Newt looked around him and let out a breath as he looked at the rain that poured out of the sky. Newt knows that he should be inside while it rained so he did not catch a cold. Well, that's what his mother told him anyway. Newt sighed and looked down to the road. "I should go back to Theseus," Newt said to himself as he walked out of the alleyway to find his brother who he thinks is back at the hospital. He knows that Theseus does not care for him to look for him because like he said: 'If he can't feed himself then he cant take care of him.' That line goes through Newt's head as he walked down the road in the rain. He knows that he was lost but he will find a way to get back to his brother. When he finds him, he should say sorry for saying everything that he had said to him. What if he does not want to take him back? what if he does not love him anymore after the things that he had said to him? Newt did not know and in the back of his mind he did not want to know but he wants to be with his brother. Maybe they can start over and be a family. A family that looks after each other. Newt sighed when the rain stops find, he stopped walking when he saw in front of him on the ground was someone.
"Theseus?" Newt whispered as he broke into an awkward run to the man in the road that looks like Theseus. He knows it's him, it has to be. "Thees!" Newt called in a broken quiet voice. Newt then got down on his knees to look at his brother. "Brother!?" Newt said nervously as he shook Theseus a little. "Theseus?" Newt said again as he kept shaking his older brother. He would call for help but he was too scared to. "Theseus?!" Newt called again as a muggle cop walked up to him, but Newt did not see nor hear him.
"Kid, lad?" the man asked Newt who was still shaking his brother. "Lad? Can you hear me?" Newt stayed quiet as he shook his older brother.
"Brother?" Newt said even louder than before. "Theseus!" Newt called with tears falling down his face as he stopped and let out a shaky breath. "Brother come back to me! I'm so sorry," Newt said quietly as he started to cry even more than he already was. "Please wake up brother. I need you. your all I have left," Newt said as he pulled his face to his knees not caring about the pain in his leg.
"Lad?" the man asked as he looked at the boy as he fell apart. At this point, Theseus began to stir.
"Brother? What…...What happened? Newton?" Newt blinked and smiled at his older brother.
"Theseus!" Newt cheered but he did not pull his older brother into his arms. Even though he really wanted to.
"Art? Thank Merlin. I'm so sorry," Theseus said as he sat up, but Newt did not look at him as he nodded with guilt forming inside.
"I…...I should be sorry brother. This is….um my fault. I should have not said those things to you," Newt said as he helped his brother to his feet while Theseus did the same thing.
"Newton," Theseus sighed as he ran a hand over his face and looked at the man. "Oh, hello. don't worry sir. We are fine. Now Newton lets talk when we get back home. I'm sure I might need to rest," Newt looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, rest," Newt muttered under his breath that made Theseus look at him with a sigh. he knew that Newt might still be mad at him for.
"Ok brother. Let's go home," Newt nodded after he brother said this and followed him back to the home that they have to live in now.
Newt was quiet when they got inside the house while Theseus was telling him why he did not eat. He was saying things like: 'It's because of the war and the house blowing up' "All I wanted to do Newton was look after you, not myself. I went too far. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Let's just go talk with Ed," Newt nodded when Theseus told him this.
"Are you going to tell him, everything brother?" Newt asked as they walked into the dining room to see Ed looking at him. Theseus knew that he was mad, not angry though, just mad.
"Where the hell have you two been?" Newt flinched at his tone, but he did not say anything as he sighed knowing that this kind man will hit him. He knows it and he will not blame him for it. Theseus raised his hands and sighed.
"I was looking for Newt. This is my fault," Newt looked sharply at his brother when he said this and realized that Theseus was doing the same thing that Newt did when right before he got kicked out of Hogwarts.
"Wait!" Newt said voice a little strong but not as strong as Theseus's. it was Theseus's turn to look sharply at his brother and sighed as he looked around him to see that the dog came into the room backing happily. Newt smiled at the dog before he let out a breath and said: "I ran away because I was scared. I was scared for my brother and I…I thought that I did not…not, um have any family left so….um, I rain. This," Newt waved his hands around and then put one of them on the dog's head with a small smile. "This is my home now, I don't what to live in…in this without Theseus," Theseus looked at his brother shocked. Never, never has Newt said anything like this out loud and right to his face before. However, Theseus was proud of his brother. No matter what happens, he will always be proud of him.
"Wow, ok then I guess I can't really be mad at you, but next time tell us if you want to hide somewhere alright?" Newt nodded as he moved his eyes to the ground away from everyone. "And Theseus," Theseus sighed cutting him off with his hand.
"I know, let's eat something and I drink. Now that would be nice. Something to drink," Newt rolled his eyes at this brother, but he laughed anyway.
"Alright. Something to drink coming up," Ed said with a mock bow making Newt giggle a little.
Newt was asleep a few hours later and Theseus was in the living room drinking away the day. He really should tell Ed everything nut, not at the moment. Maybe when he is ready, now might be the time though. Theseus let out a breath and took a sip from his mug when Ed came in the room with his son in his arms. "It's my night," he said when he walked in. Theseus smiled a little, but he let out a breath and his smile faded. "You know, you still need to tell me about what happened today," Theseus sighed knowing that he was pushing him, and Theseus might be ready, but he was scared to talk about it. This was rare of course, but he did not want to show it on his face as he slowly nodded.
"Your right. I should," Theseus took a deep breath and nodded taking another drink. "I fought in the war. You say when you come back to people that your fine but inside. Inside your really not. I cant tell Newt that. even though he knows. My father told me once that it's bad to be sad and hurting or even…. even smile at the nice things in your life. Newt really does not understand him and never thought about that, but me, well I think you can tell that I was the complete opposite from him," Theseus sighed again and took another drink. Ed had sat down while he listened to Theseus say these things. He then took this time of silence to study Theseus who looked worse when he had met him.
"You should not let those things get to you. Your father was wrong. It's ok sometimes to be ok. Your brother has the right idea," Theseus looked at him and sighed once again before he nodded.
"Sorry, I think your right. What do I do then?" Theseus asked after a second. Ed sighed but he did not say anything for a while as if he was thinking.
"Talking helps. I know that you think that it doesn't, but you will be surprised. If you need someone I'll be here. Now I think you need to get some sleep, its been a hard day," Theseus smiled at him as he stood up and nodded as he walked over to the door. Then he stopped and said:
"Thank you. I think everything will be just fine now. Newt's home and safe. I'm well, getting better, I think. I don't think that we will be the same though," Theseus said as he walked out of the living room and up to his own room with a small smile on his face lost in thought about what he had said. 'Everything will be just fine.' Theseus thought one last time before he went to sleep. 'Everything will be just fine.' Theseus smiled as he drifted off to sleep.
