"That is why I love you": A Newtina Fic (inspired by @elisha-am)
Based off this post by @elisha-am, so go thank them for giving me inspiration (for once)
"Tina!" Newt exclaimed, almost slipping on the wet ground while running towards her, the girl that he loved.
"Mr. Scamander." Tina replied, barely able to contain her anger.
That was enough for Newt to know he had fucked up. "Tina, what's wrong? Are you ok??" He said, extremely worried as to what he could've done that upset her.
"Shouldn't you be back with your fiancée?" She said the word as if it were poisonous.
"Fiancée? What do you mean Tina? What did you read?" He responded, slightly worried now.
"This." She slapped a magazine into his hands, open to the page that had caused her the worst feeling she felt she would ever have to endure, complete heartbreak and betrayal.
"Oh, bugger, they got it all wrong, it's Theseus, my brother, marrying Leta, not me. I am going to be his best man. It's quite hilarious don't you think?"
"What? Your brother? And you are okay with that?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" He gave her the same completely confused face like the one a year ago at the dock when she asked him if Leta loved to read.
"It's just...I mean, you and Leta...and your brother..."
"Like I said, Tina, people change. They, they love each other," his ears turned a little pink saying that, "I think, and I'm happy for them."
"Oh." She let out a sigh of relief fallowed by a small smile that warmed his heart.
And she is not the girl I want to marry anymore. He hadn't been brave enough to say and didn't think they were there yet, but one day. A truth a day. "We will get there, hopefully soon" he thought, clutching the small black box tucked away in his coat pocket. They weren't even dating but he still knew he loved her, and enough so that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
The pair walked hand in hand, misunderstanding cleared up, genuinely happy. "Oh, and Tina, one more thing, I should give you this." He pulled a small book out of his pocket, and handed it to her. "My book," he explained. "I know you wanted your copy in person, so here it is."
"Newt Scamander, you never cease to amaze me." She said, stopping for a moment to hug him. The next words out of her mouth were ones that would never fail to make him happy "And that is why I love you."
