☝️ – Tap my muse on the shoulder
Newt had been walking down the street, case in hand when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He paused, not sure who was there, but he turned to see–
“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?
Carlos was holding some tension in his frame, unsure and a little anxious of how Newt would react. But being recognized helped to get rid of some of it almost right away and Carlos greeted Newt with a wide grin.
“Hey Newt… Long time no see.”
The man chuckled softly, nodding. “It has… what are you doing in London? I never expected to find you here.” He asked, shaking his hand
Carlos returned the handshake, friendly but not too firm. “Well, I’m uh… I came to attend a… a show. A demonstration.” Carlos couldn’t remember how Newt felt about No-maj technology, even though he’d met his family, so he didn’t immediately say what it was. “I’m surprised to run into you though – I did wonder if you’d be here, but I know you’re a traveling man with a passion. But when I saw your blue coat I recognized it almost immediately.”
Newt smiled at the explanation, and blushed at the man’s words. “I suppose it is rather noticeable, isn’t it?” He asked, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. “It’s nice to see you though, Carlos. It’s been a long time.” He added.
Carlos just smirked at Newt’s apparent self-conciousness. “I missed the coat,” he said. He then added with exaggerated chargin, “I guess I missed you too.” Carlos smiled again to show that he was teasing.
“So… what’s new with Newt?” he asked.
