Hi! This is my first Maze Runner story/drabble so I hope you like it. Based on Taylor Swift's "Safe and Sound" starring Minho :)
You knew that the nightmares were there. Minho may act all strong in front of everyone but deep down he is broken. His sarcastic and witty comments were all a mask. His smiles never reached his eyes.
The loss of many friends has damaged him.
He hides it well though.
When you first met him you thought he was just another guy. You admired him for his strength as the leader. He was the leader and the friend when someone needed him. And like anyone else, you found him there when you needed someone.
You talked to him often about your fears and even your hopes and dreams. He always listened well but he never talked much about his own fears or dreams.
As you got to know him more you understood why.
All his dreams were haunted by the scenes of brutal murder of his friends. All his fears were haunted by his imaginations of losing more friends.
He tells you more as days go by.
His experience in the maze, the loss of his best friend, Newt. How he hopes that Newt is still alive and well. How he wishes he could have brought back all his friends from the Glade to paradise with him.
Two years have passed.
Time passed quickly as everyone got busy. You spent more time next to Minho, always there to support him. You watched the small village everyone had built together grow.
All was well
Scars are fading
Past faces become vaguer
But the pain is still there
One hug from him is enough to tell you that he is tired. Not from work but tired of being the strong reliable leader. And as you wrap him in your embrace he breaks. He closes his eyes and relaxes. He knows he is safe. He knows of the nightmares which will come to visit him again but he knows that they are only dreams.
He knows that you will be there, humming a soft lullaby.
He knows that he will be alright.
Safe and sound
Hope you enjoyed it! Please leave a review, I would love to know what you guys think.
Thank You
