☝️ – 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?

Newt smiled, and offered his arm. “I know a good place.” He said, and smiled happily at the man.

Oh, a Newt smile. Carlos forgot how much he liked those – Newt’s expressions were always so subtle.

Carlos took Newt’s elbow, assuming the other man would lead them to the place. “Is it a magic or a No-Maj place? I’ve got money for both.”

“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?

Newt chuckled quietly, and looked down slightly. “I’m hoping when my book is published, America’ll become more accepting.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck. 

“Well, I certainly hope so,” Carlos told him. “I’m looking forward to it. I know my class on magical creatures was pretty lacking at Ilvermorny. The information just isn’t there for us to learn yet.”

Newt smiled warmly, and nodded. “Hopefully the information will just continue to grow and spread.” He said softly. 

“Hopefully,” Carlos agreed with a nod. Carlos wasn’t sure what else to say for a moment. But then he had an idea. “You’re not busy right this moment, are you? Have you had lunch?”

Newt seemed surprised by the comment, but he shook his head. “No, I haven’t eaten yet.” He said. “Where would you like to go?” He asked.

Carlos shrugged. “I’m pretty much happy with anywhere,” he said. “I don’t know London very well, so I don’t know what’s good here. But it’ll be my treat.” He grinned at Newt, hoping he’d say yes. Carlos wanted to hear all about what Newt had been up to.

“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?

The thin man smiled softly, and looked down shyly. “I’ve been keeping busy.” He replied, rubbing the back of his neck. “Lots of studying, lots of writing, lots of traveling.” He said, and glanced up at the man. 

“What’s new with you?” He asked. 

Carlos smiled slightly. “Well, um… I’ve been studying, myself,” he said. “Trying to hone my metal-charming as No-Maj technology around us marches forward, you know? I applied for a couple new patents for some charmed equipment that I invented.”

Carlos forgot how shy and awkward Newt would appear when you spoke to him. But if Carlos remembered correctly now, that was just how Newt was.

The man nodded, and glanced around as people passed them by. “That’s good.” He said, nodding a little. “And how’s your father?” He asked, tilting his head. “Are you having any more problems with the shed?” 

Carlos shook his head. “No, no problems. We’ve learned how to spot bundimun rot so we’re able to keep them at bay. And keep them hidden from our neighbors. And Dad and Mikey are doing well. Thanks for asking.”

Newt smiled, and nodded. “That’s good.” He replied happily. “How are things in America? After the incident in New York, I came home, and I haven’t been able to return.” He explained.

Carlos shrugged slightly. “I don’t pay too much attention to politics, but I don’t think much has changed from a year ago. Some anti-magic cult had been destroyed, but that just seemed to fuel wizard elitists’ ideals.” He then gave a wry smile. “And I still can’t legally get a puffskein, even if I wanted to. So there’s that.”

“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.
