The Feeling (Newt x Reader)

- 6 -

     "Oh that's right, what was it that we were talking about again?" Newt laughed, surprised to see that I remembered. The night sky twinkled with stars as Newt and I sat, leaning on the large tree trunk staring into space.
     "Well during breakfast, I was frustrated because it seemed like those shanks knew something I didn't. They were giggling, looking at me and I don't know I just felt a little bit offended." I said, looking at my ripped jeans as my knees folded towards my chest. Newt took a bite out of his sandwich, laughing.
     "You're so bloody oblivious Y/N, it's adorable." Newt replied, putting his sandwich on his lap and dusting the crumbs off his hands. I looked at him, my chest bursted with that same feeling and I felt my cheeks go red. I quickly grabbed my sandwich and broke the eye contact. "Did I say something wrong greenie?" Newt asked, obviously noticing my embarrassment as he finished his sandwich with two quick bites. That was shucking fast, I thought.
     "N-no, it's just lately, I've been feeling really weird," I said, playing with my fingers as I tried not to look at Newt. My face was so red, I couldn't let Newt look at me like that.      
     "You see, when we had that conversation about romance this morning, I think I started to understand these feelings a little bit." I saw Newt's eyes widen, as if the same thing was happening to him too. I decided to continue. Maybe he's having these feelings too, I thought. I decided to continue explaining.

- Newt's Perspective -

Feelings?! Understand what feelings??, I thought as I looked at her. She was fiddling with her thumbs and her cheeks were a bright red. She's so shucking beautiful, I couldn't help but adore her, I loved her so much. If only she knew. I continued to listen to her speak, her voice was music to my ears.

- Y/N Perspective -

     "I can't help but feel my heart race whenever I'm with you. My palms get sweaty, I get nervous to talk to you sometimes and it's because of this feeling. All this time in the glade, being the smartest one and all, I thought I would be able to understand what it is, but I can't." I looked up at Newt, he scooted closer to me, making my heart beat even faster, my palms sweatier as my nerves sky-rocketed.
     "You shuck," Newt replied, his eyes sparkled like the night sky. "You're bloody in love you slinthead." He laughed as his hand reached forward to brush a strand of hair off my face. He pushed it behind my ear and his hand found a way to my cheek. His touch was electrifying, I couldn't even say anything, i was speechless. In that moment, all I knew was that I wanted to sit under the blanket of stars, with him. I wanted to be with Newt for as long as I could and more than anything, I wanted this moment to last a lifetime.
