He's a Keeper (Maze Runner fanfiction)

Awkward Encounter

     Jesse laid there, staring at Minho, just speechless.
    "Don't go out there. It's dangerous." He said, locking eyes with her. His voice sent shivers down her spine again, but this time not because it was cool and inviting.
     "Um...can you move? Kinda in my personal space..." Jesse said, her face heating up.
     "Whatever, greenie." He said sarcastically with a smirk on his face. He got up, brushed the dirt of his pants, and offered his hand for her to take. She took it, and he swiftly hauled her up.
      She turned to go.
      "Wait, um...Jesse, right? Don't go outside those walls, okay?" He asked.
       "Whats out in the Maze that's so wrong?" Jesse inquired, crossing her arms over her chest.
     "Grievers. Its big enough to get lost in. Look Jesse, nothing personal, but it's just too dangerous." He remarked.
     "Okay fine.." She stressed the fine, and playfully punched his arm.
     "Oh, you're gonna pay for that, greenie!" He chuckled, and began to chase her around. He made sure to go a bit slower than her just to tease her.
     "You're gonna have to catch me!" Jesse exclaimed. And with that, he sped up and flung her arm around. That sent her bouncing to the ground, landing on her butt with her arms behind her to keep her up. That's when she realized that the boys she'd been introduced to nearly an hour ago, Newt, Thomas, and Chuck stood chuckling and whispering.
     "Someone has a girlfriend!"
     "They're gonna makeout in the map room!"
       "Bloody shank's got a lover!"
      Minho and Jesse were redder than the tomatoes in the gardens.
       "Shut up, the lot of you." Minho said, going over and ruffling Newt's and Thomas's hair, roughhousing around. "Oh and Jesse?" He turned around. "See ya later!" He said coolly, still roughhousing and walking off. She couldn't fight the smile creeping across her face.
----this time skip is brought to you by WICKED :D----

     A few hours later, it was time for everyone to 'settle in'. Minho jogged up to her right as Jesse was putting a mat down on the grass.
      "Um, Jesse, I've been thinking. It'd be kinda weird if you slept with over 20 teenage boys all by yourself.."
    "I guess.." She replied.
    "This sounds so wrong, and I really, really don't mean it that way. But, maybe it would safer to sleep with me." He said, fumbling over words.
     "I don't know everyone, really except Newt, Thomas, and Chuck, but you're the one I know the most." Jesse shrugged, laying down.
      "So, you gonna come or am I gonna have to stand here?" He asked sassily.
      "I guess..Could be worse. Chuck could've asked me!" She whispered and the both giggled quietly. He led her to a hut-like room with a bed and a small dresser.
      "You can have the bed, I insist. I have a comfy mat." She said.
     "If you say so." He replied and tossed her a pillow to sleep on.
