Newt x reader

Chapter Twenty-Four

Newt takes you to his car, not letting go of your hand the whole way, and you feel all giddy and happy inside, and you smile, for real. You don't do that very often, so this is a pleasant change as he even opens the car door for you, you just keep smiling, you can't stop.

You buckle yourself into the car as he gets in beside you and starts the car, he seems about as nervous as you are, and that's saying a lot. Because even though you're super happy, it doesn't seem to help the fact that you've nearly chewed the inside of your cheek to shreds, and you avoid eye contact, hating yourself the whole time. You can't even look him in the eyes. Ugh.

"Where do you want to go, (y/n)?" He asks you, and you force yourself to make eye contact with him.

"I don't care," You stutter out in a whisper. You pretty much just suck at situations that involve people. 

"Ummmmm," He names an ice cream place nearby and you smile. You haven't really had ice cream in a while since you're father isn't very consistent about buying food, or good food for that matter. You nod, biting your lip and smiling. At the sight of your smile he grins and starts to drive away.

He makes small talk the whole time in the car on the way, and you try to keep the topic off of you, since you don't really want to lie to him. And he answers all your questions, but keeps asking you about yourself. It's an adorable gesture, and you feel giddy considering no one's ever cared enough to ask about you, but you feel really bad giving vague answers, so you keep asking questions, trying to keep him busy.

Sooner or later the car ride ends as he pulls into the ice cream place, and you grin as he sweetly opens the car door for you, and even extends his hand to help you out of the car. You grin as he continues to act like a gentleman all the time, opening the doors for you and everything.

This is definitely some happiness.
