Late Night Cutie Pie

Newt Scamander X Knight Bus Worker! Reader

((Can be read as platonic))

While working on the bus, a famous little face pops itself into the open doors. A sweetheart that’s been stressed out of his mind, and you do what you do best. Help those in need. Along with show you might have a talent for Nifflers, on top of a talent for flustering Magizoologists

Warnings: very adorable fluff, tooth rotting fluff, fluster newt, newt being painfully adorable, and of course TEDDY SHENANIGANS

“Ooooo we got a celebrity joining us tonight-!” You heard you coworker, a talking head, shout to you. You wondered who that could be, as you finished tidying up the beds. Ready for whatever lost soul is needing a good rest. Pillows fluffed, blankets laid out, and wheels oiled to keep people from flying.

“Oh no no. Im not celebrity-“ A almost timid voice would speak, as you hurried down from the upper floor. Once your shoes hit the ground, your eyes went wide with who they landed on. A man in a blue jacket, fluffy hair, and a suit case in hand. Newt Scamander. In the flesh.

“No way-“ You whispered, before those big blue eyes were on you. He gave a shy little wave, before rummaging in his pocket. Pulling out his ticket, and snapping you back to reality. As instinct, you were quick to sort it out. Not even needing to look at your hands, as you kept them on him. Snip, snap, POP, done!

“Normally we never pry, but uh. What’s a guy like you doing on a bus like ours-?” You asked. You were a Knight Bus Worker. You had to be social, after all. So being direct with people, no matter the face, is an important skill to have. One that was leaving him embarrassed.

“Well, seems you know who I am. Guess you can kinda put two and two together. Not many people trust that I’ll keep my friends under control.” He admits, with a smile that said it hurt him. They were animals. Not their fault after all. You won’t lie, though. It’s touching how he would simply turn those people away. Compared to following their rules, and leaving his friends behind.

“I mean, we’ve had the shadiest people come on here. Better to have Hippogriff shit on the bed than human shit. Least with a bird like that, you know they couldn’t help it.” You would put, rather bluntly, which had him smile. Knowing he wouldn’t be a burden to anyone on the bus, given you were being very direct with him. Compared to sugar coating, or babying him because of his Hufflepuff nature. People tended to do that, and even he was getting annoyed. A welcome change it was.

“I’ll take you to the upper floor, so you can have more room. Not a lot of people go up there, because of motion sickness. So you’ll have plenty of room to stretch your legs-!” You comforted, as you were making his night. A place to actually rest, and work with his care. You were just his angel. He wanted to hug you so badly, and you can tell with his arms tensing. Once a Hufflepuff, always a Hufflepuff.

“Bring it in-“ You reassured, and he nearly lifted you off the ground. Made you wheeze, but you couldn’t deny it. Hufflepuffs gave the best hugs. Not many people liked to treat you more than part of the bus, so it was a very nice change. Felt good to get a hug.

“Truly, I am so grateful. Be nice to sleep in a bed for a while. Not to say I do not enjoy nature, but we all live in certain environments for a reason after all." The older man said, when he finally set you free. Must be so hard, world traveling. Maybe he was home sick, so he was back in England for a while. Maybe animals were in need. Who knows! You just know he needed rest.

"Come on up then." You would escort him to the second floor of the double decker bus, and would lead him to a freshly made bed. You also made sure the frame was secure, wheels smooth, anything that could cause issues in his stay. Just wanting him to get some rest. As you did, you were not aware of Newt having a panic attack behind you. The moment you turned; he quickly hid his suitcase. Smiling big, with eyes darting everywhere.

"Doing alright? Seem a bit shaken, what's up?" You asked, as he keeps his nervous smile. A tug at his collar, before his eyes were now staring at something behind you. That made you raise a brow, before you slowly turned around. Just as you did, something jumped on you. You gave a shout, before you were tumbling into the once Hufflepuff. Both of you crashing to the ground.

"TEDDY-! NO! WEVE BEEN OVER THIS-!" You heard him shout, as you were helped up. Now you had a niffler choking you out, given he was dangling off your lanyard. Now knowing it was a niffler, you weren't upset. Your lanyard had many shiny pins and buttons. It can't be helped.

"Aw, you want a pin?" You cooed, as you soon scooped the little gremlin into your arms. Him still holding the lanyard, as Newt calmed down. Surprised to see Teddy calm as well. Just looking up at you with those big eyes. Sparkling with desire. You knew what to do, given many a child has ridden the bus. For one reason or another.

"Here is a nice shiny pin, all for you." You smiled, as you rummaged in your pocket. Soon you had a pin in hand, designed to look like the knight bus. With glittery windows, that made it sparkle like stars. That had the niffler let go of the lanyard, and make grabby hands for the pin. Into his tiny hands it went, and he hugged it tightly. A little chirp of happiness, before it went into his pouch. Safe and sound. Now he was satisfied, for the time being.

"Amazing..." Newt whispered, before he would take Teddy back. The little guy was quick to pull the new possession out, and showed it to his dad. Newt gave a 'ooo' and his eyes sparkled all the same. Just like a father, to a toddler. Melted your heart, to see a bond. How he kissed Teddy's head, and he gave chirps of joy.

"You have a talent for animals, I can see it clear as day. Teddy is always a handful, but like that you had it under control. No panic, and quick to find a solution. Amazing." He praised you, resulting a heavy blush on your face. What a praise and honor it was. Newt Scamander, praising your skills.

"Toddlers and nifflers are basically the same thing." You brushed off, before the bus was quick to make its sharp stop. You didnt move a inch, of course, but the father and son went flying. You winced, when Newt slammed into the window. He did, however, made sure to keep teddy wrapped around his arms. Pressed into his chest, so that the little thing suffered as little damage as possible. Such a pure soul.

"There is a reason we have complinetry sleeping potions and pain killers. Check the bedside table, back to work I go!" You waved goodbye, with Teddy waving bye as well. Since his dad was busy with new back pain.

Just like how it always was. Taking tickets, escorting newbies, comforting lost children, punching a drunk here and there. A typical night for the bus. As it was getting closer to the end of your shift, you would go and check on the famous celebrity. Up the stairs, and to the second floor.

There he was. His brief case locked to the bed frame, with an enchanted chain, and his coat hung up. His face pressed into the pillow, showing his knocked out face. Drooling, in a much needed rest. All the while little Teddy was snuggled close to his father. His face tucked under the man’s chin, and tiny hands hugging his dress shirt close. Safe, under the man’s arm.

You would sneak over, and make sure the blanket was pulled high enough for him and Teddy. Poor souls needed it. You wouldn’t be surprised if he would spend a few nights here. As if you would complain. The company would be needed, and who knows. Maybe a Pest Control guy would be needed. Sure get wild animagi coming in sometimes.

With Newt tucked in, and adjusting the pillow for Teddy, you would return down the stairs. All to be teased by that talking head for growing overly friendly with the celebrity. All it took was a flick, and he was spinning. That had you laugh, as you stretched.

Never a dull night, on that bus.

How Maze Runner Characters Would React To Sharing a Bed With You

Thomas and you weren't the closest, but you weren't enemies

-You were at best neutral

-When he got trapped in Scorch City though, you both found yourself in an awkward situation

As you two looked at the motel room you would be sharing, you realized there was only one bed

He started looking around the room as if another one was going to appear out of thin air

When it obviously didn't, he turned and asked if you wanted him to sleep in the chair

You told him not to be ridiculous and crawled into it and under the covers

He awkwardly stood by the door for a minute before shutting it and slowly getting in beside you

As you realized he was sleeping on top of the blankets despite literally shivering you promised it was only a bed and told him to get under the covers

He ended up reluctantly doing so and realized that it was much more comfortable

Almost instantly, he was out like a light

When he was, you secretly stayed up, admiring his sleeping figure

As you laid there on your side, you tried to figure out how to tell Greenie that you want to be so much closer to him

Newt and you had been friends for almost four years and were inseparable

That’s why when you were all told that two people would have to share a room due to lack of space by Janson, you guys decided it wouldn't be a big deal

As you were both led to it you were completely relaxed, quietly making jokes about life

The guard unlocked the door, shoved you both inside, and left

When you realized there was only one bed in it he asked you what you wanted to do

He said he could find another place in the room to sleep, but you were worried about his bad leg getting sore if he sleeps anywhere else but a bed when he doesn't have to

You both decide it’s only a big deal if you let it be

You start out on completely opposite sides, in your own worlds

As the night goes on though, you end up gradually getting closer and closer

When he wakes up before you, he finds you two holding hands with your face right next to the other

His heart was racing like crazy, but he tried to play it cool but reminding himself that it’s only you

When that makes it worse, it becomes clear that the problem has nothing to do with one bed or how close you two are

The problem is that he has feelings for you

As you squeezed his hand in your sleep though, he thought that maybe you return them

You had been crushing on Minho for a while but didn't think he noticed your existence since you kept to yourself

He had been crushing on you but didn't think you noticed since you never talked to him

The thing was that you were far too nervous to

Thomas noticed the way you two made heart eyes at each other but never did anything

That's how he came up with a genius plan to lock you both in his bedroom

He said he had something to show you both separately, and when you both fell for it, he slammed the door shut, locked it, and ran off

You both banged on it for a while, yelling that it wasn't funny

After half an hour of no answer, you ended up giving up

All the screaming had worn you both out though

You looked at the cot, and both your faces heated up

Y’all went back and forth on who would take it for a few minutes before giving up and deciding that one night of sleeping together wouldn't do much harm

Despite your exhaustion, you didn't end up doing much sleeping

You guys talked about mindless things, stupidly wide grins on your faces as you did

When Thomas came back in the morning, he saw that you had both fallen asleep as one mess of limbs, arms and legs tangled together

While neither of you had confessed, this was one step closer

You and Gally had both escaped the Maze together and somehow also both been left behind by the Gladers

You had also both got picked up by Right Arm and fixed up, side by side

You were both scared

You had just been thrust into a totally different world with no hint on how you were expected to act yet told to start swimming

Needless, to say everything was pretty heavy

That's why even though he would normally mind very much, he was relieved when there was only one bed in the room you two were sharing

After the experience you had to go through with him, that feeling was mutual

You both climbed right into bed despite not planning on sleeping

There was a television that you both used to try and drown out your own thoughts

When it didn't work, he found himself speaking about Chuck, apologizing a million times for something he could barely remember

You leaned over and lightly hugged him

He instantly clung to you while holding back tears of regret and anguish

Only when he felt yours pour on his shirt was he unable to stop it

You both held each other all night, mourning the people you’d never see again, the people lost along the way, and who you once were

The only slightly good thing, the only thing that let you both keep hanging on, was that you would get to mourn all of that together

You and Aris had both been taken by WCKD during the betrayal

While you hadn't known each other before then, you become well acquainted when you ended up being each other's only cellmate

You two would pass time, talking about random things or plotting escapes you weren't ready to attempt

You always did so with him on the top bunk and you on the bottom

One night, you had been tossing and turning since had had been taken but hadn't been brought back

As the worry was about to leave you in tears, the cell opened, and he was dragged through, placed on the ground

It was obvious that whatever they did to him left him with so little strength that he wouldn't make it to his usual bunk

You carefully grabbed his arms and helped him onto yours, whispering promises of it being okay

After you tucked him in you went to get on the top bunk only for him to weakly grab your wrist and mumble for you to stay

You were unsure at first but couldn't find it in yourself to say no

You crawled under the blankets with him, wrapping your arms around him as you quietly hummed to him

Having human contact that wasn't causing him pain was such a change that he almost wanted to cry, but he didn't

He just laid there, dozing off to the feeling of safety while secretly falling deeper

When you woke up the next day, you realized he had gone to sleep with dried blood on his skin and a smile on his face

After Teresa turned everyone into WCKD, she was back in the city

They didn't pay a lot so at first she slept in the facility

As she worked her way up though, she ended up earning enough for a small apartment with a roommate

You were also looking for one so that way you could lower your rent

When you met her, you realized that you two clicked and decided she would room with you before even meeting anyone else

Despite this, she still stayed as late as possible for fear of burdening you

One night you went into her room decently late to ask if she wanted some of your snack only to realize she had no bed

You also didn't have a couch so you realized she had been sleeping on the floor

You waited up for her, and when she walked into the door you got up from the counter and asked if she was sleeping on the floor

She tried to lie but tripped over her words, giving it away

When she explained that she didn't make enough for one, you grabbed her hand and took her to your room, where you pointed to your perfectly available one

She started to protest but was so tired that she was slurring her words

After a few minutes she gave in and crawled in on the very edge

You got in and pulled her more towards the middle, whispering to her in the dark that she could never be a burden

Her entire face burned at the closeness of you two

As butterflies filled her stomach until she thought she was going to be sick, she realized a terrifying truth was she cuddled into your neck

She was now very much over Thomas and very into you

You had been found in the Scorch by Jorge

He brought you to his home where you were introduced to Brenda

You didn't have any family so they essentially said that they would become yours

After you accepted, Jorge then explained that you would have to share a bed with Brenda for a few nights while he found you one

She knew what it was like sleeping on the floor and was completely fine with it

Since you were still strangers she didn't want you to feel awkward though so she put a pillow barrier between you

Since it was your first time in an actual bed though, you ended up moving around a lot in your sleep

You also moved over the pillow barrier until you were cuddled into your side

She woke up in the middle of the night realizing that and froze as she tried to figure out what to do

Eventually, she decided the best thing to do was nothing and went back to sleep

As she did though, her arm ended up around you

When you woke up, you apologized a million times only for her to promise that it was okay

You both got so used to ending up cuddling in your sleep that when you got a bed you ended up back in hers anyway

It was cramped and sort of inconvenient, but it

The Spring was slowly but surely running out of room

It seemed like there were more people than supplies, and it was killing y'alls resources

You all had to combat this in different ways, one of which was sharing a room with one bed

It was randomly drawn, with Harriet and Sonya’s names in the jar to prove that it was fair

Sonya’s name was pulled, followed by yours

She knew you didn't choose but was so surprised she almost didn't believe it

She had liked you for forever now so this was absolutely huge

She didn't want to admit that, but she didn't want to make you uncomfortable so she offered to take the floor

You told her that was silly since you had a perfectly good cot and patted the spot beside you

She was nervous but giddy and just full of feelings as she accepted it

She tried to sleep on top of the blanket, but you could feel her shivering later at night and pulled it over her

Her face felt like it was a thousand degrees knowing she was so close to you, but she resisted the urge to squeal

She didn't sleep a wink that night, too caught up in her emotions that one of the most romantic cliches was happening to her

She did daydream about what this could lead to though

After getting “rescued” by what was secretly WICKED, you and her stayed up later then the others, talking as you ate pizza

Eventually, you were both too tired to keep your eyes open and agreed to go to sleep

You attempted to get into the bedroom only to find that the door had been locked

You looked at each other to ask what the hell was happening, but neither of you knew

After a while of trying, it was clear that the door wasn't opening anytime soon

You both looked back at the single couch, then each other, silently asking if it was okay

When she nodded, you slowly took her hand and led her over there

It wasn't small, but it was still only a couch so you so two were pretty squished together

Your bodies were pressed against the other, and she had to wrap her arms around your waist so neither of you would fall off

Goosebumps traveled up your skin at the feeling of her breath on the back of your neck, but you didn't know what to say

So you stayed silent, holding her hands as she hugged you from behind

She was nervous about it but ultimately felt at peace knowing her best friend was so nearby

If there weren't obvious feelings you were both blind to though, maybe your hearts would beat at a normal pace
