Request (@tomesandrosebud ): The reader was Gally’s girlfriend when they were in the Glade, up until his ‘death’. And leaving him behind left her heartbroken but with everything going on after being 'saved’ by W.C.K.D. the Gladers had to just keep moving. So with all of the events of the Scorch the reader and Newt became really close, him helping to heal her broken heart and falling in love, sharing one kiss during the battle against W.C.K.D. when Minho was taken and then started officially dating soon afterwards. Also the reader somehow found out from Teresa and Thomas having regained their memories, Chuck was actually the reader’s little brother the whole time. So now it’s almost been a year since the day in which the Glader’s escaped the Maze and it turns out that Gally actually is still alive, and he’s been searching for and still been in love with the reader. And so the imagine basically kind of just all about how after the shock of Gally still being alive and him coming to re-join the group, how he basically never like up front gets told that now the reader and Newt are together. That it’s more of Gally feeling like she’s just avoiding him when he’s just trying to regain what they used to have. And he just has this feeling there’s something that the group isn’t telling him. And at one point he kind of just gets upset and thinks she hates him because of him killing Chuck, which she is upset about but unlike Thomas she was able to get passed that. But then eventually he just sees the reader and Newt together and is able to put it all together and basically just his reaction to everything.

Gally led the group down a small set of stairs to meet Lawrence.
He and Thomas quickly worked out an agreement to get into the city. Unfortunately for your group, only three people could go first. Everyone else had to stay.
You volunteered to go, along with Newt. At first, Gally was opposed to you coming. As much as he wanted to be around you again, he argued that anything could happen once you got to the other side of the walls and there was no guarantee that you’d make it back without being detected.
“If you guys are going in then so am I.” You insisted, crossing your arms.
“Y/n it’s dangerous in there.”
Newt looked offended at Gally’s words. He quickly walked to your side to defended you. “She can handle herself.”
Gally glared at Newt before reluctantly agreeing for you to come along.
Thomas, Newt, and you were all shocked when you entered the city. You’d never seen so much life in one place. Hundreds of people roamed the streets, busses and cars drove around you, and every building was brightly lit up with beams of light and a various size assortment of screens.
Gally grinned at your reaction, moving to stand directly to your left. Newt, who was standing closer than Gally appreciated to your right, glanced around the city in awe. “This is a long way from the Glade.”
Moments after he spoke, speakers around you announced that the mandatory curfew would be in effect in 15 minutes.
“We’d better get off these streets.” Gally announced to the small group. He turned to you with a smirk on his face, “and I know it’s hard but act like you’ve seen it before.” A quiet chuckle fell through your lips, Gally grinned triumphantly while grabbing your arm and pulling you along.
The four of you ran through the city hiding from all patrol cars. Gally led you to a tall wall at the end of an alleyway.
“Y/n, you’re up first.” He told you, preparing to push you up. Newt’s nerves got the best of him as he glanced around the sketchy alley. He reached forward to gently grab your arm while looking at Gally.
“Wait a bloody second, what’s behind the wall?” Newt asked, grabbing your arm. Gally rolled his eyes, “How about you go first and find out Newt?”
Newt huffed before releasing you and allowing Gally to lazily boost him to the top of the wall. When he pulled himself over, he leaned down to pull you up. Gally lifted you quickly, trying to push you far enough that you wouldn’t need Newt’s help, but you grabbed onto Newt and climbed over.
Gally went to help Thomas but Thomas refused his help, jumping up the wall on his own.

Getting to Gally’s lookout point was nauseating. You’d never been afraid of heights, but the thought that one wrong footstep would send you flying off the edge made you want to throw up. It was safe to say you were glad when you’d reached an area with railing.
You shivered as the wind blew relentlessly at you, rubbing your hands together and regretting not bringing your scarf. You were grateful Brenda had cut your hair. She had graciously offered to cut it for you and honestly did a pretty good job at it. If you still had your long hair, it would no doubt be flying all around your face.
Newt noticed how cold you were and instantly removed his scarf in order to wrapped it around you. You tried to give it back, insisting that you didn’t need it but Newt refused to believe you.
Gally and Thomas’s quiet conversation about WCKD’s headquarters quickly turned sour when Gally said he might have a way in.
“You might? The hell do you mean might?” Thomas growled, turning to face Gally.
Gally sighed, stepping back from the telescope he set up. “Take a look.”
Thomas was shocked at what he saw. For the first time that day, he was utterly speechless.
“I said I had a way in, I didn’t say you were gonna like it.”
You shared a worried glance with Newt before he stepped forward to look into the telescope. He let out a deep sigh upon whatever he was looking at, and you grew increasingly more anxious. When Newt stepped away from the telescope, everyone watched as you looked into it.
Your blood instantly boiled at the sight of her. The backstabbing, two-faced, no good bitch! “You’ve got to be kidding me.” You groaned, “She’s our way in?! There’s got to be another way.”
Newt began to come to your side but Gally shoved past him. “Hey,” his voice was quiet, “It’s alright. You’re friends with her, this’ll be a piece of cake.”
“She’s not my friend.” You seethed, gripping onto the metal railing so hard your knuckles turned white. Gally unhooked your fingers from the icy gate, telling you he’d figure something out. Newt and Thomas both grimaced at Gally, sharing angry looks with each other.
—
Back at the Right Arm base, your group was debriefing what, or who, you saw.
Thomas insisted there had to be another way, which seemed to light a fire inside Newt.
As Newt began to go off of Thomas, you slowly inched your way closer to them. Just Incase. When Newt began shouting, you jumped in to intervene.
“DON’T LIE TO ME!” Newt shouted to Thomas, shoving him against the wall.
You called his name, rushing forward to push him away from Thomas. You placed one hand on his chest, trying to get him to calm down. “Newt.. look at me.” You whispered. His angry eyes flickered down to yours. After a moment of looking at you, you could see his expression turn shocked. He looked back up to Thomas, mumbling a very quiet “I’m sorry”, before apologizing to everyone in the room and walking out. The room was silent for a moment. You made a move to follow but Gally grabbed your arm, “I have to speak with you.”
You looked to Thomas, silently asking if he’d check on Newt. He seemed to understand, and he nodded. “I’ll go talk to him.”
You couldn’t focus on whatever Gally was saying to you. Newt was the only thing on your mind. What happened only a moment ago? Newt was never one to snap at people, let alone shout at and shove around. Maybe it was because of the stress? Maybe something happened? Maybe-
“Y/n?” Gally’s voice interrupted your thoughts. He waved his hand in front of you, a playful smile on his face. “Are you listening?”
You blinked, unable to stop the worrying in your mind. Was Newt okay?
“What’s going on?” Gally asked, he brought his hand up to try and cup your cheek but you shook him off. “I have to go.” You didn’t leave him any time to respond before turning and running towards Newt and Thomas. Gally’s face twisted in annoyance, and he rolled his eyes before turning back to face the table.
Once you got to the roof of the building, you could see Newt sitting along the edge while Thomas crouched next to him.
“Newt!” You called, jogging up to them. “Are you okay?”
He turned his head to you with tears in his eyes, the sleeve of his jacket was pulled up to just below his elbow. When you saw the thick black veins spread throughout his forearm, you almost fell down.
“No,” you choked out, hand flying up to your mouth to hold back a sob. “You can’t be-“ tears built up in your eyes.
Newt only nodded.
You lowered yourself to your knees, pulling him in for an embrace. You cried into his shoulder.
“We can still fix this. We can.” Thomas announced.
“Don’t worry about me. This is about Minho. He needs us. So is there is even the slightest chance that we can save him, that we can get him out of there, then we have to take that. No matter what the cost.”
You pushed away from Newt gently, shaking your head.
“We’re going to save both of you, you hear me? Brenda was infected too, and she’s still alive now. You are not going to become a crank.”
“Listen to me, love,” he cupped your cheeks, “As of right now, I’m fine and our main priority is Minho. We’ll figure everything out once he’s back with us, okay?”
You nodded, allowing him to wipe the tears off of your face. Newt sent you a sad smile before pulling his jacket sleeve back down.

Opting to stay behind with Newt while Gally and Thomas retrieved Theresa, you had a few moments to sit alone. Jorge was with Newt and Frypan somewhere in the building. Brenda left them in search of you.
“How are you holding up?” She asked, sitting down next to you on the floor. You found a hallway that was still in pretty decent shape to hang out in.
“What do you mean?” Your eyes never ventured from your cuticles, which you were anxiously picking at.
“With this Gally and Newt situation.” Brenda reached out to pull your hands apart.
You shrugged, “I don’t even know.”
“I’ve seen Gally trying to, you know, make a move on you.“
“Do you think he knows about Newt and I?”
“I don’t think so. Are you going to tell him?”
“I don’t know.”
“Are you still in love with him?”
“No, I don’t think I am. Not anymore at least. I don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know what I feel,” You sighed, resting your head in your hands, “I loved Gally. I truly did but I don’t think I still do. That makes me such a shitty person, doesn’t it?”
“No, y/n. That guy basically died. You had months to grieve and you had to move on. That doesn’t mean you don’t love Gally but you just don’t love him like before, you know?“
“I do love Gally, but it’s only a ‘he used to me my boyfriend but he died and I’ll always remember him’ love and I don’t even know how that works now that he’s alive.”
“It works basically the same. It’s only a love for what you had, not for him anymore.”
“I guess..”
Brenda reached for your hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
“So why don’t you want to tell him?”
“I don’t know how, and I don’t know how he’ll react. Back in the Glade, he was always known for being a hot head. I don’t want anything to happen that would jeopardize our plan to save Minho.”
“Do you love Newt?”
“I really really do.” You nodded.
“Well then that settles it. You’re with Newt now, the two of you are happy. That’s all that matters. If Gally really loves you, he won’t do anything to stop that, or mess with our plan.”
“You’re right, Brenda.” You nodded, finally turning to look at her. “You know what-“
Frypans voice cut you off as he poked his head into the hallway. “They’re back.”
Everyone's like "oh no poor Thomas" "oh Thomas and that necklace" "oh Thomas must be so sad in the safe haven"
BUT WHAT ABOUT MINHO
Newt left Minho, too
Minho thought he could save Newt, too
And let's think about this for a moment.
Minho never actually got to say goodbye
Newt didn't give Minho anything
Minho literally gets saved by Newt only to discover that he's infected and will probably die. He then runs around trying to get the cure for him only to arrive to see his best friend laying on the ground with a knife through his chest after being left in the arms of Thomas
And Newt and Minho go way back
If we're following the movie then we have in the comic that Newt and Thomas were best buds. But that was before the maze.
In the maze we have Minho running around and then finding Newt laying on the ground half dead and dragging his body back to the glade.
We have Minho having to recover himself from that and trying to make sure Newt never gets to that depressed point ever again.
We have Minho trying to protect Newt at all costs
We have Minho getting so happy when he sees Newt smile again
Yeah, sure, Thomas comes and him and Newt have a connection, but Newt literally risks his life for Minho
Refusing to stay and wait with Gally for the serum, and instead running around with Thomas to find Minho because "Minho comes first"
Minho is the one to write Newt's name on the rock.
And Thomas probably never even showed Minho that note. Minho was the one who found it and gave it back to him and Thomas knows that it is their last piece of Newt. Thomas knows how far Minho and Newt go back and he knows how much Minho is dying inside. ( And in the book he promises to never tell Minho what happened to Newt and in the movie he never shows him the letter that newt wrote to him)
Basically, Minho is suffering. And it's overlooked
