When an unforeseen attack from Grindelwald leaves Newt fighting for life, his five companions struggle to cope with the fact that they could lose him forever. Lines are sketched, love is tested, and everyone is drawn closer together...
At one point, Tina walked over to join him. Everyone filed out of the room, deciding that it was best to leave the two of them alone with Newt.
They stood there for what seemed like forever.
"Are you okay?" said Tina softly. Neither of them stopped watching Newt, as if he'd disappear into thin air if they took their eyes off him for even a second.
Theseus nodded, words failing him. He found his voice again in a couple minutes.
"Newt told me about you. As soon as he got back from New York."
Tina ducked her head slightly, and she couldn't stop the tiny smile that sneaked out, despite her efforts to remain solemn. Theseus noticed, and his mouth quirked to the side.
"It was a... pretty hectic situation we'd all been thrown into."
"Yeah... well I know a thing or two about hectic situations," he mused, nodding his head. Tina smiled again- just a little.
Another couple minutes of silence.
Tina found herself studying the filled-out form. It looked like it had been scribbled out in a hurry, and there were a few drops of water soaking through the corner. She did a double-take when she reached the Blood Loss section. She leaned forward to pick up the sheet. Theseus snapped his attention to her, frowning at the written details.
He saw it too.
"Sixty percent blood loss... that's a lot," he murmured, looking back at his brother. No wonder Newt looked so pale.
Tina must've been uncomfortable waiting there, because she shifted on her feet slightly, and Theseus took the hint that it was time to go. He slowly placed the form back onto the wooden table.
"Do you want to go find the others?" he said, still watching the form.
Tina picked it up as a polite request to give him some time with his brother and nodded, only casting one more look at Newt before striding through the grey door again.
Theseus knew he only had a minute, but he didn't rush it.
He dragged a soft chair from the bed next to Newt's and sank into it, watching his brother. As if he'd suddenly get up and strike a conversation with him. Theseus chuckled softly to himself.
No, his brother was in no state to get up, let alone talk to people.
Light footsteps sounded down the corridor, and he could hear muffled conversations outside the door. He had to leave. Theseus stood up and left the chair there- someone else could move it if it was needed. He started towards the door, then stopped halfway.
He turned back slowly, then walked to the bed again.
Theseus lifted his hand and gently stroked his little brother's hair, a tear escaping down his cheek.
More muffled voices sounded, and Theseus stood up again, giving Newt one last glance before shuffling out of the room and closing the door behind him with a quiet click.
Some nice brotherly fluff :)
Guess what??

Next chapter, I'll give a bit more orientation in this story (Where they are, details on Grindelwald's attack, etc). Also, I don't know the first thing about hospitals, so I'm doing a lot of research. There are literally 7 tabs open on my laptop on hospital procedures and things like that TwT
