The Sun Returns

"Nico! Is that you?" Will asked, approaching them.

'Is it too late to run?' Nico wondered, but knew the answer, "Yeah, Will, it's me."

Will was in front of them now, his blue eyes brightened with recognition, "Leo? Wow, I heard you came back from Percy, but-"

Nico interrupted, "Will I would like to catch up, but we're actually in a hurry..."

"We can stick around for a bit Nico" Leo cut in, "It would be rude to leave now, and we just got our food."

Leo struggled to hold back a smirk as Nico glared at him.

Will, oblivious to it, or used to it, ignored the dark look Nico held, "I have a table, we can sit and talk. You wouldn't have to stay long, though I'm curious, why would you guys be here together? You weren't friends the last I checked."

Nico answered before Leo could, "Leo and I are dating, we're on a date now."

"Oh, I shouldn't keep you, though Nico, let's meet up sometime." Will flashed a charming smile and left.

Nico quickly dragged Leo's by his arm out of the restaurant.

"Nico, hold up! I'm still holding their trays! Nico!" Leo cried.

Nico finally stopped, "Just hurry up! I don't care, let's just get out of here!"

"Nico, are you ok?"

"I will be when we leave."

Leo hurried back in and came out minutes later with a bag of their food in to-go boxes.

Silently, Leo and Nico walked back to the hotel, but Leo hadn't failed to notice the light blush that littered Nico's cheeks.
