Reunited-A Reynico Fanfiction

[Chapter 12]

*3rd person pov*
  That night, Nico was lying down on the roof, looking at the stars. He saw Orion again. This time, it reminded him of Reyna fighting it. Her blessed cape, her lending strength to him...

  He thought about what he did wrong to her to make Reyna end up being Stefan's girlfriend.

  If he asked her first, would she be with him?

  The problem was that he didn't have the courage to risk the rejection. He was sure that she wouldn't like the 'pathetic son of Hades' in that way. (A/n: Noooooooo! Nico, you are not pathetic!)

  He wondered why she would even be friends with him.

  He wondered why he even had friends.

  Reyna was wondering why she decided to be Stefan's girlfriend. Normally, she would have said 'No'. After all, nobody knows the pain of heartbreak better than her.

  When Stefan asked her to be his girlfriend, she didn't even think before replying. It was like she was charmspoken by him.

  She knew she liked Nico. The more she tried to deny the fact, the cuter the ghost king looked. 'If only he would like me back.' She thought. She knew he couldn't. He was gay. Wasn't he?

  She turned her attention back to her papers, which were long gone. Frank took a lot of papers, and she had already finished her part.

  Reyna couldn't sleep. She was used to sleeping late (to Reyna, 'late' means like 2 am) ever since Jason disappeared.

  Jason.

  She didn't know why, but his name made tears fill her eyes. She thought she was over him. I guess she was not.

  Maybe it was because Aphrodite took two years from her.

  She never have hated Aphrodite this much. Aphrodite made her weakness, the one that she once had conquered, overpower her.

  Reyna bit her lip. This was her habit when she was 14. Something that Jason said before he disappeared made her stop biting her lower lip. She couldn't remember what he said, but it was "Your lips look so soft. I would be sad if you are the one to bite it, not me." (A/n: Ewwwww!) Thank Venus for erasing that part of her memory.

  Reyna decided to take a walk around camp, since she couldn't sleep. 'That would help me clear my mind.' She thought.

  She thought she saw Nico on the roof of the Hades cabin, but when she got closer, she didn't see anyone.

  "I must be tired. I should have gotten some sleep instead of walking around." She muttered to herself.

  When she was walking back to her room, she couldn't shake away the feeling that someone is looking at her.

  She didn't have a nightmare. She only saw Jason arriving with Piper and the greeks, but it was just a vision on a fountain.

  When she woke up, it was 4:00.

  She had a habit of not sleeping a lot.

  After breakfast, Stefan came to visit. He helped with her work, and cracked jokes. Though they weren't funny, Reyna smiled at the thought of someone trying to cheer her up.

  As he promised, nobody knew about their relationship, except for Nico-she didn't know that he was eavesdropping.

  Because she was occupied by Stefan, Reyna didn't notice Nico's glaring at Stefan. Maybe that's why she didn't know why his expression was gloomier than usual.
