gally || accidental confession

(maze runner)

Your POV:

"Why don't you and your eyebrows just mind your own business, Gally," I groaned, as I continued to hammer new wood planks onto the homestead.

"We wouldn't be having this conversation if you knew how to do your job. For Christ's sake, y/n, you're holding the hammer wrong!" Gally gestured to my hand where the claw of the hammer was facing outward.

"What, this? Just in case you don't stop talking this is my way of shutting you up," I rolled my eyes and turned the hammer to continue my work.

With that, I swung the hammer and felt a sharp pain in the back of my hand.

"Oh my god, y/n, come here," from the tool kit around his belt he pulled out a roll of gauze. Gally took my hand and wrapped it with the gauze. His calloused fingers felt oddly calming. It's not a kink I swear.

"Thanks, Gally," I mumbled, rubbing the bandaged hand.

He nodded, "Now go see Jeff so he can check it out." I nodded back and headed to the med-jacks.

I know it was only a hand injury, but I took the opportunity to take a nap in one of the cots.

"What do I do, Jeff? She drives me crazy but I find it attractive? What is attraction anyways?" A deep, annoyed voice woke me up.

"I don't know, Gally, I'm not a shrink," I think it was Jeff that replied.

"A what?"

"A therapist!" Just then at the worst moment, I let out a sneeze, causing me to bolt up.

"Y/n!" I looked to my right to see Gally and Jeff at the doorway, Gally with wide eyes. "How much of that did you hear?"

"How much of what? I didn't hear anything. Who are you...?" I panicked! I didn't know what to do, plus I'm a terrible liar. Gally didn't respond he only ran to who knows where.

"Gally wait!" I quickly got up from the bed and ran after him.

-

It's been two days. TWO DAYS since the incident with Gally. At first I assumed he wasn't talking about me but his silent treatment has proven me otherwise. And guys say girls are the ones who hold grudges.

"Hey, Newt," I approach the British boy as he just finished a conversation with Alby.

"Y/n! What's up?" He smiled at me.

"Can I ask you something?" I sighed. He nodded. "Has Gally said anything about me recently?"

"Uh lemme think. Actually, the other day I heard him call you an arse... should I be telling you the truth?"

I cocked an eyebrow," that son of a—" I was quickly cut off.

"Language," Newt reminded and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Thanks, Newt," I laughed and ran off to find Gally.

When I found him, he was sat in the Glade eating lunch with some of the other builders.

"Gally, can we talk?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Why don't you talk to Newt? I bet you'd rather do that," he said in a harsh tone. As he said that, the others sitting with us slowly and awkwardly got up and went back to their jobs, leaving me and Gally.

"Gally, what's wrong? Talk to me!" I poked his shoulder and he groaned.

"Quit it! I literally confessed everything right in front of you and you're acting like it's no big deal!" He tried standing up to walk away but I pulled it arm, making him sit back down.

"I mean maybe it is maybe it isn't. I'm kinda flattered," I said half joking.

"I just really hate feelings. You make me have feelings but I don't hate you..." He said, juggling words.

"Well I don't hate you either," I laughed. "Does this make us a thing or something? I'm not entirely sure how this works."

"Baby steps, y/n. Baby steps."
