The Stories After

Part 5- Double Love?

( Narrator's POV )

Leo did his best to make Calypso feel at home for her first Christmas since he had rescued her from Ogygia. Zeus knows the last time she had celebrated Christmas. He placed mistletoe in EVERY doorway, trying to get as many kisses as he could off his girlfriend during the holiday season. And it worked, for Calypso loved to hear Leo sneakily shuffling behind her, and giggling when she walked through a doorway, eager for kisses and attention. 

This proved a problem as Calypso showed Percy through their new apartment. When they walked through the first doorway, Percy stopped and looked up, noticing the mistletoe hanging above the doorway. Calypso led him on for a while, leaning in, and placing her hand on Percy's broad shoulders. Percy, being unexpecting, went along with it, and when he was least paying attention, she playfully punched him right in the gut. He moaned, and the rest of the Seven came running through the doorway, hoping it wasn't yet another catastrophic nosebleed.

When they noticed what had happened, for a few of them it took quite a while, they doubled over in laughter, and layed on the floor cracking up for at least 5 minutes. Percy found it somewhat hilarious, but not really. He didn't particularly enjoy this type of stuff, as he was used to winning. You know, at chess, Monopoly, and at fighting cannabalistic giants with a need of a 20 year shower. 

Calypso was, however, amused and quite proud of herself.
