Author notes: I decided to work on the Complexity Theorist Badge. This is for the prompts Performance Anxiety, Not What It Looks Like and Flight. This is also a drabble for SBIGTTS: Writing. Hope this is okay. Please tell me if it isn't.
Summary: Based on the following prompt on Fantastic Beasts Kink Meme: So I've been watching fbawtft interviews and there’s one story going around about eddie getting really nervous before going on stage at comiccon and colin farrell giving him a backrub and whispering to him to calm him down. I would love to see nervous panicking newt and percival (real graves please no grindelwald) calming him down and rubbing his back basically being really really sweet love me some fluff! :)



Since Newt released his book, it’s always the same before readings. Newt is standing behind the stage, worrying his scarf of handkerchief and basically panicking. He is always slowly working his way to a panic attack.

The moment Graves arrives to be with his husband, he sees this sorry sight and fears that Newt will choose FLIGHT over fight due to PERFORNANCE ANXIETY.

Immediately, he stands with his husband, rubbing the taught muscles in his back in a soothing manner and telling the attendant that comes running when she hears Newt’s appreciative moans that it’s NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
