Surprise, surprise guys! Somehow I wrote another one! It's pretty much a modern AU, so no magic or Hogwarts. I feel like I had plan for it going one way but it went another. Super fluffy tho! Idk... let me know what you think!
You didn't know how much more of it you could take, your eyes desperately fluttering around from the table to the faces seated around you.
You'd given up really following what the conversation was about a long while back. A small part of you felt guilty for it, but you couldn't cope otherwise.
Tonight was meant to be a good night. A great night even. Leading up to it you'd been happy and excited to see all of your friends and spend some time together. Everyone was so busy with their lives that spending time together had gotten a bit difficult.
Newt was busy with his animal conservation research internship and spending time with Tina, who herself was busy with her own internship while she applied for law school. Queenie and Jacob were always in their own little world together. Jacob spent most of his time working at his family bakery and when Queenie wasn't drowning in psychology homework she spent most of her time there too. Leta was busy with her senior thesis and doing her best to avoid her father as often as possible.
You were startled out of your thoughts as you heard a boisterous laugh right next to you. You looked over at the person you'd been most excited to spend time with.
Theseus had been the one to suggest this get together, wanting an escape from his first year of law school. He seemed to notice your stare and gave you a quick smile before launching back into whatever debate he and Tina were having.
Now that you were back in the present moment all of the overwhelming feelings came rushing back. There was so much to do, so much to think about. Your graduate school entrance exam, filling out job applications for the mean time, getting letters of recommendation, filling out graduate school applications, getting more volunteer experience, exercising, eating healthy, worrying about your feelings for Theseus...
Your eyes stung as you did your best to blink away the tears before they fell. It was kind of pathetic wasn't it? You were surrounded by your best friends, all of which were having a good time, and you couldn't get out of your own head. You wrung you're hands as your thoughts seemed to continue jumbling together.
"You alright (Y/N)?" Queenie spoke softly from your left. An expression of sincerity on her face as she looked back at you.
"Y-yeah," you swallowed the lump in your throat, "I'm fine Queenie."
You gave her a weak smile that you knew she instantly saw through.
"Well I gotta head to the ladies' room, why don't you come with me?" She stood up, extending a hand to you.

You stood leaning against the wall, watching yourself in the mirror as Queenie washed her hands. She turned around and grabbed a few paper towels to dry her hands, her eyes sweeping over you, calculating. Tossing the paper towels in the trash she put a comforting hand on you arm.
"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"
"It's nothing, I'm fine Queenie," you responded, trying to reassure her.
You spoke before she had the chance to respond, "I know your amazingly accurate, but please do not psychoanalyze me right now."
"Hey," Queenie snacked your arm playfully, "I do not psychoanalyze you guys..."
You raised your eyebrows at her.
"Okay... maybe I do sometimes..." she paused, "You're sure?"
"I'm sure," you made sure to give her your biggest smile. Truthfully, coming to the restroom had made you feel a bit better.
