Gally Imagines

gally imagine sixteen pt. three

briefly back :)

Thomas, Newt, and Gally get back in the middle of the night but I'd already been up for about an hour racing Brenda around the compound to test my leg. She beat me everytime but she can beat me even when I'm in top condition.
Gally radioed in that they're on their way back so Brenda, Frypan, Jorge, and I went to wait in a large room with a huge table that fits all of us and hundreds of diagrams of the WCKD headquarters on every available space.
"So, Fry told me all about Captain Gally." Brenda says to me in a low voice and I blush.
"What about him?" I try to ask nonchalantly, but my voice cracks.
"Not much. Just that you two had quite a thing going but Minho speared him." Brenda says. Somehow she can say such sensitive things so bluntly, but you don't get offended.
"Yup, that was basically it." I chuckle and she smiles too.
"Well if he ever acts up, make sure he knows I'm not afraid to spear him again." she jokes and lightly bumps me with her hip.
"If we even get back together." I mutter and Brenda rolls her eyes.
"You'll get back together."
"Fine, then if we even survive this."
"We're all gonna survive this."
¬
"No there's gotta be another way." Thomas argues and we all get even more frustrated with him.
"Like what? You've seen the building, she's our only way in." Gally reasons and I nod in agreement. Brenda catches my eye and smirks.
"You really think she's gonna help us?" Thomas asks.
"I don't plan on asking for her permission." Gally fires back.
The boys informed us that Teresa is working for WCKD as a doctor or something. Gally thinks she'll help us get in the building if Thomas asks but he doesn't want to do it.
"Am I missing something here? This is the same girl that betrayed us, correct? Same dick?" Brenda asks Thomas angrily.
"I like her." Gally says and points at Brenda. I stare at him and he seems to realize what he said, "Not like that! You're just cool." he backpedals and now everyone is staring at him.
"It's fine, Gal." I tell him and change the subject back, "Come on Thomas this is for Minho. I hate Teresa but I'll work with her to save him."
"What's going on?" Brenda asks Thomas in a gentle voice. He stays silent.
"What, are you afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt?" Newt asks angrily, speaking for the first time since they got back, "Hm? This has obviously never just been about rescuing Minho."
"What are you talking about?" Thomas asks and we're all staring at the usually kind and calm Newt who's starting to yell.
"Teresa! She's the only reason Minho's even missing in the first place and now we finally have an opportunity to get him back and what? You don't want to because of her?" Newt's voice raises as he stands and starts to back Thomas against the wall, "Just admit it."
"I don't-,"
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" he shouts and shoves Thomas into the wall, "DON'T. LIE. TO ME."
"Newt, please..." I say gently as I step forward and lay a cautious hand on his arm, but his elbow jets out and catches me in the chin.
"Hey!" Gally shouts as I stagger back a step. The others all move forward but I wave them back.
"It's okay, I'm fine." I promise as Gally pulls me towards him and tilts my head to look at my chin.
"I'm sorry. Sorry." Newt mumbles, his anger suddenly gone as he walks out of the room.
¬
Thomas comes back from checking on Newt with a solemn look on his face. We'd all been discussing what could've made him erupt like that.
"Did anything happen to him in the City?" I ask Gally.
"No, I don't think so." he says after thinking for a minute.
"Maybe seeing Teresa's shank ass put him off. I know it'd put me in a bad mood." Frypan guesses and Brenda quickly agrees.
"No this seems like the beginning of-," Jorge starts but he's cut off by Thomas walking in.
"He has the Flare." he tells us and my stomach drops, "It's early stages but it's definitely getting worse."
"That's impossible, everyone in the Maze was Immune. WCKD told us themselves." Frypan argues desperately.
"Wow, WCKD lied again. I'm shocked." Gally says sarcastically and I can tell he's fuming. This is a terrible situation but the silver lining is the Gally I knew in the Maze wouldn't have really cared if Newt (or really anybody other than me) got torn apart by a Griever. He's grown up a lot and became much more empathetic in our time away from each other.
"What should we do now?" Brenda asks and Thomas squares his shoulders.
"Newt wants us to focus on rescuing Minho, no matter what the cost. So let's go get Teresa." he says.
¬
Gally takes us to an abandoned church in the city where we can interrogate Teresa after him and Thomas grab her.
"So how did you get so good at kidnapping?" I tease Gally while we lay around the church, running out the clock until Teresa gets out of "work". I wouldn't call torturing innocent Immunes a job but it's what she does for a living so. Thomas and Gally need to stay out of sight as much as possible because of the WCKD trackers in our necks, so they aren't heading out until 7 p.m.
Everyone is discussing the plan for the hundredth time but Gally and I are taking this time to be irresponsible.
"Oh you know, just kept practicing in case I ever saw you. And look at that! It actually worked." he answers and pokes my stomach which makes me laugh and I shove him. I never thought I'd be able to relax and mess around with the man I love ever again.
"Remember that time we tricked Winston into using my shower and Alby yelled at him for like an hour?" I giggle and Gally's deep laugh joins me.
"How about when Zart first got to the Glade and we told him that Fry hated him and was putting rocks in his food so he lived off everybody's scraps for a month? We got in so much trouble for that." Gally reminds me and we both laugh again. Before Gally got stung the first time, he was the king of messing with people.
We get quiet for a few minutes. It's nice to think about the Glade but it also hurts more than anything. So many of our friends are gone.
"Gally, finding you was everything. I wanted to survive all this and be happy with everyone still alive, but I would've been fine with dying because I thought then at least I'd be with you." I admit to him. I haven't told anyone that. Up until right now, it was my dark secret.
Gally pulls me closer to him and he kisses me hesitantly, but quickly it turns rough. His grip on the back of my neck is tight and his other is feeling along my good leg. I try to run my hands through his hair like I used to but his new haircut makes it impossible. I hear a wolf whistle from across the church and we break away to see our friends smiling at us, except Thomas who's trying to look disappointed.
"Let's go, you shank!" Thomas calls to him and Gally kisses my forehead before heading out.
¬
"Good morning traitor!" I yell in Teresa's face as Gally pulls the bag off her head. She looks around at each of us and her eyes widen as they fall on him.
"Gally?" she gasps and I chuckle. Been there.
"Here's how this us gonna go," he starts, all business, "we're gonna ask you some questions and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll start off simple: where's Minho?"
"You guys don't seriously think-," Teresa is interrupted by Gally slamming his chair down in front of her and sitting down. She's annoyingly staring at Thomas with her damsel in distress eyes.
"Don't look at him. Why are you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you. Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?" Gally demands. Brenda elbows me, points to Gally, and gives me a thumbs up, which makes me smile proudly.
Truthfully I think that him interrogating her is super hot and if this wasn't a high pressure, time sensitive situation then we'd go somewhere private and fuck. I just realized we haven't had sex in a year. We're gonna need to change that soon.
"He's with the others in holding. Sub level three." Teresa says curtly and I'm snapped back to reality, away from my fantasies of Gally.
"How many others?" Newt asks.
"Twenty eight."
Gally looks back at us and Brenda responds, "We can make that work."
"No, no you guys don't understand, the whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumb print ID." Teresa tells us and I roll my eyes.
"That's why you're gonna come with us." Thomas tells her.
"Well I don't know. You don't necessarily need her, right? Just her thumb." Gally says and picks up the scalpel we brought. I pluck it out of his hands before he does something stupid.
"It doesn't matter. Do whatever you want to me. You won't get far with those trackers in your neck." she says.
"Don't tempt us. It's a real possibility after what you did." I hiss and Teresa looks down at the floor.
"We're tagged, property of WCKD right? Well you're gonna help us with that." Thomas says and I toss her the scalpel.
"Are you serious?" she scoffs and I shove Gally out of the chair and take his seat in front of her.
"Deathly. Go for it."
"Fine. But this is gonna sting Y/N." Teresa says with a sigh and before I can respond, the scalpel is digging into the back of my neck.
"Shit!" I yell and pull away from her. Gally and Brenda are by my side in a second.
"I just made the first incision. That part of your neck is very sensitive for the specific reason that WCKD didn't want you to be able to dig it out yourselves." Teresa explains and even though it makes perfect sense, just her saying it bothers me.
"Well that's why you're getting it out and not us. You work for them so just do it." I scowl and turn back around so she can continue.
"You okay?" Brenda and Gally ask me at the same time and then exchange a wary look. It seems so ridiculously normal that my best friend and my possible boyfriend are interacting.
"I'm fine." I promise and Brenda slowly walks back towards the others but Gally decides to stay with me. A second later I have to bite down on my lip to keep from crying out.
"Ok you're done." Teresa says and shows me my bloody tracker.
"Thank you." I say to her and I actually mean it. I feel like a weight has been lifted. She seems surprised that I showed her even that little kindness.
"Hey Y/N can we talk-," Teresa starts but she's cut off by Gally quickly pulling me out of the chair.
"No you can't talk to her. Newt you're up!" Gally says angrily and we walk away from her but I look back. Her eyes are sad. I don't want to but I feel bad for Teresa.
"I think she regrets what she did." I say to Gally quietly and he groans.
"No she doesn't, Y/N. She's just trying to make you feel bad for her. I've known since we first met that shank that she was bad news and you didn't believe me then and she did all that shit and you're gonna fall into her trap again?" Gally groans and rolls his eyes.
"I'm sorry, are you annoyed with me?" I scoff and Gally looks like he's about to start a whole fight when he takes a deep breath and all the anger flows away.
"No baby, I'm not. Of course not. It doesn't matter." Gally says and kisses me once before smiling down at me. I'm confused but also pleasantly surprised.
"It doesn't?" I ask and he laughs lightly.
"No." he says and places his hand on my waist before kissing me again. When we pull away I understand the look in his eye.
"Where?" I breathe and we both look around. Jorge and Brenda are playing cards while Newt, Frypan, and Thomas are getting their trackers taken out. Nobody is really paying attention to us.
"Ok uh, follow me." Gally says and he leads me to a door that he quickly opens and we get inside. We're literally in the broom closet of a church.
"You realize why this is super weird right?" I giggle as I turn to Gally but the next second he pushes me against the wall and we're making out.
He lifts me up so I'm straddling his waist and he's completely supporting my weight.
We break away for a moment so I can pull off his shirt and we pause when I see the huge scar on his chest from Minho's spear.
"Gally..." I whisper as I gently run my fingers over it.
"Don't touch it." Gally murmurs as he puts me down and he's looking anywhere but at me.
Instead of saying anything, I lay a gentle kiss on it before looking up at Gally. He nods and I smile.
-
I trace lazy swirls across Gally's chest.
"You're never gonna be away from me ever again." Gally says and I nod, unable to speak."I love you." he says and for whatever reason he sounds nervous.
"I love you too. Obviously."
