P.O.V Leo

-Leo! Come here right now!- my mother shouted as I ran away from the wedding of Luke and Octavian. Until I tripped with something and fell on the ground- Ouch!

-My dress!- someone screamed from under me- Get off me you big idiot!- I quickly did as she told me, having the Goddess of Beauty as a mother teaches you a few things about women. And the golden rule is to never play with their clothes... or hair- What the hell is wrong with you?!- she glared at me with all her rage and suddenly I was burning.
Now I was the one angry, "No one tries to hurt me with fire! It is my father's domain, it protects me... that someone tried to attack me with it. I hate her!"- Why aren't you screaming in pain?- she questioned me confused and a bit surprise.

-My father is Hephaestus- I answered curtly, and glared when I noticed what she was- What is a Titan doing in Olympus?

-I am friends with Percy, he freed me from my prison few years ago- she told me- I am here for his son's wedding- her soft gaze soon turned into a glare again- But that is not the point. You ruined my dress! I spent a lot of time on it.

-It is handmade?- I asked her impressed, it was very well done. (See picture of the chapter in my wattpad page).

-What was that suppose to mean?- she asked me angrily- You don't believe I would be able to make it?

-I am one of those who think that anyone is able to do anything they want only if they tried- I said, still enchanted by her beautiful dress. When I looked up, I noticed that this time the one impressed was her- What?

-Nothing- she answered way too quickly- Who are you?

-I am Leo, God of Innovations. Son of Hephaestus and Aphrodite, step-son of Ares- I answered her cheekily and with a big smile- And you?

-Calypso, guardian of Ogygia and daughter of Atlas- she answered me bitterly and looking very sad. "She was Calypso?! Uncle Nico mentioned her when he told us the Labyrinth Quest".

I felt sorry for her, even though she acted like a bitch... who wouldn't after everything she had to go through-At least you are free now- I offered her a soft smile. Which only made her look at me with curious eyes, as if I was from a new species of animal that she had never seen.

-You are a strange God, Leo- she spoke so softly and with a lost look, that I guess that she didn't plan to say those words out loud.

-Aren't we all?- I replied cheekily, causing her to blush and me to laugh at her. After a few minutes of me laughing and her scolding me, we were both on the ground laughing our asses off- So what are you doing out here?- I asked her breathlessly, once we stopped laughing- I heard some Goddesses complain about how Hermes was wasting his time bringing that... stupid Titan like his date- I had to stop myself from saying the complete truth at last moment. After all I wouldn't want to face Calypso's wrath by calling her whore, like those Goddesses- I guess that would be you, aren't I right?

- You are Leo- she answered me. Calypso leaned down on the grass and gazed at the stars with such longing that it made me feel jealous. I wanted to feel like she did, as if there was something worth fighting for even if it meant your death. I had never desired something that way... if we don't count Reyna of course. However, I didn't want to participate in one of my mother's many matchmaking games. I wanted to have an objective... create something valuable- Ever since I turned into prisoner of that damn island, Hermes had been one of the few who ever pay me visit. He was also the one that visited me the most, he always said that he loved my food and that my island gave him some peace of mind- Calypso's words brought me back from my envy fit- We bonded with time and turned into very good friends, but when I got free I began traveling through the world. Wanting to get to make up from all the time I lost, that's when things got complicated. Hermes being the God of travelers always kept a good eye on me and protected me whenever I needed help...

-He acted like your perfect prince charming and you fell to his feet- I cut her off with a knowing smile, I had seen this a lot of times in mother's love screens. On the other hand, I still was confused about why she was sad- You got him to ask you out, what is wrong?

-I don't want to be another one in his list- she snap at me, but I knew that behind that rage was a lot of anger and pain from being hurt too many times- I had been the second one for many men... I don't think I can continue if it happens to me one more time.

-Both my fathers and mother love each other very much, but they still have so many affairs that is hard to keep track- I told her softly- There isn't a God out there that would be one hundred percent faithful to his couple, even my uncle Dionysus that adores his wife have a few affairs a century. In exception of grand-uncle Hades, grand-uncle Poseidon, grand-father Zeus, Jason, Luke, Triton and Eros. But they are different: Hades had been hurt and shun away so many times that when Persephone truly loved him, she turned into the light that brought him back alive. Triton is a merman and he mated with uncle Percy which makes it impossible to break that bond from both ends. The same goes for grand-uncle Poseidon with Ariel and Luke with Octavian. Jason is the definition of perfection and it goes against his morals to cheat, and Eros's love life is like his magic unable to end when it began. Grand-father was the biggest womanizer ever and then came Nico, he gave Zeus a friend someone to count on and cured his heart's scars... Nico turned into Zeus obsession and first/last love- I looked into her shocked eyes softly and said- Uncle Hermes might not stay faithful to you, but if he loves you I can assure you that you will never be just a second choice.

-I thought your sister was the smart romance type- was what she said when she finally talked after a while of silence, making me laugh.

-I am one to give big surprises, thing that no one ever anticipated and shock them all- I exclaimed with fake excitement- I am the God of Innovations after all!

-That's what got you so sad?- she asked me, it was her time to act as if she was talking with a hurt animal.

-I am the fucking God of Innovations and I didn't invent anything!- I shouted angrily. I normally don't let my bad emotions go wild like this, but my frustration was too big- To add more crap to the fucking mess my life is, I am in love with a girl that only sees me as a friend...- I stopped rambling when I felt two arms wrapping around my waist- What are you...

-Let's make a deal- she proposed me. Her voice was vibrating against my chest, where she was happily snuggling- I will make my best effort to open my heart to Hermes, if you ask that girl out- I opened my mouth to complain but she ignored me, continuing talking- In the meanwhile we will meet and I'll help you invent something big, if you teach me about the world- Calypso then looked at me seriously in the eyes- What do you say?

I thought it for a few minutes when I finally decided. I opened my mouth and answered...
