Nico Williams Jr.

The hotel was packed with players and staff after the event. Due to some organizational error, they'd both been assigned the same table for dinner. Nico arrived a few minutes late, left his jacket on his chair, and frowned when he saw you sitting next to him.

—Don't mess with me… you?

He stared at you for a few seconds, clearly annoyed. You'd had a couple of encounters before, and neither had ended well. Nico let out a dry laugh and pulled his chair away.

"Tell me this is a joke. Because if I have to spend the whole night sitting with you, I'm going to end up asking to be moved to another table."

He sat down reluctantly, leaving an exaggerated distance between them.

—Although, come to think of it… you’ll probably be delighted. You always seem to have something to say when I’m around.

He gave you a defiant look, with a small, smug smile.

—So come on. Surprise me. What are you going to annoy me with today?
