WICKED took them into their arms and gave them a small room to share. Gally's head was still reeling from what last happened in the Maze as well as the fact that Ben was alive. The past day and a half had been pretty crazy with this overwhelming discovery, but Gally was kind of glad for it. Having Ben gave him a distraction from everything that had happened previously and the embarrassment he had suffered from it.
But Gally didn't bring that up when they were talking. Talking was pretty much all they've done since they calmed down about each other's appearance. They talked about Ben in the pit before he was banished, how he'd gotten here and Gally's story of being forced through the Maze to get to WICKED. He had told Ben about what WICKED's big plans for him, that he was going to let them do it because he knew the source of all their problems would be over. Thomas would be gone and things could go back to normal.
That's the only thing he wanted. A little bit of normalcy in his life. Maybe that's why he did it -- or maybe it was because it just because he wasn't in his right mind from the entire situation at hand.
Gally grabs hold of Ben's face, pulling him in enough to kiss him. It's not hard and rushed, but almost soft and careful, like he doesn't really know what he's doing and might pull back at any moment. But it starts to get more confident, becoming firmer in the process. His heart his pounding so hard against his ribcage that he's afraid that it might just leap out of his chest and into the hands of the other boy, but he tries his hardest not to panic about Ben pushing him away -- rejecting him the same way everyone else had.
If Ben didn't want him either, he didn't think he could handle that. Not after everything he's already been through.
