Reynico One-Shots

[A ring. Can you believe it?]

ReynicoHOOfanfic 's request!
Well you've requested 'planning to propose' but... welp. Let's just go on.
I hope you like it...

I'm sitting at my favorite cafe in New Rome, the very place I kissed Nico for the first time.

It was during one of those friendly visits from Camp Half Blood. I was getting flirted by some of those annoying greek boys. (Seriously, I still don't understand. Why me? There were plenty of pretty Venus girls here.) I was about to risk my dignity of a praetor and slap them and say some bad words when Nico suddenly appeared next to me and teleported(shadow-traveled) me to my office.

I thanked him for saving my life. Then I started to fuss about his skin being too pale. I asked him if he ate anything before he came, and if he had enough sleep. I still remember what he said then.

'I think I'll be less pale if you buy me some hot chocolate.'
Looking back, that was a son of hades-style of a date request.

So a few minutes later, we were awkwardly sipping hot chocolate at the very table I'm sitting at right now. Then I caught him looking at my lips. I saw his cheeks turn scarlet as he quickly averted his gaze to his cup.

Things got too awkward for poor Nico, so I decided to make the first move; I leaned over and kissed him.

His surprised face was so cute I became so glad I did that. 'Um...' he said after he found his voice. 'Reyna, will you-'

'Yes.' I said without listening to the rest of the question.

Then I saw him smile the happiest smile I've ever seen from him. He leaned over too kiss me, which lasted for several minutes. From then, we started dating.

And that was 5 years ago.

Five years! Can you believe it? I'm still surprised he hasn't left me yet, like the other boys.

He kept telling me that he won't leave me, and that if someone's going to leave, it was going to be me if I get sick of the darkness.

And every time he says that, I tell him the darkness is exciting, unlike the paperwork I've been signing or the complaints I've been reading. And I tell him that I'm never going to leave him no matter what.

Then we would have more cheesier conversations until it gets dark...

I sip my cup of hot chocolate. The sun is going to set soon. I hope Nico comes in time to see the sunset together.

Nico likes the sunset. We watched it a few more times before, from the Hades cabin roof, under the statue, and in this cafe, too.

I sip more of my hot chocolate. I had ordered his coffee, too. He's on his way here from CHB. He said he'd come in 5 minutes, so should be here by now.

I see his black silhouette coming. He nods a 'hello' to the owner of this cafe and greets me with a peck on my cheek. As he sits in front of me, I notice him being a little more nervous than usual.

We talk about things like Mrs. O'Leary's newborn cup or news between the two camps.

The sun is setting. We stop to admire it. It's beautiful, even though we know it's just Apollo going home from his work.

In the corner of my eye, I see him take a small box out of his pocket.

Wait.

IS HE GOING TO-

I pretend not to notice anything.

"Reyna," he takes a deep breath.

OH MY GODS HE'S KNEELING
AND THERE IS A RING!
A RING!!!

Nico opens his mouth to say more, but

"Yes!" I say without listening to the rest of the question.

He smile, and oh, his smile the happiest smile I've ever seen from him.

He pulls me into a kiss. This is gonna be the happiest moment of my life.

There's a silver ring on my finger.

A ring. Can you believe it?
