Fireflies • Newt Scamander x Reader

Nine

"Sorry, so sorry!" Newt apologized as he ran pushing people past as he held onto (Name)'s hand tightly with one hand, and his case with the other. "You have a lot of explaining to do!" The girl yelled before she had yelped, almost tumbling to the ground if it were not for Newt holding onto her. Newt had stopped running to tug (Name) up before she fell, her body hitting against his. A small blush managed to creep on her face as she had looked up at Newt. All she wanted was answers from Newt, but whenever she had managed to look into his eyes she felt a deja vu falter in her heart.

"Please, watch where you're walking d- (Name)." Newt said in a calm and sweet tone. It was like she had lost all sense to where she was and what she was doing. "Okay." She had agreed while walking once again, still hand in hand with Newt. Her mind was left behind as all she did was look ahead. The deja vu that she encountered earlier had completely left her in a daze. She didn't know what had even triggered it, but she was completely and utterly lost in her own head.

"Where is a really hot place, like a desert?" Newt asked, stopping directly next to a wealthy man's car. He turned to look at (Name), his eyes looking as if they were filled with panic and a mix of curiosity. (Name)'s eyes fell to the ground as she had furrowed her brows in thought. Many hot places came to mind, such as the beach where the case had in fact opened. But, she decided a more desert like area. "The Bronx zoo?" She said in more of a question than an answer.

Newt stared at her a bit blankly in no knowledge of to what she was speaking of. "Sure." He said rather monotone while he had let (Name) step ahead of him and begin leading the both of them. He followed closely, almost too close for two friends. But, of course, Newt would never forget the feeling that he had and still has for the girl. She was slouching just as she always had. She never held herself up, and that was one of her little quirks that made a smile pop onto Newt's face.

"Hurry up, we're almost there." The girl had called out as she weaved between people to a line full of families and couples waiting to enter the zoo. Newt looked the line over and his face had rather instantly paled. The line stretched far, and they were only at the end. "Do you have a map?" Newt had asked a woman ahead of them who had her hand wrapped around her sobbing sons wrist. "Yes, I do." She said as she handed the map over to Newt without a single question. The boy's wailing had only increased as he tried breaking away from his mother.

(Name) glanced over at Newt as he had tried making sense of the map. She sighed and crouched down before the boy, looking him into his narrowed and tear filled eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked the boy, and he had turned and pointed to a candy cart a bit down the street as he continued wailing. (Name) stood up and shoved her hand into her pocket, pulling two bills out of it and handing it to the mother. The mother had hesitantly taken the money and stared at it blankly before looking to (Name). A smile spread on her creased face.

"Bless you." She said softly, and began walking out of the line with the small boy. Newt had shifted his eyes away from the map to watch (Name) as she had done this. A smile twitched at the corners of his lips before he had folded the map and set it inside his pocket. "That was rather kind of you." He said while that smile remained on his face. She had turned to him and shrugged before Newt took her hand into his, and like that he and the girl had disapperated out of the line and into the desert exhibit.

Though Newt did expect a mess, he did not expect such a big one.
