There are copious amounts of lovely prompts & fills featuring Theseus being protective of his precious baby brother. Let's swap this around a bit.
Theseus and Percival have been in a secret relationship since meeting in Europe in the aftermath of WW1. Homosexuality is still taboo in the Wizard World, and criminised in muggle one. The Scamanders are a loving family but Theseus just can't bring himself to tell them about Percival for fear they will be ashamed of him. He can't bear the thought of Newt, who means the absolute world to him, looming at him like he is a disappointment.
In the aftermath of Grindelwald, Theseus heads straight to tend to his poor boyfriend in New York and Newt accidentally stumbles upon his brother and the rescued Graves kissing fervently. He doesn't even blink.
What DOES horrify him is how afraid his normally fearless elder brother looks. How could Theseus ever believe Newt would stop loving him?! He very firmly reminds his big brother that he adores him and this is not going to change!
Theseus/Graves - fear of judgement. Newt finds out.
