Gally ~ The Maze Runner Imagines

Protective

"Hey (Y/N), here let me give you a hand." Thomas smiled as he grabbed one of the baskets you'd been carrying.

"Thanks, so how're you settling in the first couple of days are always hard." You smiled as you set the baskets down so Frypan could sort them out and headed back to the gardens to fetch another basket.

"Yeah it's a lot harder than you guys make it look, pretty sure my backs going to hurt tomorrow." He chuckled and you let out a laugh.

"(Y/N)!" You turned to see Gally waiting for you to come over to him and patted Thomas' arm.

"You'll get used to it, do me a favour and tell Newt I'll be a little longer." You waved and jogged over to Gally who shot a glaring glance at Thomas once your back was turned.

Newt was laughing to himself when Thomas reached the gardens. It wasn't hard to miss the fact that since Thomas had come up in the box Gally had been keeping a closer eye on you. Even though Gally insisted he was keeping you safe Newt knew better, finding the whole ordeal overly funny, occasionally teasing Gally about it.

"Is it just me or does Gally hate everyone?" Thomas asked as he grabbed one of the tools.

"No he just doesn't like anyone who's overly friendly to (Y/N)." Newt chuckled when Thomas glanced over to where Gally was still talking to you.

"Why are they... together?" Thomas asked and Newt shook his head.

"No, when she came up in the box there was a huge storm and we had to force the doors open, by the time we did she was pretty sick Gally was the one that climbed half way down to get the cage open." Newt stopped when Thomas huffed.

"I thought the box only unlocked when they sent stuff up?" He asked and Newt nodded.

"It was on its way up and got stuck, dropped back down again, she was in part where it's just walls so a lot of the rain just got trapped in there with her." Newt paused when you hurried over. "He's still pretty protective of her but he won't admit that he likes her."

"Here Minho said you wanted a drink." Thomas mumbled as he handed you a jar.

"Thanks." You smiled and took a deep sip.

"How can you drink that?" Thomas asked as you took another sip.

"It's pretty good once you're used to it, here." You held the cup up for him and he tried a bit and crinkled his nose.

"I'm never going to get used to that." He said through a cough.

After a few minutes of talking to yourselves one of the Gladers hurried over to tell you that Thomas had been challenged to a fight. He won the first few, Alby hurried out of the homestead as the meeting with the others ended, everyone expected him to break up the fight ring but he decided to have a go and declared he'd let Thomas win.

"Go on Thomas." You yelled as Newt stood next to you and started laughing at his friend struggling to fight one of the builders.

When the builder won Gally stepped up to take a turn. Thomas managed to win the first fight and you watched as Alby and Minho started to push to the front of the crowd. Gally started to push a little harder, everyone knew he'd go easier on people who weren't builders.

"Gally." Alby warned when Thomas was slammed into the ground, making it clear that Gally was taking out his.

"Gally!" You yelped and he got up, looking at you with surprise as caught his breath. "Leave him be."

Gally glanced back at Thomas and the entire Glade seemed to fall silent. He barged his way through the crowd and headed over to the homestead. You went to hurry after Gally but Alby stopped you and followed him instead.
