It had been weeks since the last time you and Newt had done anything remotely romantic. You understood he was busy writing his new book and tending to his creatures, but lately, you felt rather forgotten. He barely spoke to you in-between writing, taking care of the creatures and getting supplies. Most days you either wandered around wherever you were in your journey and poke around in little shops.

Your current location was somewhere in Hungary. It was a rather rainy day and you decided to stay within your room at the Inn you and Newt were currently residing. He was busy down in his case, doing God knows what. Probably re-writing that page about Hungarian Horn Tails for the fiftieth time.

Sighing, you looked out the window at the pouring rain. You noticed a couple huddled under an umbrella running to find shelter. They laughed as they ran arm in arm towards the closet building finally making their way inside and disappearing.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon and you'd only seen Newt once; while we was brushing his teeth before heading down in to the case. Fidgeting with your bracelet, you started to wonder why he seemed so distant these past weeks. Had you done something wrong? Were you not doing enough? Had he finally become bored with you? You just couldn't seem to figure it out.

You were torn away from your thoughts when you felt your stomach rumble. You wondered what you should eat and decided to head down in to the case to ask Newt if he had any preferences on dinner.

Gently, you unlatched the case and made your way down the ladder. Gracefully landing on the floor inside his hut, you saw him at his work table. He was filling a bucket with pellets which you knew to be the food for the Mooncalves. He hadn't even flinched or turned to look at you when you entered.

You waited a moment, seeing if he'd notice you...

"Newt?" You realized he wouldn't and just decided to announce your presence. "Newt?" You repeated.

"Oh, Y/N... you need something?Hey, could you hand me that towel over there?" Holding the bucket in one hand, he reached out with his other as you handed him the towel.

"I was getting hungry and was wondering if you'd like to maybe take a break and go get some food?"

Newt was wiping up his mess with the towel and already seemed to have forgotten your presence.

"Newt!" You raised your voice at the wizard and he whipped his head around.

"What!? I'm busy!"

Your blood was beginning to boil. Arms crossed, brows furrowed, you huffed loudly and closed your eyes, trying to hold back your tears of frustration. Finally, after waiting a few seconds, you calmly replied.

"You're always busy."

Newt gave you a confused look. "Well, I'm kind of writing a book..."

"I know that," You retorted. "I just thought that maybe you'd like a break and spend some time with me since all you seem to do is stay in this stupid case all day caring more about your book and your creatures than you do me!"

His eyes went from slightly irritated to completely glowing with anger. "Excuse me? Did you say stupid?"

You immediately regretted your choice of words. You realized you had really upset him. Part of you didn't seem to care. He deserved it.
