Case Full of Fics [Newt/Theseus x Reader]

I Do Care [1] - N

Hey guys!! So this is my first time writing a Newt x Reader fanfic. This entire book is going to be filled with various mini series and one shots and stuff like that so I hope you enjoy. I hope to fill it up with all of my ideas soon! I just really love Newt so much! Anyway, let me know what you guys think of this! There is for sure going to be another part, maybe more it just depends. But let me know how this was! Hope you guys enjoy!! I listened to the 12th track on the Fantastic Beasts ost. :)

You sat in front of the fireplace, looking up at the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, which smiled down at you. The Hufflepuff common room would normally have a much more cheerful atmosphere but the windows which normally brought in the warm sunlight were covered in droplets of water. The rain had been unrelenting all day which is why everyone was in their dormitories instead, leaving you to sit there on your own. Most days you would've enjoyed the company your fellow housemates provided but you had a great deal of studying to do for Defence Against the Dark Arts. Professor Merrythought was a great teacher but sometimes you felt that she significantly overestimated your abilities.

You'd been sitting in the same spot for hours, laboriously reading over the book and finishing up the theoretical homework assignments that were given. You'd managed to finish those quite a while ago since they'd been able to keep you distracted and keep your mind off of what was going on. But now that you were reading over the assigned sections you found your mind wandering much more than you would have liked.

Of course you would be thinking about Newt and Leta at such a stressful time with all of your courses. You'd falsely convinced yourself it didn't bother you and that you were okay, but you were lying to yourself. It bothered you so much so that others had began to notice a change in your behavior. Patricia in particular had been very concerned about you and you were very thankful to know that she cared so much. But it's extremely difficult to function normally when it feels like your heart is constantly breaking.

You wiped a few stray tears that had managed to slip out. You knew your eyes were probably red at this point from all the reading and since you'd been wiping stray tears for quite some time now. Out of frustration you slammed your book shut, standing up and tossing it onto the table. You pushed one of the large chairs closer to the fire and sat down. Feeling yourself begin to shiver you quickly made your way up to your dormitory grabbing a warm pair of socks and the Hufflepuff scarf on your bed. Once you returned you made yourself comfortable on the chair all wrapped up and warm. At least, until you realized that the scarf you were wearing wasn't yours but Newt's. At that point you didn't even care, you just let the tears flow. After some time you fell asleep, the exhaustion overtaking you.

After making the taps on the barrel, Newt made his way into the common room. He was absolutely exhausted. Leta had insisted that they scour the Forbidden Forest even though the rain had been so heavy. He couldn't say no to the idea of encountering new creatures that he hadn't seen before, besides he'd finished all of the work he needed to get done for his classes. A soft smile graced his face as he saw your sleeping form in front of the fire. You'd been working extremely hard lately for all of your classes, especially DADA. Which reminded him that he'd promised to help you go over some things for it tomorrow. He'd been looking forward to it all week since the two of you didn't get to spend much time together this year. It was 6th year after all; classes were much tougher leaving no time for much anything else. Leta had been distracting him a bit the past few weeks with all of her little expeditions that he had to abruptly cancel plans with you often. He felt horrible for doing that to you but he knew you'd understand and he'd be sure to make it up to you soon. But, he couldn't just say no to Leta, she was his friend too, just like you. No... not like you, you were much more than a friend in Newt's eyes or at least that's what he wished. At just the thought of that he could feel his cheeks begin to heat up.
