[If Paris didn't happen, Theseus would've said this is the first time in years that Newt initiated any sort of physical contact with him. But even counting that time, that was because Theseus needed someone-- his brother at the time. Because of Leta, because of the loss of his fiancé.
But this time, Newt needs him.
He carefully wraps both of his arms around Newt, mindful of his injury, but keeps him in a close hug with no intention of letting him go. Theseus isn't sure what's happened or what's really going on still, but all of those thoughts are pushed to the back of his mind as he lets Newt break down against him. Those things can wait, right now he wants to be here for his brother in any way he can.]
I'm here now. I got you.
[Newt's strong, stronger than how he appears most of the time, so Theseus feels his heart clench at the thought of something breaking him down like this. He's just glad that he's now here to help him. Newt won't be alone.]
