chapter 8

What if Percy wound up on Calypso's island again and decided to stay?

Series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Percy Jackson sighed at how his life had been ever since he discovered that he was the son of Poseidon, God of the Seas, and was sent to the boot camp to learn to control his powers.

He had faced off against numerous kinds of mythical creatures, and had to deal with Annabeth, daughter of Athena, who was giving him a headache.

The reason as to why Annabeth was giving him such headache was because she was comparing him with Luke.

It irritated him because Annabeth apparently forgot that the guy was working with KRONOS, the guy who was wanting to overthrown Olympus. But no, she still was pawing after that guy even after all the shit he put them through.

'Why do I even bother to deal with her?' Percy asked himself mentally annoyed.

He was getting tired of this stuff, especially when he went through all that trouble to save her, but that apparently wasn't enough for her.

"Maybe I should go somewhere else to cool off..." He said while chuckling at his own pun.

He made his way past the shore and began to swim around in the water near the camp.

'Now then...where should I go?' He wondered.

He noticed he was a little bit away from camp and began to swim back, but found himself being pulled back away and farther out towards the seas.

"Goddamn it!" Percy cursed as he was dragged away by the water.

He tried to will the water to send him back to camp, but found that the water didn't listen and kept pushing out to sea.

"WHERE IS THIS WATER DRAGGING ME?!" Percy screamed.

His answer came in the form of a large wave that submerged his whole form under the water and caused him to hit his head against the bottom, causing him to black out while the currents carried him to an island.

Unknown to him, arriving at that island would change his life forever...

Percy soon began to feel a light breeze on his face which began to slowly stir him awake.

'Ugh...Where...am I?' Percy thought as he began to recover.

He pushed himself up and found himself in a soft bed that overlooked the shores of the island he was apparently on.

"Nice view, isn't it?" A voice said and a surprised Percy turned around to face the owner.

"Calypso?" asked Percy as he stared at the daughter of Atlas whose island he had wound up on before.

"Yes Percy, it's me." She smiled.

"How are you feeling?" asked Calypso sitting next to him on the bed.

"Fine right now. So I'm on your island..." Percy's answer was a nod from Calypso.

"Yes, I was surprised to see you wash up here. Like I said before, the Fates usually make sure heroes I've met never find their way back." replied Calypso with a sad look.

Percy actually felt sad for Calypso upon hearing that.

It was true. Any hero that washed up on her shores was healed and treated kindly by her, but the Fates made sure each hero had responsibilities away from the island, making them leave because she had grown to love them. This was her punishment for the simple reason of being the daughter of Atlas.

"Well, then it must be your lucky day since I'm here yet again." Percy joked, which made her smile and giggle.

After Percy's joke, both found the silence a little awkward as they remembered their last and first encounter. It was sad for both as Percy knew he could never forget Calypso. Calypso figured she would meet a new hero instead of the same one she had just met, which was odd.

"So how had you been, Percy?" Calypso asked curious about his adventures.

"Terrible. After I saved Annabeth from you're father, she keeps comparing me to Luke, even though he's the reason she wound up captured in the first place." replied Percy sighing.

Calypso was surprised upon hearing that, "But it can't be that bad...right?" She asked.

"It is. She didn't even thank me for what I did, and I basically held up the sky itself, but she still thinks that's not enough."

"Seriously?! But that's just unbelievable!" Calypso was now curious.

"You're telling me. I'd rather hang out with you than her." replied Percy not realizing what he just said.

Calypso stood there surprised before blushing while smiling.

Percy realized what he said and now felt even more embarrassed than her.

"I-I mean t-that...I-" Percy tried to say before blushing.

Calypso smiled and kissed Percy on the cheek before standing up and giving him some privacy.

'Perhaps...it won't be so bad living here for a while...' Percy thought before resting.

The next week or two had been heaven for Percy and Calypso.

They began to spent time by telling each other about their adventures.

Percy had more adventures than Calypso due to her imprisonment, but she also told stories she had heard from countless heroes she had met.

And thus they keep each other entertained as they spent time with each other.

They'd watch the sunset and even walk hand in hand near the beach as the waves made soothing sounds that was like music to them.

Not only that, but also Calypso made sure that her servants treated him like royalty.

All in all, it was better than being on Olympus itself.

That made Percy wonder why some heroes like Odysseus abandon this place, but then again the mentioned had to return to his family.

But now that he thought about it, what was his reason for leaving? Annabeth didn't respect him, he was getting tired of being pulled in by this so called prophecy, and being compared to that backstabbing Luke was irritating. So the real question was, why should he leave?

'Maybe I could stay here. Heck, even ask Calypso if my mother can live here!' Percy thought.

While Percy was thinking that, Calypso herself felt torn between asking him to stay and worrying he'll leave her again.

And that's even if fate allowed them to be together since for all Calypso knew Percy would leave one day and never come back.

'I need to try and get him to stay. He really is the greatest man I've ever met.' thought Calypso who needed to tell Percy the truth.

Meanwhile, Percy hoped that Calypso allowed him and his mother to live with her.

'I have to ask her now.' thought Percy as he turned towards Calypso.

Unknown to him, Calypso also went to search for him.

Percy was situated on the bed he had slept in on both his visits and saw Calypso make her way over to him.

"Ah Calypso! I was about to go looking for you..." Percy said.

"Same here, Percy..." replied Calypso feeling a little nervous.

"Umm...well, y-you could go first then." Said Percy embarrassed.

"Alright. Percy, I came here with a selfish request. I know you have others who will miss you, but if you leave, I'll miss you. This time we've spent has truly allowed us to know one another. To be blunt, I want you to stay with me."

Percy was surprised before he smiled.

"Well, the truth is Calypso, I actually wanted to tell you that I'd like to stay. I mean I do want my mom to come here to so she doesn't worry, but I mostly want to stay because you've helped me. You've given me peace when the world is constantly against me, including the Olympians. So to be blunt as well, I'd like that very much."

Calypso was very happy by that answer that she didn't even minded having Percy's mother living in her island.

"Alright Percy, but I have one more request." smiled Calypso.

"And that is?" He asked.

Calypso closed her eyes and puckered her lips.

Percy was shocked before he gave in to the kiss.

Both of them felt a rush of warmth spread through them as they simply enjoyed this moment and held hands.

Eventually they separated but still held hands.

"So, does this mean what I think it means?" asked a hopeful Percy.

"Yes, if you want to." Calypso smiled.

Percy's response was to press his lips against hers in excitement.

They kept making out until they fell asleep together.

(Epilogue)

After establishing their new relationship, Percy went ahead and contacted his mom on what had happened.

Percy's mother was surprised before going onto the island and meeting Calypso, which them made her approve of her son's relationship.

And while Percy did hear word from his father Poseidon, who was worried, Percy explained on how he was done with camp and decided to stay with Calypso.

Poseidon eventually accepted Percy's reasons and even gave his blessings.

Percy himself couldn't be any happier. Who cares about that stupid prophecy when he had a wonderful girlfriend and his mom on this island? Not him, that's for sure.
