Ways to Make you Smile

Threats

Nico's POV

I gave up on trying to catch Hazel after about 2 miles.

That girl can run.

I found myself in front of Reyna's office and walked in.

She was arguing with a blonde male looking around 17.

I decided to hide and find out more about their conversation.

Third person POV-

I told you, I can't.

Maybe you could make some time on your schedule. When are you free?
The blonde asked looking irritated.

Nico clenched his fist. Who was this idiot?

At this point Reyna was starting to get annoyed.
I'm sorry Dillan but whenever I'm not working I'm hanging out with Nico.

That's right Dillan, run along now.
Nico muttered to himself.

Why are you ALWAYS with that rotten kid of the underworld? If you don't stop hanging around him you're-

He'd gone too far.

Reyna stood up, knocking her chair to the ground in the process, and slapped him.

Even Nico was shocked by her sudden actions.

Enough, she breathed, You've said enough.

Dillan massaged his swollen cheek.
You're gonna regret this.

No, I don't think I will.

Nico was still shocked by the scene that had just unfolded in front of him before realizing Dillan was coming his way.

He got out of whatever trance he was in and waited for him to come.

Dillan looked up a moment too late and before he realized it he was pushed against the wall.

Nico held him by the collar of his shirt giving off a deadly aura.

Never come near her again, or I'll personally escort you to Tartarus.

Dillan nodded as Nico let go of his shirt.

Reyna's POV

I stood there, still angered by my encounter with Dillan before the sound of someone clearing their voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

I turned my head in their direction and was relieved to see Nico.

My smile quickly faded as I realized something.

Have you been there the whole time?

Uhh - he rubbed the back of his neck.

Maybe?

Gods I can't believe he would talk about you like that!

He looked at me sympathetically.
Its fine Rey.

No.Its not.

Well whatever he said about me is in the past now, so just forget it.

Nico- he cut me off before I could say anything else.

Either way I came here for something else.

I raised an eyebrow, the previous topic forgotten.
What is it?

Hazel took pictures of us while we were-er- cuddling.

I felt the heat rise to my cheeks as he said the word cuddling.

O-oh?

Yeah but there's more.

I looked at him questioningly.

She's also going to post them all over new Rome.

A/N: rushed chapter. I apologize for the late updates but I got writers block for awhile. Not to worry though! I m back and I will be updating more often ... Probably.
