#sugar daddy gellert

[silverynight]

Part V of the grindelmandore sugar daddy au.

You can read part IV here.

***

"We can stay in another place if you want, little one," Theseus mumbles, leaning closer to Newt to stroke his soft hair. "If I'm being honest, I have never offered to buy you a flat here because I wanted you to stay with me... But if you want I can–"

"No, it's okay. I'm fine here," Newt says; he doesn't want Theseus to spend more money on him.

"We love to have him here," Queenie intervenes, trying not to look too amused at the situation.

They're having breakfast and Newt tries not to sigh every time Theseus looks back at his plate; since Newt lied to him about having so much work to do at college, his brother is convinced Newt doesn't eat enough because he's too focused on other things.

And now he's constantly making sure Newt eats enough, like he did when they were just kids.

"Perhaps I should talk with some of your professors about–"

"No!" Newt blurts out, panicking and too late realizes that his reaction is a little bit suspicious... Tina looks completely pale and glances at Theseus who's now frozen in his spot, looking back at his brother with confusion and worry. "I m-mean I'm not five anymore, Theseus... I don't need you to solve my problems for me. Besides, homework is something I have to do if I want to be prepared for my tests."

After a couple of seconds of tense silence, Theseus nods, although Newt is not entirely sure he convinced him.

"I just worry about you, little one."

"I know, 'Seus," he takes his brother's hand and smiles at him. "But please don't forget I'm not a child anymore."

"I'll keep that in mind," Theseus chuckles, he kisses Newt's cheek and adds, with an amused glimmer in his eyes: "Now finish your breakfast."

Newt rolls his eyes dramatically, however he knows his brother is joking... well, half joking would be a more accurate description.

***

At least Theseus doesn't follow him to the university; Newt wouldn't know what to do if that was the case.

He's still worried about their silence, they haven't texted him since he left them in the cafeteria; perhaps he's just overreacting and the professor and Gellert finally decided to forget about him. Besides, they have each other now.

Feeling a little bit sad and lonely for a moment, Newt walks slowly than usual in the hallway, some of his classmates recognize him and wave their hands at him.

The redhead tries to smile, but he realizes it's more difficult now...

"Newt!" A boy from the football team approaches him, his dark hair only makes more obvious the way his cheeks turn pink when the redhead looks back at him. "I don't know if you're aware, but Fernanda is having a party this weekend and I was wondering–"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Simons but I have to talk with Mr. Scamander," as soon as Newt recognizes Albus's voice, he shivers.

He turns around only to stare in confusion as professor Albus glares at the boy that was trying to talk to him.

"Of course," he mumbles, a little bit scared. "I'll text you, Newt!"

The problem is he doesn't remember giving him his number.

"I can't say that I like it or that Gellert will be glad to hear it, but at least tell me, Newt... Is that why you're leaving us?" Albus startles him again, he's closer now, hand on Newt's shoulder. "You want to date someone else?"

"What? No!" Newt blurts out and looks around, missing completely the relieved expression on Albus's face.

"Come on, let's keep talking in my office," Albus insists and Newt hesitates just a second before following him.

It's a mistake.

"Hello, Newton."

Newt freezes when he sees Gellert smirking at him, next to Albus's desk, but the professor closes the door before he can escape.

"A student was asking him out when I found him," Albus narrows his eyes.

"And I suppose you won't tell me who it is, right?" Gellert says, eyes sparkling with a dangerous emotion.

"Actually," the professor chuckles. "I'm tempted to tell you. I didn't like it either."

"He wasn't asking me out," Newt tells them; he's not entirely sure why they are so upset about it.

"A student, darling?" Gellert gets closer to him and strokes his cheek. "He would never be able to give you what Albus and I can."

"I'm not dating anyone," Newt assures them, feeling flustered. Gellert chuckles and starts kissing his neck and he... He doesn't make any attempt to stop him.

"That's a good answer, my darling," Gellert purrs and Albus immediately hugs Newt from behind.

It feels so good to be wanted and loved Newt almost forgets about Theseus.

"Come back to us, baby," Albus whispers in his curls, before kissing the back of his head. "We can give you so many things... We'd like to spoil you, my love."

"But Theseus..." Newt pulls away, and watches as both men narrow their eyes as soon as they hear the name.

"So there is someone," Gellert almost growls and Newt shakes his head.

"My brother," Newt adds and their anger fades away almost immediately. "He wouldn't... approve of this."

"What matters is what you want," Gellert says at the same time Albus mumbles: "Let me talk to your brother."

He shakes his head. No, that wouldn't be a good idea.

"I... I have to go to class," Newt stammers, before fleeing from the room.

He doesn't want to have problems with Theseus, but perhaps he should start talking to him about what he really wants for once.

***

At least he needs to try. Newt takes a deep breath as his brother is humming a song while helping Queenie set the table; he's so distracted he doesn't notice when Newt walks in the flat.

"Theseus, uhh..."

"Newt!" His brother takes him in his arms and the redhead is very much tempted to point out he was gone just for a couple of hours. "What if we do something today? Just you and me?"

"Sure... we can go somewhere to... talk," it's his opportunity to tell him about them and how much he'd like to be in a relationship, although Newt knows he's not going to like the idea.

Someone knocks at the door and the redhead pales for a second before running towards the door; he realizes it's a man in a bicycle, one that hands Newt a package and a bouquet of flowers.

He signs quickly and tries to go to his bedroom to hide them, but it's too late; Theseus walks in the living room and sees them.

"What is that?"

"Something I bought..."

"You bought yourself flowers?" Theseus narrows his eyes at him and Newt knows he doesn't believe him. "Open the package, please. I'm curious to see what you bought."

Newt does it and gasps as soon as he sees the beautiful bracelet with the figure of a wolf on it; he loves it and just because of that he's willing to forgive them for sending that to the flat.

"What's going on, Newt?" Theseus crosses his arms over his chest and the redhead sighs, although he doesn't know where to begin.

"Perhaps one of Newt's classmates that has a crush on him?" Tina mumbles, trying to help, but the only thing she manages to do is to make Theseus grimace.

"No college student can afford that," he says, pointing at Newt's bracelet.

"Okay... 'Seus, we need to talk."

"Yeah, I think we do, Newt."

//Thank you for the ask @scottys-rp-blogs & Nonnie!

Actually, I have two ideas I’d love to do, both with @forthegreatergoodrp. One in which Loki is a host/model for hire (with some serious addictions — illusions/magic to soothe his mind in my main verse = alcohol, painkillers and drugs in human verse) while Gellert is a filthy rich man, who obviously hires Loki to go with him to meetings and parties (it changes into a sugar daddy-boy relationship with tons of angst because of Loki’s addictions :)). The other idea I had is that Grindelwald is just after breaking away from Albus and starts gathering people for his cause. Loki had an arranged marriage to a girl from Hogwarts after their last year, and Gellert visits them (perhaps they’re wealthy?) to win them for his cause. The main idea for it was that Gellert would become obsessed with Loki (due to a song @forthegreatergoodrp showed me xD), but I also imagined a scene with Loki saving his life after Abernathy brings him in (his house would welcome Gellert and his acolytes, it’d be a safe place to stay) and there could be so much angst because yes I want to be with you but I’m married and they’ll skin me alive if I… I really can’t think of anything else but Grindeloki, sorry to disappoint. XD

Young Percy Graves is a junior Auror, fast rising in the ranks at MACUSA, thanks to his skill and talent with wandless magic.

When another Auror fumbles the task of investigating the Second Salemers, Percy is given the assignment instead, and he finds himself rather betwitched, for once, by a shy, dark haired nomaj boy.

Credence surprises him, and perhaps himself when he approaches Percy and initiates a conversation, perhaps intent on conversion, but ultimately, finding a strong connection.

i’m a model, sir. | OPEN to (any) mr. graves - sugar daddy!au w/ model!credence.

[ Credence Barebone was a new name on the industry – he was only 23 years old, full of life and knew how to work on high heels. The first big photoshoot he ever did was to Gay Magazine, after it the boy was called to do some small ones here and there but that was it.

Until this very morning, when his manager – Gellert Grindewald, the guy whom discovered him – called Credence, waking him up, to break some huge news. “Good morning, kid.” Gellert was a cold man, he just cared about money and fame, nothing else. “Waking you up to break some news.” Credence just hummed on the phone, too braindead to understand what was happening. “Playboy wants you on the cover – they want that fine ass to be their newest bunny.” And suddenly the boy was wake. What? Playboy wanted him? But this magazine… it was only for men, right? To see boobs and butts and women body, not men’s. “So be at their office – I will send you the address – this noon. Someone will help you there, bye bye.”

And of course he couldn’t go back to sleep after this. Playboy wanted him the be their new bunny – the thought was so foreign that it almost didn’t seem to be real. If Playboy was interested in his work than it meant that other magazines were too – it meant that his career could easily explode and Credence could become a known face around. He knew he was dreaming big, but he couldn’t give up, not after everything he had been trough to become a model.

His shabby Brooklyn apartment was one of his few achievements as a model – it was a small, one bedroom apartment with infiltration on the kitchen walls, but it was his. After achieving this small goal, Credence was able to leave his adoptive mother’s home where he was constantly abused her – and of course freedom meant he could be himself without caring if he would be punished for it or not.

The day passed painfully slowly. The young man painted his nails, shaved his whole body, choose at least three different outfits and was ready 30 minutes before he needed to. Walking around his house waiting for the time to pass with phone in hand, Credence decided to call an Uber – the driver was only 10 minutes away from him. He would be in Playboy’s office with time to spare.

Minutes later a confident Credence (but only on the outside) walked inside the luxurious lobby. “Mr. Barebone?” He nodded. “They are waiting for you, fifteenth floor.” The boy thanked her, grabbed his name tag and entered the elevator with shaking hands – of course the fifteenth floor just couldn’t come soon enough.

When the doors opened, Credence found himself stepping in a reunion room – three man were already there waiting for him and they had all his pictures from Gay Magazine. His black eyes swept through the men and stopped in one in special: he couldn’t read the man’s name on his name tag, but he could understand that the guy was not a part of the Playboy team. Maybe a sponsor? He did not know – but he was enchanted, that was for real. ]

What if Queenie had Grindelwald as a sugar daddy?

Oh....that is certainly an intriguing idea.

Queenie having a sugar daddy in general. but then it being Gellert...hmmm

[silverynight]

Part IV of the grindelmandore sugar daddy au.

You can read part III here.

***

Well... It seems Newt cannot date those two men, at least not now that Theseus is coming; his brother will freak out if he finds out.

But Newt has time to make things right, it'll take Theseus a couple of hours to get to Tina and Queenie's flat, so Newt has time to go see Albus and Gellert and... let them know he cannot date them anymore.

"I'm sorry, Newt," Tina mumbles, looking down at the floor as he prepares to go.

"It's okay, Tina," he smiles, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You were worried, I understand."

She looks like she wants to tell him something more... but she doesn't. Instead, Queenie moves closer to him.

"Sweetie, I know your brother loves you and wants the best for you, but you don't have to stop doing something you like just because of him," she says. "If you want to date those two men–"

"It's better this way," he's still not sure that is the best for him at the moment... He has to focus on college and find a way to pay the rent and buy food; he's determined not to ask his brother for money because he'll insist on taking him to his house.

***

He's nervous; Gellert knows he's dating someone else but Albus doesn't, that's why he texted them both to meet him at that cafeteria, to tell them everything... Well, not exactly everything because he doesn't know what they'd say about his brother, so he'll probably keep that to himself.

Newt looks around and notices there's no one else in the place at that time; it's okay, he doesn't want anyone to hear what he has to say. At least the cafeteria is close to the flat and he can go quickly if he needs to.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, baby," Albus startles Newt when he approaches to the table. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," the boy blushes immediately and scolds himself for not looking more... collected.

He needs to focus, but it's really difficult when Albus takes Newt's hand in his and starts kissing it.

"You're so beautiful, you know that, baby?"

Well, that certainly makes it worse.

"I–I wanted to talk to you actually," he bites his lower lip before continuing. "I've been seeing someone else."

"And you... rather be dating them than... me?" Albus looks so sad that makes Newt start to panic.

"No! It's not like that!" Okay, this is turning into something more complicated than expected.

"Let me prove you I'm better then."

"But... That is not–"

"Albus?" Gellert walks in the cafeteria at that moment and Newt realizes both men look so out of place in there; they're just so elegant...

Newt is not like them... He can't–it's not going to work.

"Gellert?" Albus mumbles, surprised and after a couple of seconds, grins from ear to ear as the man with mismatched eyes sits next to him.

Gellert smiles back at him and then looks at Newt.

"I'm glad we still have the same... great ideas," he purrs, taking Newt's hand. "And the same taste."

"He's just perfect, isn't he?" Albus comments and Gellert seems to agree with him by the way he looks from him to the boy.

"Do you know each other?" Newt decides to intervene, before his blush spreads towards his neck.

"Yes," they say at the same time and by the way they look at each other it seems like there is more than that.

Although if that's the case Newt is glad, because that means they won't be alone.

"I asked you to come here to tell you something," Newt takes a deep breath, moving his hand away from Gellert's. "I can't... see you anymore."

Albus looks hurt and Gellert's eyes shine with something like a desperate pain. He leans closer to Newt and tries to take his arm, but the boy moves out of the way again.

"You can't leave us, darling," he says, trying to calm himself. "Newton..."

"What Gellert means is that you don't have to choose... if that's what's troubling you, baby," Albus says, lips quirking up. "We both can take care of you."

Gellert puts a hand on Newt's thigh; the boy's cheeks turn even more red, but he can't say he doesn't like it.

"Can you imagine?" Albus whispers, hopeful. "The three of us together?"

"We're perfect for each other, Liebling," Gellert caressing Newt's thigh and the boy knows he should stop him, but he just... can't. "Albus and I can give you the world if you ask us to."

"We'll give you anything you want, baby," his professor whispers before leaning towards him to give him a kiss on the neck. Which makes the barista look at them with curiosity.

"It's not... It's just–I can't," Newt says, rising from his seat. "I can't be in a relationship at the moment."

He shouldn't have accepted their invitations in the first place; they're so different from him, they'd have gotten tired of him soon. Besides, he has so many things in his mind right now and... of course, Theseus.

He'll never approve of this.

"I'm sorry," he says before walking away.

***

Newt gets back to the flat just in time; he greets Theseus who basically jumps at him and pulls him into a very tight hug.

"I've missed you so much, little one!" He whines, before kissing him on the cheek, making Newt giggle.

Tina looks a little bit nervous.

"I missed you, too," Newt says, trying not to think about Albus and Gellert. Trying not to regret his decision.

"I was worried about you," Theseus sits on the couch, pulling Newt next to him. "Your friend's call left me really concerned. Are you okay? She said you were... in trouble?"

"I might have exaggerated a little... bit," Tina mumbles, cheeks turning pink. But Theseus is too focused on Newt to pay attention to her.

"It's about... college," Newt says. "I've been worrying about essays and exams a lot lately and sometimes I forget to eat and sleep."

Theseus narrows his eyes and for a moment Newt thinks he doesn't believe him until his eyes start roaming all over his body.

"You look thinner," he comments disapprovingly. "If you come with me–"

"I'm staying, Theseus."

"Well... At least let me give you money for–"

"I'm fine."

"You're so stubborn," his brother says, but his eyes look fondly at Newt. "Anyway, I'll be staying here for a while. To take care of you."

Newt rolls his eyes, but decides not to argue with his brother that he can actually take care of himself. It's okay, it's not like Albus and Gellert are going to call him anyway.

Although he still has to see Albus in class.

Why Apple didn’t need to buy Time Warner

Image: hbo

Own an iPhone? Like Game of Thrones ? In a world-wide where Apple bought Time Warner, the media company behind HBO, CNN and TBS, the next season of the hyped imagination sequence could have premiere exclusively to iPhone users.

It’s a perplexing scenario, but also one well worth considering now that AT& T agreed to buy Time Warner over the weekend for around $85 billion. The announcement of the batch reincarnated conversation that Apple had been and could still be interested in the media company.

SEE ALSO: You damn well should care about the AT& T and Time Warner deal

You know Apple as the manufacturer of your iPhone, MacBook, iPad and Watches, concoctions that have helped make it among the most valuable companionships in the world. But when “theres only” so much better hardware to sell and so many people to sell to, the tech giant could be gazing an expansion. The company has looked at a few different industries like autoes, healthcare and, yes, entertainment.

Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes disavowed there being recent and continued interest from Apple, pointing out that they are in a separate business.

“They’re busy with phones and inventions on a world-wide basis and I’m not sure that they’re focused on media product, ” Bewkes told CNBC Monday morning.

But the action for Time Warner between AT& T or Apple isn’t fairly that different.

“Both have substantial revelation to the mobile data, content and infrastructure, albeit one as air carriers and one as a “manufacturers “, ” James Gellert, CEO of fiscal research and analytics fellowship Rapid Ratings, told Mashable . “Both are also in the contents distribution business.”

For AT& T, Time Warner’s content is also possible funneled through its readers on cellular wireless and on broadband. Apple touches buyers through iTunes and Apple TV, who were able to stand to take advantage of an influx of content from a friendly, content-making sister fellowship like Time Warner.

Apple everything

Apple is no longer claiming like it’s not getting into the content game.

While iTunes was once simply a distributor of digital albums or individual sungs with a fee, the tech monster now offers Apple Music a streaming service opponent to Spotify and now Amazon Prime. For $9.99 per month, people can pay for access to a library of sungs and some juicy exclusive content.

With access to all of Time Warner’s content, Apple could exhaust a product like Apple Music “but forTV demonstrates or a true native-Apple version of Netflix, “Jeff Reeves, executive editor and commentator at InvestorPlace.com, told Mashable .

Such a consolidation allowed by “ability to watch more content on challenge or stream their favorite TV station right on an iPhone or iPad the path God intended.”

How it’s retained a leg-up over other services: Give exclusive access. In the last six months, Rihanna, Drake and Frank Ocean have all debuted or had exclusive trails on Apple Music. Beyond music, Apple bought James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke.” It has also schemed a new show “Planet of the Apps.”

Apple already works with HBO through the company’s HBO Now app. But Apple senior vice president of internet software Eddy Cue was speedy to dismiss future challenger or more oversight between the two companies.

Were doing particular shows today that weve announced, so were surely doing some things, but I dont think youre going to see us do a huge number of them. I think youll continue to see us do more partnerships, ” Cue told an audience at Vanity Fair’s conference in San Francisco last week.

Investors have been watching Apple’s growth beyond machines closely. Apple’s July earnings revealed that 11 percentage of overall revenue was coming from the company’s business business, which includes the the App Store, iTunes and Apple Pay. CEO Tim Cook did income in 2017 would form those occupations the equivalent of a Fortune 100 business.

Money isn’t the problem

One thing is certain: Apple has the money. Apple had $231.5 billion cash on hand last one-quarter. While that was down $1.4 billion from the previous one-quarter, the modesties still place the tech giant in a position of power to construct strategic acquisitions.

AT& T and Time Warner agreed to an $85 billion handled in money and capital. Sure, that’s a great deal of money, and it would be a proportion of amount beyond anything Apple has ever done before.

But it is a defensive move for AT& T, which has had to face tough competition in its primary business of wireless service.

“T-Mobile and Sprint are munching them up with brand-new customers. AT& T is of the view that content will help them be developed further a bigger moat to keep out the dogs, ” spoke Phil Davis, CEO of Philstockworld.com and PSW Investments.

Time Warner is still a massive busines, but compared to Apple its business might not make much of a difference. The tech monstrou built roughly $234 billion in 2015 while Time Warner brought in $6.1 billion in revenue. Apple “could come up with a fasten clip that constitutes$ 6 billion a year. Wheres the bang for the buck? ” Davis said.

Even though its cost might not be out of Apple’s reach, the acquisition precisely doesn’t make sense on a tactical height. There’s management shakeups and execution costs that can be confusing for the company at hand.

At this point in time for Apple, it draws more sense to buy one-off serial like “Carpool Karaoke” rather than deal with the logistics of owning a media company.

“As the ad-supported TV simulate is collapsing, a tech company could use HBO, and bequest TV/ movie networks to try to lock up content, but its easier to start from zero and start expend, ” read Johnny Won, CEO of tech consultancy Hyperstop. “This can be endlessly complicated.”

“My guess is Apple feels like they can deliver their own content better, ” did Sander Read, CEO of Lyons Wealth Management.

One to watch

Where Apple and AT& T enormously contradict is the state of their respective businesses.

Apple’s device manufacturing isn’t expected to grow greatly in the near future, but it should remain among the world’s most profitable fellowships for quite a while.

AT& T, on the other handwriting, is facing a difficult room forwards as it tries to adapt to a future in which spread exclusively changes more competitive.

About 30 years ago, that wasn’t the occasion. Back in the early 1990 s, before Steve Jobs recalled as CEO and the iPod changed the music manufacture, Apple and AT& T were “on the verge of merging, ” Peter Friedman, Apple’s vice president and general manager of internet services at the time and now CEO of social software busines LiveWorld, told Mashable . “AT& T was trying to get into digital technology, and Apple was trying to find a sugar daddy to bail it out of the business.”

Apple’s disappointing financial results those quarters purposed up settling the batch, Friedman said.

In 2016, Apple is far from needing a savior. Its grocery capitalisation of more than $600 billion far outshines that of AT& T’s at $200 billion. It has the wealth and influence to acquire Time Warner, but precisely doesn’t need to even if it would be just a clump of its dwelling currency stockpile.

If the deal between Time Warner and AT& T does go through, Apple is slotted even more delicately for a future deal.

“Apple has become the most difficult company in “the worlds”, and “the worlds largest” loved company on driving customer suffers within operating systems, ” Friedman replied. “They have plenty to do within autoes and TVs to give their focus in and expand their ecosystem without taking on actual material assets right now.”

Part III of the grindelmandore sugar daddy au.

***

Ignoring text messages is not going to help Newt with his... problem, especially because he basically sees Albus every single day at college.

He's been telling his professor he doesn't have time to talk, but he knows that's not going to work forever as a believable excuse.

What Newt needs to do is just to stop seeing one of them; at first Newt thinks that he should tell Albus about it, since he's still his professor and he could get in trouble for that.

But he forgets what he's supposed to say the moment Albus manages to get him in the same empty classrooms as him.

"Did I do something wrong, baby?" Albus looks almost in pain and Newt thinks that he can't... just leave him like that. "I think I was... going a little bit fast, wasn't I? I'm sorry, Newt. I didn't mean to pressure you when I said I wanted to take you home. We can take things slow."

His professor gets closer until he touches Newt's right cheek. The redhead blushes.

"So... when you said you wanted–you were talking about..."

"I wanted to spend the night with you," Albus presses his lips against Newt's, making the boy shiver. "I still want to, but I can wait. Just don't leave me..."

Albus sits back on his chair and puts Newt over his lap, staring up at him with a hopeful grin on his face.

Well... Maybe he should talk with Gellert then, because he actually likes Albus too and he doesn't want to stop seeing him.

Newt leans, enjoying the feeling of Albus's hands on his hips. The man kisses him and he surrenders completely.

***

"Did you break up with him?" Queenie asks, trying to hide a smile.

Newt suspects she already knows what happened, but just wants to have fun hearing it from him.

"No."

"Well... That means you're gonna break up with the other one then," Queenie goes back to the kitchen to make some dinner.

"Yes," although Newt's already nervous just thinking about it, he doesn't want to hurt anybody. But it's for the best, right?

Even though he also kinda likes Gellert.

"You should break up with both," Tina narrows her eyes. "I don't trust them."

"Teenie, you should relax, let Newt have some fun," Queenie winks at him and Newt's cheeks turn pink at her mischievous smirk. "I think you should keep both."

No, he can't. And he can't just tell Gellert on a text message that it's better if they don't see each other again.

"Oh, Newt. Your man is outside!" Queenie looks through the window, completely pleased.

"I can tell him to go away," Tina offers, but Newt shakes his head when he realizes it's Gellert.

"No, I need to talk to him myself."

***

"You haven't answered my texts," Gellert says, leaning against his car. He doesn't look angry, just... sad.

"I'm sorry."

"Is it because of the man that gave you the necklace?" He asks, reaching out to Newt. The boy takes his hand without thinking and the next thing he knows is that he's being pulled into strong arms.

"Uhh... Yes," he doesn't know what else to say and doesn't even bother to move away.

There's a determined glimmer in his eyes and a mischievous smile that makes Newt's cheeks burn.

"I still want to date you," the man whispers, before giving Newt a kiss on his neck. "Give me a chance. Allow me to prove you that I'm better than him."

It's a bad idea. A really bad one. But Gellert presses his lips against his and this time he doesn't just give him a peck, it's a proper kiss that leaves Newt breathless.

"Let's go dancing, Liebling."

"I need to back and put on something more–"

"I'll buy you a new suit on our way there, don't worry, Newton. You're with me, you don't have anything to worry about."

***

Gellert is a great dancer, he leads Newt with ease through the dance floor and the boy lets himself just enjoy the moment: the music and the feeling of another body pressed to his.

He closes his eyes and chuckles when he feels a kiss on the tip of his nose...

Why everything has to be so complicated? Why does he always get himself in these kind of trouble?

Gellert seems to be okay with him dating Albus as well, but his professor doesn't know anything about it.

He needs to tell him. He'll do it.

"Are you having a good time, darling?"

"Yes," he admits, smiling when Gellert presses their foreheads together.

"Glad to hear I'm not the only one, my love."

When Gellert leaves him in Tina and Queenie's flat, the last thing Newt expects is to find his friends awake, sitting in the living room, waiting for him.

"I'm so sorry, Newt," Tina mumbles as soon as he walks inside. "I didn't know what else to do! I was worried about you!"

"What happened?"

"She called your brother, sweetie," Queenie says and Tina looks down at her feet, ashamed. "He's coming."

Now THAT is a serious problem...

Part II of the sugar grindelmandore au.

***

Both Albus and Gellert have been texting him; Albus is excited to see Newt again outside college and Gellert sent him a navy blue suit for their dinner that night.

Newt still can't believe the man sent him an expensive suit; he tried to text him it was not necessary and that he could pay him for it (although judging for the way it was tailored and the fabric he seriously doubted it) but Gellert said it was a gift and just wanted to have the pleasure to see Newt in it.

"That man seriously wants you, sweetie," Queenie says, looking at the suit all over Newt's bed.

The boy blushes, staring back at his friend almost in alarm.

"What? No! It's just... uh..."

"Did he give you the money?" The girl interrupts, making her sister huff.

"That's not important right now, Queenie! You're not planning on actually going out with this man, right?" Tina crosses her arms over her chest, narrowing her eyes at him.

"I couldn't say no, Tina! Sorry!" Actually, he has to go out twice that day.

"I think this is a mistake, Newt," she says, clearly worried. Then, after looking at Newt's sad face she sighs. "I'm not angry, just please call me if something's wrong, okay?"

"Okay."

"Well... Who gave you the money?" Queenie insists after a while.

"It was your brother, right Newt?" Tina says, like she desperately wants for the answer to be 'yes'.

"Not exactly," Newt blushes, knowing that his response doesn't make any sense. "It was... uh... Albus."

"What? You mean Albus Dumbledore? Professor Dumbledore?" Queenie grins excitedly. "Oh, sweetie, you have two powerful, rich men chasing after you!"

"They're not chasing after me!"

"You should call Theseus, Newt," Tina says again, but the boy with reddish hair only shakes his head.

No, calling Theseus is not an option.

***

Newt relaxes the moment he finds himself in a cafeteria; it seems he made the right choice by not wearing the suit Gellert bought him. At least not until dinner.

It's a little bit weird to be with his professor outside class, but Newt likes Albus and he always seems to have something interesting to talk about so Newt spends a really good time with him.

The man reaches out to him over the table and takes Newt's hand in his, intertwining their fingers together. Then he brings the boy's hand to his lips to kiss it repeatedly, to Newt's confusion.

"I'd like to take you home, Newt," Albus whispers in a way that makes him shiver for no apparent reason.

He has to go out with Gellert that night.

"I actually... have something to do," he mumbles, cheeks turning slightly pink; he's not sure why is not telling Albus where he's going. There's nothing wrong about it.

"Maybe tomorrow?" Albus looks at him, hopeful and Newt can't help but nod. "That's great, baby. Oh, you have no idea how long I've waiting for this... You have no idea how much I love you."

Newt freezes for a second... So is that...?

It's so overwhelming to hear someone saying that to him with so much confidence and determination.

"Here, I brought you this," Albus grins from ear to ear, handing him a beautiful necklace that looks quite... expensive.

"You don't have to..." Newt says, face burning, even though he absolutely loves the silver chain and the blue stone.

"It's my pleasure, baby," he insists, kissing him on the cheek. "May I?"

Newt allows him to put him the necklace, still thinking about what happened.

He had no idea his professor liked him that way, but now that he knows, the idea of dating Albus sounds actually... great.

***

Gellert picks him up from Queenie and Tina's flat in a black Jaguar.

"That's a nice car," she comments approvingly. "So... second date, sweetie?"

Newt shakes his head.

"No, it's... how did you know I had a date with Albus?"

"I'm pretty good at guessing things," she says. "Sometimes people are just easy to read and that gentleman waiting for you down there totally thinks it's a date."

No, he can't... They're just–It's not the same as with Albus.

"Not everyone wants to date me, Queenie," he tries to smile, but he's too flustered to do it.

"Perhaps not everyone, but those two..."

"Sorry, I have to go!"

"Good luck, honey!"

***

"You're beautiful," Gellert whispers, it's not the first time he does and Newt still hasn't gotten used to it. "You look breathtaking with the suit. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I love it, thank you," Newt nods, looking around at all those elegant, rich people in the restaurant and feeling a little bit out of place.

Gellert leans to kiss his cheek, but frowns a bit when he notices the necklace. He touches the stone and glares at it.

"Where did you buy this?" He asks, but Newt is sure Gellert knows he can't afford it, he's just trying to get information about it.

"Someone gave it to me."

Gellert huffs, not at all pleased with the answer.

"I can give you something better," he assures and then: "I'll give you something better!"

"That's not at all necessary, Gellert," Newt says, but the man takes his hand to kiss it.

"You deserve only the best, Liebling."

He relaxes a little bit when the dishes arrive and Newt doesn't even want to know how much everything's going to cost.

"On our next date, I'm going to take you dancing, love. You'll love it, it's a wonderful place."

Newt tries not to look alarmed, even though he's actually panicking.

Queenie's right, which means he's dating two men at the same time. He needs to let them know, but probably not... that day.

It can't get any worse, he thinks as Gellert leaves him outside Tina's building and gives him a peck on the lips as a goodbye.

How is he gonna tell them now?
