"I'm not interested in dating someone right now" You say to Denzel, even without him asking you to feel the need to make things as clear as possible.
"Ok, " He says raising his hands from the table. "Let me know when you're ready, " He doesn’t look mad, he acts pretty cool about it, and that was really strange.
Denzel isn’t a flirty guy, you haven't seen him talking with someone while working or asking for girls’ numbers.
He isn’t like that at all. But he is pretty forward with you.
You finish cleaning some tables and open the club.
The music is louder than usual and it made you feel a little dizzy and lost.
So you go upstairs into your office, not being in the mood to be at the bar joking with some clients.
"Y/n, there's someone who wants to talk to you"
It is Denzel, who spoke to you through that door. “Let them in"
You say without turning to gaze the mysterious guest.
"Hi, Y/n.” You could recognize that voice literally anywhere.
"Hey, Nico, how are you, what are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to give this to you.” She places a fire gun on your desk.
It is perfect with little details on it, it means it’s yours.
"A 9 millimeter just like you asked.”
"It’s beautiful Nico" You comment in awe.
The 1911 pistol could be better. It had a nickel finish with pearl grips and your father's name engraved on the side.
It is exactly what you wanted.
“Thank you." Nico shrugs her shoulders.
"It's one of my finest" She says like a proud mother. "But I'm not here only for that, I want to ask you something. I don’t know why, but Nero has been a lot grumpier than usual and the other day when you came to my shop, I saw that you didn't talk to each other.”
"It didn't work out, Nico, that's all I can say."
Her surprise is genuine.
"I had no idea, he told me everything was fine."
"Maybe it was, for him."
"No, no, no, you don't understand, he's always complaining. He seems angry all the time and since I know him, he lost all his appetite, that's not good in any way."
"Well, there's nothing I can do, he chose to be this way and I'm not in the mood to keep talking about him."
Nico sighs.
"Yeah, I get it, sorry for bothering you, but you know he's my friend and I want him to be happy, even if we fight a lot I really appreciate his company.”
"I know, Nico, thank you for bringing me this.”
It’s s a slow night.
Nico had left a couple of minutes before and you aren't so sure to stay till closing time, so you go ahead, call Denzel and tell him you are leaving early.
It isn’t a professional thing to do, but you don't feel well.
What Nico told you, made you think about Nero again.
Maybe he wasn't happy with his decision, maybe he wanted you back.
Maybe just maybe.
You are walking down the street still thinking about him, when you hear some wicked laugh.
It causes you to turn around and see a group of demons coming for you.
