Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympian
Chapter 6
Percy didn't expect the warm welcome of his father. He slowly lifted his arms to return his hug. Sally and Kelsi were amused by the scene. Sally was close to tears now. Finally his husband forgave his son. When they broke apart Percy's has teary eyes. "I'm sorry Dad." He apologized. "I'm sorry too for not understanding you." Poseidon replied. Sally approached the two and hugs them both. Kelsi then joined in. They laugh when they realized what they are doing. "Well that was first." Kelsi commented. "And look at that Percy is crying!" she teased. "Geez don't make it a big deal." Percy snorted. They laugh at him.
"Good to have you back son. How long are you staying?" Poseidon asked. "More or less 2 weeks." Percy replied. "I have two days off." He added. They chatted to catch things up. Percy couldn't be happier, his Dad finally forgave him and it looks like they are off for a good start. Percy spent his 2 days off with his family.

Percy's POV
After 2 days off, I went back to the recording studio. I knocked on Nico's office and peek inside, I saw him talking to a girl. He gestured me to come in. The girl then looked at me and I was mesmerized. It was Calypso. Nico cleared his throat to get my attention. I looked at him and he introduced me to Calypso. "This is Calypso". Percy offered his hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm …" "I know who you are. I think everybody knows." Calypso said while blushing. Percy then blushed. Nico just rolled his eyes.
"You two maybe wondering why I called for a meeting, well I have a good news for both of you." Nico started. "We decided that the two of you should do a song, a duet." "Really?" Percy asked excitedly. Nico chuckled. "It will be good for the both of you, especially for Calypso." Percy then looked at Calypso. Calypso met Percy's eyes and blushed.
After two days, the two started working on their duet. During these days they slowly got to know each other. Percy learned a lot of things about Calypso. On the other hand Percy can't tell who he really is. Percy had to tell those lies again. He felt so bad knowing that Calypso trust him but he can't risk it. He knows that he likes her but that doesn't mean he have to tell her. After two weeks of working, it finally paid off. They finished recording the song. All they have to do now is release the song.
Today they will launch their song. Fans, media and paparazzi were present. Nico briefed them first before the show starts. Calypso is nervous. This will be her first time. She can't keep still. Percy noticed her. He approached her. "Hey are you okay?" he asked. She looks at him and shook her head. She's now teary eyed. "I am so nervous. I feel like throwing up." She confessed. Percy holds Calypso's hand and squeezed it. "Don't be. I'll be right there beside you. You'll going to be great." He assured her. She smiled at Percy. His gesture helps to calm her. She then blushed knowing that Percy is still holding her hands.
Then the show started. Percy and Calypso were introduced and they have to perform their very first duet.
A/N (I think the song "Everything has changed by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran" is perfect for them. I do not own the song. )
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before
Calypso then looked at Percy. He looked straight in her eyes.
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
The two both singing not breaking their gaze to each other
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
Percy sings his part and hold Calypso's hand
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
But I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is he held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days, I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
They continued to hold hands for the rest of the song. They felt like nobody is around just the two of them. They were startled by the applause. They looked at each and to their hands that now intertwined. Percy smiled at her and she returned it. After their performance, they held the press conference. All in all it was a success.
After the launch, Percy and Caypso's relationship step onto another level. They started dating. This helps to promote their song. It became no. 1 for 4 weeks. They were both happy and so is Percy's family. Although they can't meet her but still they are happy for Percy. She seems like a nice girl.
They are now dating for four months. Fans adored them. They are branded as the cutest couple on Hollywood. Like every relationship they have their ups and downs. They fight but make up after a couple of hours. Jealousy is often the cause of misunderstanding but they managed to get it through. Their romance is not so private considering that they are popular. The paparazzi always follow them around.
Nico's POV
"Percy let's talk?" gesturing him to come inside my office. "What's up?" he asked. "How serious is this thing with Calypso?" I asked. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Cut the crap Percy. You know what I mean." I demanded. "I love her." He admitted. "I thought so." I replied. "So what are you going to do about it?"
He looked at me, "What do you mean, what I am going to do about it?" "Well you admitted that you love her, so are you going to tell her who is the real you?" I asked. He became quiet for a while. "No." he replied dryly. I raised my eyebrow. "Why?" He glared at me. "You know damn well why I shouldn't!" he snarled at me.
"No need to yell at me." I said calmly. "I hope you understand. It is my job as your manager and as your cousin to look out for you." I said. He sighed. "I know." He replied. "It's just hard making her believe all the lies." I patted his back. "When the time comes that you are ready to reveal yourself, you can tell her. I won't stop you. But right now, you need to take it slow." I advised him. He nodded. "Thanks man." He said and went out of my office.
