Those Days [Newtina]

Chapter 36: Revelio

ALRIGHT GUYS HERE WE GO HERE WE GO

Just when you thought it couldn't get fluffier... IT DID. I present... THE FLUFFIEST NEWTINA CHAPTER IN THOSE DAYS!!

lol im sorry

Newt awoke bleary-eyed later. It was still dark outside, so it couldn't have been more than a couple hours.

He felt something shift near his left shoulder and turned his head slightly. Newt opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Tina was curled on her side, her head resting in the crook of his neck. She was loosely holding her wand in one hand, and clutching the fabric of his white shirt in the other. Newt then realised that his own left arm was around her shoulder, hugging her close.

His eyes widened.

How in Merlin's name did this happen?

Newt's gaze slid lower. Lower.

It rested on Tina's watch, still clasped around her wrist. 3:27am.

No wonder we fell asleep. It's only been a few hours...

Newt looked back at Tina.

There was an air of peacefulness about her, like a layer of serenity etched into her features. Newt could tell that she was happy, so he left her there. And didn't go back to sleep.

After a couple minutes, it dawned on Newt that Queenie would probably be wondering where in Merlin's name her sister had disappeared to if she woke up.

Groaning softly to himself, Newt withdrew his arm from around her and reached for his own wand from his pocket. Very slowly, he stood up, trying not to disturb Tina. Her eyes flickered, but thankfully stayed closed.

He sighed, then stood uncertainly before her. Was he really going to do this?

Newt decided that he had no other option if he didn't want to receive hell from Queenie.

Carefully, he placed his wand into the holder of his pants and tentatively slipped his arms around her: one behind her back and one under her legs. Newt gently lifted Tina off the couch, praying that she wasn't awake. As he was turning, he saw the empty mugs and wondered if he should put them away.

The tea mugs were left on the table- they'd take care of them later. And the empty bottle of champagne.

Newt took a deep breath and carried Tina bridal-style down the dark corridor, his cat-soft feet padding quietly on the carpet. Her short brown hair tickled his neck, but he didn't care. All that mattered right now was him and Tina and the small mercy that she was asleep.

He reached her bedroom door too fast for his liking, but gently nudged it open with his foot. The room was pitch black. The only light source in the room was the moonlight rays streaming through the window. Queenie was turned on her side in her bed, facing the window in a deep, peaceful sleep.

He shuffled over to Tina's bed, just by the door, and ever so carefully lay her down after pulling back the sheets.

Silvery moonlight spilled onto her bed, illuminating her calm expression. Newt couldn't stop staring.

She's so beautiful.

She looks so peaceful.

She's perfect.

He knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He didn't want to.

Slowly, Newt bent down and brushed away a stray wisp of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. Just like he did almost exactly a year ago.

Pulling back, he stood up and only looked back once before padding out the door.

He almost made it, too.

A soft rustling of sheets made Newt stop cold. He nervously looked back to find Tina sitting up in her bed, staring straight back at him.

A beat. Neither of them spoke.

"Tina."

Her expression remained blank.

"You're awake?"

Then she broke into a soft smile.

"I was awake the whole time."

That was Newt's cue to turn red.

She'd seen everything.

She'd felt everything.

She'd felt him wrap his arms around her, carry her to her bed-

Newt looked away.

Tina spoke up again, sensing that she'd dented his courage.

"Goodnight."

A ghost of a smile. He somehow found the courage to meet her eyes, those beautiful brown eyes.

"Goodnight, Tina."

That night, Newt fell onto hisbed with a smile that could light up the world.

Okay, last chapter for today. I couldn't help myself, okay? It's too fluffy not to publish!

Okay, it's called Revelio, because it was revealed that Tina was awake the whole time... sNEAkY LiTtLe fOx ;) lol

Another issue I'd like to address... I'm still not doing kissing scenes. By this I mean in detail, like- YEAH Y'KNOW I'M NOT GOING ANY FURTHER THAN THAT. I've had a couple questions like "Still no kissing?" or "Will they kiss" or stuff like that. I'm writing it now... not in this fanfiction. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it is my first time, and I'm still not sure of what I'm doing, so... maybe in another one? Sorry, guys.

I WILL SAY... that in my next book I might have a kiss... ;)

BUT FOR NOW, ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL NEWTINA and just because this is the fluffiest chapter, doesn't mean it's the last fluffy chapter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
