Jealousy // Gally x reader

Chapter Eleven- Sloppers

When I wake up, Gally and I are still wrapped in each other's arms. I stare at him, examining his still features as he slept. 

He was really pretty. 

I loved the way his eyebrows slightly tilted upward, and how his face was perfectly adorned with freckles, splashing themselves across his nose. My staring must've woken him, as he groans and arches his back.

"Morning sleepy head." I tease him, poking him in the chest.

"Morning y/n", he replies, "hey uhm, I was thinking last night, and I was wondering..." He was really nervous. It was cute how flushed he was getting. "Would you wanna be my uhm... my girlfriend?"

A smile crept across my face like the summer sun. This was the happiest I'd been in a long time. "Yes!" I replied, planting a quick kiss on his lips, which he soon returned, but much longer. We're pulled from our bubble of happiness as Chuck peers through the window, instantly covering his eyes.

"Chuck!" I yell, laughing slightly at his red-faced manor. "Sorry!" He squeaks, "breakfast is ready, come on y/n, you're working with me today." I chuckle, removing myself from Gally's grasp with a quick peck, brushing my hair and walking out of the hut to greet the little youngster. As I leave, I glance at my reflection. My purple bruises staring back at me, and I decide to leave my hair out today.

Chuck practically drags me by my arms to breakfast, and I bump into him when he finally stops. "Oof", I groan, rubbing my arm. Fry passes us the food, and we head to our table.

"Hey, you two, work starts after lunch today." Minho says, Chuck and I both stare at him, confused. "Some of us are going into the maze to find Alex, or, what's left of him." I push my food away, no longer hungry as a mangled image of Alex's pleading face floods my mind. "Can I come?" I ask, wanting at least a little closure. Minho nods and I smile slightly before Chuck changes the subject.

"I'm so excited for work today, y/n's doing her trial as a slopper", Chuck's eyes light up, although I think everyone knows I most likely won't be choosing it as my permanent job. "I'm excited too Chuckalicious."

I spy a mischievous smile etch its way onto his face, and I stare daggers at him, warning him not to do whatever he's thinking about. "Y/n slept with Gally last night." He blurts out, and I bang my head on the table, groaning.

As I look back up, all the boys are staring at me. "Not in that way, fucking idiots. We just slept in his bed, but it doesn't matter anyways, we're dating." Newt's the first to congratulate me as Minho, Ben and Winston just burst into laughter. My head rests itself back on the table, taking a bite of Minho's granola bar. "Hey!" he replies, and I just wave him away with my hand and groan.

"Well since you've got y/n today, I'll make sure to give you extra pigs guts", Winston chimes in, and I give him a fat death-stare, causing him to choke slightly on his water. "Never mind, forget that. I'd rather live." I smile a little, before taking everyone's plates away. Minho had managed to snake mine away and eat it, which I guess is fine as I wasn't going to.

As the doors opened, a small group of us stand by the entrance, hope flickering behind our eyes. We run in, Minho, Ben, Alby and I keeping the lead with two others staying close behind. I don't really know why they let me come, I guess Minho knew I needed it.

As we turn through the winding corners of the maze, I'm panting after five minutes. I finally catch a break when Minho stops dead in his tracks. I'm happy for a brief moment before I realise why he stopped. Alex's body lays on the floor, in a pool of black liquid, a hole going straight through his chest, leaking red.

The boys all grab onto him, telling me to look around and see if I can find anything. I walk around two corners, making sure to mark the walls as I go, the boys are all waiting for me.
