Don't You Dare - A Reynico Fanfic

Chapter 33

3rd person's POV

     At last Nico pulled away. "It's late, c'mon you should eat something and sleep." : he said. "Always looking out for my well-being." : Reyna chuckled. "That's your boyfriend's job." : Nico replied, smirking, he stood and walked to the kitchen for a bottle of water. The word 'boyfriend' sent a jolt of electricity through Reyna's spine. She'd never had a boyfriend before, or anything even close to that. As Nico returned, he saw the startled look on Reyna's face. "Um, I mean if you don't want to be my girlfriend yet that's totally fine, we could just be like besties that kiss sometimes or someth-." : he stammered. Reyna cut him off with a laugh, "Neeks, I would love to be your girlfriend. It's just that... this is all new to me, I've never been in a relationship before." Relief flooded into Nico's face. "Neither have I. But hey, we'll figure this out together."

     He passed her the bottle. "Thanks." : she said, taking a sip and standing, "as your girlfriend, it's also my job to look out for your well-being." Reyna buckled on her sword, "I'll take first watch. Sleep tight Neeks." She pecked him on the lips and turned for the stairs.

Reyna's POV

     I sat on the roof of the villa, deep in thought, thinking about the future, what might happen after this quest, if we even survived. I loved Nico, it wasn't just a crush anymore, crushes were illogical, based on looks and didn't focus on the other person. What I felt for Nico was beyond his looks, it was his personality and who he was as a person. The things he did for the people around him, being Bob's only friend, transporting the athena parthenos though he knew the effort might kill him, and it nearly did on multiple occasions. Even going through tartarus to find the doors of death by himself. 

     I was so consumed by my thoughts, that I didn't hear the near silent footsteps of someone approaching from behind me. I whirled round in time to stab one cynocephali in the stomach, only to see a spear shaft swinging right towards my face, and then everything went black.
