a request from @EmilyTheBunnyQueen for a Caleo oneshot featuring calypso's side of the story about the whole percy situation! btw this takes place in Ogygia the second time if leo didn't leave immediately with calypso and came back injured

"The hell were you thinking?" Calypso shakes her head, bandaging another one of Leo's wounds. There is blood everywhere, ugly red spatters covering his entire body.

"I wasn't thinking." Even in severe pain, Leo manages to answer with a small, pained smile. 

Calypso sighs. "Oh, Leo. You stupid thing."

"I'm sorry." He mumbles quietly and Calypso cleans out a particularly bad gash at the base of his throat.

"You shouldn't have come back for me." She snaps. "What is wrong with you?"

"Why wouldn't I come back?" Leo whispers.

She doesn't reply, instead rubbing a herb medicine on his neck. Leo's eyes flicker up to her face. Her lips are pressed tightly together, her muscles clenched while she works. There are specks of blood on her white dress.

He reaches up to touch her cheek. She smacks his hand away, giving him a knowing look. "You'll hurt yourself."

Leo is too exhausted to argue. The pain really isn't that bad--or maybe it's just because he's about to pass out and his senses are giving up. It feels like a throbbing headache, just all over his body.

The red is flowers of pain, blooming on his neck, ears, chest, ankles, cheeks, and shoulder. He doesn't know much about injuries, but he can see that some are so deep they've sliced through muscle. Those hurt the most.

Calypso gently wraps thick gauze over his ankle. The material grazes his cut, sending dull sparks of pain through his spine. She moves on to his shoulder, cleaning it with a cool, wet paper towel.

Leo flinches. She stops immediately, looking down at him. "Everything okay?"

"Perfect." He says through gritted teeth.

She nods. Leo closes his eyes. He's awfully tired from flying here, and the wounds all over his body doesn't make him feel any better.

He lays there for what seems like eons, switching between closing his eyes and resting and watching her bandage him up.

She feeds him ambrosia. It tastes like his mother's tamales (yes, i stole that from my old caleo oneshot), warm and delicious as it melts into his tongue.

"Almost done." She whispers, smoothing his hair back.

He doesn't respond. Calypso finishes up his bandages and treating his wounds. After drinking some nectar, Leo promptly passes out.

When he wakes up, the first thing he sees is Calypso's large brown eyes. She breathes a sigh of relief. Or excitement. He can't tell.

"You feeling better?" She asks softly.

He gives her a signature Leo smirk. "You always make me feel better, Sunshine."

She rolls her eyes, but he can see a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Sure, Leo. You must be hungry."

"You bet." He sits up. Surprisingly, it barely hurts. Everything feels much better. The pain is still there, but it's dull.

"You did a great job." He calls. Calypso, who's currently putting mac and cheese on a plate, looks over and grins.

"Of course I did." She says back.

Leo laughs to himself. God, how he missed her. Her hair, her eyes, her laugh, her voice. her lips. especially on his.
