Gally POV

Y/N. The only girl amongst us, and the only girl medjack. Every single boy here would hurt themselves just to be seen by her. She's so 'kind' and 'careful' with everyone, but I don't buy it. Newt and Thomas swear that she's one of the best. I don't. I don't need some girl helping me out when i'm hurt, I can handle it myself. "Done staring?" Newt taps my arm. I look at him annoyed. "I wasn't staring." I move a few piles of wood to our discard pile we put in the fire. "So you're just looking at her for a prolonged period of time then?" He teases, his smile a half smirk with these knowing eyes. "It's just bullshit. She can't be that good. All the boys in here would round themselves up for her. It's pathetic." I sit down and crack a few dead twigs off the logs. "Well, she is really good. She's smart, careful, and honestly she is amazing at what she does. She healed minhos broken leg remember? He was bummed for so long, but with her help he got better. I think you're just salty that she doesn't give you attention." He leans down and I look at him and shoot up. "What's that supposed to mean?" I step close to him, he puts his arms up in defense. "Hey, not trying to be mean man. I think, you should at least try to talk to her. Maybe you wouldn't be so miserable about her." He leaves and goes to the kitchens. I look back to her, she's sitting there, wrapping up Thomas arm after he got cut running the maze. They seem to be talking about something nice considering they're both smiling and laughing together. A burning sensation in my chest makes me focus and look away from them. What bullshit. a few hours later, we're all building a fire to hang around and drink and eat. We do this almost every night now. Being with everyone, living here, and surviving together is what makes the fact that we're trapped here go away. "Gally!" I hear one of my fellow builders yell my name. "We need some help, some of the wood is wet from the rain yesterday, can you help us chop it up?" He hands me a machete. "Yeah sure." We all chop up the wood when one of them starts talking. "So. I saw Y/N earlier today." I glare at his cheesing smile. He looks at everyone else who seem to be now paying close attention. "How was it?" One of them tap his arm. "Amazing, she smells like flowers and something sweet. She gave me some medicine and helped me with some allergies I got." God the more they talk the more I want to rip out my ears. "She once gave me a bandage and her skin was so smooth." She can't be this damn good. "Yeah she is. She once had to clean a cut on my head and her eyes were so bright and she really did smell good." "Ow! Fuck!" I feel a sharp pain and then warm blood oozing down my hand. I guess I got so annoyed by them I zoned out. "Shit Gally you good?" One of them drops the wood and checks out my hand. "Shit, we gotta get you to the medjacks." "No. No I can handle it." "Gally that will get infected, you could lose your hand. Just go dude." They all nod their heads. Shuck am I doing this? "Fine." I turn and hold my bleeding hand and walk slowly toward the medjacks. I see her bent over organizing something in a drawer.

"Uh, hey." She turns her head and her eyes widen at the blood. "Oh my. Come here, sit." She guides me to a small seat and she leans down and pours some water on my hand, making it sting. "Ow. shuck woman." I say through gritted teeth. "Sorry, I just have to clean it before I help it." She leans over and grabs some medicines and a large bandage. She grabs another small chair and sits infront of me. Her hands grab my arm gently and she pours medicine on a small cotton and rubs it gently on the cut. As I breath a little raggedy, I smell it, the smell of flowers, something a bit sweet, and her skin, it was so smooth. I can't help but stare at her hands and her hair. Shit, they were right. "How'd this happen?" She asks looking into my eyes. "Uh. I was uh- ya know- helping cut some wood for the fire. I wasn't paying attention and got my hand." I can't keep eye contact with her. It's annoying. "I see, well you do have some grass bits in your hand but it's nothing to worry about. It should be good in a few days. Just make to keep this bandage on tonight and come back tomorrow night and I'll change it out." She wraps my hand carefully. "Is that ok? Not too tight?" She adjusts the corners gently and looks at me a few times.

"Yeah, yeah it's ok." I say a lot gentler than I meant to. Something about her is so calming. "Ok, good." She finishes everything and lets my arm go, making me frown slightly. "There, all better. Try not to use that hand for a while." She throws away some things and puts the extra bandages away as well as the medicine. "Yeah, ok got it, and uh, come back tomorrow night?" I reassure myself that I'll see her again. "Yeah, i'll see you tomorrow night." She smiles and I nod. My cheeks are burning hot and my legs jelly as I leave. Newt looks at me and gives me a quick nod and smile and looks away. Goddamn it. They were right.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Knock, Knock, Knock. "Hey Y/N." I smile at her standing in the entryway. She looks back and brightens up immediately. "Gally!" She runs and puts her arms around me. "What's going on today?" "Just got a cut on my leg is all, needed your magic." She grabs my hand and brings me to the seat and sits across from me. "Alright show me." She grabs medicine and the bandage. I lift my pant leg and she looks at it trying to figure out what to do. "Alright, now, may I ask what happened?" She gives me a raised eyebrow. "Ya know, wood can be quite sharp." I stare at her, her face so bright and her scent so strong. Her hands on my leg rubbing absentmindedly. "I see." She cleans and applies medicine. "The other medjacks told me you never see them, you always seem to wait and see me. What's that about?" She asks not looking away from my leg. "You've got this magic they don't have. All they do is pop on everything without care and love like you." She smiles shyly and her cheeks go bright. "Well that makes me happy." "As long as it's you, I'll let you do whatever." I say without thinking. She pauses for a moment and looks up at me. "Sorry, that was weird-" "No." She cuts me off.

"Don't worry, it wasn't" She goes back to my leg with a new found look of mischief. I sigh in relief. She finishes up my leg and washes her hands in the small fountain she made nearby.

"Alright, you're all good." She helps me up. "Thanks, and sorry for the weird comment I didn't mean it-" I get cut off again by the feel of her lips on mine. Her hand reaches up and touches my cheek. I close my eyes and lean in closer to her. Our teeth almost bumping. After a while of our heads turning and our lips swollen, we pull away. I smile and place my head on hers. "Come back and visit me anytime Gally." She rubs my cheek.
