The Maze Runner Preferences

He Teases You

A/N: I can't stop smiling at gifs of Dylan O'Brien laughing. Do yourself a favour and look them up next time you're sad. You won't regret it XD

P.S.: The New Component and Maze Runner: The Musical have been updated today (woo!). So go check 'em out if you read those thingies.

Gally:

Gally loved picking on people. It was just what he did. 

And you were the only girl in the Glade.

The maths was easy.

"Hey, Y/N? Can you help me carry this piece of paper over here? Or are your girlish muscles too weak?" he yelled across the Glade one day, for everyone to hear.

"I'm more concerned with the fact that you need help carrying a piece of paper, Gally. Maybe we need a new Keeper of the Builders?"

That shut him up for now, but the next day he was back at it again.

"Hey, Y/N, are you still fixing your hair and makeup or are you coming to dinner?"

"I'll be done when Minho's done!"

The anguished cry from Minho's general direction led you to believe he'd heard that one. Oops. 

Gally kept at it, day after day, but you always had a comeback at the ready. You weren't going to let him bring you down just yet. You'd been going pretty well until one day he took it too far.

"Y/N, why are you so grumpy this week?" he asked, over lunch. "On your period?"

You stood up, slamming your hands down hard on the table, knocking someone's drink over in the process.

"That is it, Gally! I've had enough of this! I'd like to see you last one day, let alone one week bleeding from your uterus. I'd like to see you try to make it through painful cramps for hours at a time, with not even one painkiller to soothe them. Most of all, I'd like to see you do all that while maintaining your cool with this absolute slinthead of a shank who can't even begin to understand how much more girls have to cope with than guys! You know what, I wasn't going to point it out because, unlike you, I'm actually a decent human being, but I saw you  crying over that splinter last week. Fancy that, tough-as-nails Gally can't even cope with a tiny splinter! How about, next time you open that freakishly huge mouth of yours, you consider what it is you're about to say, and decide whether it's worth losing your ability to have children, because next time you say something like that, my foot is going straight between your legs. Hard."

You got up and stomped away, knowing well that Gally wouldn't bother you again for a long, long time.

Minho:

Minho wasn't always the nicest person, but when it came to his domain- when it came to running- he could be especially cruel. 

Sure, you weren't the most coordinated of all the runners. And sure, you might've tripped upon entry to the maze one day when you were still new to the whole thing.

But Minho had never forgotten that incident. In fact, he reminded you of it every single day.

"See you next fall", was his favourite line, upon running into the maze each day.

"Have a nice trip," was another one.

They weren't very original, you admitted, but they got to you pretty quickly.
