Newt comes to terms with his feelings. Years go by, Theseus and (Y/N) part ways. Leta enters the picture and Paris seems to be calling them.


━•✦.✧. Warnings .✧.✦•━━


* Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald spoilers!

* Another Hamilton reference~! (It's small, but you'll catch it)

* LETA REDEMPTION (Because all we really need is to talk things out like adults.)

* I had to make up some wizard version of "distance bracelets"

* In this house, we stan healthy mutual breakups. None of that over-dramatized stuff. (Although those types of breakups are usually the norm)

* ANGST ( I think )

mentions of alcohol and using alcohol as a coping mechanism (it's not descriptive, it's just one sentence, but I'm putting the warning anyway)

* mentions of an anxiety attack

* LOTS of time skips (I do apologize, this chapter takes place during 1921/1922 to 1927)

* Victoria said Bisexual rights~

"Just know that before Theseus... It was always you."

(Y/N)'s last words echoed in his head for quite a while. What did she mean "It was always you"?

"It's not like I liked her or anything." He mumbled to the Bowtruckle resting on his shoulder.

Pickett chirped as if to say "Yes you do!"

Newt scoffed. "It's not like I like the way her eyes light up like stars when she's excited! O-Or the way she plays with the ends of her sleeve when she's nervous! Or how I know she likes milk and honey in her tea..." He sighed and leaned against the wall of the shed.

"I don't like her... I don't wonder what it'd be like to wrap my arms around her when I finally kiss her. I don't wonder what it'd be like to hold her hand and walk the town. And I don't wonder what life would be like for us if I told her that I..." Newt ran his hand through his hair. "No... I don't like her..."

He looked at Pickett, "I love her..."

The Bowtruckle nodded.

"But she's with Theseus now... And if he makes her happy... Then I'm happy for both of them."

It took a while for Newt to come to terms with his feelings. A year to be exact. He had his research and creatures to keep him busy. Though it didn't help when his mind would wander to thoughts of (Y/N).

He had to face his feelings like a grown-up. Newt finally wrote her a letter, apologizing for his behavior on that day. To his surprise, she wrote back.

My Dearest, Newton

It's been so long, but there was never a day where I'd hope and wait for one of your letters. I would've waited for as long as it took- forever even. Now, I would've written to you first, but that would've rushed things on your end and I didn't want that. I wanted to give you time. Merlin knows how stubborn you can be.
