Percy Jackson/Heroes Of Olympus Headcanons & One-Shots

Caleo Special (Valentine's Day One-Shot)

Leo blinked a few times and proceeded to cover his eyes as sunlight filled his cabin. He sat up and stretched while looking around his cabin. All his cabin mates had already gotten up and left him sleeping. I have the best half siblings in the world, he thought while yawning.

Suddenly that feeling of gratitude turned to anger. Today's Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day. They didn't wake him up on VALENTINE'S DAY! He glanced at his clock. 8:23 am. "Styx." he muttered. Not that he had somebody to spend it with or anything. It's just... he was supposed to leave early this morning to search for a girl. A girl that no one was supposed to ever find twice.

After a few minutes of staring into space, Leo snapped into reality and jumped out of bed. He brushed his teeth and took a shower. The minute he was done, he sprinted out of Cabin 9 and went in search of his friends and family. Well logically everybody there was his family but you get the picture. First, he went to find his half brothers and and half sisters; 1) he wanted to say goodbye to them first, considering they were his biggest relation to family there and 2) to give them a scolding about knowing this special day and not telling him.

Once he found all of them, he announced,

"Guys, I'll be leaving soon for Ogygia. Goodbye. And the next time you know something that means so much to me, please remind me or wake me up." he turned on his heels but stopped abruptly when he heard Jake, now fully recovered speak up.

"Actually, that won't be necessary. Stay here until 7 and if you're not happy then you can go."

Leo was about to explode. "Jake," he said trying to keep his calm, "I've planned this for months. You can't just tell me not to go. You know how important she is to me."

Jake nodded. "I know. But let's say you die on your way there, we won't be able to show you your surprise." He chuckled menacingly.

Okay he's really lost it, Leo thought. He tried to reason with Jake. "Why can't you just show me now?"

"Cause then it won't be a surprise. The timing must be right. Right guys?"

He tilted his head to look down at the sitting campers, who all nodded eagerly.

"Besides," Nyssa said, twirling her braid, "Not all of us are single."

Leo looked surprised. "You have a boyfriend?"

Nyssa facepalmed. "It doesn't mean that I have one, just that others do." Then she changed her fierce look into an innocent, pleading one. "So please just stay until 7, if you don't like it then you can go bye-bye."

As much as he loved Nyssa, he hated it whenever she did this to him. He gave a sigh as a sign of defeat.

"Fine. But it better be good. he warned.

Just as he walked away from them, he could've sworn Callum said, "Oh it is. It will be the best ever."

Leo ingored that last statement and carried on walking, completely oblivious to the pair of eyes watching his every move. The mouth belonging to this figure whispered his name like it healed her heart afer being shredded to pieces but then aching each time she said it. "Leo." she said in a annoyance and worry. "Don't do anything stupid. Not until tonight."

That night, Leo was impatient the whole time. When seeing how agitated he was, Percy gave him a nudge. "Hey you alright dude?" he saie, his voice dripping with concern. To Leo, Percy was a great brotherly figure. Leo returned him a weak smile. "Yeah man. Just a bit tired."

Percy gave him a weird look. "Well whatever man. I gotta see Annabeth. Stay safe." They were just parting ways when Percy grabbed Leo by the shoulder. Leo yelped.

"Dude! What was that for?"

Percy gave him the ultra dead serious look, ones he rarely gave, even on the Argo II when their lives were on the line.

"Don't leave for Ogygia yet."

"Uh man I've already been warned." he joked. He gave a pained smile. "Not going until most probably 7." Percy sighed in someting like relief.

"That won't be neccesary." Percy winked.

"Why?"

"Wait until 7. Then you'll find out."

"Um ok?" He glanced at his watch again. "So I guess 3 minutes to go before my surprise huh?"

Percy's eyes widened as he dragged Leo to the dining area. "Sit." he ordered.

Leo sat down. One by one the campers came and settled themselves at their respective tables. Leo felt impatient. He was anxious to get his surprise and just leave already. That's when everything went black.

"Guess who?"

Leo exhaled in relief as he realized that it was only a pair of hands covering his eyes. They were smooth and smelled of rose and strawberry lotion. But the thing that made Leo's heart beat rapidly was the voice. He recognized it. He was supposed to be searching for those hands. That voice.

"Cal-Calypso?"

The hands were removed from his face and now stood a smiling girl with caramel coloured hair that smelled of cinnamon and almond shaped eyes in front of him.

"It's you! It's really you!!!" Leo jumped from his seat and picked the girl up.

Calypso giggled. "Nice to see you too."

"Aren't you supposed to stay in Ogygia like, forever?"

"I was pleading to Zeus to let me go. I wanted to see you again."

"Girl," he said touching her nose with one hand and the other on his waist. "that is the best thing you could've done."

They were leaning in when they heard a cough. "Ahem. We're still here." a voice said.

Leo faced the camper. Or campers. At least 2 dozen of them were standing in front of him. And that's when he came into realization.

"You guys knew, didn't you?"

Joshua, another one of his siblings stepped forward. "She came when you were sleeping. We were about to wake you up when she told us she wanted to surprise you. So we said ok."

Leo looked at Calypso. "Where did you hide? My tracking device always senses um, things or people who are foreign to camp. The only thing that appeared was something in a tree..." Leo smacked his head. "Of course! You were hiding in a tree!"

Calypso smirked. "You can thank a tree nymph for that."

"So you came. Honestly, I can't believe it. For me too."

"Leo, you know when that raft appeared that I would always try to get back to you."

"But the main reason is for Valentine's Day."

Leo was about to kiss her when he remembered something. He turned to face the campers, who were watching everything. "Could you guys just, you know." He made a shooing gesture at them. They all nodded and slowly walked away.

"Now. We can begin."

Leo kissed her, for real this time, and he could feel his head catching on fire. When he pulled away he frowned. "Will you be going back?"

"Afraid not. Looks like I'm gonna spend my whole life here."

"Really? Well I guess it's time to open Leo and Calypso's Garage where I fix the stuff-"

"-and I make the food."

Calypso sighed. "I've missed you, you know."

"I missed you too. But now we won't ever have to miss each other because I'll alwys be by your side."

They hugged and exchanged simple words that carry so many meanings.

"Happy Valentine's Day. I love you."

Calypso started crying.

"Nobody ever said that. Thank you so much for giving me the love I needed. I love you too."
