#and that mindset bleeds over to Newt and the Right Arm. so he doesn't think Newt saves him because he's a person

[star--anon]

I am a normal person

with that disclaimer out of the way, Minewt AU, where WCKD experiments on Minho (and others) and Newt's part of the Right Arm and is trying to break him out

but the pain, the delirium, the few precious times when WCKD's given him a break from the Trials and he can finally sleep for once. It's all Minho knows. It's all he has. Please don't take that away from him too.

In fact, Newt's successfully broken him out multiple times. Minho shuffles quietly around the Right Arm camp, not entirely sure what to do. He talks to Newt, but very sparingly. Just nods his head, maybe a "yes" or a "no" here and there.

But Newt can't be around often (he and Vince are almost always off on another mission), and nobody else at Right Arm really knows how to deal with him. He eats, sleeps, never has nightmares, and they all assume he's getting better when and leave him be.

Eventually, inevitably, Minho always goes back.

#y'know what I mean? It's not Stockholm Syndrome it's just like. nobody there to help him adjust #WCKD takes away his reality all the time but at least he would wake up from that #being stolen away into the Right Arm is a robbing of his life that he can't get out of #also imagine WCKD drilling it into his head that his only purpose is to save humanity etc. etc. So in his mind all he is is a test subject #and that mindset bleeds over to Newt and the Right Arm. so he doesn't think Newt saves him because he's a person #he just assumes he has to be useful to Newt in some way. that's the only reason someone would take interest in him #and because his only interaction with Newt is him getting saved. he just thinks that he's useful to Newt because Newt likes saving people #that's why Newt's away on missions all the time. Why he doesn't stick around Minho after he rescues him #so Minho goes back to his ''comfortable'' life back in WCKD and bides his time being useful to WCKD. until Newt decides to save him again #idk I just like this dynamic where Newt is desperately trying to break the brainwashing WCKD did to him #and Minho's like ''clearly I am a play toy to satisfy this man's savior complex. Oh well. time to go get myself in danger again'' #I don't take constructive criticism because I'm not wrong #minewt #tmr minho #tmr newt
