He's a Keeper (Maze Runner fanfiction)

Cuddles

----That night----
She had to stay over night because the medjacks thought she needed rest. Man, they're stubborn, Minho thought. He sat by her bed, perching on the balls of his feet and leaning his arms on the bed. It was around 8:00 and the maze doors had already shut. The other Gladers were shouting as they threw twigs and logs into the raging bonfire.
Jesse turned on her side to him. "You can leave, you know?"
Minho sighed. "Not important. Besides, I don't feel like getting drunk and fighting those shanks. But I'd probably win." They laughed in unison.
"Aren't you tired? You've been sitting there for , like, 3 hours." She asked, playing with the thin sheet in her fingers.
"A bit." he replied.
She pat the space next to her. "You could come up here."
He sighed. "I can't. Not tonight. I'm sorry, but visiting hours are almost over."
Her face was probably beet red when she murmured, "..but what if you weren't visiting?.."
He definitely had heard it. Oops.
He stood up and kissed her head. "Good night, princess. I'll see you in the morning..."
He turned away, but she grabbed his hand. "Minho..We know we like each other, right?" She said, looking into his beautiful brown eyes.
"Yeah...What are you sa-?" She cut him off.
"I'm saying...this." She grabbed his collar and pulled him into a long, passionate kiss.
When they pulled away, he whispered, "I love you..."
"I love you too..." She felt a chill in the air. All the other Gladers must've gone to bed. She breathed out a small, puffy cloud of white steam.
"Cold?" He asked, already standing up.
"I'll be okay.." She obviously wouldn't, but she hoped that it didn't show.
He climbed onto the bed behind her and instinctively pulled the blanket up, put an arm protectively around her waist, and cuddled her closer. She could stay in his strong arms forever, his heartbeat lulling her to sleep, and the calming silence of the Glade that she knew wouldn't last forever.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm ending this story here. Its basically how they would normally get out (in the book) and it goes on from there. Later, I might write a prequel (she's in WICKED) or when they're in the Scorch. I'm currently writing a Johnlock fic so stay tuned! ~Emma<3
