Let us not forget that part of Calypso's curse was to fall in love with whoever lands on her island, so only a matter of time before she showed affection for Leo, who responded to this affection with affection and then love.

Mean while we have Solangelo in which they knew each other since but only started talking the day that the Gaia arrived, in which Will is insensitve towards Nico (innocently, he doesn't know of Nico's struggles) and Nico isquite irritated with Will.

The next day they are in love and all of a sudden Percy, who he was head-over-heels in love with for almost three years, is a cute clown and Will is the real deal. He didn't gave up Percy for Will, Nico was already starting to get over him since HoH, Heck, at the time, Nico didn't even knew if Will liked him in that way,  he confessed to Percy because of Nico's choose to stay in CHB, mening that they were going to see each other pretty often and he wanted to clear things.

He is not reducing Percy to a "happy clown", but seeing Percy as Percy, not an idol or invencible hero. he still likes and cares for him, and was genuinely happy for Percy and Annabeth going to college together, they are moving on with their lives and he should move on too.

Doesn't that sounds messed up? Calypso is forced to fall in love, there is not consent, It just happens and Leo is perfectly fine with that. But when he landed in her island, she clearly disliked him, (Oceanhalo has nice quotes to prove it above) And was even kind of cruel to him because of something that was not his fault.

Will was insensitive to Nico but there is no doubt that his intentions were good, He tried to shake Nico from the toxic mentality of "Nobody wants me around and I don't belong anywhere", It would be more insensitive doing nothing.

And Nico was irritated with Will for his constant scoldings, because Nico was in mortal danger and really close to fade in the darkness but he still was using his powers.

Will actions came from worry, not from hostility or something similar. Unlike...

"Calypso obviously didn’t want to see him. One time he poked his head inside the cave and she freaked out, yelling and throwing pots at his head"

Yeah, Solangelo started to talk more after Gaia, but there was already some mutual respect between the two, and having butterflies in the stomach is one of the very FIRST signs of liking someone, not being in love.

They are just teenagers dating because they want to and they can break up if they feel like it, both are free to choose and its not like there is an outside magical force pushing them together and they are going to almost kill themselves for the other.
