole 'Glade' burst out laughing.

Newt stood from his table where he was sitting with Gally and another boy. ""Right you ugly shanks, and of course the lovely Miss.Giggles, time for bonfire!" The crowd of boys burst into cheers. Frypan explained what exactly 'bonfire' was while we walked out into the fields. Apparently it's to celebrate me coming into the glade. I took a seat on a tree stump with a jar of alcohol that Gally had given me, I took a small sip. I watched the Gladers as they danced and fought inside of the dedicated circle. I took a big swig of the alcohol, I needed this after today. "Hey," I heard beside me, a Glader had sat down. He had a muscular build, almond shaped brown eyes, black hair and sharp jawline. "I'm Minho." I was about to say something but I accidently yawned instead, "My shoulders are open y'know." Minho says with a smirk, I gently lay my head on his shoulder. His arm wraps around my waist, his thumb rubbing small circles on my shirt. I've only just met Minho but he makes me feel safe and protected. Me and Minho sat there, watching the fights go on, Gally almost won every fight. "Hey greenie! 'Wanna fight?" I lift up my head, and "I'm pretty sure there's someone a lot stupider who would enjoy doing that instead." Once again all the Glade start laughing. "Giggles! Giggles! Giggles!" The crowd started cheering, a rose blush crept up onto my face. I hid my face in Minho's neck, he chuckled but sighed when one of his friends called him over. I walked up to the boy I had come to learn was Alby. "Hello, can you tell me where the bathroom is? I want to take a shower." He nodded his head, and cleared his throat. "Well, um there isn't a lock on the door of the shower, yet, um so if you want someone can stand outside to, um, guard the door."

"Gally." I state quickly, he is the strongest or one of the strongest Gladers. No one would dare to be a creep around him.

"Good choice," Alby seemed more confident now that I was on board with the idea, "I'll go get him. The showers are behind the kitchens. He'll meet you there." I agreed and left. I walked around the dark wooden shelter behind the building where there were two small cubicles with shower heads connected to a canister on the ground. There was a stack of towels, I grabbed one and stepped into the cubicle, started to undress and turned on the water, I squealed at the cold water hitting my shoulders. "Uhh hi?" I heard Gallys voice coming from behind the door, "Hi!" I could tell he was slightly uncomfortable, "Thank you for doing this, I chose you because you seemed the strongest. Gally promptly started to chat about how he is the strongest Glader. After 20 minutes I turned off the water and started drying myself off. I then remembered I accidently left my clothes on the bench outside the stall. I wrapped the matted towel around me and opened the door. Gally's eyes flicked up and down and his mouth fell open, I quickly grabbed my clothes and entered the cubicle , shutting the door behind me. I dressed and walked out, me and Gally walked back to the bonfire in silence. "Hey, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." I say, unsure of how he's going to react, "S'all right, don't worry your pretty head too much." I giggled, he chuckled and Gally walked back to the fight circle. I soon realised that after the stress today I was actually getting pretty tired, I walked to talk to Alby. I told him how tired I was and he understood completely. I was told that since we don't have my own hut yet my hammock was next to Newts, so that no one could get too touchy. Newt started walking to the homestead, I caught up to him and thanked him for sleeping next to me. "Don't worry about it love, I-uh." Newt was clearly distressed and I reassured him that it was fine and I enjoyed him calling me 'love'. When we entered the homestead, I smelt the air, it smelled like smoke from the bonfire and nutmeg which I assumed was from Frypans cooking. We lay down facing the sky, "I can't believe i'm in a fucking maze." Newt sniggered, " Y'know Alby doesn't let anyone swear around the Glade. I think he doesn't mind because you're a bloody girl."

I laughed and rolled onto my side and looked at Newt, who was looking back at me, there was a loud bang and I grabbed onto his hand. Even when Gladers shouted to confirm everything was fine I continued to hold onto his hand, holding his and made me feel safe, no, he made me feel safe. My eyes very quickly became heavy.

Narrators pov: 

Y/n fell asleep while Newt was talking about the Glade, he heard a small snore come from beside him, looking over he saw Y/n, her eyes closed, her lips slightly parted,  her face being gently caressed by the moonlight. Newt loved looking at her.

Several hours later...

Once all the gladers made it to the homestead they saw Y/n and newt sleeping, still holding hands.
