Leo was back. Not from the dead, apparently, but back. He looked older to Percy, as if he had grown up wherever he had been. Older but happier, with Calypso's fingers laced into his. Piper was wiping tears from her eyes (the gods in Olympus probably heard her shouts) and everyone was laughing. They were sitting in a ring: the seven of the prophecy, Calypso, Will and Nico, all eating strawberries on the hill.
"You okay, Seaweed brain?" It was Annabeth, lacing her fingers with his.
He nodded, "yes. I'm okay. A little shocked but-"
He was interrupted by Leo tapping his shoulder. Turning his head he saw something he hadn't seen for a long time, Leo looking serious.
"Percy, Percy I'm sorry- hi..."
Percy smiled, perhaps he hadn't completely grown up yet, "hi Leo, how's life?"
Leo smiled, "grand, mate."
"Not too much work?"
"No, not really. I'm thinking of owning a garage though..." for a moment Leo seemed lost in his own thoughts before returning to Percy, "with Calypso. It's okay, right? Me and her?" He tapped his fingers on the grass.
Percy laughed, "Leo, gods Leo it's completely fine! Absolutely fine! Better than fine!" He sat up straighter and leaned on Annabeth, who smiled and bit into a strawberry, "what I'm trying to say is that it's okay."
Leo was about to say something when Nico leaned into the conversation , "you see, Leo- She's not his type..."
Percy smiled and patted Nico's head before he went back to his previous conversation with Will.
"Any way, I'm happy, Leo, " said Percy, "I've got Wise Girl over here
Annabeth kissed his cheek, "and he's not getting rid of me that easily."
"No, " Percy smiled at her, "no. We've been going out for what- seven- eight years now? I believe it's high time we got married."
And that's when everyone stopped.
