Okay so I revised this so it makes a little more sence now. Thank you to Hecete's Horcrux and Hannah (guest) for their help. Enjoy and please review!
I thought I was normal. Or as normal as a fire resistant, 16 year old, son of Hephaestus could be. I certainly didn't think he would be the only person to return to Calypso's island. After the war, when each of the seven plus Nico were offered a reward. Many choose to live a life free of the gods. Me, I took a leaf out of Percy's book. In other words, I chose love. After a heart wrenching goodbye from the seven ( Piper and Hazel were crying) I set off on newly rebuilt Festus to find Calypso. Now we live happily on her island together. Yes its hard to have to lose modern conveniences such as cell phones but my friends and I Iris message often and Guess what? Percy and Annabeth are having a baby! Someday, I hope for me and Calypso to be like that. Young and in love with a family...Speaking of Calypso, where was she?
" Calypso! Where in Hades are you?" I found myself yelling after her.
" Here! In the workshop!" A sweet, melodic voice answered me. When I came back we built Leo and Calypsos workshop and home for lost demigods. You see, the fates could have stopped sending men here now that Calypso was happy, but Nooo they had to keep sending them. Only now there are men and women and they come so often we had to build a place for them to stay. None of them ever returned. Sad, but at least I have my Cali. Forever.
Speaking of my Cali she is walking towards me now. Wait is she blushing?! " Cali what's wrong!" I scanned for any visible bruises. I gasped at what I saw
" Leo?" She asked tentatively and took a step towards me. I walked towards her meeting her halfway across the room. She was wearing a flowy white dress shirt which was nothing new, but with it she was wearing a pair of my oldest, grimmest overalls. It was the prettiest thing I had ever seen in my life.
" You look...like.. Wow!" I muttered. Yep that's me. Leo the very articulate boy.
" What is somthing on my face?" She said worriedly.
" NO! You um, justlookreallygoodinmyoveralls." I exclaimed. Yea, I really need to work on my speech. She looked at me like I was insane. " I mean, you look really pretty in my overalls. Not that your not otherwise ! You're beautiful!" I bellowed. Smooth Leo, smooth.
" Thank you Leo." She kissed my cheek. I put my hand up to the spot where she kissed me. It tingled.
"
I love you, Calypso." Did I really say that?! Great Leo now she's gonna kick you over to the other side of the island. Bye bye happiness!
" I love you too Leo." She said shyly. Wait, what! She loves me! YES! I snapped out of congratulating myself when she laced her fingers into mine. As we walked off to the cave for dinner I knew, all those years ago, I had made the right decision to chose love.
