Maze Runner Imagines

I Won't Let It Happen

~-T-~

I woke up when I felt the familiar weight of Minho's arms leaving my waist. I sleepily groaned and rolled on my side to face him.

He was standing up silently not to wake me up.

"Minho..." I held his hand, trying to hold him back. "Come back..."

He chuckled and came closer to me.

"I can't, Y/N... I have to go for my run" Minho knelt down next to the bed to be at eye level with me.

"Just this time..." I pleaded, holding into his shirt.

"Sorry, wish I could" He placed his lips in my head and left a kiss there. "But when I get back I'm all yours"

I frowned, thinking that there was always the possibility that he didn't make it back. But I tried to pretend I wasn't worried.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Doors, like I always am" I muttered, sitting up.

"What are you doing? Go back to sleep" Minho whispered, knowing I still was sleepy.

"I won't be able to fall back asleep without you here" I went to hug him tight, not really wanting to let him go into the Maze again. But I had no other choice.

I spent the morning working in the Gardens and chatting with Zart and Newt, but I was still worrying about my boyfriend. It was the same every day, going to sleep next to Minho and waking up without him by my side.

It didn't really seem like we were together at all. When he arrived from the Maze, he was too exhausted most of the time to spend time with me, but I still went to the Kitchen with him when he looked for some food. And he was the first one to fall asleep in the night for the same reason.

Don't get me wrong, I was really proud of him. He was so hard-working that he preferred to stay in the Maze and eat there instead of going back for lunch. And he never really lost the motivation although there might not be an exit.

But I just missed him so much. And was so scared for him as well.

"He'll be alright, Y/N" Zart noticed I was absent and tried to cheer me up. I managed a sad smile to thank him.

"Yeah, he's the best of the Runners" Newt added, friendly nudging me. "He might be a bit of a slinthead, but he's not the Keeper for nothing"

"I appreciate it, guys. But it's fine" They obviously didn't believe me, but they knew how pig-headed I could be.

I was craving Minho, every aspect of him, and I couldn't wait to get back to him.

"Just get back to work" Newt told me, and I nodded.

He didn't mean it in a rude way, but because he knew focusing on it would get my mind off it all. So I did as he said.

It was around the time Minho came back from the Maze, so I stood there by the Doors like I always did. And I felt the same apprehension, that little voice in my head that told me I would stand there waiting and the Doors would close before he arrived.

When I saw him turning a corner and jogging towards me, I let out a heavy sigh of relief. He was there, he was safe and unharmed.

"Minho!" I jumped up and down in excitement, my heart beating like crazy at the sight of him.

He was loudly wheezing as he jogged to the Glade to meet me. The expression in his face told me something had gone wrong in there.

"Hi" He muttered as he stopped to catch his breath, out of the entrance to the Maze.
