𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏.𝟔|| "Good to have you back"

MITCH STEPPED OUT THE HOMESTEAD, soon finding himself walking towards the one person who he thought he would never have a conversation with if it wasn't ordered by someone. He turned his head, staring at the giant walls covered with vines. The maze was never a fear he had but after losing an important person too the things that crept inside of it, he couldn't help the crawl on his skin anytime he entered it.

His eyes soon dropped, gazing down into the swaying grass at his feet. He hated how much Ben's death infected him. I mean, last night he complimented Gally on something. He never would compliment anyone, especially gally. He just wished Ben was here to cheer him up. Yes, He had other friends but Ben was the Greenie he got stuck with too tour the glade and even encouraged him to become a runner.

Ben was everything too him.

Mitch exhaled, looking back up and immediately catching sight of the Dark haired boy he wanted too speak too. Thomas was talking with Newt and Chuck and when his eyes connected with Mitchs, Fear instantly consumed them and that earned an eye roll from mitch.

Mitch didn't realize how close had come or when he had stopped untill he heard a throat clearing followed by loud inhaling. He ran a hand through his hair, looking directly at Thomas he spoke,

"Can we talk."

Thomas blinked, looking towards Newt and Chuck who shrugged. He couldn't tell if Mitch asked a question or demanded it. Either way he was not in the mood to be killed in the middle of the forest. "Uh.."

"Calm your shit." Mitch deadpanned. He felt a sharp pain in his side, eyes darting towards Newt who gave him a pointed look.

"Hey, Mitch!" Chuck squeezed himself between Newt and Thomas, giving the blonde boy a small wave.

Which was returned with a short, yet very visible, smile.

"Can we or not?" He snapped, looking at Thomas who stood there mouth agape.

"Uh.."

"I just- please." Mitch instantly cringed at how desperate he sounded but put that aside. He could tell him saying that one word took the trio by surprise and he looked towards the ground, face heating from embarrassment.

Thomas said nothing but starting walking, nodding mitch over. The boy obliged.

"So.." Thomas started, getting cut off almost immediately.

"Don't talk. I asked if i could talk to you not if you could talk to me. Though it would be nice if you asked for permission to talk to me, you tend to have an obnoxious voice." Mitch rambled, grinning at Thomas's Blank look. "I just-"

Thomas hummed.

"I just wanted to say-"

"Go on."

"That i'm-"

"Almost there."

"Stop interrupting me!" Mitch snapped, slapping a hand over Thomas mouth. "I just wanted to say that i'm sorry." He scrambled out, voice so fast Thomas could barely comprehend the words. But when he did, Oh did he enjoy the embarrassment returning too Mitch's face.

"Did you just apologize?"

Mitch sighed. "I just wanted to apologize for the way that I treated you and that I promise in the future I won't treat you that way again." His voice was almost monotone. The sound of it made Thomas's smirk vanish .
