[In an attempt to cut him off, she leans in and kisses him... Slowly, as if to silence any doubt.]

I'd rather it not be so short, [she muses as she pulls back, smirking.]

[ If making him shut up was her goal, she succeeds. Anything else he might've said dies on his lips, and by the time Calypso pulls back, his eyes have dreamily fluttered shut. Leo has to give himself a mental shake to remind himself to open them again. ]

You know, it doesn't have to be a short kiss.

[Well, not when people aren't around at least. Calypso would rather keep it short if there was company present... but as there wasn't... She smiled slowly and tilted her head.]

That's excellent news.

[So, perhaps she's leaning in, pressing another kiss to his lips.]

[ Oh, well. This is nice. Leo takes a moment to savor it before he kisses back, smiling against her lips and letting the kiss linger. Stepping a little closer, he reaches for her hands, absently tapping out a short message in Morse code that he doesn’t even know if she’ll understand.

I love you. ]

[She's picked up a little here and there, so it takes her a moment to decipher the message. She pulls back just a little, a moment later, giggling as she bumps her nose against his...]

I love you too.

[It's whispered and she's kissing him again before he can say anything back, lacing her fingers with his.]

[ His breath catches, the only immediate indication of his surprise before Calypso kisses him again and he finds himself lost in her touch. Her hands are as soft as ever despite her work in the gardens and elsewhere, and he gives her hand a light squeeze as he returns her affections.

He’ll have to ask her about that later. But yeah. Longer kisses are definitely better. ]

[Calypso found herself smiling even more into the kiss after hearing his breath catch like that. In all of eternity, she'd never have believed to find someone who cared for her as much as he did... Who came back for her... who did everything he did.

She never imagined someone would love her and not leave her.

Yet here he was- and here she was. She parted her lips, deepening the kiss just so.... She moved his hands to the small of her back, letting go so she could move her hands to his and and behind his neck.]

[ So this is what he’s been missing for so many years, Leo thinks, happily complying. Having Calypso’s arms around him sends a little thrill all through his body, dissolving any trace of nervousness he might have felt as he melts into her touch. Her kiss is dizzying, the faint smell of cinnamon tickling at his nose when he presses back to brush his tongue over her bottom lip, all of his attention on her and how well they seem to fit together. ]

[Calypso traced small shapes at the back of his neck, just enjoying being this close to him... Being able to kiss him and be kissed back. But if he found her kiss dizzying, the way his tongue brushed over her lip was enough to make her melt against him.

The young goddess made a small sound at the back of her throat, akin to a soft moan or whimper, as she pressed closer to him. Her tongue followed his lead, her nails scratching lightly over his neck where she'd been tracing those shapes.]

[ Her waist, he’d noticing, was just as small and delicate and perfect as the rest of her, and it was so easy to just wrap his arms around her and hold her close. It didn’t matter that they were standing where anyone could see; Leo could stay here and kiss her forever, if that was what she wanted. He wouldn’t press, but he definitely took advantage of the way Calypso leaned into him, enjoying the sounds she made and the feeling of her tongue on his.

And if a soft sigh slipped from his lips at the feeling of her nails on his skin, he didn’t notice. It was so easy to get lost in her touch and forget everything else. ]

[The effect they had on each other was mind blowing- it still surprised Calypso, even now. They were still in public- something she was only vaguely aware of. But all she could see, feel, care about right now was Leo.

Needing to breathe was, unfortunately, something even goddesses had to do. So she pulled away reluctantly after a moment, smiling coyly as she caught her breath and nudged his nose with hers.]

I think I like this tradition...

[ By the time they pulled apart, there was a goofy, lovestruck grin on his face. This is something Leo had never expected to actually experience, something from teen dramas and movies that people always talked about but never actually did. And yet, here he was, kissing the love of his life under the mistletoe.

It was like a dream come true, even after all this time. ]

Really? ‘Cause I think I do, too.

[ There’s a sparkle in his eyes as he nudges her back. ]

And I could maybe go for celebrating it one more time…?

[Calypso was rather fond of that goofy look on his face. Then again, just about any look on his face made her heart beat just a little faster. As he continued, a giggle bubbled from her lips, her face bright. Well, if he wanted to celebrate it again-

The goddess reached out and brushed the back of her fingers lightly over his cheek, before twisting her wrist and cupping his face.]

I think I can do that…

[She wrinkled her nose, lips still so close to his with how reluctant she’d been to pull away, and tilted her head at a slight angle to kiss him again. Slow, sweet, with a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she deepened the kiss just so.]

I knew there was a reason I loved you.

[ Besides, you know, everything about her. From her cautious but kind personality (now that the dining table incident has passed) to her stunning good looks to that cute little laugh of hers, Calypso was irresistible, and Leo wouldn’t have it any other way.

Of course, her kisses were pretty great, too, so he eagerly met her lips. His arms tightened a little more around her waist, a subconscious move to pull her closer as his focus dissolved into the kiss and the feeling of her lips on his. ]
