"No, no, no!" I screamed at one the bots that assisted in my farming. I grabbed the bot and forcefully turned it's head so it was facing me. "Di immortales!" I screamed at the bot. "Why can't you remember?! We go over this drill every day! You just started to forget a couple months ago! What in the God's name is the matter with you?!" It just started sputtering and that frusterated me even more. I heard shuffling behind me and looked to the corner of my vision, to barely see Calypso walking up behind me. I turned back to the bot. "Be gone!" I screamed, as I lit my hand on fire. I started to rapidly punch it, setting it's insides on fire. I finally dropped the bot, and saw that it was bleeding gold oil all over the sand.

"Must you make a mess?" she asked me, taking her spot at my side. "You're eighteen for the God's sake!" I turned to face her. "Sorry miss," I said. "That bot was getting on my nerves." She huffed. "Well," she said. "Could you have made a bigger racket?" I stared at her. "Sorry sunshine," I said. "You know I have to handle some of the gardens, the chickens, and the machinery." I counted all three as I talked. "Please don't call me sunshine." she said gruffly. "Why not?" I asked, tilting my head and getting a bit closer to her. "Because," she said, as she backed away from. "It makes me feel uncomfortable and nervous." After saying this, she ran back the way she came.

"She's tensed up." a new voice said. I turned around and saw Hermes standing behind me. "Lord Hermes," I said, giving a little bow. "Hello Leo," he said. "How are we this afternoon?" I was confused. "Afternoon?" I asked. "I thought it was morning!" Hermes shook his head. "Nooooo," he said slowly. "I'm pretty sure it's afternoon." I was a bit surprised, but got over it. "Well all things considered, I'm fine," I said. "How are you doing?" Hermes looked into the distance for a minute, thinking. "Good I suppose," he said. "How are my chickens?" I cracked up laughing. "Your chickens?" I asked, laughing. "You sold them to me. For a good fifty golden drachmas."

I motioned for him to follow me over to the chicken pen, and he did. "Ah," he said, with satisfaction in his voice. "You have twice as many as I gave you. I'm impressed!" I laughed. "Thank you Lord Hermes," I said. "Calypso and I try." He chuckled. "You certainly do." he replied. I turned to him, about to change the subject. "So moving to a more serious note," I said. "How's the war?" He turned to me, a look of surprise playing on his face. "The what?" he asked. "The war?" I asked. "You know, the war against Gaia?" He now had a look of confusion on his face. "Oh, that's right!" he said. "How silly of me! You don't know, do you?"

"Know what?" I asked. "No, I suppose you don't, do you?" he asked. "Anyway, the war is over. We won. It's been over for almost two years now. Your friends all think that you're dead. They stopped searching for your body many months ago." I was a little startled. "Really? I'm rumored to be dead? My friends stopped searching for me?" I asked. "Gaia wasn't freed? No one died?" He looked worried and he ignored my questions. "Freed?" he asked himself. "Oh, that reminds me! I was supposed to free Calypso from this island years ago! In fact, back on that big ship of yours, you weren't even supposed to land here! This island shouldn't even exist anymore! I might as well free her from her prison now." He started to walk away from me. I started to get scared and a little heartbroken. "Wait, Lord Hermes!" I said. He turned back to me. "What?" he asked, in a impatient tone. "Please don't take Calypso off the island!" I whispered, pleadingly. He raised an eyebrow. "Why?" he asked. "She'll probably forget about me!" He started laughing. "Forget about you?" he asked. "What makes you think she hasn't already?" I was hurt. "Hermes!" I hissed. "I'm being serious!"

"Yes," he said. "by all means my dear boy, I am serious as well! Don't slow my progress boy." He started walking up to the cave again. "Hermes, please!" He turned back to me, and his eyes told me he wasn't happy. "What?!" he screamed. "Hermes, please keep your voice down!" He glared at me. "Why?!" he asked, but in a sharp tone. "Please listen to me," I said. "I really like Calypso, but I don't know if she likes me." He snorted. "So?" he asked. "What do you expect me to do?" I waved my hands. "Don't take her off this island!" I exclaimed. "At least not yet! Please, just give me one week, so I can tell her how I feel!" He narrowed his eyes at me. "You have one week." he said. "In a week's time, I come back and take her off the island. Regardless of you telling her your feelings or not." He snapped his fingers and disappeared. "What was that all about?" Calypso asked, walking up to me. "Nothing!" I said. "Nothing at all! I need to be left alone for a while. I need to think for a while." I ran back up to the cave, before she could react.

Later That Day...

How to I tell her? I can't just spit it out! A demigod and a immortal nymph! It would never work! I was plagued by my own thoughts. I would never be able to tell Calypso my true feelings. "I brought you something." Calypso's voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see her walking through the curtain to my room and around to the side of the bed I was sitting on. She sat a plate of vegetables from the garden down on the side table and sat down next to me. "Are you ok?" she asked. "We've hardly spoke at all today. In fact, we don't speak at all anymore. You hang out in your room, doing whatever it is Leo Valdez does." She was right. Whenever I was in my room, I could be doing a lot of things. Thinking about mechanical stuff, thinking about Calypso and jacking off at the same time, thinking about how it would feel to be with her. Lots of things actually.

"I'm sorry," I said. "I guess you're right." She looked at me, with a sad look on her face. "Leo," she said. "Do you not enjoy being here with me?" I don't want to hurt her feelings and truth was I did enjoy being here with her. "No, no, no!" I said, waving my hands. "I do enjoy being here with you." She cocked her head at me. "Than why do you avoid talking to me?" she asked. "Do I scare you?" I shook my head. "No," I said. "There is no way I'm scared of you. It's just hard to talk to you." She looked at me funny. "Leo," she said. "Why do you find it hard to talk to me?" Well, I thought. You are so fucking hot! It hurts that I can't have you and I am often wondering what you look like, under there... Hey, pal! Let's keep it clean here, eh? Ha ha!

Calypso saw that I was staring off into space. "Leo?" she asked, snapping her fingers. "What?" I said, coming out of my "coma." "I kind of lost you for a second," she said. "Are you ok?" I nodded. "I'm fine." I said. "Look," she said. "I just wanted to bring you some food. You should eat, I'll leave you alone now." She left the room, but I didn't touch my food. Instead, I just laid down on the bed and tried to go to sleep. I drifted off, trying not to think about how confused I was with myself.

A Couple Hours Later...

I woke up and it was probably sunset. I got up to stretch and saw that the food plate was gone. I walked to the curtain and walked out into the main cave. "Calypso!" I called. No answer. I looked around the cave and didn't find her. Even in her bedroom chamber. "Calypso!" I called out again. I didn't hear her answer, but this time, I heard the faint sound of running water. I slowly walked over to the bathroom area and saw a partly closed curtain. I moved the curtain aside a little bit, so I could take a peek in and saw something that nearly made me hard just from the sight. Calypso, my crush, was stark naked in the shower. The water was running and I saw everything. Her fine ass, her slender legs, everything.

I was frozen in place, staring in awe at Calypso. And that was very bad for me. She must have seen me out of the corner of her eye, because her head snapped upwards. She turned to face me and I freaked out. She had a unhappy look on her face, as she covered her breasts with her arm. "Fuck!" I screeched, running from the cave. I collapsed onto the sand once I got out of the cave, trying to catch my breath. "Holy shit!" I said. "Worst timing ever!" I got up and leaned against the rock wall of the cave. I stood there for a few more seconds, trying to catch my breathe, before I was interrupted. "Ahem." a voice said. I turned to face Calypso, who was soaking wet, with a towel covering her body. She had her arms crossed and she was glaring at me. "What in the Hades were you doing peeping at me?" she nearly screamed at me. "Do you have any idea how I can punish you? I can get you taken off of my island!" I just grinned. "By all means, punish the shit out of me, babe!" I said, laughing. "Bow-Chicka-Bow-Wow!" After I said that, she had a disgusted look on her face and it wasn't long until she smacked my face. And like, really hard. I'm pretty sure my cheek might be slightly bruised. "Ow! Son of a bitch!" I said, holding my cheek.

After I recovered from the smack in the face, I looked back up at her. I started getting freaked out and I wanted to cry, but I tried to stay calm. "What do you want from me?" I asked as calmly as I could. "How about you apologize for invading my privacy?!" she yelled. "I'm sorry that you are the only woman on this island and that I can't keep my eyes off of the beauty that is you!" I screamed. She looked at me, her anger fading a little, but a frown was still on her face. "What?" she asked, surprised. I covered my mouth in shock, having the revelation that I had spilled my feelings to her. She put her hand on the top of mine and began gently rubbed it. "Tell me more." she said, still frowning. "I want to know more." I looked at her. "Well," I said, grabbing hold of her hand. "I look forward to each day with the most attractive woman that the Earth has to offer."

A smile formed on her face and she nodded for me to go on. "And, I'm always afraid," I said. "that the beautiful woman in front of me will reject me." She pulled on my hand, as if she was asking permission to control it and I realized that her anger was gone completely and it had been replaced by another emotion. I let her take control of my hand and she put it on her cheek, and let me rub her semi-wet cheek. I assumed that tears of joy were forming in her eyes. "I guess what I'm saying is-" I said, as I gulped. "I love you Calypso. I love you, so very much." She stared up into my eyes. "You still owe me a apology." she said. "I'm sorry," I said. "I suppose I can let this go. If you promise me something." I looked at her. "What?" I asked. She had a very mischievous look on her face. "Never peep at me again," she said. "Or you won't get me in bed. And don't ever, ever use that phrase again." She pulled away from me, but I grabbed her forearm. She turned back to face me, a slight frown on her face. "Calypso," I said, my lips quivering. "may I?" She looked confused, as she walked back to me, so we were a foot or so apart. "Can you what?" she asked.

"Can I, you know..." I stuttered nervously, as I pointed to my lips. "What? Can you kiss me?" she asked. It took me a few seconds to respond, but I eventually nodded. She looked back up at me, as she came a bit closer. She looked away, before nodding. I let go of her hand and gently touched her cheek, turning her face towards me. She edged closer to me, as if she were timid, even though we had kissed twice before. We were now only inches apart. I slowly bent down, towards her face, as she was a bit shorter than me. She stood up on her toes a little bit and our lips finally met. She seemed to savor the kiss, as she put a hand on my neck as we continued to kiss. After about ten seconds more, I pulled away from her slowly. "Thank you." I whispered. "No problem." she said, as began to walk away from me. "And thanks you know, for not rejecting me." I said. She stopped without looking back at me. "Of course." she said, as she walked back into the cave. I felt my lips, as they still tingled. I though about how she had just kissed me, so full of passion. She must really love me... And you know what? I think that one actually did happen!

A/N: No lemon chapter(s) yet! Sorry, but did you really suppose Leo was going to get to get laid after watching Calypso shower? A lemon chapter may be next, or in a couple chapters. Also, I'm trying to write Leo's character with an awkward persona, since he is always working with machines. So, I did hope you enjoyed this chapter and hopefully, the next one will be posted soon!
