Newtmas One-Shots

WRITER'S BLOCK (NEWTMAS AU)

Newt groaned, massaging his temples. His head was throbbing, and the Microsoft Word document on the screen in front of him was blank. It was currently 3am, and he had been trying to write the next chapter of his book for the last five hours. He'd repeatedly written lines and lines of words before he deleted them as he realised that they were gibberish.

These were the joys of being a world famous author. He had a huge fanbase, and his publisher wanted him to release the next book in his bestselling series as soon as possible, hence why he was in this position right now. His husband, Thomas, had left a mug of coffee and a plate of cookies beside him before he disappeared off to bed about five hours ago. The caffeine was now cold, and crumbs decorated Newt's workspace. 

Newt glanced at the time. 3:01 am. He sighed and stood up, running a hand through his messy blonde hair. He walked into the large kitchen that was located just beside his (messy) office. The smell of freshly baked goods hung in the air, and his stomach growled painfully. It had been a long time since he had eaten, and he didn't realise how hungry he was. He closed the door and opened the large pantry, stepping inside and snapping on the light.

Rows and rows of junk food filled up the shelves on the walls. His eyes widened, and he licked his (rather chapped) lips. He vaguely remembered his beautiful husband leaving the house to go shopping earlier. He'd been in a whirlwind of words and thoughts, and his memories were hazy. That was the result of him being devout to his book.

Shaking his head, he grabbed a packet of Cheetos, shut off the light and walked back into his study. He tore open the bag and stuffed his mouth while making his way back to his computer. He sat back down hesitantly, and looked around the small room. 

Plates were piled up, and piles of dirty and crumpled clothes lay in the corners. The place was, quite frankly, a pigsty. Newt sighed. He hated living in squalor, but he had few other options. Writing took  over all of his attention, and he hated it. 

He had married Thomas in a lavish ceremony earlier that year. It was held in Hyde Park in London, the place where Newt was from. There were few guests, and it was perfect. The two husbands hadn't really been spending time with each other, and it made the two of them very upset.

Newt looked at the photos of him and his lover that decorated every surface. He smiled softly when he saw the pictures from their wedding day. He chuckled when he saw the polaroids of them in a photobooth, pulling funny faces. He grinned widely when he saw the photo of Thomas with cat whiskers drawn on and tears rolling down his cheeks, a face-splitting grin painted on his adorable face. The picture was taken on the day he met his idols, Dan and Phil (they were in the photo as well), and it was one of the best days of his life. 

Newt turned back to face his computer screen. Suddenly, a lightbulb turned on his head. He knew what he had to write, and he let it flow out of him. 

Now, of course he had many fans, and those fans had ships. So he decided to make the most popular one canon. "Dylmas" was what their ship name was; the characters' names were Dylan and Thomas, and the fans loved them. There were many Tumblr blogs dedicated to them, and Newt decided to make everyone happy by making them a couple.

He wasn't gonna lie; the two main characters were based off him and his husband. Newt and the character Thomas were very alike, and Thomas and Dylan were practically the same. Newt decided that it would be a good idea to make the fans' dreams happen in the last chaoter of the last book.

Yes, he had decided not to write another book. He decided that it was about time that he had started paying more attention to his marriage. He couldn't wait to tell Tommy; he was going to be very pleased.

Newt typed, and typed, and typed. Time flew by as he worked. He had written the entire chapter in an hour, but it only felt like five minutes. He didn't even read over it before he emailed it to his publisher. He stood up and whooped. Filled with immense relief, he ran all the way up to his room. 

The sight that met him made him coo fondly. Thomas was wearing one of Newt's T-shirts, and he was cuddling his husband's pillow. He was smiling in his sleep, and Newt's heart ached. He tiptoed over to his husband and kissed his head. He pulled the covers up around his husband, and climbed in beside him, still fully clothed. He cuddled him, and he soon fell asleep.

Newt was the first one awake the next morning after the best night's sleep he had had in a long time. He had awoken with a smile on his face, and he was exceptionally happy.

He got up and went downstairs. He made waffles and bacon for his one true love, and he brought it up to him on a tray. 

"Morning, love!" He said cheerfully, once he saw that Thomas was awake. "How was your sleep, darling?" Thomas was shocked. He couldn't remember the last time that his husband was this happy.

He smiled. "It was good, baby! How was yours?"

Newt grinned. "It was excellent! Oh, and Tommy, love, I finished the book last night." 

Thomas dropped his fork. He stood up and ran over to his husband, jumping into his arms. "OH MY GOD BABE! THAT'S AMAZING! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" He kissed him eagerly repeatedly, giggling. Newt swung him around, and he squealed. 

Once he had calmed down, he asked: "But what are you going to do now?"

His blonde husband pecked his nose. "Well, first of all, I'm going to take you to the canary islands. And then, we're going to do whatever you like!"

Thomas stared at him, his mouth wide open. "OH MY GOODNESS! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" He said, kissing Newt again. 

His husband laughed again. He felt like he was going to float away, he was so happy. "I love you too, love." He said.

He couldn't wait for the next chapter of their life together to start.
