Newtina One Shots

#17

Newts P.O.V

I sighed, looking at the small velvet box in my hands. The delicate ring I had chosen for Tina sat inside it. It was a silver band that seemed to lace up to the small, but elegant diamond at the top.

Yes it seemed very much like Tina's style, but o still doubted. What if she hated it? Or didn't want to marry me?

These thoughts had kept me up the last few nights, and I didn't know how much more I could take of this torture.

Tonight. Tonight I'll do it, I thought to myself. And if she says no I will never have to see her again. Except in my dreams and memories which would haunt me for the rest of my lonely life.

I shoved the box into my coat pocket, I noticed the fire started dimming. I quickly used magic to revive it, this had been one of the coldest winters England had, had.

I stood up from the sofa in one of the living rooms of my house. The money I had earned from my book allowed me to buy it. It was big, but not to extravagant. I liked it.

"Newt?" I heard the familiar voice of Queenie call. "In here." I responded."

She walked in shortly after, "Hey, I can hear your thoughts from across the house." She said, I blushed "Oh. So sorry I'll stop thinking."

I furrowed my brow at my sentence and Queenie giggled. "You don't have to be so nervous, Tina will be thrilled to become your wife."

This made my cheeks become even redder, "Ah well, I'm sure there are plenty of other suitable-"

She stopped me in the middle of my sentence. "Nope don't you dare say that. You are perfect for Tina," she said.

I sighed, "Shes perfect to me."

Queenie smiled, "so... go get her."

I laughed, "Yeah sure you say that like she's mine well she's not."  I sat back down feeling defeated, Queenie let out a frustrated sigh.

"You're so difficult, you know what? You're going to take her fishing and pop the question tonight." She said confidently,

I jumped up again "No that's a terrible idea!" I exclaimed, "What the fishing? I just thought it was something you would do."

"No not the fishing, the marriage idea." I said thinking of all the worst possibilities that could happen if I asked Tina to be my wife... which sounded like such a lovely idea in my head. Oh Tina how I wish you were mine. I thought,

Queenie just giggled, "she thinks the same way now go and ask her."

"Yeah you're right." I said a wave of confidence washing over me. I stood up yet again and ran down the hallway.

Right smack into tina.....

"Ouch!" She yelped as we both crashed to the floor.

"Tina, I am so sorry I should have been watching We're I was going!" I said flushing red and helping her up.

"It's alright Newt." She said chuckling and brushing off her clothes, "I had just come looking for you."

"Really..?" I asked hopefully, "Me too, I was hoping you would accompany me to the lake."

She smiled, "it's freezing isn't it?"

My heart dropped, "oh right of course silly idea..."

"But an adventure all the same of course I'll come." She said happily

"Oh right," I said perking up again, let me grab my coat and a few things and I'll take you to my favorite spot." I said dashing back to my room to collect my coat and fishing rod.

When I returned Tina was already bundled up, "ready?" I asked. She nodded and opened the front door letting the brisk air in.

We walked in a comfortable silence to the back of the woods were the lake was, it was partly frozen over but still had enough open water to fish in.

"We're going to catch gulping plimpies." I informed.

She smiled and sat in the snow, "fun I can't wait."

As we sat together I couldn't help but feel nervous about when I should pop the question. "Uh- Tina.." I started my voice shaking a bit.

"Yes Newt?"

But before I could say any of my feelings my fishing line started to tug which startled both of us.

"Newt you caught something!" She exclaimed standing up excitedly.

"Uh Uh yeah I did!" I replied finally registering what was happening. I started to reel in the line only to reveal I had caught some drift wood instead.

Disappointed I said "that's alright it was getting a bit cold anyways would you like to go back in?"

She nodded rubbing her hands together to warm them as I gathered my things.

She took my hand as we walked back to the house, I felt her lean her head against my shoulder which made me happy inside. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad I thought.

Queenie was already waiting for us, she took our coats for us and said there was some snacks and drinks waiting for us in the sitting room in front of the fireplace.

We thanked her and went there to warm up.

I couldn't help but notice how beautiful Tina looked in the fire light. "Newt?" She asked

"Hmm?"

"You're staring at me."

I flushed, "oh so sorry." I said looking down.

She smiled, "it's alright I don't mind, but you seem deep in thought what's up?"

This was it, this was my chance it's now or never, "well the thing is... I think you're stunning."

She blushed, "What?"

"You're amazing Tina, funny, supportive, brilliant, and beautiful and I'm so grateful to have met you."

She looked down, "oh Newt I don't know what to say, I feel the same things about you, you're so kind and loving to me."

I put my hand in my pocket fiddling with the ring, "Well I can't imagine anyone thinking those things about me, but I can try to be more that way for you, I would do anything for you I love you deeply and you're the dearest person to me." I said my nervousness leaving as my true feelings came out.

"And I Well, here I am." I said getting on my knee, "Tina help a poor man out by doing him the honor of becoming his wife?" I asked holding the ring out.

She beamed her eyes watering, "Of course Newt!" She exclaimed hugging me tightly, "I love you so much."

I laughed and hugged her back, slipping the ring on her finger. "Oh you don't know how worried I was about this."

She laughed, "I would have said yes at any moment."

Suddenly we heard clapping from the door frame, Jacob and Queenie were standing there looking extremely happy for us. "Congrats!" They both exclaimed.

Tina and I smiled at them and then back at each other. "Tina..." I started, "I don't want to force you, but with my book and everything there's really not an opportunity for me to leave England. Would you be okay with staying here with me?" I asked softly

She put her hand on mine, "Newt... what about my job?" She asked

"I know I know..." I figured she would say something like this, "Its just so hard to be away from you, it's like a part of me is missing and I can't bare the distance between us anymore."

She smiled and kissed me, and oh it felt so good. The burning sensation of love between us. But it ended far to quickly.
I
"Yes, I will stay with you." She finally said

I sighed gratefully this wonderful girl that I had been in love with for years, was finally mine.
