Hey y'all! I just wanted to post a two-shot (or maybe three...I'm not sure.) of Calypso and Leo's cuteness. Before I read the book, when I saw a lot of people pairing Leo and Calypso, I was disgusted. I thought that Leo and Calypso's meeting was just like Percy's. Meaningless. But then I read the book, and I understood. I was a fool for being a non-believer. (LOL. XD) So as soon as the Leo and Calypso chapter ended, I instantly wrote a chapter about them (even though I hadn't finished the book back then) and decided to post it here. :D Hooray! I hope you guys like, and if you want the next chapter posted, just review, okay? :3
Calypso couldn't understand why Leo didn't leave already. There was the magic raft. He could go to where his friends were. So why hadn't he? When Leo had turned around to face her, she only now noticed how close he was to her. She flushed, and she hoped Leo didn't notice.
His face was covered in soot and dirt, his hair was longer than he had first arrived, and definitely messier and more unmanageable, and he was so scrawny that she could have easily knocked him down. Compared to the other heroes she's encountered, he was a joke. He looked like he wasn't capable of being a hero.
So why had she grown fond of the boy?
"The raft finally got here," Leo said, snapping her out of her thoughts. Calypso merely snorted, like she was going to burst out laughing, but in all honestly, she was ready to break down crying. She pushed her emotions down her stomach. She did not want to confess anything. Especially to this weakling. "You just noticed?" She replied.
"But if it only shows up for guys you like-" Calypso didn't even let him finish his sentence.
"Don't push your luck, Leo Valdez," she snapped. "I still hate you." Leo looked unconvinced, but otherwise he nodded.
"Okay." He replied.
"And you are not coming back here," she insisted. "So don't give me any empty promises." Leo smiled, looking defiant.
"How about a full promise?" He said, giving her his elfish, but yet at the same time sweet smile. Calypso widened her eyes. "Because I'm definitely-"
Calypso grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss. Shut up, Leo, she thought. She enjoyed that kiss with Leo. She wanted it to last forever, if not, a little longer, but she knew he had to go, or else the magical raft might disappear, stranding him here with her. She was tempted, but she knew that Leo had to help his friends, so she broke the kiss. Instantly, she felt embarrassed and annoyed at the son of Hephaestus.
"That didn't happen." Calypso insisted, glaring at Leo.
"Okay."
"Get out of here."
"Okay."
She looked away, wiping away the tears like a madman. She did NOT want Leo to see him crying. The boy's annoying enough as he is. She didn't want him teasing her about liking him. When she turned to look at him one last time, she was too late. The raft was nowhere to be seen. Calypso shook her head furiously.
No, he can't be gone already! He got away too fast! Calypso sniffed. It was probably for the best. She didn't want to hurt more than she already did.
Still, she thought. Zeus, couldn't you have made him stay a little longer? Was does that too much to ask?! She wanted to shout, but her voice failed her. Instead, she sobbed, hard. She had never felt this strongly for any other boy before, so she had shed more tears, the thought of never seeing Leo again fresh on her mind. She was crying up to the point where there were no more tears to be shed, but she felt like she needed to excrete more.
After a while, she decided to stop crying. No point in crying now, she'll just have to move on and wait for another hero to end up lost in this island. Assuming Zeus and the other gods forgot about her and just left her here. And assuming the gods will be kind or cruel enough to stop making random heroes end up on Ogygia. But still, she just couldn't make herself forget Leo Valdez as easily as the others.
