@Sheechiibii: Now wait just a second here. You're trying to make Calypso look like some kind of tramp that acted all sweet and nice because Percy was there. I think you need to go back and re-read that part, the situation was obviously not like anything you've described, you're pretty much talking from really unclear memory. She had just as much time in PJO as she did in HoO, literally four chapters in both books and she actually starts acting nice to Leo for only three-four days before she falls in love with him and the magic raft appears. Leo also found Calypso good to look at, those are his first thoughts about her, who exactly are you trying to fool here? Almost all of his thoughts about Calypso are about how hot she is. Now if you're gonna tell me that there's nothing wrong with Leo noticing that, save your breath. It's one thing to compliment your gf (or in Leo's case the girl he barely knows) and another to be fixated on their appearance.

Are you actually trying to compare Caleo and Solangelo? Because the main difference between them is that Solangelo is the beginning of something. RR didn't make Nico and Will declare eternal love to one another and swear on the River Styx. The held hands, they like each other's company, Will made Nico finally understand that he's welcomed in CHB, there was nothing exaggerated, nothing that would make the reader roll their eyes. Caleo? Leo pretty much stated that he fell in love with her and she returned the feelings. Have you not read the part where he wants to open Leo and Calypso's repair shop? This is the exaggerated pairing. You barely know a person and you're planning to spend the rest of your life with them, ignoring the family and friends you made thus far?

Leo literally thinks that flying with Calypso into the sunset is a priority, have we not read the same book? It's nothing but a wonder to me at what great lengths Leo fans go in order to excuse his actions. He's not planning on going back to CHB, he never states that, he even says when he thinks of his friends 'let them know' not 'seeing them'. Thus it's pretty clear he's talking about a message and not actually going back. Also, he says 'somewhere' when talking about fixing Festus, not going to CHB. He can very well fix him anywhere, he doesn't need the Bunker 9 anymore to do it. You're just assuming that he's going back because you're trying to justify his actions but he literally gave no signs of wanting to go back. His dream is to open Leo and Calypso's repair shop, nowhere does it say it's gonna be in CHB. Leo's whole miserable arc is about him never fitting in and having to get a gf in order to finally be happy. I hate to break it to you but he has little ties with CHB anymore. Also, again and for the last time, nothing was stopping him from contacting his friends AFTER he left the island. We see them flying away, why couldn't we get a scene where he does that? Oh that's right, because copying the scene from Aladdin and singing "I can show you the world!" was definitely more important than letting his friends know he was alive. He realizes he has no idea how much time passed since he 'died', it could have been a week, a month, a year so he makes note of that but again he doesn't care.

Everything that you're trying to use in order to defend Leo's actions is just assumption. You HOPE this is going to happen but nothing in canon can back you up.
