I apologize for the spelling errors in the last chapter in regards to Calypso's name last chapter. The writing program I use isn't the best when it comes to Greek words, enjoy!
-Calypso's PoV-
By the time we were done the sun was setting in the west and we were in my bed panting. Percy buried his head in my hair which was frizzled and strung down my neck. I could feel his breath against my neck as we cuddled. I rested my head on his. His soft jet black hair relaxed me and made my breath slow down as I caught my breath. I kissed his head and he slowly moved his head away from mine. 'Calypso,' He said. His voice sent chill's down my spine. 'Yes?' I responded. He straightened himself up to be on the same level as me. Our eyes were level now. He looked at me intensely with his green eye's twinkling with passion. 'What now?' I went to answer but realized I couldn't answer. What do we do now? We'd spent the whole day with each other doing stuff I'll spare you details about but the point is I let him take him to take me and I'd only known him for a couple of weeks and he agreed to stay with me forever to avoid a prophecy that could end the world.
'I don't know.' I said, which was the truth because I wasn't sure what the future would entail. We stayed embrace for a few minutes, every minute or so he would snuggle with me and plant a kiss on my cheek or I'd repeat the action on him. I rested my head on his chest and pondered what to do next or even say. I could stay like that forever but he broke contact with me and sat up and he took the covers off himself and put his feet on the floor.
'Is something the matter?' I asked as he stood up. He turned to face me 'I'm going to go to my cave to umm freshened up.' I took his hand and got out of the bed to stand with him. 'You don't have to sleep in the cave anymore.' I said getting in as close as I could 'You can sleep in the house.' I lifted my face to be closer to his our noses touching 'with me.' He nodded going red. 'Um, ok I'd like that.' Something was wrong with him but I didn't want to make him more unconfrontable. 'I brushed his hair and he pulled away and shoved on his clothes. 'I'll see you later I guess.' He smiled as he left the room. I sat down on my bed and sighed. I felt a smile form on my face. Percy the boy I loved returned my affections. He was the one I wanted to stay with me on this island.
-Percy's PoV-
HOLY CRAP WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED! Just this morning I was sitting on the beach contemplating if I should return to the others and fight the Titan Lord Kronos and most likely face a horrible death or stay and be safe and for once have bright future with someone who I loved and who loved me. Well, at least I think I loved them. Every time I was near her I would get butterfly's in my stomach and when we touched I felt like all the worries that were brewing inside me melted away. I felt at ease around her...but there were people who need me too. Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover were the first name that sprang to mind. I at least knew Annabeth was safe but Grover and Tyson were a mystery. For all, I knew they could be injured or worse dead. But if I stayed... I would be safe. And all those things I said to Calypso I really meant it. She was one of the sweetest people I'd ever met and she loved me for who I am and not what I could be. I thought about all of this as I walked towards my cave. I was planning on taking all my stuff and moving into the house with her. In a weird way, I felt if I did that I could maybe stop the nightmares. Call it cheesy but I felt safe when I was around even though this island was probably the safest place for a half-blood right now. Camp Half-Blood was under threat.
I walked into the cave and went into the shower. This place may be old school but a least they've got plumbing if I had to do this like they did in the middle ages I would freak. I was surprised at myself that I remembered that since I'd never paid attention in history class (not like I could anyway). I hopped in the shower and let myself become wet. I was standing in the shower thinking about life having the usual shower thoughts. After what felt like hours I got out of the shower. The sun was just about to set and I put on some clean clothes.
I hear footsteps outside and I turn around. It was just like this morning only I saw who it was. It was Calypso. She was wearing a long white dress with a clip near her chest. 'Hello.' She said pulling the cloth away. 'Hey,' I said looking at her. 'You look Hot.' I blurted out by accident (Thanks a lot ADHD) She looked at me confused. 'Hot?' she asked tilting her head to the side. 'Is my face red? Am I sweating?' I laughed which made her look more confused. 'No it doesn't mean that.' She comes closer to me going red in the face. 'Then what does hot mean.' I started going red too. Why were things feeling awkward all of a sudden? Where was smooth Percy who could seduce a girl without even trying or realizing? I mean things didn't feel bad but something wasn't right. 'It means you find someone good looking.' I said with an awkward reassuring smile. 'And by good you mean attractive?' she asked leaning in like she did earlier. 'Um yeah,' I said. She leaned in even closer. We were millimeters apart 'Well I'm you find me hot.' I feel her grin on my face as she kissed me.
She pulled away after a few seconds of kissing and takes my hand. 'I came to ask you if you wanted to have dinner now. I'm very hungry.' I nodded realizing how hungry I was. I hadn't had anything to eat at all today. 'Um sure why not.' She smiled slightly as she started walking out the cave leading me with her hand. we walked through the garden towards the dinner table. We walked mostly in silence which I liked. For some reason, she calmed me down. I felt less unrestful and every time she talked about plants we passed I listened intently even if I wasn't interested which was usually hard because of ADHD. Anyway, we reached the table. I decided to sit right next to her because she hadn't let go of my hand yet and I just wanted to be closer to her. Despite all that happened I barely knew her. We talked while the Invisible servants served us a dish she called Souvlaki.
-Calypso PoV-
Percy was sitting there eating his dinner and for some reason it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I took off my sandals and starting talking to him. 'So Percy.' I said looking at him. 'How's the food.' He looked at me and smiled. 'It's really great.' He said looking me right in the eye and turned slightly to face me. I giggled because he had a little bit of sauce running out his mouth. I decided to play a little joke and lick the sauce running down his mouth. He started laughing really hard which made me laugh too. His laugh sounded like a melody of a gracious song. We stopped laughing and stared into each other's eyes. 'Percy.' I said. He looked at me with a wild look in his eyes. 'Yeah?' He asked lowering his shoulders. 'Are you really planning on staying here?' I brushed my hair out my face.
He paused and pressed his lips. 'Of course.' He put his arm around me. 'I'm glad you are staying.' I rested my head on his shoulder's. 'I barely know you.' He said straining himself up looking forward. 'That's a good thing.' I put my hand on his back. 'How?' He asked looking down at me. 'Calypso if I'm really going to stay with you I need to know who you really are.' He pulled away from me to face me completely. 'I can't' I said looking towards the ground. 'Why?' He asked 'Cause If I did I fear you wouldn't love me. He took my Hand.'No, no Calypso that isn't true.' He raised both my hands towards his chest. 'I don't care about what did in the Titan War or what you did to come here.' He put my hands on his chest and came in closer. 'I want to know who are you.' I sniffled. o one had ever shown me that type of affection before. I smiled 'What?' He asked. I lifted my foot and rubbed my foot against him. 'You really know how to make a Girl feel hot.' I hope I used that word right but I didn't care. I learned in him and gave him a kiss him.
We didn't break away for a few minutes till we couldn't breathe anymore. We looked at each other and smiled. 'No more secrets?' He asked taking my hand. I nodded 'Yes. No more secrets.' He got up out of his seat and took my hand to help me out of mine and we walked hand and hand through the garden. We talked for a while about random things and he asked what life was like all these years alone. 'How did you not go insane?' I paused and looked around. 'I'm not sure. I don't think the gods allowed it. I wasn't alone all the time. I had the occasional company of other heroes,' I looked at the floor as I felt a tear swell in my eye. 'You were the first to agree to stay.' I started to sob. He put his arm around and we sat down on a nearby bench. I put my hands on my head as he rubbed circles on my back and sunk his head down to my level. 'Hey, Hey.' He pleaded to get in closer. 'It's alright your okay now.' I sat up and so did he. He looked me deep in my eyes. They twinkled green with compassion. 'I'm here' I leaned in and put my head over his shoulder still hugging and sobbing but less now that I was in his embrace.
We sat there for a while. Minutes, hours I didn't care. We talked about us for a while. He shared with me stories about his school experiences. I'll admit I found it funny he'd be kicked out of every school but he was obviously very upset so I decided to hide it. I was in the middle of talking about my experience with Hephaestus when he started stroking my hair and smiling like a fool. 'What is it.' I asked looking up at him. He just kept looking at the back of my head. 'Oh, nothing.' I yawned realizing how late it was. 'I'm tired.' I said standing up. 'Perhaps we should consider going to rest.' I presented my hand to him and he took it I helped him get off the bench.
We walked towards the house and once we got in I felt a wave of weariness wash over me. There the living room lamp flicked as one of the servants blew them ut leaving us in a dark hall only lit by the bedroom light. 'well,' Percy said rubbing the back of his neck. 'I guess I should find a room or something.' I took his hand feeling my cheeks fluster. 'You can sleep with me if you like.' He grinned sweating a bit and nodded eagerly 'Yeah, okay cool.' We walked into the bedroom and changed into our nightwear. Thankfully the servants had put Percy clothes in the wardrobe so he could grab his without going to the cave. We laid on the bed and I put my head on his bare chest and smiled. 'Percy today has been the best day of my life.' I looked up and saw him smiling 'Yeah?' He asked 'Yes.' I rubbed my head against his chest. 'Today was my first time.' He said blushing 'Doing what?' I asked raising my head slightly 'Um, you know um.' He pointed at his crouch then mine and a whistle sound. I blushed really hard realizing what he meant. 'Oh,' I said putting my head back down and smiling again. 'It was my first time too.' He started to blush as hard as I was. 'Was I okay?' He asked starting to sweat. I looked up and kissed him 'You were great' He sighed with relief and I went back down to his chest. 'Calypso?' He said with his eyes closed. 'Yes?' I asked. He smiled from ear to ear and blew out the light. 'I love you.' He played with my hair. and kissed my head. 'I love you too.' I said closing my eyes. I kissed his chest and fell asleep. Percy. The one I loved, was here with me in my bed. And for once in thousands of years. I felt at peace.
