Hey again readers! I wish I had something else to call you guys, "readers" is basic. I am Eagle Vivi so… Hey again Eagles! I know I said the note would be shorter this time and I lied Thanks to all the people who followed and faved my story, it brings me so much joy to know that you appreciate the hours it takes to write these. This next chapter will be more T rated than the last one. Just a certain moment, I will warn you before it. Please leave a review and tell me how you like it, or if you want, even leave your own song recommendations! BTW I know I said "No Crimes of Grindelwald spoilers!" but they're light spoilers so…yeah. Also I know I said this last chapter but something Newt seems more open than Newt really is around Tina and yes, I wanted to write him that way but I toned it down a little bit. I don't know if it was clear or not but Tina doesn't live with Newt. Newt has a house in London and a house in New York. At the moment Newt, Tina, Queenie and Jacob are visiting London. Bunty lives in London but she apparates and disapparates to America occasionally. Let's pretend that fashion is the same in the 1920s as it is now…okay? Thanks to LaughUrHeartOut for reviewing (and not adding sugar but still not being rude) and I tried to apply your advice this chapter. And this will matter in like…40 seconds…so Tina and Newt have already had their first kiss which I might write into a flashback and the next scene is more for development.
Do I own Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts? Nope. Onto the story!
The T rated part starts right…now! I tried to write it in a skip-able way so I will say when it ends. 7:00 am the day after the last chapter.
Newt was sitting on the couch in his living room next to Tina. He hadn't worn his usual layers of clothing but his typical trousers and a white button down shirt since it was early morning.
Tina was relaxed but alert and Newt was relatively stiff but calm. They were opposites yet similar.
Tina and Newt were typically together through the mornings (since they both wake up earlier than most) and naturally got closer to each other as time went on. Tina reached her left arm over his shoulder and rested her head on him. He pulled her in and took in the faint scent of her hair.
Eventually she put both arms around him and drew him towards her, pressing her lips to his, he tensed sharply and Tina lightly loosened her hold. Newt hesitated for a moment, but instead of pulling back he started to relax his body and snaked his right arm around her back and his left behind her neck and lured her closer. Tina moved one of her arms down and gently stroked his chest, touching each button marginally as she streamed her hand down. He relaxed more under her touch and flooded with warmth.
Tina slowly swept her hand back up Newt's shirt. He pressed further in and deepened the kiss. Her lips lost his and moved to his neck, sending a tingling sensation down his spine. He tensed up again but didn't object. Newt felt awkward but comfortable. He tried to keep the tension levels low and thought to himself not to make a sound. She felt him stiffen and tried to re-calm him with the movement of her hands. She trailed her kisses up his neck, to his ear and back to his lips. They went on and on until they had to either stop or risk being caught.
That's the end of that! I know it's a little abrupt, and I'm all for some variety but I couldn't think of where to go with that scene but I wanted to include it just for some extra relationship value.
12:00 pm same day
They were both walking around Newt's office unknowingly being gazed upon by Bunty.
"He tries to kill me sometimes," Newt said while staring at his shoes.
Newt quickly glanced over into Tina's salamander eyes (I had to do it okay!). He turned his head back down quickly. Newt blushed lightly but it was hard to see through his sun-kissed, freckled skin.
"I can't decide if it's Theseus, or you," Tina said truthfully, "He wants to kill you, so you do close to nothing. He wants to hug you and you get mad. It's backwards on both ends but maybe more on yours."
"I suppose so. It's like – like a habit to break." Said Newt trying to control his stuttering,
"I get that." Said Tina understandingly.
To her, Newt was mixture of mature and immature, of smart and clueless, of shy and daring. He was layered in a perfect way. That was what she loved about him – that there was so much to love.
The room went silent briefly and Newt and Tina's eyes were still glued to the grassy flooring. They could both agree that silence mid –conversation was more awkward than saying something stupid. After an uncomfortable 10 seconds, Tina broke the silence.
"What were you like as a child?" Tina asked as she looked over to him. It was a random question with little to know meaning.
"Umm. I was close with my mother. She loved magical creatures, especially Hippogriffs." Newt said as he inconsistently returned Tina's gaze, "When I went to school, people didn't like me. I still tend annoy people."
"It seems impossible to me that someone could dislike you." Said Tina with a genuine smile,
"Thank You," Newt said breaking his gaze and staring at the ground again,
"Any time."
Before long they both had to start their day. Tina decided to spend some time with Queenie and Newt had to feed his beasts and help Bunty groom some of them.
Newt worked for a while, though it didn't feel like work to him. Bunty was crushing on Newt again and Newt was blind to it like always. He loved Tina, and no matter what anyone said, he only loves her. If there is anything that he cares about more than beasts, it's definitely Tina.
Newt wasn't one to get lost in thought. He felt the need to be aware of his surroundings, and he preferred being lost in his creatures instead.
"Newt, do you want me to wake her up?" Asked Bunty while pointing to one of the baby nifflers, "They need to go out for exercise but this little one is napping."
"Let her sleep. She might be too tired once you wake her," Said Newt, "You can let her run around in a few hours, just make sure she has extra water like usual."
"Of course, Newt." Bunty said with admiration in her voice that seemed impossible to miss, but still Newt couldn't quite catch it.
He strolled along and continued with his activities.
2:30 pm same day.
Newt and Queenie were the only ones in the living room when they heard a knock on the door. He slowly walked up to it before turning the knob and pulling it open.
"Hello Newt."
"Hi Theseus -"
"Hey Newt! Nice to see you!" Interrupted River, before shoving her way through the door, her dark browns curls flying behind her.
Newt was nearly stampeded by Lauren and River's friend Payton hurdling through the doorway after her. He walked out of the line of fire before letting Theseus and Leta in.
"Good afternoon, Newt." Said Leta,
"Good afternoon." Said Newt, out of breath form dodging pre-teens.
Tina came out of her room and greeted everyone warmly. (Yes, even Leta. I really didn't see a grudge there in the movies so why put it here.)
"Can we go down to your office Newt?" Asked London much more calmly than her sister had greeted him.
"Sure, just be careful and don't go near the Kelpie."
"Okay, Thank you."
So London, Payton and Lauren went down to Newt's workshop in a heap of brown hair.
3:30 pm same day. Btw Payton is a guy if you were wondering.
"Why don't we play a game?" Suggested Leta, "Something childish, they're the most fun."
"I'm down." Said Jacob immediately.
"Everyone else?" Asked Leta.
"Depends on the game." Said Tina skeptically.
"How about truth or dare?" Said Leta.
Everyone agreed until it came down to Newt and Tina. "Maybe" Said Newt.
"Why not, I guess." Said Tina. With that Newt was in too.
And were done. I know it was a little short but the next one will be the best so far and I will be posting every Sunday now. Today's songs are Fixed – New Hope Club. Troublemaker – Olly Murs. So this might not be as interesting but I needed some setup. The whole truth or dare is a bit OOC but just grab your tea because next chapter is a ride of character development okay muchachos and muchachas? Review and Request if you feel like it, if you don't feel like it and you would rather eat some nachos, who am I to keep you from that cheesy goodness? Also, I have a question that might seem pointless and maybe not. Do you think that Eddie Redmayne did well acting as Newt Scamander? I personally think he was amazing especially in The 2nd film but review and tell me what you think. Bye, Eagles!
