Why do you celebrate one's birthday? What's the point of it if you have work to do and your own family does not care about you? Newton Artemis -Fido Scamander sighed when he saw the sunrise through the window. 'Another night.' Newt thought as he ran a hand through his red-brown hair and closed his eyes. He was tired but he did not care. However, he opened them when he remembered what day it was. Today was his birthday. Like he cares though. No one cares about his birthday so, why should he?
"Brother are you awake?" the call of his older brother Theses snapped him out of his thoughts.
"I'll be right up!" Newt called back as he made his way to the stares.
When Newt walked up to his brother, his eyes did not move to his eyes but to something wrapped in his hands. "Good morning little brother," Newt's brother Theseus was living with Newt after some traumatic event to made him unstable. "Happy birthday," Newt's eyes snapped up to meet his brothers. Newt never does this, and Theseus stared at him shocked.
"You…you….." Newt cut off and looked away from his brother who smiled.
"Newt," Theseus sighed and ran a hand though his brown hair. "I do care about you. Why, you thought I did not care?" Theseus asked as Newt sat down and nodded. This made Theseus sigh and sit too. "Art, of course I care. You need to get that into your head little brother," Newt smiled but he did not say anything, and Theseus sighed again.
"Are you sure you care brother?" Newt asked with pain in is voice. Theseus looked at him and took a breath.
"Newt," the war hero took another breath. "Yes, I care. I love you little brother. Even though I don't really share it. Sorry Newton," Theseus smiled when Newt took the present and unwrapped it. His eyes went wide when it was a book about dragons.
"Thank you Thee. I…..I don't know what to say," Theseus nodded and stood up.
"Can I…I hug you. I know you don't like when people touching you but I thought…" Theseus cut off when Newt nodded slowly not meeting his brother's eyes. Theseus nodded as well and pulled Newt into his arms. "I care brother. I will always care," Theseus said into Newt's shoulder. Newt felt tears in his eyes as he let them fall onto his face. "Happy birthday little brother," Theseus said once he pulled out of his brother's arms. "How about food for your special day?" Newt laughed when Theseus bowed and walked into the kitchen. Newt followed him with a smile knowing now that someone did care about him.
