The Maze Runner imagines (previously Newt Imagine #1)

Minho, "Secrets"

"Alright gladers, remember we're looking for a way out and it's your job to find it." Alby said at the tired group of runners that were drifting in and out of the conversation. "I haven't been impressed with the amount of effort later so I want you to switch partners and routes, find the flaw." Alby continued as some of them started to protest. Your running partner was your lifeline if anything happened to you, you had to trust them. It couldn't just be anyone. You were starting to get mad when Minho spoke up. "I know this isn't what we're used to but it'll be a good chance to find a new friend and prove someone wrong." Minho said in runner leader style. Considering this he boys shuffled around a bit and started on getting a new partner.

Minho approached you, the room was going slowly into chaos with all the runners trying to find the right partner. "So, y/n." Minho said smirking at you. You raised your eyebrows "Yes, Minny." You said using his nickname courtesy of Chuck. He frowned "I was going to ask if you wanted to be my partner but not if you're going to call me that." He says sulking. You laugh and hit him gently. "I was kidding shuck face, 'course I'll be your partner." You say giving him your winning smile. He smiled back, "good." He said and then wandered off. You shook your head before following him, you didn't want to be stuck wit the fight that was now quickly escalating. You figured you had experienced enough action for the day and headed to bed.

You were woken up the next day by Minho roughly shaking you. "Wake up y/n" he whispered. You groaned and slowly rolled out of bed. You followed Minho into the map room as he turned on a light. "Why are we up before the other runners?" You ask rubbing your eyes. Minho shoots you a grin, "Because we have to calculate everyone's route." He said. For the next hour you talking about which pairing would have which route for the rest of the week. All the runners showed up and after a de-brief you all headed out.

Minho and you were halfway done your route when you took a break. Chugging some water you were about to speak when you saw the look on Minho's face. "What's up?" You ask. "Y/n, I have something I have to tell you." He says much more seriously then he usually is. You nod and let him continue "There's no way out, I've run this entire thing, twice, there isn't an exit." He says his words rushing at the end. You take a minute an think about what he said. "Alby doesn't know?" You question and Minho shakes his head. "Everyone in this shucking place is putting all of their hope on us." Minho says "We are the only chance all of 'em have to get out of here." He continues. "You're the only other one that knows, and I'd like it if you kept it that way." Minho says sitting down shakily. You go over and give him a hug as a tear formed. What were you suppose to do if there was no way out?
