~Newt's POV~

I am a guardian angel. Everything my human does, everywhere my human goes, I always witness them. You see, I am in charge of everything good that my human does.

Okay. Human is a bit inappropriate. I am Thomas Edison's guardian. Yes. That's better.

"Awe. Cute little tommy!" I kissed the chubby, rosy cheeks of little tommy(yes, I call him Tommy). I have been Tommy's guardian angel since he was at the age of 8. And as the years come and go, I have witnessed every step of his progress in life.
Yes. I know you may think that I'm old. But, you see, Angels dont age like humans do. I usually dont call it being immortal too because we still die... let's not talk about that.

Now, Tommy, at the age of 16, has been living a bit... well, not so good. He has lots of problems in school, friends, family. And the worst part is that even I can't do anything to help him. Guardian angels are just like a human's conscience. We tell them what is right and wrong. But note, Humans are the ones who choose their own path.

Throughout the years of taking care of my handsome, little Tommy, I couldn't help but to fall in love with him. Not like a friendly love, Not like a parents love too, but a lover's love. It has been hard to keep my feelings especially whenever I get to meet other angels. But it's really hard because I know that there is punishment when you fall in love with your human. That punishment may break an angel's dignity, soul, life. An angel may be prisoned till his human dies in any way possible(a bit harsh but true), or your wing can also be removed from you and you would live as a fallen, a normal human. And I know that it wouldn't be long before they find my blossoming love for Thomas.

Thomas was taking a walk down the park when he heard a child's cry. He turned to see where the loud sobs came from and noticed it was from a little girl.

Having second thoughts of helping the kid, Thomas stared at the girl for a while.

"Why don't you help him, Tommy?" Newt whispered on Thomas' ear as he hovered in the air.

As if He heard Newt, he began walking towards the kid and kneeled down in front of the girl.
"Hey there, little girl. You lost?" The girl, still crying, still couldn't bring out to talk, just nodded. Thomas reached down to his pocket and pulled out a candy, afterwards, gave it to the girl. The girl, at first, was hesitant, but afterwards, took the candy. This made The girl smile a bit. "What's your name, kid?"

"S-Stacey." she said rather quietly that Thomas almost couldn't hear.

"Well, Stacy," Thomas stood up. "Would it be fine if I'd help you find your parents?"

The little girl smiled widely this time and nods happily. Thomas smiled back as he ruffled the kid's blonde hair.

~Forward~

After walking around the park, looking for Stacey's parents, they spotted them near a tree where they were talking to a police.

Thomas felt his heart lift up a bit as he witnessed a beautiful scene of a child crying as she found her parents. He felt happy because he have done something simple but turned out to be something special to the child and her parents. He was happy because he brings joy to others.
Sigh. If only he could help himself. He was all alone in this world.

Newt watched at a distance as he wiped a tear from his cheeks. It was something you dont see everyday. Pure happiness. But as Newt turned to look at Thomas, it almost broke his heart. Sadness was visible in Tommy's eyes. weariness of life like everyone was against that person he loved.

Newt spread his golden wings and flew towards Thomas, hugging him lightly. As if Thomas knew he was being hugged, smiled at the feeling. And this comforted both Newt and Thomas.
