you’re newt’s best friend and lab partner, you’ve been the bestest of friends for years since you first started working together, you’re aware of how much newton hates the guy who works in the other lab, hermann gottlieb. they’ve never got on and constantly argue about who’s ideas are better, one day both you and newt are working, him tinkering around with a piece of machinery he’s been working on and you scribbling on your chalk board. “I’m going for lunch with someone today, I hope you won’t miss me too much!” you say softly, he turns to you and looks confused because the two of you have lunch together everyday, he pushes his glasses up. “u-uh, right.. with who?” he asks calmly, you swallow hard before replying. “hermann.” you mutter, newt’s eyes widen and he looks hurt and angered by this. “gottlieb? are you shitting me? that pretentious bastard?” he shouts, his fists clenched at his sides.
