Newt one shots Book 3

Capture P2

Slowly they went back to the camp their two little tents sat by the fire he built before leaving, Y/n sat in front of her tent clutching Newt's shirt

Newt went to sit down by the fire as well, his face still slightly red from earlier as he kept his gaze away from Y/n, who was still only wearing his shirt. He couldn't help but glance over towards her, his eyes tracing over the shape that her body made in the shirt

The silence continued as the sunset. Newt quietly looked over to her every now and then. He thought about speaking but didn't know what to say. Everything that had just happened still weighed heavily on him. Not to mention the fact that she was still only wearing his shirt...

"I can't believe it..."

He looks over at her, an eyebrow raised at her comment. "Huh? W-What do you mean?"

".I... I... I came. From that."

Newt's eyes widen, his face turning a little red at her comment. He tried to keep a straight face, but he wasn't fully doing so. "Oh... y-yea... I um... I noticed."

"What are you talking about?"

He swallows before replying, trying to hide the redness on his cheeks "When we were walking back... I noticed some... stuff... running down your legs..."

"I didn't want to... It was horrible, terrifying, I thought they would eat me... I... I can't believe I..."

He frowns, feeling guilty for how selfishly he had been thinking. Here she was, sitting there scared and feeling disgusted by what had just happened to her... and he was sat enjoying it "Hey... you don't need to be ashamed about that. It was a... natural response... it's not like you could've helped it..."

"but I still did! maybe it's different for guys or something but I... I have only ever been able to make myself do that, and even then it's complicated and... I did it... Multiple times... Because of them!"

He swallows, knowing that he shouldn't feel the way he does about her saying that. She was clearly upset and uncomfortable with what had happened, and yet part of him kept feeling some level of excitement. "I... I know, but like I said it's not your fault. You were forced into that position, you couldn't have controlled yourself..."

"... I can't thank you enough Newt, you hadn't come along, they'd have come back out when the Fokka was gone and... Who knows where it would have ended"

He shakes his head. "You don't need to thank me. I didn't do alot... I just got really lucky stumbling into that camp. Anyone else would've done the same." He takes a pause for a moment "If anything I..." He cuts himself off before he could say anything he shouldn't

she moved closer laying her head on his shoulder "Thank you Newt"

He looks over to her as she lays her head on his shoulder, his face reddening slightly at her small gesture. He swallowed and nodded "Of course... what are mates for..."

"mhm" she nodded "can I ask you something?"

He gives a nod in response "Of course. Ask away."

"would you share my tent tonight? I'm a bit scared to sleep alone"

His heart skipped a beat at the request. He wasn't expecting her to ask that. He swallowed before replying, trying to sound as casual as possible, "Oh-uh... sure... I don't mind..."

"thanks, Newt" she smiled

He smiles back with a nod. He really had to try and calm himself down and behave. He didn't expect to suddenly be sharing her tent that night, but there was no way he was going to turn down the offer, especially with her being so vulnerable still. he crossed his legs as they sat by the fire doing his best to conceal... What was still lingering. He did his best to focus on staying calm. He fiddled with the grass below him to try and distract himself, not wanting her to notice his 'little issue'
