[Running is familiar to the point of being soothing now, and Minho is feeling a lot calmer as they approach the city. Running away from danger with Thomas by his side is getting to be the only sense of normalcy he has anymore, and maybe that's why he'd hated the Scorch so much. They'd been apart for the majority of it, but he'd still had Newt and the others.
Newt. He can see him standing at the gate and waiting, tall and blond and skinny as anything. It's a familiar sight from all those days spent running the Maze only to return to the Glade and the watchful eye of his oldest friend. Something about the tension of his stance makes Minho slow down before Thomas, which is a good thing since his friend is suddenly receiving a beating. But Newt probably has a good reason, so Minho just stands back and watches while biting down laughter.
The soft smile is familiar, but something in Newt's eyes look sad and it makes him hesitate to go in for the hug that Newt fails to initiate. He's seen sadness in Newt's eyes before, no matter how hard he tries to hide it, and Minho doesn't always say something but he's aware it's there. He'd seen that look once and ignored it, probably when Newt needed to be seen and comforted more than ever. That's why, even when Newt retreats, Minho doesn't wait long before going to look for him.
The greeting is flat and sounds like something Newt might say to anyone. Minho isn't just anyone. He swats Newt's hand away from his mouth since it's a bad habit and he knows Newt is hiding behind it.]
two Thomases fighting over me [blush] not a problem!

What's wrong with you?
[Being a blunt asshole never hurt either, right?]
