Maze Runner Imagines (female reader)

Thomas- He tries to impress you (TMR)

Y/N P.O.V

Like everyday, I am working with the builders and today the new huts should be built. Early in the morning I collected the wood together with Gally, Sam and the other boys and now I am cutting the last board. The temperatures are rising and I wipe the sweat from my brow. I finish my work and take a break. It is strange how well I have settled in here, because it has only been 3 months since I was sent up as the first girl in the box. I take a sip from my drink before I start looking for Gally. He has to assign me a task so that I can continue working. Actually the keeper of the builders doesn't like anyone but he seems to like me. Or at least he accept me. When I finally find him, he looks at me exhausted. "Hey is everything okay Gal?" I ask honestly worried. He sighs and shakes his head. "We will need more time for the huts, because some builders have hurt themselves and are not allowed to work any more. And besides, we'll soon have no more materials because the box won't come up for a week." Gally says sighing. I put one hand on his shoulder and smile at him cheerfully. "It'll be alright. I will work with Sam and Leon till evening and the materials will last long enough. If we do this together, we'll make fast progress. Believe me, everything will be fine. Don't you worry." I reassure Gally. He smiles, which is quite a rarity of him, and he relaxes a little. "You're right. How is it possible that you are always right?" Gally asks me with a smile. I laugh and shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. It's a gift." I joke and my eyes land on Newt and Thomas standing by the fields. Thomas tries to throw a stick in the air and catch it again. But the stick slips out of his hand and falls to the ground. While the brunette boy tries to cover up the situation I see that Newt is having a lot of fun with laughing about his friend. I have to giggle because it looks too cute when Thomas is clumsy. When Newt looks over at me, I quickly turn back to Gally and act as if I hadn't seen anything. However, I can't stop grinning when Gally tells me what to do next.

Newt P.O.V.
Thomas and I have a break, so of course he tries to impress Y/N somehow. Even if she doesn't look directly at us, the shank thinks she will notice him. Y/N is just talking to Gally when Thomas starts to throw a stick in the air and catch it. I have no idea in which way Y/N should like it but it is funny to watch. "And is she looking over at us?" Thomas asks hopefully. I shake my head and he throws the stick in the air again. But this time he doesn't catch it and it slips out of his hand. He stumbles forward a bit and I cannot help but laugh out loud. When I look over to Y/N I can see that she is laughing as well. But as soon as our eyes meet, she turns a little red and looks away. "Was she watching?" Thomas asks in panic. I smirk and nod. "Oh yes, she definitely saw that. Of course you had to show off for her. It's your own fault." I respond shrugging. Thomas sighs and looks disappointed. "I will never impress her. Y/N will never notice me." he says and I could see his sadness. I pat him on the back encouragingly. "Hey, Tommy, don't say that! She likes you bloody much. And you should try talking to her normally instead of acting like a crazy shank. Believe me, you have a connection with her and you better use it soon before somebody else does." I advise him. He nods and we go back to the fields together.

*time skip- in the evening *

Y/N P.O.V
Everyone else has finished their work for today except Sam, Leon and me. Even Gally's not working anymore because he has some kind of keeper meeting. My arms are burning as I secure the next board. We actually managed to get all the huts finished except for one. The last one we're just working on and the sun has already disappeared behind the walls. But the Glade shines in a beautiful red light and the pink clouds look like cotton candy. I have no idea where I know cotton candy from but I think that's what it looks like. The other boys have already gone to dinner and I am also starving. Two slicers walk past us to the kitchen and I can see how much Sam and Leon want to stop working now. "Hey guys, you know what? You are done for today. I can do the rest myself." I say to my colleagues. They both look at me in surprise and exchange glances. "Are you sure?" Leon asks and raises an eyebrow. I nod with a smile. "Yes, come on! Go get your food!" I answer and the two of them drop their tools in relief. Then they quickly run to Frypan before I possibly change my mind.
Sighing I take the next board and start to fix this one too.
A quarter of an hour passes before I hear steps beside me and I look up. In front of me stands Thomas, probably the sweetest and at the same time clumsiest boy in the world with a plate in his hand.
"Hey...I thought you might be hungry." he says and smiles at me shyly. Relieved, I breath out and get up. "Oh God, you are my salvation! I'm starving. Thanks a lot." I say with a grin and take the plate. I sit down on a pile of boards and start to eat. "I'll be going now. Bon appetit." Thomas wants to say goodbye but I hold him back. "No, please stay. It's nice to have you with me." I tell him and Thomas looks at me surprised. Then he sits down next to me and an awkward silence develops. "Why are you so quiet now? You're always saying something when you are around the other shanks." I ask in curious and eat some tomato that is lying on my plate. Thomas smiles and looks at me. "Because you are not like the others. I don't want to say the wrong thing to you or hurt you in any way." he admits and looks embarrassed on the floor. I feel a pleasant warmth running through my body and smile because of the compliment. Then I put my empty plate aside and put one hand on Thomas' back. "Hey Tommy, you don't have to be afraid to talk to me. I won't bite and you can talk to me about anything you want." I say cheerfully. My touch on his back makes him blush and I giggle. "Oh Thomas, you are so sweet, I don't know why I didn't dare speak to you." I admit with a laugh and suddenly realize what I actually said. I falter and blush. Thomas next to me looks at me with an open mouth. Then his shocked expression changes into a smirk. "So you think I'm cute?" asks the dark brown-haired boy, wagging his eyebrows. "I- I..." I start and try to talk my way out of it as Thomas comes a little closer. What happened to the shy boy from just now? His face is so close to mine, our noses almost touch. I feel incredibly warm and I hold my breath. "Maybe." I mutter, trying not to look into his dark eyes that drive me crazy. "Good that." Thomas whispers, bridging the last inches between us and our lips touch. The hairs on my arms stand up and I kiss him back. I close my eyes and put my hands on his neck. With my fingertips I paint small circles on his neck, while our kisses become more and more demanding. I notice that Thomas gets goose bumps and I smile against his lips. At some point I interrupt the kiss and smile dreamily at him. "Y/N, will you do me the honour and be my girlfriend?" Thomas asks and I nod happily. "Of course. I love you Tommy."
