Thomas and Gally didn't know what started this whole thing between them. They were fighting about something, don't even remember what they were fighting about, one second they were going back and forth the next Thomas was pinned to a tree and he and Gally were making out. That's how this all started.
Was a make out in the woods, against the tree. Gally broke whatever spell was put on them first. He pulled away and looked at Thomas, almost like he was trying to read him. Thomas was staring at him in the eyes. After finding whatever Gally was looking for he kissed the other again. But this time it was softer.
Thomas felt wanted and almost… safe in the way that Gally was kissing and holding him. That scared the shit out of him if he was 100% honest.
They avoided each other for a week after that. They both didn't know exactly what to do or even how to feel about what happened. They both pretended it didn't happen and weren't around each other for a week. Which was easy because Thomas is a runner and Gally is the keeper of the builders.
Then Gally woke up to Thomas in the middle of the night shaking him and telling him that they needed to talk. They spent the next hour talking before Gally kissed him again. Gally opened up a bit about not wanting to get close to someone because that would make them soft.
But he would like to do this with Thomas, he would like to try.
They fell asleep and woke up next to each other, which they both didn't know how to feel about but they felt good in a way that they both couldn't have explained. Thomas had marks on his neck from where Gally’s mouth was last night. With Gally, it was the scratches on his back and arms from Thomas's nails.
He got a kiss goodbye from Thomas before he ran to meet Minho so they could run, who kissed Newt before running into the Maze. Gally made sure not to look at Newt as he walked away but he saw Newt smirking at him.
Gally had a bad feeling in his gut that something bad was gonna happen but he brushed it off to do his work and get it done. He helped make new planters and is starting to build huts for the people to sleep in at night. They are getting colder and they need more protection from the outside.
Around the time that the runners were supposed to get back, Gally walked to stand with Newt by the doors.
They weren't there. They weren't even around the corner to come back. So Gally stood there watching, waiting for the two with Newt.
Frypan walked over to make Gally and Newt drink water before he started cooking, Gally nodded to him and Newt muttered a small thank you before Fry ran off to cook for them.
When the temperature dropped a bit and the sun started to go down. That’s when Gally started to panic a little, even with Newt's little mumbles of him cussing out Minho, “If you fucking die on you stupid fucking asshole I’ll kill you myself…” Gally chuckles a little.
But that didn't last, that feeling came back when he looked over at the doors again. Come on Tommy baby, come back, Gally thought as he shoves his hands in his pockets, keeping himself from pacing and freaking out Chuck even more.
“Do you think something went wrong?” Chuck whispers in a small voice, Gally barely hears the younger one. He looks over to the younger one, who looks like he is trying not to cry. He puts a hand on his shoulder as a small attempt to give some comfort to the kid, who leans into the touch, “No, they're fine. They'll be back soon.”
Gally was only going on faith there. He had no way of knowing or not, but if it brought a small comfort to Chuck, he would do anything for the younger kid to feel better. Chuck is like a little bother to Gally, and he knows that too. He takes care of Chuck and Chuck takes care of Gally in his way too. He makes Gally feel human, and that he has something he can control. That is Chuck.
Gally gets more panicked when he hears the door shift to shut. He pulls his hand off Chuck’s shoulder as he looks from the curly-haired boy to the doors. His heart drops.
Minho runs around the corner to the long hallway to the door first. He has always been fast but Thomas is faster. Thomas comes close behind Minho, he looks behind him before just focusing on the doors. Ben follows last, he is further behind than the rest of them.
This isn't that surprising, Ben has never been able to run fast, but he can run for long periods, that's the only reason he was a runner. And the fact that Ben is supposed to be dead.
Gally starts panicking. He knows one of them isn't gonna make it. They aren't all gonna get through those doors.
Every part of Gally's body yells to go to Thomas, but that's only gonna put him in a more dangerous spot. He also knows if he runs in there Thomas is gonna do something even more stupid. So Gally just has to stand by Newt and Chuck, along with the people who are starting to walk over to the doors.
“Go!” Chuck yells to the other ones, and everyone else joins in. Cheering them on seemed to help a bit.
Minho makes it, just by a little, pushing himself through the wall, Newt sobs as Minho’s arms wrap around him.
Gally’s feet move before his mind can stop him, “Thomas!”
Frypan grabs him by the last second before he can even get through those doors, before he can get to Thomas, “Gally no!”
Minho has to grab him as well as he tries to pull against Frypan’s strength. Thomas gets to the door as there is a little sliver and he gets three words out, and three words only before the walls shut and the locks click.
“Gally I love y-”
“NO!” Gally's scream fills the glade after the lock clicks. He elbows Minho and pulls himself away from Frypan to run to the walls. He falls as he gets to the doors and he whispers, “Thomas”
Gally bites his lip trying to think of a way to explain why Ben is still walking, or breathing. His first curled up at the thought of Thomas being trapped there with Ben.
“I thought you said he was dead.” It was a low voice, Minho bit his lip at the tone that Gally was using. He has only used that tone once, and it scares the shit out of Minho.
“We found his bloody shirt and we thought that he-”
“We?!” Gally yells, turning around to face the other, cutting Minho off.
Minho looks away as Newt grabs his hand, holding it, giving him some comfort. “I thought. I thought that he was dead.”
“Well you thought fucking wrong, now Thomas is gonna be trapped in there with a fucked up Ben and the fucking Grivers!” Gally yelled out loud enough for Thomas on the other side of the walls to hear.
Thomas who is trapped under Ben, growls into his eat creepy, making Thomas whole body shiver in disgust, “Your boy toy is freaking the fuck out right now”
The crazed voice makes Thomas' gut wanna claw its way out of his body.
Ben pulls Thomas up with him by his hair. Thomas tries to make a run for it pushing the pain away, but that only makes Ben punch him in the gut, making him fall to the ground again, groaning in pain.
“Well we can't have you running around, can we, little boy?” Ben runs his hand through Thomas' hair, who tries to pull away but Ben tightens his grip on it before pulling his head to look him in the eyes. But Thomas is looking at the ground. He can't look up at Ben, he is too scared to, and he can't bring himself to.
Ben tilts his head to the side, “Whatcha looking at the puppy.”
Thomas wants to throw up. Only Gally calls him puppy or pup and it's not when they are around people, so how did Ben know?
“I've been watching you for weeks now. Petty shame that I have been stuck behind walls. But now I get to play with Gally’s puppy. Maybe even break it before you go back to him.” Ben says just before Gally yells, “No get the fuck off me! I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying here till morning!”
Thomas whines at the sound of Gally’s voice. He shakes his head as Ben whispers heavily into his ear “We are gonna have so much fun tonight pup”
“Gally help me! Gally, please. Fuck no- stop!-” Thomas gets his head slammed against the ground and pain goes through his skull. Tears go into his eyes as pain spreads threw his head. He groans again.
“You don’t get to cry for your daddy, you're mine tonight boy. All mine” Ben let out an inhuman laugh that made Thomas shiver. He’s gonna die, Ben is going to kill him and he is going to die.
Thomas gathers all the strength that he has to shove Ben off him and makes a run for it deeper into the maze. He is limping, pain shooting up his leg and in his skull. He hears Ben yell for him to come back but he doesn’t listen.
He’d rather take his chances with the Grievers than with Ben.
Alby makes everyone else walk away and get ready for bed. Frypan makes Chuck go get ready with him, leaving Gally at the walls by himself. He lets tears fall as all he can see is the ways that Thomas is gonna be ripped apart, eaten, and hunted by the grievers.
Chuck and Frypan walk back with water and food. Gally looks up at them, Fry has a fire stick. Chuck sits down next to Gally, putting a blanket over them, and Fry sets the food and water next to them before sitting down on the other side.
Gally looks over at Chuck who leans his head on the taller shoulder, “What are you guys doing?”
Chuck rubs his face against Gally’s shoulder as he speaks, “We are sleeping with you out here, I also drool in my sleep, so sorry not sorry”
Gally looks over at Frypan, trying to argue but Fry just leans against the wall and looks over at his best friend, “I'm not gonna let you deal with this alone.”
Gally stares for a bit, then nods, leaning his head against the wall, before closing his eyes, allowing himself some comfort at the moment, even though he is blaming himself for everything that has happened in the last hour.
Minho is watching them well Newt is sitting next to him, his hand in the Keeper of The Runners. Minho puts his head on Newt’s shoulder, “That could have been me.”
Newt turns to look at his lover, “What?”
Minho sighs looking back over to Gally, “That could have-. No, it should have been me.”
“Don’t you say that,” Newt grabs Minho’s face, making the Asian boy look him in the eyes, “Don’t you ever say that again. Thomas made a bloody choice like you all do every day you go in there. There is a chance that you all won’t come back,” Newt looks over to Gally, Chuck, and Frypan who are keeping Gally grounded, “Thomas knew that. And he went in.”
Minho puts his face into Newt’s chest holding the blonde close, and can't even imagine what Gally is going through right now. He prays to whatever God who is listening right now that he never will.
Gally didn’t sleep at all that night, he couldn’t, he wouldn't allow himself to sleep. The images of what could be happening to Thomas right now are hunting him right now. As soon as the sun came up, as soon as the door opened, everyone was at them. Gally, Newt, Minho, Frypan, and Chuck were in the front of the group.
Alby sent the runners in to go find anything to show that Thomas was alive. They came back an hour or two later with Thomas’ ripped blue long sleeve with blood on it. Gally starts to panic about the fact that Thomas is gone.
“I’m going to find him,” Gally says to Alby who looks at him, and Alby raises an eyebrow at him, “I am, I used to be a runner until we started building things. I’m not asking for permission either. I'm just telling you just in case I don’t come back either.”
Alby sighs but nods anyway, he knows that there is nothing that is gonna stop Gally from finding Thomas. Gally turned around to see Thomas falling on the ground, shirtless, blood all over him, black blood from the Grievers, and red blood from himself or Ben, Gally couldn’t tell.
Gally runs over to Thomas and goes to grab the other teenage boy before Thomas freaks out, “No, stop, please, don’t hurt me-”
“Thomas baby it’s me,” Gally cuts off the rambling before Thomas gets lost in his mind. Thomas’ brown eyes look into Gally’s green ones and Thomas' eyes fill with emotions as he falls into his lover's arms.
He starts sobbing like it was ripped out of his chest. “Gally baby”
Gally kisses the mop of brown hair as the rest of them watch the two, “I thought I lost you greenie,” Gally whispers as he holds Thomas close, like if he lets go of the other he might disappear if Gally lets go.
After giving the two time to each other Chuck runs over to the two, and joins the hug. Thomas grabs Chuck pulls him into his chest and holds the chubby boy in between the two older Gladers. Thomas calms Chuck down with whispers and touches as Gally moves one hand from Thomas to Chuck.
Newt’s the second one who runs over and comes up right beside Thomas and joins. Gally moves his arm so he can still hold onto Thomas’ hand. Newt starts cleaning his face with his shirt as Minho walks over to the pile.
He looked hesitant before Gally grabbed the boy and pulled him into the pile on the ground near the maze doors. Minho leans his head onto Thomas's shoulder and lets himself cry as Thomas pats his head as brothers would do.
Newt finally said something about getting Thomas medical treatment and they moved. Thomas tried to walk there but Gally picked him up and carried him. Thomas glared at him, “I can walk you know Gal”
“You don’t know what all is messed up with you yet so no,” Gally looks straight ahead as they walk to the Med Jacks, “No you're not walking Thomas.”
Thomas didn’t say anything or try to leave Gally’s arms after he realized that Gally wasn't gonna drop this. When they got into the med bay Thomas was taken from Gally’s arms and looked at. Gally was told to leave and get some food for Thomas or something. They just needed Gally out of the shed when they stitched Thomas up.
Gally was called back two hours later and Thomas was sleeping, he had a shirt on, was wrapped up, and had sweat from all the pain his body was in. Gally pulls a chair up to the bed and looks at Thomas.
Gally has always thought that the other was beautiful. The choppy brown hair, wide expressive brown eyes, and lean but muscular body. He smiled with his cracked tooth in the front from falling when he first got to the Glade. His smile and personality, hell even his soul make him attractive. His selflessness is almost suicidal in a way, to his laugh and the way his eyebrows push together when he is confused.
Gally doesn’t remember anything before the Glade or this Maze that they are all trapped in, but he feels familiar things. How he feels about Chuck is familiar, and how he looks to Alby for direction is familiar. How Newt was comforting when Thomas wasn’t in the Galde yet is something familiar. How Minho is like a brother that he fought with, and how everyone else is just people he lived with.
But when Thomas showed up that familiar feeling was different. He wanted to kiss the boy, love on him, and keep him close. He wanted to have the other all to himself. When they touched for the first time Gally felt that familiar feeling fill him and he knew that Thomas was so much more to him than he could remember. When they kissed for the first time they both felt like they had been doing this for years. The first time they slept together they fell into that familiar rhythm that they both knew.
After that, they both claimed each other as their own. Gally never thought that he could be capable of loving someone like how he watched Minho and Newt where together, but when he met Thomas he knew then and there that they had something. Something special, something that no one, not even the people who put them here can touch.
Gally fell asleep in the chair next to Thomas and woke up with a jolt. He blinks a couple of of times to have his eyes adjust to what he is seeing and Chuck is sitting on the bed with Thomas who is sitting up smiling at the kid. Gally looks over at Chuck who looks sheepishly at Gally, “Hey Gal”
“What are you doing’ out of bed Chucky?” Gally asks getting straight to the point. He watches as Chuck looks at Thomas as if to say isn’t it obvious? Gally sighs well, shaking his head, “Chuck you need to be in your bed.”
“But you're here” Chuck whines and Gally sees the little kid that Chuck is supposed to be at this age. Gally looks over to Thomas who is hiding a laugh behind his hand.
“Yes I am here, but that doesn't mean that you can be,” Gally says to the kid who is almost full of pouts.
“But-” Chuck began before Gally shook his head.
“No buts, just go to bed and you can skip our chores tomorrow,” Gally says offering something that he never does to anyone else, “You can just hang out here with Thomas”
Chuck lights up at that and says goodnight to them both before running off. Thomas chuckles a bit before coughing. Gally grabs the cup of water before handing it to Thomas. Thomas drinks half of it before putting it down. Gally looks at him, “You okay?”
Thomas nods, holding his chest with his eyes closed, he doesn’t respond verbally until he opens his brown eyes, “Yeah, just hurt to laugh a bit.”
Gally nods, grabbing the other’s hand and holding it. He stares at Thomas's hand rubbing his thumb on the back of it. Thomas and he sat in silence as he thought about almost losing his lover. That Thomas almost died last night, that he could have. His shoulders are shaking and he is crying before he knows it.
Thomas puts his hand on the back of Gally’s head holding him as much as he cries. “Gally I’m right here, I’m right here baby-”
“But you could not have been!” Gally yells looking up at Thomas who jumps back at the raised voice, Thomas looks at him with emotions filling his eyes again, like he can’t pick one to feel, “You could have died! I could have lost you. Damn it Thomas, you can’t fucking leave me! Not now. Not after you made me love you.”
Thomas's eyes fill with tears as the bigger man stops talking and looks at Thomas, “I love you too much to lose you”
Thomas pulls Gally to him, letting the bigger man get into bed with him, lying next to Thomas. It's a tight fit but it works. They normally sleep on top of each other, to begin with. Thomas pets Gally’s short light brown hair. Thomas kisses Gally’s head, “Gally I love you. I love you so much but it is all a chance for us to die here. That is always a possibility. We all can get hurt, killed, eaten, every bad thing in the book can happen to us here.”
Gally looks up at Thomas, “But I can’t lose you, Thomas”
Thomas grabs Gally’s face and kisses him softly, pouring his own emotions into it and Gally returns it. His hand slips into the longer brown hair. He loves to play with it, touch it, and pull on it.
Gally pulls away and lays his head on Thomas’ chest. Thomas holds Gally close loving the feeling of his lover weight on him, “He didn’t do anything to me”
“What?” Gally asks, his hold on Thomas gets tighter.
“He didn’t touch me, Gal,” Thomas leaned his head against Gally’s, “Yes he tried to do it, but I kicked him off and ran off. I ran into Grievers and outran them. And Ben caught me and tried to push himself onto me and I-... I picked up a rock and kept hitting him until he passed out and I left him for the Grievers. I killed him, Gal.”
Gally has never heard Thomas sound so defeated. Gally looks up at his lover. “You did what you had to do. Okay, just focus on that.”
Thomas was able to walk around, have his stitches out, and take his wraps off. Gally has been gentle and treating Thomas like he is fragile and he can break. Thomas is getting restless, he wants to have that connection again.
Gally has never treated him like this and it pisses him off. He wants what they had again. So that's why Thomas decides to do what he has been doing. He is flirting with anyone who talks to him, besides Minho, Newt, and Chuck, and he is watching Gally slowly losing control.
He is showing the Greenie around and touching his arm which finally, which finally, Gally snaps. He walks over to Thomas, grabs him, and pulls him to their shed. Gally built it so they could have a place where they could go and be with each other. He built one for all the couples as well.
Thomas gets pushed into their home, and Thomas lands on their bed. He smiles up at his lover who is glaring, “What's up Gally?”
“Bend over my knee,” Gally says sitting in a chair next to a desk where Gally draws. Thomas stares at him with his eyes wide, like he can’t believe what Gally is asking him.
“What-What?” Thomas asks Gally to chuckle deeply and it makes Thomas shiver with excitement.
“Don’t make me ask again, take off your clothes, come over to me, and bend yourself over my knee. I'm not kidding.” Gally makes eye contact with Thomas the whole time he says this.
Thomas wants to be a brat and make Gally make him, but he starts to take off his clothes. He strips Gally, slowly taking off his clothes and moving his body sexually. He smiles softly as Gally watches his body like it is something that he wants to touch but Gally won’t let himself. Thomas is gonna make him break out of that.
Gally hangs on for as long as he can before he grabs Thomas and puts him on his lap, Thomas goes willingly. Gally groups Thomas's ass, making another moan at the feeling, “flirting with anything that moved today weren't you baby?”
Thomas pushes his ass back into Gally’s hands. Gally’s big rough calloused hands. Gally slaps Thomas's ass, making the other moan with pain. He didn’t know that he would like the feeling of pain but he did. He wants more. He wants Gally to hit him more.
He whimpers as Gally hits him over and over again, making his head fuzzy and he grabs onto Gally keeping him grounded.
Each flash of pain goes straight to his cock. He bites his lips to try and hide his moans. Gally must have known, he always knew these types of things, “You spit that lip out right now puppy. I don’t want blood everywhere.”
Thomas whines softly but listens to Gally. He has always hated hearing the noise he makes and Gally loves them, but he still gets embarrassed no matter how many times they do this.
His eyes fill up with tears and he starts trying to get out of Gally’s hold. Gally grabs him hard and leans to his ear to say, “Cry all you need to, I am not expecting you to stay quiet with this.”
Gally rubs a spot on Thomas’ bottom preparing him for a hit, “And you can make this stop with one word. Just say it whenever you are done, baby.”
Gally raises his hand to hit him again. Thomas stiffens as Gally keeps spanking him but he soon relaxes. He starts welcoming the spanks with a soft smile on his face and tears falling. He is happy to get out of his head.
He came rubbing himself on Gally’s leg, which Gally told him to, but Gally stopped. He cleaned Thomas and him up. His hands are soft when he takes care of Thomas.
They end up lying down and Gally is holding Thomas in his arms. Thomas kisses Gally's cheek before mumbling, “You know I love you right?”
“Yeah I do Greenie,” Gally says as he holds Thomas like he is the most valuable thing in the world. He kisses Thomas before resting his head on Thomas’, “I love you too baby.”
