Anyways, so I really have no idea whether how this is going to end, I'm as much in the dark about who Calypso ends up with as you are! But I'm really happy you guys enjoyed it and want me to continue, so here goes nothing :) Enjoy! And as always, please review and tell me if you liked it/didn't like it and why or what your favourite parts were. Constructive criticism is very welcome!
Calypso couldn't believe it. He was here. No one ever came back, it was against the law...and no one else had ever cared enough to even try. They all had other people waiting for them. The faces of all the heroes she had loved flashed one after the other in her mind. All handsome and strong, yet Leo, the only one she didn't immediately fall in love with, was the one who came back. For me, he came here for me, she thought. Wiping away her tears she stood up and screamed, letting all her frustrations out. Stuck on Ogygia with her curse was torture, but now that Leo was here, she didn't know what to do.
After he left, she tried so hard to forget him. She told herself that no one could come twice to Ogygia. Previous heroes had told her they would come back for her, but none had succeeded. Maybe they didn't even try. So why should Leo be any different? But in a corner of her heart, she hoped that he would, and in an even smaller part of her heart, she knew he was trying to get back to her already.
Then Mark came. He was extremely good-looking and Calypso noticed that immediately. She was shy around him and her heart fluttered when he came near, but it wasn't the same. She realized that the gods made her fall in love with every hero, but Leo was the only one that she chose to love. Leo was the only one who wasn't sent by the Olympians.
But she told herself she had to let go. And she tried, she really did! It wasn't hard to fall in love with Mark. But even when he told her he was choosing to stay, she was still haunted by Leo. Every kiss that they shared, she enjoyed because it wasn't Mark she saw, but Leo. She knew she was holding back, not letting herself love Mark completely, because...she just couldn't forget Leo.
But months passed, and her hope started to fade, and, gods forbid, but her memory of Leo was starting to fade. She remembered his laugh, the feel of his lips against hers, his muffled yelp of surprise as she kissed him, but it was the memory of his love for her that was disappearing. After all, if he really loved her, wouldn't he be here? And she started to doubt that he would ever come back.
And now he was here, right when she had started to really let go and let herself be happy with Mark. And Mark was a great guy, he was handsome, funny, kind, and he sang with and to her. But seeing Leo had brought back the many memories she had forced herself to push away.
Calypso sank to the ground, no longer crying or shouting. Instead, she looked up to the sky and prayed to Aphrodite.
"Aphrodite, I know you've cursed me to fall in love with a lot of heroes, so I think you owe me. I just want to know, is Leo the one for me? Or is Mark?"
She waited for an answer, hoping beyond hope. When the silence continued, she sighed and got up. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she spun around and found herself staring into the beautiful eyes of Leo Valdez.
"Now, honey, I thought we figured the answer to that a long time ago." Leo said with a smirk. Calypso glared at him, but the corners of her lips turned up involuntarily. Leo hesitated, then drew her towards him. Calypso rested her head on his chest, loving the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around her. She tilted her head up to look at him, and Leo smiled. He leaned forward and kissed her sweetly.
Calypso smiled. "That was nice," she whispered. And it was, but she was also shaking inside, with nervousness and worry. She still had no idea what to do.
Leo sighed in relief and happiness. "Listen Calypso, I just want to tell you that I lo-"
Calypso turned and ran away, not wanting to hear the words that would break her heart.
