Newt.
It rarely, rarely happens, but when it does it's never a small thing especially considering you agree on almost everything. You will yell and then Newt will yell louder and then you will scream and then Newt will scream all the while the guys are trying to ignore it, but really they could probably hear it on the other side of the glade. It will end with Newt storming out and venting somewhere else while he leaves you to cool down. You'll sleep separately, but then the next day you can both sit down calmly and talk through it and then before you know it Newt is tucking flowers behind your ears again and the other Gladers are looking on in utter confusion.

Gally.
You've actually never had a major fight with Gally. You have more than the occasional heated discussion, but not much else. In fact those regular angry chats (and by regular I meant once a week) are probably what keep you both so steady.

Minho.
Your fights are usually about Minho running nearly everyday and you want to keep him safe and also insist that his body needs more rest, but his determination kicks in and he utterly refuses to stop running. Neither of you actually yell and it will end with him leaving you to go for his run, but the whole situation is diffused when you see him return safely that afternoon. It only happens on rare days when you just have a bad feeling.

Thomas.
Thomas is quite calm and never yells back. You can scream at him until you're blue in the face, but he'll just stand there calmly until you're done. Sometimes you find that more infuriating than if he were yelling and it doesn't help, but other times you know that it would have been worse if he had yelled back.
