You know they talked about it too like Newt said something to Minho before the maze he was like “I don’t know..” and then after he was all in

….Can you tell I’m an Ivy trio shipper.

thomas is now 32 and minho is 34. they spend their time at the safe haven mostly lounging around, making up for the years that they couldn’t.

: MINHO

when pent up, minho runs around the perimeter of the island for hours at a time. he even has his “run days” sometimes, where he’ll be gone all day and just runs. he imagines the soft sand he’s running on is still the hard concrete of the maze. he still remembers the various repeating layouts pretty well, but he’s lost them as time has gone on.

he helps gally build the homes and buildings they need occasionally as well. hes a real physical health nut and takes any chance he gets to exert himself. he’s not one for eating healthily though, so whenever they find a bag of chips in a random crate he’s the first one on them. he’s gained a little bit of a weight and more belly, but he, nor thomas, minds.

minho is constantly stealing clothes from everyone he knows. he’s even accidentally stolen a shirt from someone he didn’t know and had a really awkward confrontation. he mostly steals gally’s clothes since he wears short sleeves, slightly cropped tops (for hot weather of course), and sleeveless tops. he steals thomas’ clothes aswell but really only to sleep in since he gets weirdly cold at night, and thomas wears long sleeves.

: THOMAS

thomas runs with minho sometimes. never on the run days (he has no idea how he can still go for so long after all these years), but when he’s just itching to get his legs moving again he’ll join him or even ask to go for a run. he prefers to work his arms though most days.

he actually doesn’t pay as much attention to his physical health as minho, and cares far more about his mental health. he asked around multiple times if people would want him to start a mental wellness group and people didn’t seem to care until he started a more one-on-one therapy kind of thing and he had appointments twice a week. he strays from the therapy speak those at WICKED used on him and keeps it real with the others, even if it may hurt. he truly just wants the best for others and knows his advice is helpful and wants to put it to use.

he confides in brenda when he can’t confide in minho. he advocates talking about how you’re feeling constantly but is bad at it himself, and no matter how many times minho tells him he can talk to him, he feels like he can’t. he thinks minho won't understand for how much of a "jock" he is. when he eventually does open up, minho responds perfectly and thomas mentally scolds himself for not doing this sooner.

: THOMINHO

thomas really likes minho’s lightning scars. thomas catches himself feeling them when they lay together and just feeling the bumps. its not even fully an attraction thing, he just really likes the way they feel. it soothes minho too so its a perfect combination.

minho is very big on physical touch. not sexual, he just really enjoys feeling thomas’s hair and gripping his shoulders and holding his waist. thomas nor minho are very good at showing their love, but minho is much more physical with it than verbal.

minho follows thomas everywhere. thomas has to tell minho multiple times that he can’t sit in his room during an appointment. minho says he “wont even listen” and he’ll “file stuff, i dont know” but thomas let him stay once and he immediately tried gossiping to thomas afterwards. he had to shut it down immediately.

they didn’t get together until their late 20’s. thomas hadn’t realized he was in love with him and minho was not going to lose his best friend, one of the only surviving gladers and the one who made it through the night in that maze with him all those years back. he would’ve lived his whole life without ever telling thomas how he felt if thomas didnt confess on a run one day, to which they made out under the sunset.

minho doesn't do the "lovey dovey" stuff since he says it makes him cringe, but every time thomas talks sweet to him he's a mess. it shockd and flusters minho every time thomas says such romantic or vulgar things so casually, and thomas knows.

shorter/simpler hc’s time..

minho calls thomas “thumb”. thomas hates it and minho never tells him why he calls him that. there is no reason.

thomas is OBSESSED with minho with his hair down.

minho is OBSESSED with thomas’s facial hair

thomas just stops talking at times and minho is the only one who still understands him

thomas's body isnt fairing as well as minho's has with age, but he's still fairly active

thomas's voice got SIGNIFICANTLY deeper, while minho's didnt really change. he loves it.

thomas has internalized homophobia due to WICKED setting up teresa and him from the start, while minho has never cared that he's "supposed" to like women.

minho got a buzz for practicality once and they both hated it

This scene is so buzzy for no reason when you look at Ben, Newt, and Minho staring at Thomas and Gally....

why are yall so THIRSTY 😭😭😭😭 Bro they're wrestling and sweaty and dirty and stinky while yall are just staring and drooling 💔💔💔💔💔

Even though Thomas is not the prettiest٫ nor the most physically fit Glader٫ it was his bravery and courage when entering the Maze and insisting on saving Alby that made Minho follow him to the ends of the earth.

Minho didn't just see freedom in Thomas٫ he also saw a much better person than he was٫ and someone he wanted to be like٫ making that seemingly crazed Greenie deserving of his unquestionable loyalty.

For Minho٫ Thomas was hope in freedom٫ but also hope in a better future where he could overcome his fears and get rid of everything that held him down٫ including himself.

Because to me that's The maze runner.

Go shipp newt thomas and minho however you please.
