Fireflies • Newt Scamander x Reader

Six

Newt and (Name) tumbled to the ground with grunts. Newt had managed to stabilize himself with his case before wincing. The impact of the fall had left him breathless, and he had roughly hit his arm on what had to be a patch of rocks. You'd think that he would have picked a better stop to land at instead of what looked like a rocky seashore, but Newt swore to himself that was the best he could do. "(Name)?" He whispered, looking around for the girl. He could not spot the (Colored) haired girl in the darkness. His heart began racing. Had he lost her yet again?

He had scrambled to get up, small pebbles and sand erupting from around his figure. "(NAME)?" He felt something roughly tug his case away from him. There stood the girl. He had took a sigh of relief before looking at the sky as to calm himself. Fireflies flew above head. Oh, how it felt perfect. "Hey, creep!" A voice called out, echoing faintly in the open space. Newt's head shot away from the sky and to (Name), his face instantly paling. She was ankle deep into the water with the case above her head, threatening to throw it in.

"How did you know my name?!" She asked, narrowing her eyes to slits as she stared at Newt. His heart was in his throat as his eyes stayed on the case. "Sweetheart, please put down the case-" He began, but (Name) had growled slightly before looking away from the British man. "Don't call me that!" She shot and turned her eyes back to Newt. He swallowed nervously and put up his hands as to show he was not going to hurt her.

"Please, put the case down..." He said, his voice shaky while he took slow cautious steps. (Name) could see the urgency and panic on his face, instantly looking the case over. There was nothing special about it, really. It was just an old case that was battered down with age. She turned back to Newt and quickly lowered it to the water, just close enough so it did not dare touch the surface of the water.  Newt had practically fallen over at the sight of his case being held so roughly. "Please! Don't shake it!" He had said with his voice stuttering on almost every other vowel. (Name) narrowed her eyes.

"Then you better EXPLAIN!" She yelled, earning a sigh from Newt. He was going to leap forward for his case, but that's exactly when it hit him. He knew (Name), and she would never ever throw something into the ocean that was not hers. At least, he hoped that much. "It's going to sound insane." Newt had warned, his hands raised to waist height with his eyebrows raised. The girl scoffed before raising her own brows. "Enlighten me, baby." She said in a mocking way while she twirled his case around her hand.

Newt's heart was racing out of his chest. He had his eyes wide as he watched the case as closely as he could. "Hurry up." (Name) had threatened, shaking the case above the water. One latch had popped open. Both of their heads had shot to the sound. Newt was slowly walking over. "I need my case." Newt said slowly in a tone sounding quite similar to a whisper. (Name) shook her head and pulled the case farther away from Newt. "Explain!" She yelled, and that was when it happened.

The second latch flipped open.
