Thanks for reading along my favorite people, you guys are amazing! Enjoy the fluff.

Everybody was happy at the dinner table that night. Anthony surprised everybody by turning up to be an excellent cook. He and Queenie, both prepared mouth watering dishes, soups, beverages and fruit custards, in the honour of Newt's and Tina's renewed relationship. This cause was only in their heads though, nobody dared to embarrass Newt more than he already was.

Queenie sat in between Jacob and Tina. Newt was sitting in between Jacob and Anthony. Queenie intentionally made Newt and Tina sit separately, to enjoy their dramatic thoughts. Anthony was very interested in Jacob's lifestyle at that moment.

"It's not that I don't know some nomajs personally, but you and me, we can really become friends! I won't even have to hide my magic." Jacob enthusiastically nodded and continued the conversation.

Tina begged Queenie mentally to help her get rid of Anthony without offending him. She loved her best friend, but right now.. She wanted so bad to be alone with Newt.

Newt wasn't saying anything like that verbally or mentally, but he too was glancing at Tina and was sheepishly grinning without any reason.

As smart as Anthony was, he finished dinner quickly and told Tina, "Alright Teen, Newt. I guess it's really late right now and I must get going. Jacob, do you mind if I apparate you home?"

Jacob gladly agreed, kissed Queenie goodnight, waved teasingly at Newt, Tina and left with Anthony. It was almost 3:30 am, so Queenie also yawned and went to bed. Tina and Newt had finished eating by then, they left for each other's room.

Tina entered her room, took off her coat and changed into her pajamas. She looked into the mirror. A tired but happy woman was standing in front of her. The reflection had such a joy in her eyes, that Tina hadn't seen in ages. The eyes of the woman shined like a girl in love, the wide smile was not leaving from her face even if she tried to.

Tina shook her head, picked up her hairbrush and started to brush her messy black hair. She then went to the restroom and spilled some cold water on her face and finally retired to her bed. She tried to sleep for full 15 minutes, but kept thinking about Newt one way or the other. Sighing, she rolled to a side, closed her eyes and started humming to herself.

Newt took off his outfit, took a bath and changed into a shirt and a trouser. He was not feeling like sleeping, because his mind was full of Tina's sweet laugh, silly giggles, her large brown eyes and long black hair. He tried to shove off these thoughts and to sleep, but remained wide awake. He needed to hold her once, he simply couldn't sleep without that ; not when they had finally confessed love again.

Newt slowly made his way to Tina's half closed door, a soft humming could be heard from within. Newt smiled to himself, it was the same song Tina had said that she liked. If it were any other situation, Newt would've never entered a woman's room at that time without permission. But this was Tina.

He slowly walked to her bed, Tina had her back on Newt as she was lying on her right side. Tina was oblivious to the intruder ; and now was slightly moving her body to the rhythm of her own song, as if dancing. Newt adoringly watched, not wanting the song to be over just yet. Her voice was more soothing than a mermaid's song, that Newt surprisingly started preferring now ; even over the muggle hummingbird.

Tina finished her song and sighed, because she was still not sleepy. Suddenly a soft touch on her shoulder made her head quickly turn to find a pair of exciting eyes. She sat upright and breathed, "Mercy Lewis you scared me to death!"

Newt jumped backwards and stammered, "Oh I'm awfully sorry about that… I couldn't sleep so, I thought...umm..okay... I'll go...sorry..

Tina giggled and said, "No Newt. This is you, so it's alright. Get back in here."

Not sure if he heard right, Newt sat on her bed. Tina's stomach was giving her flitterbies right now, only because of his very presence. What was she going to do with him? She hoped that Newt wouldn't hear her increasing heartbeat.

Suddenly Newt lost his balance, as Tina had dived into his arms without any warning. She giggled as she hugged Newt's chest tightly, "I knew you took a bath!"

Newt remembered that Tina loved his fresh scent after he takes a bath at night, but his face flushed as he was struggling to sit properly after Tina's attack, as he called it in his head.

They both laughed and tried to adjust themselves while being in each other's embrace. Once they were sober again, Newt shyly reached out to intertwine her hair in his fingers and started playing with them.

He pulled her with his other hand by her wrist, and asked, "Why aren't you asleep dear?"

Tina was now inhaling his scent again as she lazily murmured, "I tried to."

Newt smiled into her hair and pulled her by the shoulders to meet her eyes, "I love you." Tina let out a soft breath as she was mesmerized by his arresting bluish-green gaze. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Tina's heartbeat instantly rose and this time, she couldn't hide her clearly visible blush around her cheeks. Newt always adored whenever Tina blushed, so he couldn't control.

He cupped her cheek and kissed her passionately ; wanting to say a thousand words through the touch of his lips. Tina closed her eyes and invited him to appreciate her. Newt lied on top of her and made her lie down on her back, but it soon turned into fits of giggles. Newt placed both his hands on either sides of her body, to shield her from his weight.

Tina pressed her nose in the crook of his neck and tickled the skin of his bare neck with her nose tip playfully. Newt shuddered and his body collided with hers. They rolled on the other side together in between awkward laughters. Newt finally turned Tina on her side, and he faced her.

"Newt! Are you ticklish?" Tina asked while her head was now buried in his chest.

Newt blushed as he shyly stammered, "Erm.. You could say but… NO.. please Tina don't…"

Tina was already in his arms, so Newt couldn't run. She tickled his neck and chest through his shirt, and Newt started to laugh hysterically. Tina let him be after a few seconds, selfishly watching him adorably laugh his heart out.

While he exhaled a few times and finally looked at her with a fake angry look, whiling grinning ear to ear ; Tina shifted to sit next to him and whispered "I love you Newt. So much." Newt's features softened, he felt like a really lucky man to have such an innocent yet strong woman by his side ; wanting to accept him despite his many flaws, scars and insecurities. Newt's intense gaze was piercing through Tina's very soul, while she realised that she had stopped breathing.

Newt warmly smiled and requested her, "Will you please sing that song again? I love your voice."

Tina sighed and playfully crossed her arms and demanded, "Only if you sing along." They both hummed together, but after halfway through the paragraph, they started to giggle again.

Newt pulled Tina by the wrist and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips for the last time, and whispered, "Goodnight love."

Newt was about to leave, but Tina stopped him by holding the end of his shirt sleeves, "Where on earth are you going?"

Newt smirked, "Nowhere far, to the place where I'm supposed to sleep in."

Tina pouted and said, "Please stay here?" Newt dropped his gaze for a moment of hesitation, then looked back uncertainly.

"If you don't mind terribly….?" Tina tried to add but her voice trailed off as Newt had pressed his lips on Tina's irresistible pout. Tina was almost falling because of this sudden movement that was causing her to tremble and giving flitterbies in her stomach. She held Newt's strong shoulders for support, as Newt sat down on her bed and at the same time, now had slipped his tongue inside Tina's inviting parted mouth. They both blushed and enjoyed each other for a moment. It was Newt who pulled back, with a slightly concerned face, unsure if Tina approved.

But Tina's sheer nervousness, scarlet blush all over her cheek and shy beam made him relax. He waited for her breathing to become normal, and laid down on his back. Tina also shifted to lie down, pulled the blanket over them, placed her head on Newt's chest and grasped lightly on his upper arm with her soft fingers.

Newt looked down at her to meet her large brown gaze, beamed at her and reached out for her face with his free hand. He slowly ran his palm over her eyes as if to close her eyelids, which she obliged with a smile. They fell asleep in each other's safe company.

Tina woke up to the most beautiful sight the next morning. Newt's innocent sleepy face was right beside her. His head was resting on Tina's elbow and his hands were closely kept on his own chest. Tina realised that he was trying not to do anything inappropriate while sleeping, ever a gentleman.

Newt's lips were slightly parted ,his breath was slow and soft. Tina brushed her nose tips with his ; then she slowly took his hands and kissed each palm softly. Newt didn't wake up.

Tina saw the clock, it was 7.30 am already and Newt had to catch his Ilvermorny portkey. She thought for a moment, then smirked to herself. She leaned over Newt, and tickled his neck softly. Newt shifted and murmured in sleep, "Pickett no."

Tina laughed again and held his cheek within her palm. She slowly pressed her lips on his, and this time, she bit on his upper lip.

Newt's eyes fluttered open and he moaned, "Wha- oh merlin!"

Tina laughed and stuck out her tongue. Then she noticed that the shock was still lingering in Newt's eyes. She sighed and pulled both her ears with her fingers, "Sorry?"

Newt got over Tina's attack and laughed out loudly. He sat up, released Tina's hands from her ears and pressed her body against his chest, "Morning dear. That was an incredible way to wake me up. Why thank you.." Tina giggled and hugged back.

Breakfast was a sad one. Newt was supposed to leave for Ilvermorny early, and Tina although knew it perfectly, having been the person to wake him up in the first place; she was still making a nasty fuss about it.

Newt was completely dressed, eating in the dining room, and Tina was grumpily sitting on the sofa, watching him.

"Don't your students go for vacation?" She asked hopefully.

Newt kept eating and answered without looking up, "It's cold outside dear. They'd rather sit in the warm classroom. And I joined only 2 days ago, I'm not supposed to take any leave."

Tina scowled. Newt noticed how childish Tina was behaving from the morning, but he considered the fact that she was forced to be matured at a very early age. This was her only way to let out the little girl inside. Honestly, Newt enjoyed this side of her.

He finished his food and went over to Tina to say goodbye. She was looking furious, but she easily hugged back when Newt leaned in. He let out a sigh and said, "Try not to miss me?"

Tina looked away and said, "I wouldn't think about you even for a second!"

Newt sadly said, "I will though. I hope you know that if it was even 1% possible for me to stay, I'd stay." Newt turned around to leave, but something got stuck. He saw that the end of his bright blue jacket was in Tina's hands, who was grumpily pretending to read the newspaper.

"Tina, my jacket… It's stuck." She pretended not to hear and favoured Newt with an eye roll.

Newt became frustrated, then he started to laugh, "Well, if you keep doing this…" He leaned in again to turn Tina's chin towards him. He pressed a soft kiss on her lips and squeezed her hand. He gently pulled his jacket free from her grip and said, "Bye button. Be good to the people at MACUSA. Don't scare them too much and I might give you a surprise later."

He let go of her and disapparated immediately, before he lost the courage not to stay. Tina yelled behind him, "That was unfair!" Then she laid on her back on the sofa, praising the newspaper against her face.

Queenie was hiding in her room, so that these two could finish their drama peacefully. When Newt finally left, she came out to Tina. She threw the newspaper away from Tina's face and scolded her, "Will you get ready for MACUSA or not? I'll not give you any chocolate if you keep making faces like that. Drink your old veg soup and leave then."

Tina sighed and gave Queenie a weak smile, "I need chocolates." Queenie smiled, told her to get ready and went to the kitchen. She threw a chocolate bar to Tina and sat on the table, facing her.

"So you two are back to being lovers, huh?" Queenie fondly asked, already knowing the answer. Tina's face lit up, but grew upset again.

"Tina, your thoughts are jumbled up. What are you trying to think?" Queenie asked, frustrated now because of Tina's mind rambling.

Tina stared at her choco-bar and asked quietly, "Don't get me wrong, but what does he think of Leta Lestrange now?" She looked up, insecurity in her eyes threatening to spill any moment.

Queenie kept a straight face and answered matter-of-factly, "He doesn't, he did not think about her for a long time. Only once, when he was beside you in the case, you were sleeping… He thought how amazing you were…" She paused to look at Tina, "Newt wants you not to worry about Leta at all. He found the giver he deserved. Leta..used him...just for the sake of her priorities. Okay, listen to me. For one last time. Leta was the one and only ally, friend, companion or whatever, he ever had in his entire life Tina. Nobody, would ever share his feelings, thoughts… friendship, aside from her. Newt had to share everything with her for over two decades of his childhood and adolescence, what do you expect?"

Tina's head was buried to her knees right now, she only looked up as Queenie paused. She heard her go on, "Tina, you had me. You had Anthony, Hestia, other Thunderbirds, Brad, Sophia, Jackson, our neighbours… you did have a boyfriend, even if he was a complete… But Newt had only his parents, brother and at school.. Leta. But now, he has us, he has Jacob and Anthony, colleagues at MACUSA, students at Ilvermorny...He'll be fine off without Leta, don't you worry for a second. Okay? Teenie? Relax, he loves you. Only you."

Tina sighed as Queenie had answered all of her unuttered inner questions, and smiled as she heard that Newt loves only her. She was getting insecure for no reason, because Newt left for work. She pursed her lips and hugged Queenie, thanking her mentally for all the supports she received. She knew that eventually she has to leave for work too. She took heavy breaths and turned her mechanical, stern and serious MACUSA mode on.

Tina was sitting in her cabin, surrounded by howlers, letters, files, owls hooting around her for more letters to be sent and her head was going jammed. Right then, somebody knocked at the door. She cried out, "Yes? Please come in."

Anthony Frederick entered the room with a heavy file and stood in front of her desk, "Miss Goldstein, I was supposed to deliver this to you."

Tina looked up and her eyes widened, "Hey." She was surprised at his coldness. Anthony firmly closed the door, checked the closed window, then his expression changed.

He crossed his arms and exclaimed, "You never said how cool your cabin was! This is huge Teens."

Tina chuckled and said, "It's not something I should be babbling about. Madam Picquery says I've done her good by helping capture Grindelwald. But I didn't really..."

Anthony cut her off impatiently, "You didn't help much, it was Newt's credit? Thought so. He says it isn't his credit, but yours. You two won't stop being humble."

Tina smiled and said, "What about Samantha?"

Anthony gaped, "How on earth did you... Queenie! It's unfair to disclose personal information!"

Tina punched against his chest, "Unfair my foot. What about pals huh? I thought you were supposed to tell me everything?"

Anthony frowned, "You shut yourself up from me. Don't pal me. Anyway, Samantha...is a soft and intelligent girl. She isn't very outspoken, but... I think I am falling for her. You know what I mean?" He blushed, but Tina was his best friend, they always shared crushes and stuff.

Tina fondly pinched his cheeks and said, "I know exactly what you mean bro. This is so good! We are both in love, aww."

Anthony nodded, then a sudden thought made him smirk, "Do you have a nickname for Newt?"

Tina said, "Newt is his nickname, technically. From Newton. Mine is Tina, from Porpentina, no?"

Anthony shook his head, "No like a lover's nickname. Take Brad's example. You heard about Vienna right? Brad calls her Uni-Vuni. As in, 'uni' from unicorn; 'cause she is as beautiful as an unicorn. And 'vuni' from Vienna."

Tina started laughing hysterically, she just couldn't stop. She kept murmuring, "Mercy Lewis spare me from those starcross lovers." When her laugh eased a bit, she said, "Are you crazy? Lover's nickname for him? What? A blast-ended skrewt?"

Anthony broadened his eyes and said, "What? I thought he is more good looking!" They both laughed. He again said, "I call Samantha 'Sam', around people. But sometimes I call her..."

"What?" Tina asked with a teasing expression.

"Oh don't mock me later. I call her 'sugar'. I said do not smirk like that!" Anthony pleaded.

Tina was laughing again, thinking about all the possible nicknames for Newt. She thought for a moment and said, "You know what? He has nicknames for me! I...never noticed. You know he calls me - 'button'. He blushes when he calls me that. He calls me 'dear' very often. Also, I know he calls me 'love' when I do something childish or when I'm being stubborn."

Anthony was impressed, "That man has such a golden heart. I'm sure those names are heartfelt, not like 'uni-vuni'. But honestly, you give him loving names too, it's..romantic no?"

Tina nodded and hugged Anthony. They chatted away happily about old days and new gossips.
