The day in the Maze had been particularly grueling. The sun beat down relentlessly, and the constant running had left you feeling drained both physically and emotionally. You had been pushing through, but the weariness was beginning to catch up with you. The Maze seemed to stretch endlessly, and the pressure of it all made you feel isolated and overwhelmed.

As you and Thomas made your way back to the Glade, you fell behind, struggling to keep up with the pace. You could feel the weight of exhaustion pressing heavily on your shoulders. It wasn't just the physical fatigue; there was a deep, aching need for comfort and reassurance that you couldn't shake.

Thomas noticed you lagging behind and quickened his pace to match yours. He cast a concerned glance over at you, his brows furrowing. "Hey, y/n, you okay? You seem off today."

You tried to put on a brave face, but the emotional toll was evident. You shook your head, feeling a lump form in your throat. "I'm just... really tired, Thomas. And I just feel... I don't know. I need something."

Thomas's concern deepened as he saw the vulnerability in your eyes. Without hesitation, he reached out and gently took your hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "It's okay. You don't have to go through this alone. If you need a break, we can stop."

You hesitated, feeling a wave of relief at his touch. "I don't just need a break. I need... I need some affection. I guess I'm just feeling really alone right now."

Thomas stopped walking, pulling you to a quiet corner of the Maze where you could sit down away from the usual hustle. He sat beside you, placing a comforting arm around your shoulders. "I'm here, y/n. Whatever you need, I'm here for you."

The warmth of his embrace and the gentle pressure of his arm around you made you feel a deep sense of comfort. You leaned into him, letting the exhaustion and emotion flow out as you rested your head on his shoulder. Thomas's presence was a balm to your weary soul.

"You're not alone, y/n," Thomas murmured, his voice soft and soothing. "I know it's tough out here, but we're in this together. I'm always here to support you, no matter what."

You sighed contentedly, letting yourself relax into the hug. The affection you needed was exactly what Thomas was giving you—steady and unwavering. His warmth seemed to melt away the stress and loneliness you had been feeling.

"Thank you, Thomas," you whispered, feeling a bit more at ease. "I really needed this."Thomas's grip tightened slightly, a reassuring gesture of his commitment to be there for you. "Anytime. You're important to me, y/n. Don't forget that. We'll get through this, and I'll be by your side every step of the way."

As you both sat there, the exhaustion began to recede, replaced by a sense of calm and security. Thomas's affection had provided the emotional support you needed, reminding you that, even in the vast and challenging Maze, you had someone who cared deeply for you.

When you finally stood up to continue your way back to the Glade, you felt refreshed and supported. With Thomas beside you, you knew you could face whatever the Maze threw at you, bolstered by the strength of his unwavering affection.
