He Gets Upset, You Cheer Him Up

A/N: Minho's is way longer than the others'. Oops.

This was suggested by @HumanPikachuGirl

It's raining and I can hear thunder. It's so relaxing.

I TAKE THAT BACK! JUST AS I FINISHED TYPING THAT IT GOT REALLY LOUD!

At least I'm not Minho ;)

Gally:

"Nobody believes me."

Those three words, coming from Gally's mouth, broke your heart. He sounded so dejected, so hurt, and it was so unlike him.

The two of you were sitting in the lookout, staring down at the Glade below you when you asked him what was wrong. Gally had made it clear that he didn't like Thomas, but very few people cared to find out why, most of them putting it down to one of Gally's 'moods'.

You knew why, though. You hadn't been through the Changing yourself, but you knew Gally well enough to know when he was telling the truth; he had seen Thomas in the Changing. That was a fact.

You pull him in closer to you, so that his head was resting on your shoulder. It should have been a rather awkward position, to be honest, with him being so much taller than you, but somehow it was comfortable to you both.

"Gally," you began. "You can't expect everyone to be on your side all of the time. Especially when you have such strong opinions-"

"Yeah, but they need to understand, Y/N. He's dangerous! I know it!"

"I wasn't finished, Gally. I wasn't going to say 'so give up'. I was going to say 'I'll help you'."

Gally looked confused, so you explained.

"I believe you, Gal. Wholeheartedly. If you say you saw Thomas in the Changing, then you saw Thomas in the Changing. No doubt about it. I'll help you convince the others, if you want. They could use a few different opinions on this; you know how hard Minho and Alby are to sway."

Gally nodded, his head still resting upon your shoulder.

"Good that," he sighed. "I'm just glad I have you, Y/N."

"And I'm glad I have you, Gally."

You turned your head and placed a small kiss on the top of his head, trying to ignore the terrible feeling you had; something bad was bound to come of this, no matter what. The only consolation was that you had Gally to fight alongside whatever came your way.

And, together, you were a force to be reckoned with.

Minho:

You knew something was wrong the second you saw him emerge from the map room with Alby; Minho looked defeated. It was a kind of expression you'd never seen him wear before, and the sight of it made everything you knew feel upside down.

As he got closer to you, it was even more obvious that something was really wrong. He avoided eye contact, staring at the ground as he approached you. He looked as though he was on the brink of a breakdown.

"Minho, what's wrong?" your voice quavered.

"Not here," he said, grabbing your elbow and leading you to the Deadheads, where nobody could interrupt your conversation. Once he'd found a spot far enough from the other Gladers, he began pacing back and forth, scratching his head so hard you were sure it hurt.
