“You boys are lucky I was there to save your behinds.” You stated, making your way down inside Newt’s case.
Newt and Jacob had tried to catch the Arumpemt, failing before you had stepped in before all hell broke loose at the MACUSA. Queenie, being a Legilimens, overheard your thoughts and had saved you, Newt, the Muggle and her sister.
“You should’ve just asked for my help in the first place, Fido. You know she loves me because I’m a woman.” You teased your best friend Newt about the Arumpemt.
“She’s not the only one.” Newt mumbled under his breath, getting the creatures’ feed prepared.
“Huh?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Newt said quickly, shaking his head. “I see you and Queenie are getting on famously.”
“Yeah, so?” You bent over to pick up a bag of feed.
“She’s nice. Sweet. Good for you.” He muttered the last part.
“I suppose. Yeah, she’s very sweet. And kind and… beautiful.” You trailed off thinking off the blonde Legilimens before snapping out of your thoughts. “She’s a good friend.”
Newt gave you that oh-so-familiar sad smile like he knew something you didn’t. It drove you nuts.
“Don’t give me that look.”
Newt shot you a confused look.
“That look like you pity me or something. There’s nothing to be pitied.”
Newt sighed, placing the bag of feed down. “(Y/N), you- you’re not happy.”
Now you were confused. “Of course I am. I’m happy here with you, like old times.”
He ran a hand through his hair, walking towards you. “I know - and I’m happy here with you too - but it’s like… Like you have a chip on your shoulder. Like you keep putting something off, putting yourself in denial.”
Tears pricked your eyes and deep down you knew why. “I’m not- I’m not in denial.”
Newt rested his forehead against yours, sighing. “(Y/N), you’re my best friend. I just want you to be happy. It’s okay.”
Your tears spilled over and your breath caught in your throat. Newt pulled you into a hug, his arms tightening around you.
“It’s not… Me. It can’t be.” You cried into his shirt.
Your best friend smoothed your hair with his hand as he held you. “Nothing that’s a part of you is bad, remember that (Y/N). It’s not wrong, it’s who you are.”
“Aw, you two are such cute friends.” Queenie’s voice broke the silence.
You and Newt broke apart at the sound of the two sisters descending into the case and you wiped your tears from your face.
Queenie looked at you, her eyes soft but sad.
Tina opened her mouth so speak before being cut off by Frank’s thunderous calls.
Newt whipped around, eyeing his creature. “Danger.”

After revealing Grindelwald, you sat on the platform as Newt healed your shoulder wound. The dark wizard had managed to free his wand to aim at Newt before you stepped in front of him.
“(Y/N), I’m so sorry-”
“Newtie, it’s not your fault. You would have done the same for me, it’s okay.” You cut your best friend off as he helped you stand up.
“(Y/N)! Oh, I’m so glad you’re alright.” You turned at the sound of Queenie’s voice before being enveloped by shades of pink. Instinctively, you wrapped your arms tight around the blonde witch.
“I thought I’d lost you.” Her silvery voice whispered in your ear, close to tears.
“I’m not going anywhere.” You buried your face in Queenie’s curls, her perfume filling your nose.
‘This feels right.’ You thought before Queenie pulled away to let Jacob hug you.
After years and years of denying that part of yourself, years of living in denial, you knew now that you couldn’t deny it any longer. After years of Newt subtly trying to reassure you that it was okay. It was okay. It was who you are and that wasn’t wrong.
Licking your lips nervously, you glanced over at Queenie to find her green eyes already staring at you. Your heart pounded in your chest and you knew that you would probably never get the chance again once you boarded the boat back to Britain.
Swallowing, you walked briskly over to the beautiful blonde, cupping her face gently with your hands. Her light eyes brightened and you slowly brought your lips to hers.
You had kissed men before but those experiences had never felt like this. Kissing Queenie felt like coming home to warmth after all day in the rain. You felt a weight drop off your shoulders as you finally embraced that part of you.
You broke apart and Queenie looked at you, biting her lip to stop herself from smiling too much.
“I knew you’d realise it in your own time.” She brushed a hair from your face.
Newt looked at the pair of you, beaming with pride and happiness for his best friend.
