It was dark rainy night in New York City, Tina Goldstein was rushing home from the MCUSA, after hearing Newt was finally able to come and visit. She nearly tripped over herself of how anxious she felt to see him again in almost four months, but as she reached her apartment she took a minute to realize how she's acting, "heh, we aren't even dating so why am I?'" she laughed to herself, but a memory flashed in her mind, 'the time I said goodbye to him,' her cheeks felt hot as she touched the same spot he touched her. She had to act normal, and hesitantly walked in.

(I apologize for my horrible attempt at a New York accent)

Shaking off all the raindrops off her coat, she could hear laughter from the other room, it was Queenie and Jacob, "Queenie!" Tina shouted and out came the two still giggling, "Oh Tina! I should've told ya sooner that Jacob and I are goinn' out for dinn'a" Queenie explained grabbing an umbrella, 'I thought Newt was here...' Tina thought in disappointment, Queenie heard, "Oh he is here, he's got a wicked cold, Ohh!" Queenie exaggerated, Tina stepped "Where-" "He's in the suitcase hun, sleeping. But, I think the guest beds are mora comfy," Queenie smiled with a wink, and the two walked off.

Tina stood in silence, she could see through Queenie and Jacob, just so she can be alone with Newt. Well, might as well go check on him if she's gonna be alone with him. She made her way to the case, and safely moved it to the guest room, "Alright," Tina rolled up her selves and made her way inside the case, immediately she was greeted by many creatures she meet before and some new ones, she giggled. "Now where are you Newt?" She looked around, she spotted him on top a pile of hay, she got closer, and she saw that he was panting and covered in sweat. Tina isn't very strong but with all her strength she put his arm around her and started up the stairs, making sure no creature got out.

Carefully placing him on the bed she thought how exactly she was to make more comfortable, she had an idea but she had to close her eyes. Grabbing her wand and a simple flick Newt's close were coming off and some spare male pajamas covered him, all while Tina with her red faced was being shelled by her hand, 'how awkward!' she blushed 'but if he's asleep and I'm by myself, I guess a little peek couldn't-' as she peeked he was already clothed, 'of course' she bitterly thought. But the good thing was that he could finally sleep in comfort now, Tina walked closer to Newt to check his temperature, his head was burning hot.

Tina came back from the kitchen with a bowl of cold water and ice with a rag; Tina sat on a short chair by the bed; slowly grabbing the wet rag she softly dabbed it gently on his face, as she did she could see a faint smile on his face, "Dose it feel good?" she asked relived, she left the cold towel on his forehead till it lost it's cool feeling, and repeated several times.

Some time passed and hadn't realized she fell asleep for awhile, she woke up from a pleasant dream; she and Newt were by the sea side looking out to the sunset holding each others hands, it was a nice dream but she knew it was only a dream. Tina softly laughed to herself as she heard Newt muttering something, "Newt?" Tina sat up listening carefully "Le-ta~" he muttered in a way as if he were reaching for her, Tina gave a sad look "so that woman still as a special place in your heart, doesn't she Newt?" sadly spoken, but as she was going to give in to saddness "Ti...na....stay...." 'what?' "I...need.....you~" a single tear fell, it felt bittersweet. Tina whipped the tear and let out a sigh, "Oh Newt Scamander, how did a wonderfully handsome man need a bland awkward girl like me?" Tina brushed hair away from her face.

"I'm pretty sure you had a many friends while you were in school at Hogwarts, not like me." Tina speaking sadly, she grabbed the rag and soaked it then ringed it out before placing it back on his head, "Back in Ilvermorny, I had a specific academic mindset, so I didn't see the need in having any friends." Tina looked over to a picture of her and Queenie's graduation photo and glanced back a Newt who was still sleeping, "As you can expect, Queenie made friends easier than I did, to be honest I was kinda jealous, of course my beautiful, social little sister was more liked than I, I turned away from any form of friendship." She brushed a few stands of hair away from Newt's face, "I mean until I meet you, Mr. Scamander," she continued "Not much people liked me, not that I wanted people to like me," a pause. "Porpentina means porcupine, I'll hurt you if get close and you'll never want to get close ever again." Tina lowered her head, "But that doesn't mean I can't love. The people I love have left me, yet no matter how hard I try not to love you Newt, the more I don't want to let you go."
