Tee's POV
My eyes opened slowly and I saw it was still pitch black outside, great. It was freezing. I had insisted that I have the thin blanket instead of the thick one, for Gally but now I wish I hadn't as he seemed not to be bothered by the cold at all. I shuffled around a bit; hoping it would warm me up a bit. Failure... all the shuffling obviously disturbed his lordship and Gally turned over. "What's with the noise greenie?" He whispered, clearly agitated. "Just a bit cold..." I replied. He sighed. "Well what do you want me to do about it?" He asked irritably. "Nothing" I answered shortly. "Well stop moving and just sleep" he complained shortly. "You have the bed and the thick blanket" I complained back. "Well have it back then, don't have a hissy fit" he remarked not looking at me. "No, I don't want it" I said. He huffed and sat up. "Well you're literally impossible to please so just go to sleep". A couple of minutes later I made another noise and he coughed loudly and sighed. "Are you going to do this all night?" He huffed. "I'm cold" I replied shortly. He sat up and pulled the blanket off him, he sat there looking at me. "Well, are you coming or what?" He asked impatiently. I realised he was gesturing for me to get in bed with him. "Ummm" I hesitated. "Just do it" he hurried me. I got up and slowly walked towards him; I sat on the bed. For a minute or so, we sat there awkwardly, wondering what to do. "Well, night, and this goes to no one" he said and lay down. I tried to lie down as further away as possible, he noticed this and huffed once again. "I don't have fleas you know, you can actually touch me" he said sarcastically. I didn't say anything and lay down, my thigh accidentally brushed his and it sent shivers down my back. Luckily, Gally fell asleep quickly and only then I felt I could actually relax and not act like I was sleeping in a coffin. I snuggled down and my face was supported by his back. He stirred and I felt his arm fall over my waist. I only smiled but prayed that I won't of done anything more by the morning. The heat of him next to me made me fall asleep pretty quickly next to him and I forgot about everything. The next morning I heard a muffled voice but couldn't be bothered to open my eyes. Someone rapped on the door and spoke. "Open up Gally, what have you done to that poor girl?" Newt joked. He came in and saw me in bed with Gally, I sat up and gave him a sheepish look. "Oh what have we here? Gally what have you been playing at?" I just stuttered and thought of how I could explain this without it sounding strange. He was topless, and his arm was around my waist; pulling me into him. (Didn't mean for that to sound weird) Gally's eyes opened and he sat up quickly, his arm removing itself from my person immediately.
"Newt! What do you want!" Gally nearly shouted. "Just to say morning you dawg " Newt laughed and ran out. "Oh for f***s sake" Gally said through clenched teeth, he hastily got up and ran after Newt. Gally hurriedly stopped Newt as a couple of other gladers had gathered around them. I guess gossip goes around here like hot cakes, nothing much else to talk about is there?.... I saw him negotiating with Newt and him nodding. Gally returned to the hut and sighed. He slipped his shirt back on quickly and looked at my expecting face. "I asked him not to tell anyone, you know how rumours will spread. It's nothing" he said clearly insinuating that this was NOTHING. My heart sank a little and I looked down. He must of clocked my slight disappointment and sneered. "Oh come on, we both know that's never going to happen" he said coldly. "Good because I would rather be attacked by a griever than anything happen here" I said signalling between us. "Oh come on, you don't mean that" he said folding his arms. "I do too" I retorted. He raised an eyebrow and paused. "I saw you looking at me yesterday when I took my shirt off, I know you liked it" he said smirking. "You're so arrogant I actually want to be sick" I remarked rudely. "And you're so naive and dumb I want to stick my face in a toilet, but hey" he replied coldly and walked out without a word. I put my face in my hands and whispered "Smooth Tee, you i***t". I didn't speak to Gally or even look at him for the rest of the day. I couldn't.
