Do you have a Valentine? || Accepting

“Ah no. No I do not. Never really thought about it to be honest with you. Why do you ask?”

[nevvtscannander-blog]

goldsteinauror:

“Well - maybe you should stop speaking hypothetically to her… I’m sure she might like to be asked - maybe she’ll surprise you.”

Newt turned his head down slightly but the soft smile didn’t leave his face at all as he took a bit of a shy glance back towards Tina.

“Well if that’s the case… Tina would you like to be my Valentine? Not hypothetically of course.”

[goldsteinauror]

Tina couldn’t help but smile happily at him. Finally.

“I’d like that, Newt - of course I would... And that’s not hypothetical.”

[nxwtonscamandxr]

“any baby names picked out yet?”

“Not yet, though I believe I have a little time to think, don’t I?” Newt smiled as he set down his case, shrugging off his coat and stepping over to kiss his wife on the forehead, his hand resting gently on her stomach, “How about you? Any names in mind?”

[nxwtonscamandxr]

goldsteinauror:

“I’m don’t think that’s how it works, mister,” she replied, playfully shoving his hands away from her as she laughed.

“I’m not sure about my parents’ names… Well, if she’s a girl, just as long as she doesn’t get my name,” Tina said. “I mean, Esther is okay, but she won’t be called Porpentina, that’s for sure…”

Newt laughed and put his hands in his pockets as she shoved him away, just smiling down at her with a sweet smile, “I like feeling the baby move, you are only complaining because she or he dances on your insides.” He pouted, before smiling and shaking his head fondly. “I personally love the name Porpentina.” 

[goldsteinauror]

“You are the only person who likes it,” she replied - she was trying to be sarcastic, but there was a hint of fondness in her voice. He really did like her name, much more than she herself did, and she loved him for it.

“I like feeling them move too, she agreed, placing her hand against her stomach. “But, probably for different reasons - I’d like to see how you’d cope with a tiny person kicking your insides for months on end!”

[nxwtonscamandxr]

“any baby names picked out yet?”

“Not yet, though I believe I have a little time to think, don’t I?” Newt smiled as he set down his case, shrugging off his coat and stepping over to kiss his wife on the forehead, his hand resting gently on her stomach, “How about you? Any names in mind?”

[goldsteinauror]

Tina shrugged a little, letting her hands come to rest over his on top of her stomach. “Well, assuming he’s a he - we could always name him after you,” she suggested with a grin. “Plenty to choose from, after all. Newton, or Artemis, or Fido…”

[nxwtonscamandxr]

“Artemis is the name of a goddess, and Fido is the name of a dog.” He pointed out with a little laugh, “Maybe Newton, though naming him after me seems… I don’t know. Like cheating.” He laughed and pulled her close with his free hand, “What about naming the baby after your parents? After your father if it’s a boy, or your mother if it is a girl?” He tried, smiling warmly at her and looking down at her stomach, “Maybe baby will kick and let us now if it’s a boy or a girl in there. Once for a boy, twice for a girl.” 

[goldsteinauror]

“I’m don’t think that’s how it works, mister,” she replied, playfully shoving his hands away from her as she laughed.

“I’m not sure about my parents’ names... Well, if she’s a girl, just as long as she doesn’t get my name,” Tina said. “I mean, Esther is okay, but she won’t be called Porpentina, that’s for sure...”

@nothereforpuffskeins | 💋  “my muses reaction to yours kissing them on the lips”

Tina had gone down into Newt’s case to help him do his rounds of the creatures, before they both retired for the night. She had been doing it more and more recently; thankfully, he didn’t seem to mind.

They were working separately - Newt with his Monncalves, Tina with the Bowtruckeles - or at least they had been, until Tina turned around and found him standing close behind her.

He kissed her then, before she had a chance to say anything, and she made a surprised noise and grew wide-eyed. It only took a moment, though, for her to come to her senses… She kissed him back, even sans explanation for his actions. It felt so natural to kiss him; she wondered if he thought the same thing.

Her voice shook a little when she tried to speak as he pulled away. “I… Newt,” was all she managed, in the end.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

Newt had to admit - he was caught off guard by the kiss. Sure, he’d kissed her and had the affection returned, but… for her to instigate the kiss in turn… He smiled into the kiss, bringing a hand up to cup her cheek. 

[goldsteinauror]

Tina couldn’t help but tilt her head towards his hand, leaning into his touch - this was new and strange and unfamiliar for them both, but she was quickly getting used to it.

She moved her hands from his shoulders, moving her arms loosely around his neck. She felt him smile against her lips and couldn’t help but return the gesture as they continued to kiss.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

After a few more moments, the kiss was broken so the two of them could (again) catch their breath. Newt still seemed unsure of himself, but the reassurance by having her initiate the kiss seemed to help volumes.

“So… uh…” He started, but couldn’t seem to come up with anything else to add to it, causing a blush to come to his cheeks again.

[goldsteinauror]

She leaned in to press a quick kiss to his cheek, mostly to stop him stuttering. “I’m really not complaining, but - what brought all of this on?” she asked with a smile, her arms around Newt’s neck, not wanting to completely let go of him.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

Newt looked down at her, his cheeks dusted a light pink as he continued to hold her by the waist. “I’m uh… not quite sure, really.” He said in response, his eyes darting away awkwardly.

[goldsteinauror]

“Well, whatever it was - I’m glad,” she said with a little shrug of her shoulders.

She moved a little closer then, wrapping her arms more tightly around him, and leaned her head against his shoulder. “Is this alright?” she made sure to ask. He had just kissed her, but still - she wanted to make sure that he was comfortable with the physical contact.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

Newt gave a quiet smile as he felt her head come to rest against him, and he came to hold her more securely against him. He nodded at her questions resting his cheek against her head and closing his eyes for a moment as he just… enjoyed the embrace.

[goldsteinauror]

She nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck as they held one another. She hadn’t noticed how he smelled before, but now she did. It was very much… Him. It made her smile.

She pressed a little kiss against his neck, covered by his collar, before turning her head to press another kiss to his jaw.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

The wizard smiled softly as he felt her nuzzling into him, though he smiled more at the kisses. He lightly rubbed her back with one of his thumbs, and had been about to kiss her head again when they were suddenly swarmed by the mooncalves. One of them nearly took Newt out at the legs, causing him to more than ungracefully catch himself - only to start laughing.

[goldsteinauror]

Tina jumped a little as Newt stumbled, but let out a huff of laughter as she realised what was going on. She rolled her eyes a little as he laughed - in hindsight, she should’ve expected to be interrupted by some creatures sooner or later. She couldn’t find it in herself to be annoyed, though - she really was rather fond of the Mooncalves.

“You know, when I imagined this happening, I forgot to imagine your creatures coming to interrupt,” she joked, holding onto his arms as they both steadied themselves.

[nothereforpuffskeins]

Newt grinned at her reaction, straightening up and looking down at the mooncalf closest to him. “Now Nigel, you know you have to be more careful - you wouldn’t want the two of us falling on you, would you?” He asked, and the creature simply blinked cutely at them. He sighed fondly, shaking his head before looking back to Tina. “Back to the hut?” He suggested.

[goldsteinauror]

She watched him as he spoke to the creature, marvelling silently at his strange ability to seemingly understand them. Tina didn’t really understand his odd qualities but, for whatever reason, they made her all the more fond of him.

“The hut sounds like a good plan,” she smiled, grabbing his hands to pull him gently away from his Mooncalves.

“And still hypothetically speaking there might be someone that I do have in mind. And that someone I have in mind is speaking in hypotheticals with me. Not quite sure what she would say outside the hypotheticals though.”

“Well - maybe you should stop speaking hypothetically to her... I’m sure she might like to be asked - maybe she’ll surprise you.”

“Mmm.. you know you might be right. I’d hate for her to be upset,” he agreed and flashed another smile “-if you’d like to… step aside. I’ll join her… make sure she’s doing alright… and I’ll be out of your hair as quick as I can be,” he offered now, hands on his hips. He extended a hand, and his staff floated over to it. “-I know you don’t like me Ms. Goldstein…. I’m trying to make this easier.”

[goldsteinauror]

Really, Tina would rather not think about what he was planning to do when he joined her - the protective big sister inside her told her not to step aside - but she let reason win, and uncrossed her arms with a sigh.

“It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just...” Tina searched for the words to explain how she felt. “I’m very protective of Queenie, I always have been. I don’t like anything that’s gonna hurt her. And sometimes - a lot of the time, actually - that includes the men she brings home.”

The Morning After - Closed

[prcspero-blog]

“A speakeasy… she picked up my thoughts.. like she does. And we clicked,” he left out the various seedy details, seeing as this was her sister. “-lovely girl, your sis,” he continued, finishing his last bite of eggs, and then with another hand wave, his dishes moved to clean themselves. “-one in a million. I plan on keeping company with her, if she’s favorable,” he explained, and stood. “-but for now I think I’ve over-stayed my welcome, let me grab my shirt, and I’ll leave you both in peace,”

[goldsteinauror]

“I wish she wouldn’t go to sketchy places on her own late at night,” Tina mused, more to herself than to Prospero. She almost forgot he was there as she thought to herself - he caught her eye then, eating his food, and she quickly added, “That’s not to say you’re sketchy. Well, I mean, maybe you are. Merlin, I don’t know...”

She moved a little to the right, in front of Queenie’s door, to stop him going to retrieve his shirt as he mentioned leaving. “I don’t have any problems with you going - but Queenie probably won’t be happy if you’re gone before she gets up.”
