Your Beating Heart ~Minho~

"I still can't believe what you have done, (Y/N)", Minho shakes his head chuckling, while you two make your way towards the Maze. A bit surprised you furrow your eyebrows, "What? Newt promised that I can be a Runner if I win a fight against Gally."
Your friend shakes his head again, "I know, but how you have done it was just awesome. No one ever gave him a bloody lip! His face was priceless!" A slight smile appears on your lips, when you remember the fight with the Keeper of the Builders. "And I cried, because my hand was hurting like hell!"
That's the moment now where you show everyone what you can. "Are you sure you want to do this?", Minho asks you a little bit worried. It's the first time you are going to run alone in the Maze. For a last time you throw a glance over your shoulder. The sun is rising and somehow you know it's going to be a good day for you. "Sure, what should happen?", you reply sassy...
Heavily panting you run around a corner not really knowing where you are going. The angry Griever behind you doesn't stop chasing you through the Maze. You don't know why the memory of this morning pops into your head right now. There is probably no time to think about your life.
The only way out of this dangerous situation is to focus on the way you are taking. The way back to the Glade. The way back to Minho - your best friend and secret crush. "Minho?", you push the sleeping Runner softly to get his attention. At least the other boys are still sleeping and snoring. "Hey, Minho", you try your luck again with more force this time. Slowly he opens his eyes, "What?" And suddenly your great idea to wake him up isn't great at all anymore.
For a brief moment you search for a good excuse in your head, but there is just chaos. "(Y/N)? What's wrong?", Minho wants to know worried. His brain starts to progress what's happening right now. Your eyes are glued to the ground, "I had a nightmare and now I'm ... scared." You feel a wave of shame catching you that you woke him in the middle of the night. He needs the sleep and the energy.
Minho grabs your hand softly and pulls you closer to him. "Don't be ashamed. We all went through this. Even I had terrible nightmares. Come here", he opens his arms for you to lay down with him. Of course you accept his offer. You rest your head on his chest to hear his heartbeat, which calms you down.
"Better?", the Runner asks almost sleeping again. As an answer you just nod slowly. Maybe you don't know who you really are and where you lived before, but you enjoy your new life. The boys are everything you have. Especially Minho who manages to make you laugh no matter how moody you are. "Hey, what are you doing, shank?", Minho asks you laughing as you look at him with your "What the hell?"-glance. "Did you just call me shank, you shank?", you add to your gesture. The Runner couldn't help himself, but smile how sassy and sweet you can be at the same time.
"I think so, (Y/N). What are you going to do?", he replies wiggling his eyebrows. Teasing you is his favorite part of the day. To his surprise a grin appears on your lips as, while you take the jar out of his hand. "First, I'm going to get your drink, then ... I'll think about step two", you take a sip from the drink.
Usually he would say something sassy, but his brain stopped working in the worst moment. The Keeper of the Runners just looks at you, enjoying how much fun you have staling his drink. It's hard for him to keep a straight face. Minho wouldn't say he's falling in love, because he already did, when he saw you for the first time. Without help you climbed out of the Box, showing everyone which kind of girl you are.
"Are you going to stare at me the whole night?", you snap him out of his thoughts. There is the sassy smile back on his lips as throws you over his shoulder. "No, not really. I just waited for the perfect moment to get my revenge", he finds a good excuse.
"Come on, (Y/N). Where are you?", Minho mumbles really worried. "She is going to make it. There is still time", Newt tries to comfort him, but the Runner doesn't listen to him. The doors will close soon and you haven't shown up yet. What if you hurt yourself and lying somewhere waiting for him? It drives him almost crazy that he couldn't do something. "I can't wait here", he wants to run back into the Maze, but Newt and Thomas hold him back. "Give her time. She is a good Runner." You wouldn't stop running even if your legs are hurting. As fast as you can you run around another corner to see the Glade finally. Unfortunately the doors start to close so you don't have much time left. Apart from this, the Griever behind you still wants to ... you know.
"Faster, (Y/N)! Come on!", the boys are yelling to motivate you. They aren't far away anymore, just a few steps more till you are safe. The only person you see right now is Minho waving his arms. A blind man could see the concern on his face. You won't die, before you tell him what you feel for him.
You almost stumble over your own two feet as you squeeze yourself through the tiny gap of the closing doors. The Gladers are cheering and clapping their hands. But you only have eyes for the Keeper of the Runners. "Oh god! You scared me!", Minho wraps his arms around you tightly.
Because of the tight hug you can feel his fast heartbeat like he yours. "I thought I'm going to lose you... How cliché this sounds", you want to laugh about his silly joke to cover up his fear and concern, but you just take deep breaths. "Are you alright? You are not hurt, right?", Minho wants to know. Softly he pushes you a little bit away to look into your (e/c) eyes.
"I'm fine. Tired and stressed as hell, but fine", you manage to fake a slight smile to calm him down. "You are going to be the death of me, shank", the Keeper shakes his head slowly. "Oh, really? Why?", you reply now really smiling. Minho throws his arms into the air, "Why? You are almost get trapped in the Maze, while a shucking Griever was chasing you! I can't stand to lose you - the person I love!"
He just realizes what he has said, but it's too late to take his words back. "Now you know how I felt every day before I've become a Runner", you reply seriously as you grab his hand. The two of you look at each other for a brief moment. "Are you two going to kiss?", Chuck destroys the romantic moment with his question. Newt grabs his arm and drags him away, "Let them some bloody time alone!"
"Yeah, are we going to kiss now?", Minho winks at you seductively. "To be honest I'm starving right now. I'm going to visit Frypan!", you reply laughing and run towards the Homestead. The Runner stares at you shocked, before he follows you as fast as he can, "You little shank!"
