Chapter Text
It was 4 am, Minho was woken up by saliva building up in his mouth, cold sweat running all over his body, and a pounding headache.
He covered his mouth with his hands, Minho didn't waste time he got up and ran straight to the bathroom.
Minho reached the bathroom and swung the door open, and vomited into the toilet. Cold sweat ran down Minho's face, and he started to breathe heavily.
But before he could process everything that was happening, the nausea came back, and he vomited again.
A few minutes went by and Minho was sitting on the floor, he was breathing heavily, and sweating like crazy.
Minho started to think to himself.
‘Food poisoning?’ he thought.. No it couldn't be he hasn't eaten anything all day, then…what was it?
Whatever it was, it's gone, and Minho was just revealed.
Minho stood up, flushed the toilet for the first time. The safe haven has added some sort of plumbing system to some houses since some shanks used to be plumbers, before the Flare.
though he didn't fully understand how it worked…
It's kinda like when the glade had water pipes where the gladers got their water from, maybe it's something like that? Who knows.
Minho grabbed a towel and cleaned his face and hands and started heading back to his and gally's room. Whilst walking down the hallway he saw the light of the moon shining though the living room…
He tip-toed to the living room and saw the moon shining at its fullest.
It was mesmerizing…
Minho's hand was suddenly on the door handle, he looked back wondering if Gally had woken up…he hadn't. Minho quietly opened the door and headed out.
It was beautiful outside.
The way the moon reflected off the ocean, and light breeze that smelt like the salty ocean.
“Perfect” Minho muttered.
He started walking down the beach to sit at his usual spot but then something or more specifically someone caught his eye.
Thomas…
Minho saw Thomas on the beach every now and then but only throughout the day…never during the night.
Should he say something or leave him alone? Does he want to be alone or…
“I can practically feel your eyes staring down on me Minho…”
Oh- well never mind then
“Oh, I'm sorry…”
Minho started to feel guilty, he felt like he interrupted something.
“Heh..don't sweat it”
Minho nodded and slowly went over and sat down next to Thomas looking out into the ocean with him. They didn't talk for a while, they just sat there enjoying the fresh ocean breeze.
Minho was curious as to why Thomas was out here… should he ask? Or should he just stay silent the whole time…
“So…uhm, what brings you out here tonight?”
Thomas' eyes widened, he was clearly caught off by the question.
“I uh…I had a nightmare…”
Thomas looked away from Minho and hugged his knees.
“I had a nightmare about…Newt”
Minho's heart dropped…oh Thomas…
Minho scooted closer to Thomas and hugged him. Minho wanted to ask what it was about, but he held himself back, right now he needs to comfort Thomas, he can ask questions later…
Thomas was curled up into a small ball sobbing away, though the sound of the waves hitting the shore covered up sound.
“I'm sorry”
“No, it's okay, really.”
Thomas lifted his head up, his eyes already turned red from crying…
“I just…why didn't I tell him sooner, why didn't he tell me sooner?”
Thomas let out a sigh..
That's right the two had feelings for each other…but they never had the time to tell each other… until it was too late.
“Thomas you both were so nervous, we all were…it was all too much, for you, me, Newt…and its not your faul-”
“YES IT IS! HE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF ME!!”
Thomas pushed Minho away from him.
“IF ONLY I HADN'T GONE OVER MY HEAD SO MUCH HE STILL BE ALIVE MINHO!”
His eyes were puffy, tears were flowing down Thomas' face like waterfalls…his eyes filled with guilt, anger, and sadness all at once…
Then fear came over Thomas, his hands were shaking raptly.
“I-I, Minho…I'm so sorry”
Thomas covered his face with his shaky hands.
Minhio wanted to let out tears of his own…What should he do…What can he do…He felt so useless at that moment, what can he do to help Thomas..?
Minho took one of Thomas' hands and intertwined it with his own.
“Thomas…there's nothing to be sorry about. You have every right to be upset…you've been through a lot.”
“So have you…Minho.”
He has, hasn't he, more times than he can count.
“It's my fault all of you were in that stupid fucking maze! All of you! Newt, Alby, Zart, Winston, Gally, Ben, you! Everyone!! It's all my fault…all of it.”
Minho tightens his grip on Thomas’ hand...
“No it's not Thomas…you were being manipulated at a young age, remember you were also a prisoner at Wicked as well.”
“We've been through a lot together Thomas…and I want to end it together as well.”
Thomas let out a small chuckle and started wiping his tears away, though it seems that his tears keep on going.
“Ive always been so grateful to have you by my side Minho.”
The two looked at each other with hope and reinsurance. They have been through everything together, running in the maze together, and seeing their friends die together as well…
“Yeah, I've been told.”
The two were laughing together, holding each other's hand, while the moon shined so beautifully in the night sky.
“You want to sleep at my place? Since you live far away from here?”
“Would Gally be okay with that?”
“He will don't worry. Plus it's my house to shank!”
The pair got up from the shore and started heading towards Minho's place.
They didn't talk much the way there, Thomas was just wiping his tears away with his hands, whilst Minho was looking down at the sand.
Minho looked up and saw they had reached near his home, but there was someone on his porch?!
At first Minho thought it was some random burglar.But as they got closer he got a better view of the person; it was no burglar.
It was Gally.
He most likely saw that Minho wasn't in bed with him anymore and went to go look for him.
Their eyes met, Gally smiled at Minho looking relieved.Then he saw Thomas with him and he quickly switched to confusion.
Minho was the first to reach Gally, Thomas came second. Gally gestured to Thomas to go inside, Thomas nodded and headed inside, leaving him and Minho alone.
Gally opened his mouth to speak but Minho shushed him with a kiss.
“I'll tell you tomorrow. Come on, it's rude leaving guests inside alone.”
Gally sighed, he kissed Minhio on the forehead and followed him inside.
