Reunited-A Reynico Fanfiction

[Chapter 15]

  Reyna's eyes widened.

  Reyna was surprised. Nico disgusts parties. He hates dancing. He loathes dancing in parties even more! At least that's the Nico she knew. Why would he ask her to dance?

  At the same time, she was indescribably happy. She liked him, after all. She just didn't show it.

  Then she realized that she would look like an owl with her eyes that wide. (No offense Minerva or Athena) she soon recovered to her original calm face and said "Sure."

  The next song just happened to be a slow song. Yep. It just happened. It's not like Piper convinced the Stolls. Right?

  Reyna nervously put her hand on Nico's shoulder and held his hand. (In a slow dance position)

  She was very thankful of the dance lessons Gwen gave her.

  It was like a dream.

'If this is a dream,' she thought, 'I won't wake up.'

  The song ended before she knew, and they were at the side again.

"Reyna!" She turned around to see that Percy called her from the food table.

"Come here. You've got to see this!"

  She looked at where Nico was, but he was gone.

  She sighed as she walked to the direction of Percy and others.

'He's gay. He won't like me in that way.' She thought over and over.

  Nico watched Reyna walk towards Percy, Annabeth, and others. He had shadow-traveled up a tree outside the party, but he could see them.

"You like her, don't you?"

  Nico almost fell from his branch. He looked down to see Hannah.

  She climbed up and sat next to him on that branch while holding two ice-cream cones. He wondered how she did that.

"Ice-Cream?" Hannah handed him a purple ice-cream cone. Purple like Reyna's dress.

'Stop it, Nico.' He thought as he licked the ice cream.

  Normally he would have said that he wasn't hungry. But now, his mind was too busy. Maybe he should have not left her. Then something might have happened.

"So do you like her?" Hannah asked.

"No. I don't. I don't like Reyna. I don't like her in that way." Nico replied.

"You know, I didn't say it was Reyna. I just said 'her'." Hannah told Nico.

  Oops.

"You do like her." Hannah said.

"Was it that obvious?" He asked.

"You asked her to dance. Even I know that you don't like to dance. But I don't think most people noticed that you were dancing. They were busy dancing themselves and doing couple-y stuff. And you know what? Drew only danced with two people. She was too busy flirting to dance! Most of the boys she flirted already had girlfriends. Isn't that funny? I don't know why Drew flirts with them. It's not like hey-"

  Hannah was talking, but Nico didn't listen. No. He couldn't listen. He saw Reyna dancing with somebody else. Even though she wasn't his girlfriend and she didn't look too happy to dance with that boy, he was jealous.

  Hannah was looking at Reyna and Nico dancing together. Whatever Piper and Lacy did, they did a good job. Nico and Reyna were slow-dancing and it looked like they would do the eww, couple stuff like kissing or something.
