After the war (Solangelo)

Chapter 9: I was right

WARNING: (Really badly written) SMUT AND PERCABETH

I woke up, curled against Will's chest. I opened my eyes, looking up to see Will fast asleep. A small smile slipped onto my face. Will's arms tightened around me, and he turned over, pulling me with him so I was lying on his chest. I flushed, even though Will was still asleep. My eyelids drooped and I slowly drifted back to sleep, comfortable on Will's chest.

I dreamed I was flying. I looked below me, to see a boy, with curly brown hair, and looked like a Latino elf sitting on a bronze dragon. Wait a sec, that's Leo!! As I watched, Festus slowly descends, onto an island, where a girl is sitting on the beach with her head in her hands. As we land, she looks up. Her skin was a deep natural tan, that you can only achieve by being out in the sun. She has caramel colored hair that was braided and over her shoulder, hanging near where her belly button would be if it were visible. She was wearing a cream colored Greek style dress, with a gold band around her waist. Her eyes that were almond shape, were filled with confusion. "Calypso!!!!!" Leo screamed, scrambling off to get to the girl. Did Leo say Calypso?! "LEO!!!!" The girl yelled in response. They ran to each other, like one of those romantic movies. And somehow, it worked. Leo lifted the girl up, and spun her around. Calypso laughed, as tears streamed down her face. Somehow, short Leo was still taller than Calypso, so she must be tiny! "I told you I'd come back!" Leo exclaimed happily. They climbed onto Festus, holding hands. Calypso kissed Leo's cheek as they rose into the air.

I jolted awake, still on Will's chest. 'So Leo was alive,' I mused. 'And was on his way with Calypso. I fell back asleep, having no dreams this time.

3 hours later. . . .

I woke up rather roughly. Will had turned over, and now was half on top of me. It did not feel very good. I pushed him of off me, and he woke up, flailing his arms. "Wha-Where, huh?" I laughed at him. "Come on Will. Leo's going to be home soon." He gave me a confused look. "How-" He started to say, but he was interrupted by a shriek. We rushed out of the infirmary, to see a lowering metal dragon. I was right. Leo had returned. As Leo got off Festus, Piper came forward and slapped him. The sound echoed across camp, and she started scolding him. "FIVE MONTHS LEO!!! YOU WERE GONE FIVE MONTHS, AND YOU COULDN'T IRIS MESSAGE US?" The tears overwhelmed her, and she pulled Leo into a tight hug. She pulled away, slapped him again, and pulled him back into a hug. Leo wrapped his arms around her, motioned to Jason, who stepped into the hug. Five months?! I was in the infirmary for five months!! Wow. They pulled away, Leo grinning. "I brought someone with me. This is my amazing girlfriend-" "Calypso." A voice said. Heads turned, and Percy stepped through the crowd. Calypso turned to look at him, the shy smile not visible any more. Percy's eyes were filled with regret, and sadness. The crowd slowly dispersed, until it was only Leo, Jason, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, Calypso, Will and I. Hazel and Frank had to be back at Camp Jupiter, but we'll Iris message them tomorrow. Percy was fidgeting, and kept glancing back and forth between Calypso and Annabeth. "C-Calypso?" Percy started nervously. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" Calypso nodded, not saying anything, and followed Percy. Jealousy flashed on both Leo and Annabeth's faces. I turned to Leo. "Can I talk to you Leo?" Leo shrugged. "Sure." I thought Will looked hurt, but he turned away so I couldn't be sure. "I have a question." "Shoot" "Well," I started. "Did the Physician's Cure hurt?" Leo looked shocked, then suspicious. "If it did, how did you know?" "Just tell me." I said exasperated. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Will walk back to the infirmary. "Yeah," Leo answered. "It was painful. . . ." I nodded, and turned to go, but Leo grabbed my wrist. "How did you know Death breath?" He inquired. "I-I felt your pain." His eyes widened, and I continued. "If someone is dying, I feel how/can tell how and what it felt like." Like with Bianca, I added in my mind. I felt like i was being suffocated, and electrocuted at once. I don't know if that was how she died, but I do know it was immensely painful. "But, if I was coming back to life, why'd you feel my pain?" "I can feel a person's soul when they die, but your death was not normal. You were only mostly dead, so I felt when you returned." "Oh." "Anything else?" I asked, a bit impatiently. "No." Leo said shaking his head. "Bye Repair boy." "See you later Death breath!" I walked back to the infirmary to where my Will was.

Percy's pov (Surprise!!)

I was super nervous, but I needed to talk to her. To explain. I walked with Calypso to the edge of the forest. She turned to face me, arms crossed, her eyes were full to the brim with hurt. "Before you say anything," I said holding up my finger, "let me explain. When I left your island, I went back here. I fought in the war and accidentally woke Typhon, and then next year, well I fought my grandfather. . . ." I frowned at that, and Calypso's eyes widened. "K-Kronos?" She whispered. I nodded and bit my lip. "I fought him, and won, and after I was offered immortality. I turned it down for Annabeth." Her eyes turned angry. "That's it!? That's what you wanted to tell me?!" She turned, but I held onto her wrist, and pulled her back. "No, I made the gods promise." She stopped struggling and looked at me. "I said they need to claim all demigods before they turn 12, and to let all innocent 'people' go." I made quotes in the air when I said people. "I specifically said your name too." I looked into her eyes. They were a swirl of emotions. "The next year, I got amnesia." and only remembered Annabeth, I added silently, thinking she wouldn't be happy of I said that. "And had to unite the Greeks and Romans. That year was crazy. Annabeth and I fell down Ta-Tart ugh! The pit!" "Leo told me." Calypso whispered. Suddenly, I began to shake, as I remember how she cursed Annabeth. Calypso took a step back as my hands clenched by my sides, teeth gritting. I closed my eyes, taking a few deep breaths, but kept my hands closed in fists. "Why" I choked out. "Why'd you curse her?!" My voice broke, and I had to take another few breaths before I could look at, her again. "I'm sorry." Calypso had tears running down her face, her hands shaking slightly. "I know it was wrong, I regretted it as soon as I said the words. Please, please forgive me! I-I didn't think it would affect you. I'm sorry." She whispered the last two words, and I couldn't stay mad. My anger deflated, and I saw she truly meant it. I nodded. "I forgive you." she smiled widely up at me, and shifted forward, but stopped, her fingers interlocking in front of her. I cleared my throat awkwardly before continuing. "Oh, we also fought Gaia." Calypso gasped. "Leo's a hero by the way." I smiled and she returned it. "He flew straight at her, and blew up. I guess he stole the Physician's Cure, which means he died and came back." Suddenly my eyes widened, and I realized something. I grasped her shoulders. "The gods did keep their promise!!!!!! They let you off the island with Leo!! They didn't break the oath!" I was smiling like an idiot. I hugged her tight, and she wrapped her arms around me, crying. I opened my eyes in time to see Annabeth storm off, tears racing down her face. "Oh no." I muttered, pulling away. Calypso looked, and turned back to me. "Go." She said smiling. "We good?" I asked. She nodded smiling. "Tell Leo what I said!" I called over my shoulder as I turned and raced after my girlfriend. I caught up and tackled her, sending us rolling down the beach. We stopped, me pinning her to the ground. I was holding her arms down, and had my legs between hers, making it impossible for her to kick me. She was sobbing and still trying to escape. "Annabeth," I started, but I didn't know what to say after. She looked at me, still crying. "I-I get it Percy. You like Calypso." I was shocked. "No, for once in your life you're wrong." I bent lower, and with every word leaned forward. "I like a blonde-haired gray-eyed daughter of Athena, named Annabeth." I whispered breathing against her lips. Then I kissed her, slow and deep. I released her arms, and they wove around my neck. I placed one hand on her hip, and my forearm of the other arm keeping me from fully crushing her. We gently pulled away panting. Annabeth smiled at me. I couldn't help it. I kissed her again, more greedy and impatient then the last one. There was more force behind it. She responded just as needy. My hand that was on her waist slipped up her shirt, and she pulled away. "P-Percy," Annabeth moaned. "Mm-hmm?" I asked, kissing down her neck. My hand was just above her belly button. I don't go anywhere without her permission. She continued what she had been trying to say earlier. "Let's go back to your cabin. . . ." I grinned, jumping up and threw her over my shoulder, sprinting back. She pounded on my back, but soon gave up. I threw her onto the bed, and made sure the door was shut correctly and close the curtains. I climbed back on top of her. "Now, where were we?" I asked. I leaned forward and kissed her. Tongues explored, and she pulled away. I gave her a confused look, and in response pulled off my shirt, her fingers tracing my eight pack. We kissed again, and my hand went a little higher. I pulled back and looked at her. She nodded, and I pulled off her shirt. I trailed my fingers across her six pack, moving up until I was tracing the outline of her bra and she shivered. We continued to kiss, but eventually we grew tired, because of today's experience, so we fell asleep. Both of us shirtless, (she still had on her bra, we hadn't gotten that far in our relationship yet) and my arms wrapped around her, holding her body to mine, under the covers.
