My Boy - Gally x Reader

Chapter 24

In the aftermath of the tumultuous events surrounding Y/N and Kyle, Alby and Minho found themselves grappling with the need to maintain order within the glade. Recognising Kyle's athleticism and, perhaps more importantly, the necessity of keeping him away from Y/N, they hatched a plan. The decision was made to make Kyle a runner, a role that would occupy most of his day and keep him out of the glade for extended periods.

As Kyle assumed his new responsibilities as a runner, Y/N found a sense of relief in his absence. The glade felt safer, and the air less tense when she didn't have to constantly be on guard against his unwanted advances. The rhythms of the glade, once disrupted by Kyle's presence, gradually began to settle into a more stable cadence.

In light of the challenges Y/N had faced and her unique position as the only girl in the glade, Alby made a significant decision. He appointed her as an honorary council member, a role that Clint and Jeff also held. This new status allowed Y/N to participate in meetings with the other Keepers, providing her with a voice in the decisions that shaped the glade's management and the welfare of its inhabitants.

Y/N, now part of the council, brought a fresh perspective to the discussions, offering insights and ideas that reflected her experiences and concerns. The council, with Y/N as an integral member, worked towards fostering a sense of unity and addressing the challenges that arose within the glade.

One of the council's most significant decisions was to introduce two days of freedom in the glade, a welcome change from the daily grind of work and survival. These designated days allowed the gladers to enjoy a respite, engaging in recreational activities, bonding with one another, and perhaps finding moments of solace in the midst of their confined existence.

As the first day of freedom dawned, the gladers reveled in the opportunity to break away from their usual routines. Laughter echoed through the glade as friendships deepened, and the communal spirit flourished. Y/N, now not only a witness but an active participant in shaping the glade's policies, felt a renewed sense of purpose.

.....

As the evening sun dipped below the horizon, casting the glade in a warm golden hue, the gladers gathered around yet another crackling bonfire, their faces illuminated by its flickering flames. Laughter and chatter filled the air as they celebrated the arrival of the newest greenie with festivities and merriment.

Y/N found herself nestled between Newt and Minho, her companions for the evening as they observed the lively scene unfolding before them. Nearby, the builders engaged in spirited sparring matches within the ring, their movements fluid and purposeful.

In her hand, Y/N held a jar filled with Gally's potent concoction, the contents swirling amber and inviting. With each sip, she felt the warmth spreading through her veins, loosening her inhibitions and lifting her spirits higher.

As the night wore on and the jars emptied, Y/N's laughter grew louder and more infectious, her inhibitions melting away like wax under the fire's heat. As she watched the other gladers spar in the ring, a bold idea took root in Y/N's mind, fueled by the liquid courage coursing through her. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she leapt to her feet and staggered into the centre of the ring.

"Boys!" she announced with a flourish, her voice ringing out clear and commanding above the din. "Who among you dares to challenge me to a match? I assure you, I am unbeatable!"

Newt and Minho exchanged worried glances, knowing all too well the consequences of Y/N's recklessness when under the influence. They shared a silent agreement to keep a close eye on her, ready to intervene if necessary.

The crowd hushed for a moment before a voice rose from the gathering. It was Kyle, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of confidence and eagerness. "I'll take you on, Y/N! Let's see what you're made of!"
