The Maze Runner IMAGINES/one shots

Running By My Side

Thomas/Reader

We wait together at the doors. It is dawn and they will be opening any moment. Thomas is in front of me, holding my face in his hands firmly, studying my eyes nervously.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks, a worried edge to his voice.

"Yes. I'll be by your side the whole time, right?"

He nods, then pulls me forward and his lips collide with mine. I feel his bottom lip slightly quivering, like he's going to cry out any moment now. I pull back and see his eyes watering.

"I'm sorry." He says looking away and dropping his hands.

"Aw. Thomas it's okay to cry." I rest my hand on his shoulder.

He looks back up at me, his eyes still watering, "It's just that I don't want you to get hurt because of me. I need you to be safe."

I stroke his arm, "I will be safe with you."

A tear begins to roll down his cheek. He brushes it away quickly with his hand and sniffles. A rumbling sound startles me and I look to my left. The maze doors are beginning to open. I look back at Thomas and he nods.

"Ready?"

"Ready." I reassure him.

He presses his lips against mine one last time before jogging into the maze. I run to catch up to him. We glance at eachother and he smiles.

"Stay safe."

A/N: Sorry. The first few weren't really smut. I will make some that are more involved with that content. Comment requests too.
