Okay, this is like a Thomesa prequel and my second Maze Runner/Thomesa story because I love this fandom and the ship. So this story is gonna start an hour after Chuck brings Thomas food at the pit, Teresa is gonna pay him a little visit. A little romantic evening under the stars for our favorite Maze Runner couple. So as usual, HOOOOOOOOOOOLD ON TO YA BUTTS!
***The Glade, The Pit***
The night was peaceful, the food in Thomas' stomach was full and now he was starting to get sleepy. As he stared up at the stars through a hole in the roof, he heard a twig snap. Sitting up, he walked to the door and looked around.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"It's me." A pair of legs appeared in front of him to reveal that it was Teresa.
"Oh hey, how you doin'?"
"I'm okay, but what about you, are you ok in there?"
Thomas nodded his head as he sat down against the door. "Yeah, I'm actually getting used to it."
Teresa nodded and looked over to the closed doors of the Maze. She had an uneasy feeling in her stomach, and it was because of Thomas. Why was he the first thing she said when she woke up, why was he so special, why did she care about him so much?
"What's wrong?" He asked bringing her off her train of thought.
She turned her head towards him slowly and let out a sigh before she spoke. "Why do you wanna go back out there?"
"To try to find a way outta here, for all of us."
"But what if you get hurt, or worse?"
"I won't."
"But what if you do?" She cried.
Thomas could see the tears forming in her eyes. She obviously cared about him, too much to lose him. And if he was honest with himself, he cared about her too. Maybe it was because of whoever they were before the Maze, but that didn't matter. He had to comfort her and he knew just how to do it. He put his hand through the pit door and motioned for her to give him here. Almost immediately, she grabbed his hand and tightened her grip on it.
"I promise you," Thomas started, "I will make it back. I promise that you will see me again. And I promise that we're gonna find a way outta here. Okay?"
Teresa, convinced by his words, nodded and lowered herself to give him a hug through the door. It was hard, but they managed. When she pulled away, she kissed her fingers, placed it on Thomas's cheek, and slightly rubbed it in.
Pulling her hand out, she stood up with a smile. "Well you get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow," she said jokingly.
"Yeah, yeah I do," Thomas replied with a laugh, "Good night, Teresa."
"Good night, Thomas."
After she walked back to the village and got into an empty hammock, Thomas' hammock. He never showed her his hammock, but somehow she knew it was him. It, smelled like him. Like he was right there holding her, comforting her. And as she closed her eyes, she felt something she hadn't felt since she woke up in that box, peace.
Thomas was smiling too. He was glad Teresa had come to visit him. It made his stay more...enjoyable.
'I'm startin' to like the Pit,' he thought to himself as he slipped into a peaceful slumber.
***The Woods***
Thomas and Minho had just left the Map Room and were headed towards the entrance to the Maze.
As Minho was giving Thomas some last minute when another voice called out to them. "Good look for you!"
Looking ahead, they saw it was Teresa. Knowing it was directed at him Thomas walked over to her while Minho stayed behind. "Thanks," he said, noticing her smile as he stood in front of her. "How's Alby doing?"
Teresa replied with a shrug, wishing she could give a good report. "Still no change."
"Well listen, just keep an eye on him. Ok? And maybe don't let Gally anywhere near him."
Another smile came to Teresa as she heard that. She liked hearing concern in Thomas' voice, and she knew some of it was directed at her too.
"You two need a minute?" Ah Minho!
The Keeper of the Runner walked past them and hurried Thomas. "Let's go! We're burning daylight."
Knowing he had to go, Thomas sighed and looked back up to the blue eyed beauty in front of him. With their eyes, the two said a silent goodbye.
"Thomas?" Teresa stopped him before he could walk away, a hand on his arm and a worried grip that was reluctant to let go. He looked back to her and could see the worry in her eyes. "Please be careful...and come back."
The new Runner nodded to her and gave her a convincing nod before kissing his fingers and pressing it to her cheek before her ran off to join Minho. As he did, Teresa blushed from the momentary feel of his hand on her cheek and the kiss that came from it. And as she watched Thomas and Minho disappear into the Maze, she knew that Thomas would return. He would return to her.
Well that's the wind up and the pitch. And yes, I did add more Thomesa to a deleted scene from the movie. Hope you guys enjoyed this, if you did, lemme know in the comments. And trust me, more Thomesa is coming in the next chapter. And it's gonna be... WCKD. ;)
