It was windy in 200m altitude. Leo and Calypso were momentarily flying over the Us country on Festus, both already exhausted. After Leo had freed Calypso from her island they traveled first through the whole world, from Crete, Calypso's birth place, to Asia, to Australia and now they flew back to Camp Half-Blood. Leo wanted to show Calypso the world first before they returned to Camp Half-Blood, because of the things she had missed when she was imprisoned. As Leo looked back at her, he still couldn't believe that anyone would imprisoned this sweet and lovely girl. Sure she was sometimes sarcastic and fiery, but that was what Leo loved about her. Yes, he said love. In the time he spend on Ogygia, he revealed so many of his deepest secrets to her. She didn't screamed at him, she didn't pity him, she gave him the warmness and understanding that he needed. And that was what he loved about her: her caring side, but also that she would never back down in a fight. Leo still couldn't believe that she was his girlfriend now. In his life he was always rejected by all the girls he flirted with and now he got the most wonderful and beautiful from all of them.

He suddenly felt how Calypso wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. He turned around to her to see her with wet tears. He immediately got worried.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked her carefully.

Calypso smiled at him. "I just wanted to thank you, for freeing me from that curse. I…I never thought that someone would ever come back for me. But you did. And you broke the curse, which was impossible to break."

Leo grinned at her. "You should know that nothing is impossible for the McShizzle."

Calypso smiled tiredly at him then looked down. "Do you regret rescuing me?" She questioned with a small voice.

Calypso's answer shocked him. How could she think that? "No, no, not a bit. Why would you think that?"

Calypso still didn't look at him. "Well, you almost died just to save me, a Titan's daughter. And I don't know if your friends will accept me because of my heritage."

Leo shut her up with a kiss. "Calypso, I love you, alright. I don't regret a second of what I've done. And my friends will be delighted to see you, I'm sure of that. Don't worry about that."

Calypso smiled at him gratefully, then hugged him tightly. They remained in this position until they finally arrived Camp Half-Blood. The camp didn't change much over the past few months. Leo could see a crowd of demigods following the spectacle astonishing. It was not everyday that they saw two person riding a mechanical dragon over the camp. When they finally landed Leo could her someone crying loudly: "LEO VALDEZ!"

He got off the bronze mechanical dragon and saw his best friend and surrogate sister Piper running towards him. Her face mirrored a mix of anger and happiness as she ran over to him.

"Hey Beauty Queen." he cried at her grinning. The next thing he felt was a fist in his face. He fell to the ground, touching the place where she had hit him and looking incredibly at her.

"What was that for?" He cried.

Piper wiped some tears from her eyes. "That was for leaving us and letting us think that you were dead!" And then she gave him a bear hug.

"And that was for returning to us." Tears were running down her face. Leo hugged her back. He felt terrible for making Piper upset. The whole time she was whispering You're back, you're back as the continued to hug him. A few minutes later he felt a lot more person to join the hug. He saw Frank, Hazel and Annabeth holding back their tears and Percy and Jason calling him stupid for pulling this stunt while they hugged him. For a moment it was just the seven of them hugging each other as there was no tomorrow. Then he noticed Calypso standing in the background uncomfortably. He immediately broke out of the hug and introduced her.

"Hey guys, it's nice to see you again, but may I introduce you my beautiful girlfriend Calypso first." He said while giving her a hand.

Calypso raised her hand shyly. "Hey."

Piper rushed to her excitedly. "Hi, my name is Piper McLean, best friend of this idiot there." She pointed at Leo. He pouted. "Hey."

Calypso laughed. It was clearly to see that she was relieved that the tense atmosphere was over. "Nice to meet you, Piper."

"So." Piper looked slyly to Leo. "Repair boy isn't making you trouble, right? I know he can be great idiot with his not funny jokes and his not working technical devices."

"Hey!"

Calypso laughed again. "He is okay for most of the time, but the times where really want to feed him to the wolves."

Piper grinned her. "I know how you feel."

"That's it." Leo looked fake hurt at them. "I'm not gonna to listen to this. I'm leaving." He pretended to go away, but just raised his legs and remained there where he stood.

Calypso rolled her eyes. "Calm down, Leo. Don't you wanna introduce me to the others?"

"Oh, oh okay, that is Jason, Piper's boyfriend. That's Frank and Hazel, the second couple among the seven and these are Annabeth and Percy. I think you already know Percy." He saw how Percy rubbed his neck. This situation is definitely uncomfortable. He looked like he didn't know whether he should go to Calypso or not fearing Annabeth could tear him apart in peaces. Annabeth saw that and rolled her eyes like Seriously Seaweed Brain, we were together in Tartarus and you are worrying that I might be jealous of someone who have liked you, but obviously is in love with someone else.

Percy then rushed forward to Calypso. "So, you got off the island?" He asked rubbing his neck.

Calypso smiled at him. "Yeah thanks to Leo. And don't worry, I know you have tried to free me." She leaned forward to him and whispered in his left ear. "Can you forgive me for cursing Annabeth?" This question surprised Percy. He didn't expect from her to be so direct with this question.

"Yeah." he whispered back. "I know why you did it. I would probably lose my mind too, if everybody who I loved would leave me for someone else."

Calypso smiled at him. "So no hard feelings?"

Percy smiled back. "No hard feelings." Then he gave her a light hug.

The next one who came to Calypso was surprisingly Annabeth. "Hey, I'm Annabeth, the girlfriend of this idiot there." She pointed at Percy who pouted at her.

Calypso smiled at her. "Hey Annabeth, Percy already told me a lot about you."

Annabeth looked surprised at that. "He did?"

Calypso nodded. "Yeah, and don't worry, I don't like him anymore. He isn't exactly my type."

Annabeth smiled at that. Behind her Percy was making a fuss over that statement. "Why am I no ones type anymore? First Nico, now Calypso, oh come on. I'm adorable." Annabeth was rolling her eyes at her boyfriend. This was so typical him.

Calypso on the other hand gasped at what Percy said. "Nico, he is here?"

Leo looked confused at that. "Yeah, he is here at Camp Half-Blood. At least I think so. How do you know him." He asked curiously with a hint of jealously.

"He sometimes accidentally shadow-travelled himself to Ogygia and spent weeks with me." Calypso answered him. Then she suddenly spotted Nico standing there in thee shadows watching the scene. She ran towards him and gave him a hug. "Nico, I'm so glad to see you again." She said while ruffling his hair.

Nico smiled at Calypso tiredly. "It's great to see you again too, Callie." He told her using her Nickname.

From the corner of her eyes she could see Leo staring at them with a mix of jealously and curiosity. Calypso laughed. "Leo, there is no need to be jealous. Nico is like a little brother to me. And besides he can't like me anyway." She spoke. Then she gasped as she realized what she had said. Nico noticed it and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay. You can tell him. The others already know it."

Leo looked confused at them. "What are you talking about?" From the background Nico could see his friends giving him encouraging smiles.

He took a deep breath. "I'm gay." he blurted out. He looked at Leo waiting for his response. He was shocked by this revelation. He didn't thought that Nico di Angelo, the gloomy guy, would be gay. But then he recovered and he grinned at him.

"That's so cool man. I always wanted a sassy gay friend." And with that he gave Nico a bear hug.

Nico tried to shake him off. "Get off, Valdez." He growled.

Leo pouted. "But I wanna hug my sassy gay friend."

"Valdez." Nico started dangerously. "I'm glad to see you alive again, but if you don't get off me in the next few seconds then I will make sure you're dead for real this time and get a nice place in the field of punishment." He declared while glaring at him.

Leo immediately let go. Nothing was worse than having a angry Nico di Angelo on your back.

Calypso gave Nico a light hug again. "So, you finally came out? I'm so proud of you!" She squealed.

Nico smiled at her. "Yeah, it took a while, but yeah I did. In front of Percy and Annabeth." Calypso squealed at that again and ruffled his hair.

"So." Leo was grinning at Nico now. "So you have a new crush on someone here now?" He asked.

Nico's face flushed red. To his dismay Hazel, who was coming from behind, answered for him. "In fact, he does. His name is Will Solace and he is definitely a cute one." Hazel said while grinning at Nico.

"Hazel!" Nico shouted embarrassed.

Calypso squealed. "Nico, you have a crush on someone? I'm so happy for you."

"They are definitely the cutest thing, that I've ever seen." Piper piped in.

"And they are both to dense to notice it." Jason said smirking.

"Ugh." Nico threw his hand frustratingly in the air. His friends were sometimes like a disease that didn't wanted to go away.

Hazel playfully punched his arm. "Ah, come on you know we are just teasing you."

"Yeah, we all just want you to be happy." Annabeth added giving him a small smile.

"Got that right, even if I still can't understand how I aren't your type. I am everyone's type." Percy claimed while sounding fake hurt.

Nico rolled his eyes. He really couldn't believe how the person who saved Olympus twice was so immature. He turned to his friends. "Guys, I'm glad for that, alright, but how about we celebrate that Leo is back, okay?" He said trying to get the attention off him.

Leo grinned at the idea. "Great idea, dude. Let's celebrate the return of the great McShizzle and the Supreme Commander of the Argo II." He put his leg on a stone and bend his right arm while staring glorious in the sky. The others just rolled their eyes at him. They smiled nevertheless. They missed his cocky jokes and his childish attitude. The months without him were brutally hard, especially for Jason and Piper. Now they did have their little Latino friend back. The seven were reunited again. Then Leo turned around to them and asked:

"Say, why is the Aphrodite cabin painted in black and the Aphrodite kids covered in goo?"

So that's chapter five. Yeah, Leo is back. I know, almost no Solangelo in this chapter, but I prefer it that way. This shall not become a cheesy romance fic between Will and Nico. No, this is a deeper insight in the lives of the demigods after the war, not only of Nico and Will. Thak you so much for your wonderful reviews. They gave me strength to continue this story.
