Hard-working day (TBS imagine)
Thomas had left two more hours of rolling before he could go home. He was filming The Scorch Trials, the second movie of The Maze Runner series and they were doing the scene where W.I.C.K.E.D attacks the Right Arm’s camp. Acting those scenes was exhausting, he had to run a lot and fight and he was very tired, he had been working six hours already. He was just hoping to get home and lay on the couch till next day.
—Action!
Thomas heard and began to run, he hid behind Dylan and a green box, they kept pretending they heard explosions and screams. Then he had to run, take a gun and start “shooting” people. Afterwords they said a few lines of the script and then more war. This kept for a while and they had to repeat it a few times, getting Thomas even more and more tired everytime. And although the weather was cold at night, he was pretty wet with sweat.
When the two long hours ended and Wes told everybody they were done for the day Thomas let out a heavy sigh and imagined the warm and relaxing shower he would take when he got home. He was so tired he didn’t even feel hungry, he just wanted to sleep. A lot. Thomas was looking for his things when Dylan approached him.
—Hey Tommy, will you gather with the cast tonight? We are going to eat some pizzas and have some beers, Wes just told us we had free day tomorrow. —Dylan patted his shoulder and left his hand resting there.
Thomas looked at him and smiled lazily —Sorry man, I’m really really exahusted. I’m just going to take a shower and have a good sleep tonight. —Dylan looked a little disappointed but he still smiled and they greeted each other with a brotherly hug.

The door knob switched along with the keys and Thomas pushed the white door entering to the living room of his quiet apartment. Thomas put the keys on the pedestal table and closed the door. He didn’t remember letting the lamp on. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked around. That’s when he spotted a girl sleeping on his couch. He smiled and silently went to take his precious shower.
Hot water dripped from above his head, creating vapor that filled the air of the room, he inhaled deeply and let out the air along with the stress; his muscles relaxing with the warm of the water. When he was changing into clean and comfortable clothes to sleep he heard noises in his kitchen, like the microwave working and spoons clicking. She was awake. Thomas walked into the kitchen and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her left shoulder. She smiled. Then she turned her head and looked at his smile and then up to his tired eyes.
—Hi —her voice was sweet and tranquil, relaxing him even more.
—Hello, love. —he kissed her cheek and then separated.
—I hope you don’t mind I used the keys you gave me I just wanted to wai—Love, is good. I don’t mind at all. —Yeah I know but is your apartment and we don’t live together yet so is not ok from me to enter whenever I feel like it and—his laugh stopped her rambling and she looked at him.
—Baby I’m serious, it’s ok really —his smile convinced her. A beep was heard and she inmediatly took two cups from the microwave and handed one to him.
—I know you probably didn’t eat so I made you a soup. —she grinned again and he was very thankfull for both things, the soup and her smiles.
They went to the sofa and sat there for a while, talking of each other’s day. He told her everything about how stressing the scenes of that day were and she told him how the coffe shop was also particularly busy that afternoon. She had noticed the dark circles under his brown eyes and how much energy it took from him to say every sentence. So she put the now empty cups on the little table next to the couch and got herself in a laying position, he followed her movements and hugged her tightly. She wrapped one arm around his shoulders and stroked his hair and neck with the other.
He felt pleased. His back muscles loosened and his arms too. His eyes closed almost instantly and he felt himself feeling better already. Just a few minutes passed and she felt his breathing slowing down. He had fallen asleep peacefully.
Although Thomas hadn’t planned ending his long day like this, he definetly enjoyed it a lot.
