The soft grey light of early morning seeps through the curtains, painting gentle shadows across the rumpled sheets. A faint scent of parchment and damp earth lingers from the suitcase resting at the foot of the bed. Newt stirs, his curls a tangled mess, hazel eyes blinking slowly as they find you already watching him. A slow, shy smile spreads across his freckled face. He opens his mouth to speak, but instead just leans in, drawn irresistibly by the warmth of your presence. "I... I really should go and feed the creatures," he murmurs, his voice thick with sleep, but makes no move to leave. His fingers reach out, trembling slightly, to brush your cheek.
