My Boy - Gally x Reader

Chapter 22

**TW: Sexual Assault**

The bonfire crackled and danced in the center of the glade, casting flickering shadows over the gathering of gladers. Y/N sat with Newt on a fallen log near the edge of the firelight, watching the chaos unfold as the builders engaged in their usual evening brawl. Gally's unmistakable figure stood out amongst the others, his competitive spirit evident as he sparred with the rest of the group.

"Looks like Gally's on a winning streak tonight," Newt remarked, nodding towards the ongoing bout.

Y/N nodded, her gaze fixed on Gally as he grappled with the others, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "Yeah, he's in his element," she replied, a hint of fondness in her voice.

Newt glanced at her, noticing the softness in her expression. "You seem rather smitten with him," he teased gently.

Y/N's cheeks flushed pink as she glanced at Newt, then quickly looked away. "Well, uh, actually, there's something I need to tell you," she began, her voice slightly hesitant.

Newt raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Y/N leaned in closer to Newt, speaking in a hushed tone. "Gally and I... we're dating," she confessed, her heart racing with nervous anticipation.

Newt's eyes widened in surprise, but a warm smile spread across his face. "Really? That's fantastic news, Y/N!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine happiness for his sister.

Y/N smiled back, relieved by Newt's supportive reaction. "Thanks, Newt. But please, don't tell anyone just yet. We want to keep it under wraps for a bit," she said, her tone earnest.

"Of course, I won't say a word," Newt promised, placing a reassuring hand on Y/N's shoulder.

Just then the new greenie approached their little corner of the bonfire, with his cocky demeanour, a twinkle in his eye and a confident grin plastered on his face.

"Hey there, beautiful," Kyle greeted Y/N, flashing her a charming smile. "I'm Kyle. What's your name?" He said coyly as he settled in beside her, leaning in a little too close for Y/N's comfort. His flirtatious demeanour making Y/N tense up and goosebumps run down her arms.

Y/N exchanged a glance with Newt, feeling a bit uneasy under Kyle's intense gaze. "I'm Y/N," she replied politely, hoping to keep the conversation brief. Y/N forced a polite smile as she subtly inched away from Kyle. "What brings you over here?"

"Just wanted to get to know the prettiest girl in the glade," Kyle replied, flashing Y/N a flirtatious grin.

Meanwhile, Gally, who was sparring with another glader in the fight circle, caught wind of Kyle's advances toward Y/N. His jaw clenched, and he could see the discomfort in Y/N's expression from across the glade.

With a determined glint in his eye, Gally swiftly ended his match and dusted off the dirt from his clothes.

"Hey, greenie!" Gally called out, his voice booming across the glade.

Kyle looked up, his expression shifting from smugness to surprise as he registered Gally's challenge.

"Yeah? What's it to you?" Kyle retorted, puffing out his chest.

Gally's lips curled into a smirk as he locked eyes with Kyle. "How about you step into the circle and fight me?"

Kyle, eager to show off in front of Y/N, flashed her a cocky grin before accepting the challenge. "Sure thing, big guy. I'll take you down easy." he said confidently, rolling up his sleeves as he got up from his seat.

With a confident stride, Kyle entered the fight circle, flexing his muscles and showing off for Y/N. Gally followed suit, stepping into the ring with a determined look in his eyes.
