Now for the chapter:

Grapes

PoV: Leo Valdez

Leo Valdez was hanging out in bunker 9. It was the best place to be in camp. If not in the world. All the scraps of metal, smell of motor oil and the countless of grease stains added to be about the best thing ever. And now that Calypso had left Ogygia, she stayed at camp with Leo and had also taken a liking towards bunker 9.

"Do you need help with the designs?" She asked.

Leo was working on a small version of Festus. At least he tried. It was incredibly hard, and he had absolutely no idea how someone could of made Festus. But Leo thought it only appropriate to try. Who knows maybe he could surprise everyone and actually make something cool.

"No that's alright chica, I got this." Leo said, right now he was trying to construct Festus JR's face.

"Well what can I do to help?" Calypso persisted.

"Well, you can weave the wings in this pattern-" Leo pointed at his blueprints, he stopped talking when Calypso slid into the seat beside him.

"Okay, consider it done." She said as she started to weave the metal in the intricate design Leo had appointed.

Calypso's long delicate fingers started weaving the pattern assigned by Leo at incredible speed and with incredible elegance and Leo's intelligence started navigating the pieces of metal around each other so that it looked something like Festus's face.

The pair sat in comfortable silence when Calypso finally broke it.

"So that was quite a revelation yesterday." She said.

"Yeah," Leo answered, only half listening.

"I thought it was sweet though. However, I wonder what the others had planned for lending a so called 'helping hand'?" She continued.

"I don't know, I guess we'll find out, but tomorrow it's Annabeth's birthday which me and Piper-" Leo was interrupted by Calypso's gasp.

"It's Annabeth's birthday? Shoot! I totally forgot, how could I have forgotten? I haven't gotten her anything!"

"Calm down chica, I'm telling you now, right? And you can weave her something, I'm sure she would appreciate that." Leo calmed Calypso down.

Calypso thought it was very important that she stayed on good terms with everyone as she was the newest member to their 'group' she worried herself that she wasn't accepted yet, mainly by Annabeth. Probably because a few years back Percy had also stranded on Ogygia.

"Al right, can I continue the wings later?" She asked already clearing her work space to start with something else.

"Sure."

Just as Calypso started weaving two thin scraps of metal together a certain conch horn blew in the distance signaling lunch.

Leo wiped both his grease stained hands on his jeans, leaving behind to trails of black. Calypso did the same, together they walked out of bunker 9.

While Leo and Calypso walked through the evergreen forest, filled with chirping bugs and gurgling monsters in the distance, she took his hand. Seemingly unaware she lazed her fingers with his. How great it was to have someone like you, Leo thought.

PoV : Hazel

Hazel hadn't seen anyone since breakfast. Well, anyone besides Frank. She'd woken up in the Hades cabin. She wanted to get ready quietly as to not woke up Nico. Of course she'd woken up Nico.

"Ssshhh, Hazel." Nico moaned.

"Sorry." She hushed.

"Errr." He moaned some more before rolling over.

Before closing the cabin door as silently as she could she'd caught a glimpse of Nico's disheveled hair and pale skin. He had looked so vulnerable and fragile then. He had actually looked like a teenage boy wanting some sleep. My brother, Hazel had thought.

Now she sat at the large table that was usually meant for cabin 3. However for the time being this was the table for the 'Heroes'. Hazel always but quotation marks around it otherwise the thought was too bizarre.

Hazel sat between Annabeth and Nico, across from Frank. Annabeth took a sip from Percy's blue cherry coke, who sat across from her. Now if there was one thing Hazel had learned it was to not mess with Percy's blue food. But over the time that Annabeth and Percy had been dating he had made a small exception just for her.

"So," Piper began, "It's a certain girl's birthday tomorrow." She said birthday as if it was the biggest deal in the world. Which for Piper, it was.

"I'm aware." Annabeth said, as if she couldn't care less. Which was a lie. Whenever it was someone's birthday Annabeth went all out. Annabeth and Piper were simply the biggest party planners in the world. Add a certain Leo Valdez and voila, a dazzling party was born. Honestly, Dionysus always made a point of coming to any party that any three of them threw.

"Anything you're expecting?" Piper asked, trying to be subtle but miserably failing. Reyna actually hid her head in her hands.

"Err, no. Just the presence of you guys." Annabeth said, staying humble.

"Aw, come on, don't be cheesy." Leo said.

Annabeth threw her hands up in a kind of what-do-you-want-me-to-say way.

"You should all know me well enough, so you shouldn't have any problems with asking me what I want concerning gifts and cake."

Percy put on a smug smile. Annabeth observed her boyfriend with hawk's eyes. Percy had a perfect poker face. Hazel herself was still working on hers.

Piper and Leo had a silent conversation with their eyes. Hazel had always admired people who could do that, transfer words and sentences into just a glance or look.

Hazel attentively reached out a hand for the grapes that Nico was silently eating. Nico didn't eat much and when he did Will had asked everyone to not disturb him. So Hazel checked with Nico if she could have some, he smiled at her and pushed the bowl towards her so she didn't have to strain around him to reach it. She smiled a thank you at her older brother.

Will, who sat next to Nico's other side, reached for the bowl of grapes where it had previously stood, to find it gone. He looked around questioningly finding the grapes next to Hazel he strained around Nico for the bowl.

Nico turning red pushed the bowl towards Will. The two shared an unnecessarily long eye-lock, then Nico finally looked away. Piper was right, something was definitely stirring between them.

Hazel tried to ask a question with her eyes why did you stare at Will? Nico caught the question, but he didn't answer. Hazel gave herself a small praise, she had asked a silent question. If you didn't give yourself some laudation for little things then, who would?

Once again thanks for commenting. (This is gonna sound cheesy), but it does make me smile to read your guys's appreciation. From now on I might be posting less and less but that's because school's starting again.

Adios Chicas. Y Chicos.
