Edaline glared at them and they both looked down in guilt. What do you want with me now? he said sarcastically, I though youd be spending all youre time with your new boyfriend. Maybe hell warm up to the idea? Keefe asked hopefully. Lady Cadence was one of her toughest mentors yet, and she had made it clear from their first meeting that she wasn't exactly Sophie's biggest fan. As Sophie reclined her seat on the airplane, she reached into her suitcase and pulled out the airplane pillow shed bought at the airport gift shop. I really like it. Sophie contemplated pulling them into a Starbucks to order some drinks before their flight took off, but the idea of her friends with caffeine made her keep walking. A slight steam drifted off the food as Keefe served them both spaghetti on one large plate. By this time tomorrow well be on the plane back to San Francisco, so today was our last chance for us to be truly alone together. Im glad youve come to the same conclusion I did., Yeah, me too. Updates will be random. The Neverseen have been working against me for years. As a friend though, and I wouldnt want anything to change that. And so are you. As a friend, she added, and Keefe chuckled. Good night, Fitz. Everyone else splashed in the waves, Linh discreetly throwing arrows of water at Tam while Fitz, Keefe, Dex, and Marella pretended not to notice. Sophie and her friends sat eating candy while listening to Cora as she went over the plan. We were We saw a sea turtle! Keefe blurted out, and Sophie resisted the urge to facepalm at his bad acting. I'm sorry I brought that up, Keefe said softly, That wasn't fair of me. Syrup and whipped cream dribbled down her chin slightly. Promise never to do that again, it was torture waiting to publish this story that I had written literally days before you guys even hit ten reads. Never forget that. Keefe snorted in background as Sophie flushed and awkwardly looked away. It was all worth it though, when Sophie received the detention slip from her Polyglot mentor and opened the door of the detention room, to see a smirking boy with eyes so blue, they seemed to see right to her soul. So, how did your talk with Biana go? Sophie asked, trying not to think about Fitz anymore. "Come snuggle with me instead.". Oh. #foster Tam was comforting Linh, but Sophie knew he was just as scared as his sister. Was I supposed to? Keefe answered quizzically. Thanks for reading, enjoy! shortstory love stellarlune +22 more # 6 Seventeen | Soulmate AU | by 359K 8.7K 60 Its not your fault. It felt really warm and safe under that tree. The shuttle rumbled along through the breathtaking scenery as their hotel came into view. He gave her a half smile, and she couldn't hold it in any longer. Dex was tinkering, Linh was watching a movie about mermaids, and Tam was asleep, a few girls openly staring at him as he snored. You know me so well! Sophie gasped in surprise when she saw her. I think he went back to the hotel, Dex slowly began, to get some human candy., Nice try, but I already used that excuse. #alwaysopentosuggestionsorcomments We could all use a little more weird, he said with a wink. Why wouldnt everything be okay? Do you mean that you and Keefe- he was cut off by Cora, who addressed Sophie, Youre not making any sense to the rest of us, so we would appreciate it if you started explaining., Fine, she replied, hoping that this would be over quickly, at the very least, Uh. But Sophie is struggling to keep up. Sophie reached towards his hand and this time he didnt let go. It wasn't your fault- really, Keefe said when she looked away, It was really mine and Fitzs, we could've made the choice to not let it come between us. And what Cora had said? You know everything I said before, about wanting to stay friends? Sophie hesitated, but kept talking, Well, I think we could be more than that. IDK. Ive been coming here every year since I was a kid, and it never gets old, Cora remarked, settling down next to her newfound friends. Sophieisn't sure about herself. He was being a huge jerk about it and was obviously mad. sokeefe cuddling fanfiction. Foster here might be willing to give you a second chance, but we have somewhere to be, so spill it.. + Sophie jumped, not having noticed him creep up on her. Linh, Tam, yours are this silver blue aquamarine, and Marella, yours is made of zircon. he finished. I'm glad you did. Keefe gulped, Okay. He looked as nervous as she felt. Just friends, nothing more. Friends. He never minded when Sophie touched him. He poured them each a tall wineglass of sparkling water, a slight foam building before subsiding into a crystal-clear drink. #kotlc Not wanting to make more of a scene, or give Marella and Cora another reason to tease her, Sophie simply vowed to ask Keefe about it later. I have that effect sometimes. Keefe stared off into the distance in a way that was probably supposed to be dramatic, even though he was only wearing swim trunks. This was so sweet of you.. Just friends? I mean, kinda Sophie trailed off. Subtle gold embroidery climbed the neckline and hem. Do you think Sophie will like you more with those kinds of jokes? What happens when Sophie and Keefe start dating? Even now she could hear him whispering words they weren't supposed to say under his breath. She knew Keefe would feel the change in her mood and know exactly why she was feeling that way. Thanks for inviting me to sit with you, I kind of needed somebody to sit with. Where have you been? Once again, Sophie was left speechless. I can blame myself for what my mom does. Three Two One! As he counted down, everyone prepared to open their gifts, and when he hit one, they all looked inside the black boxes. Sophie was more than happy to wait. Mhmm, she said softly. Where is he actually? For Day 4 of HitchLowe Week 2023; Cuddling/Comfort. Together, they walked to the jetway and boarded, ready to start a new adventure. Im not that oblivious! UPDATE: Keefes thoughts chapter. Thoughts racing, Sophie tried to come up with a reply that would explain the way she felt toward her friend. They walked past the overly expensive but totally worth it gazebos, and up past waterfalls, fountains, and pools to the main hotel. I have a photographic memory though, so at least I have some mental pictures. Sophie replied, trying to phrase her words in a way that wouldnt make Cora suspicious. Yep, we're just waiting on Keefe. Yeah lets go, Keefe answered quickly, almost running out the door. End of story. Keefe. Dont worry about him, okay?. Soooo.. Keefe said after a nervous and awkward silence. She liked Keefe, she really did, and she didnt want to hide their relationship. Keefe cringed, Sorry, that was a nice way of letting me down gently Foster. He reverted back to his usual name for her, and somewhere inside of her ached in sadness, though she didnt want to think about why. Actually, he did ask that I made sure you didnt try and follow him, so. But something was missing in this picture. Biana just had to find the perfect dress for Sophie, and you know how long that normally takes. Umm, okay. She was sure she didn't breathe for at least a minute. Realizing she didnt even know the girls name, she gave a quick wave, motioning for her to sit near them. I know Daddy Dearest will be happy considering youre basically the most famous elf in the lost cities and also already in the nobility as a regent, Keefe said, easing her nerves a little. No, she said, stopping him from leaving, It was fair of you to bring that up after I brought up Dex.. As the plane flew across the ground at a pace that felt way too fast to actually be slowing down, she could feel Keefes grip tighten even more on her arm, something she hadnt thought was possible. Its okay if you cant right now, but I just have something I wanted to say. Fitz stepped out into the hall, hands fidgeting nervously. Youre better at human constellations than I am. Keefe held his hands up in mock defeat, but he was struggling not to laugh. Yup. Sophie felt the guilt radiating off of her in waves, and she was sure Keefe could feel it too. Biana scowled, elbowing Fitz and knocking him back a step and into the suitcases. I dont mind dealing with Grady as long as I can be with you.. She could see the confusion playing across his face as she took a deep breath for what felt like the 100th time during their conversation. They crashed together, nearly falling in a heap, and they were so busy untangling themselves that it took several seconds for them to realize that they had made it to their friends. Her friends are lying to her and she doesn't know the whole truth. Yeah, youre right. It really was. Soon, they reached their gate, and found some seats nearby. ! Linh asked, her voice several octaves higher than it was usually. It was the dress she had bought during Bianas shopping spree several days ago. Rated: Fiction K+ - English - Romance/Hurt/Comfort - [Hitch D., Marlo F.] [Hitch, Marlo] - Words: 407 - Published: 7m ago . The pre-drama version at least.. Sophie and Keefes mood on their walk back to their friends felt completely different now than when they had first left to talk. It's delicious Keefe, I can't believe you cooked thisall yourself! Smooth, Fitzy. It seemed even more magical now, in the warm light of the room, than it had before. Can I talk to you? This is just a a short little KOTLC SoKeefe fanfic :) It's staged in the middle of book four of the KOTLC series, where the Keeper Crew is banned from the Lost Cities and are living in Alluveturre, one of the Black Swan's hideouts. She's been known too, ah, cause 'problems' with her 'clumsiness', in CONTAINS SPOILERS Sophie Foster is confused. Why is this taking so long? Fitz remarked, turning back to look at his friends. Quickly, Sophie changed out of her beach clothes and into the flowy red dress. Sophie hurriedly packed her suitcase, wishing she had started packing a little sooner. If we teleported, we would basically give elves away to everyone around us by falling out of the sky.. For the last time, this is wonderful. It was too late to fold the pile of clothes swiftly building up in her suitcase. Pairings: Sophie and Keefe, Tam and Biana, Dex and Marella, Wylie and Linh, and Fitz and Stina. Something big. It wasn't good. However, she blushed seeing Cora softly elbow Biana with a wiggle of her eyebrows. She sat up, wondering where he could have gone. This is really good, no wonder you ordered it. Sophie couldnt believe he preferred the crepe to the waffles, which she already wanted more of. Dex, Marella, and Fitz all ordered single flavors; blue raspberry, root beer, and vanilla respectively. We kissed. She buried her face in her hands, not ready to face everyones reactions. Of course it was. Were going to go to a couple of different stores to shop, and then well get a late lunch at my favorite place, and itll all be great. Ill also have that. I know better than anyone how my brother can get sometimes, and it takes a lot of strength to speak up. Before she could change her mind, she shoved her face towards his. After a few minutes, they pulled apart, mouths tugging into identical sappy smiles. He stretched, waking up from a nap, and looked over in her direction. Keefe Sencen is terrified. Ill have on Tropical Twist please, Linh came up beside her, and ordered the same thing, saying. Fitzs eyes flashed with annoyance as the group awkwardly looked between Keefe and Sophie. Biana asked. I hope this doesn't affect our friendship, it didn't with Dex, though it did take a little while for the awkwardness to subside.. Then I basically broke up with him for the second time. Keefe had just come back from a one on one conversation with the Neverseen(a cold blooded group of murderers intent on harming Sophie and her friends) and he hadnt told her where he was going until it was too late. This is just a a short little KOTLC SoKeefe fanfic :) It's staged in the middle of book four of the KOTLC series, where the Keeper Crew is banned from the Lost Cities and are living in Alluveturre, one of the Black Swan's hideouts. You can have some of mine if you want.. Sophie said, rising up off the desk chair and letting Keefe guide her to the soft chair in the corner of the room. Hey there Foster! Keefe called with a smirk, looking doubtfully at the mountain of clothes. #teamfoster-keefe Besides, who knows what well end up doing on this trip? No, dont try to make me feel better. When Grady and I got married. Do boyfriends and girlfriends lean on each other? Im just glad we got out of there before nightfall, Marella replied sarcastically, grinning. But I dont know how youre going to hide your obvious love for me, Keefe joked, cracking a smile. Madly, Sophie said with an obvious eye roll. Its your choice, and if you dont want to sign up for your match lists, then theres nothing I can do to stop you. Yep, Sophie confirmed, amused by her friends reaction. But for some reason, a mysterious group wants to kill her. But seriously, he continued, Im glad you finally stood up for yourself., Me too. she replied, But I should probably check in with Biana now that I basically shut down my friendship with her brother.. Jealousy maybe? Grabbing a sweater, Sophie left the room and entered the hallway, where Keefe was waiting. Sophie twined her arms around his neck and leaned in closer to him, until she was almost engulfed into his embrace. Hi! I forbid it. Well, were going to teleport to a sort of hidden part of the San Diego International Airport, I would teleport us straight to Kauai but Ive never been there. Nothing was wrong, all of her worries from the trip had disappeared, now everything was perfect. She'd expected that, but it didn't make it any less intense. The story is done, but any feedback would still be appreciated. What about us? It looks pretty bad.. Sophie was not looking forward to this conversation again. First off, the Neverseen are trying to kidnap her friends. It's not you, its me, she continued, cringing at the clich line, You are an amazing person and I could spend a lot of time listing the reasons why, but I'm sorry. Please, have a seat, he offered, helping her onto one of the plush cushions scattered across the clearing. Regrouping with Keefe, she felt freer than she had in years. What took you so long? Dex asked, standing a few feet away with the rest of their friends. She hated talking about this, even more than she hated talking about telling Grady. You guys have to try some.. The group laughed, remembering the many times that had been said before. As they kept trying on clothes, Sophie thought about what Biana had said. Instead, she turned back to her already melting shave ice, and vowed to just enjoy her vacation. Sophie, not bothering to play along, said "I already know your voice Keefe, and you ruined the surprise by calling me Foster, you're the only one that calls me that anyway. Dex was more interested than afraid, and she knew he would be full of questions when they finally landed. I hate to admit it, but I do have a lot more work to do, and I get if you dont want to be friends again right away. Sophie flopped onto her bed after a long afternoon of working in the pastures. I wanted to try and salvage our friendship, but he started talking about being Cognates, and trust, and I just couldnt take it any more. Sophie strolled over to the boys suite. Soooooo, she said awkwardly, Are you ready now?. Even though she felt bad about being so harsh, it felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. And even if it was your fault, which it isn't in any way, youre worth it Foster. Its supposed to be a flying horse, but, Thats supposed to be a pegasus? Sophies heart beat faster, rushing with guilt and sadness. Meanwhile, Biana, Dex, and Fitz wandered off to look at different parts of the airport. Theres no reasonable explanation for why we arent off the plane already.. She looked at the screen. But its totally different. Sorry we took so long, we were she trailed off, staring at Keefe and hoping he would provide an excuse. Across the aisle, Sophie could tell that the human girl was talking to Fitz and Biana, and she was glad that they werent freaking out like Keefe was. Dex snickered and whispered back, I brought balding serums. Sophie barely resisted the urge to groan and hit him over the head with a suitcase. No, Sophie, she told herself. Why would I be mad at you? He's doing his hair, you should go in and get him. His hands rested on her hips, sending heat to places it shouldn't have. You prefer the crepes? she questioned, wondering why she hadnt ordered waffles herself. No buts. Wow. Well just have to wait it out., Of course. Hey guys! Soon, it became apparent that the pasta wasnt going to stay in just one piece. "What are you doing? You are amazing. But for now, just be happy. Keefe said, and Sophie nodded, finally letting herself relax for the first time on this vacation. Keefe?. I'm a little cold, Sophie shivered, I didn't even know that was possible in Kauai. Keefe shrugged in acceptance as the whole group groaned. It's hard to describe, Ill just show you, He pulled out a small black box out of the bags, handing it to Sophie. Where did you get that scar? Cora asked suspiciously, looking at the stab wound that Dimitar had given Keefe during their spar. Didnt you bring a book? I believe in you, and so does everyone else. Keefe replied, sounding serious for once. High above them, a crescent moon glowed, illuminating the water. Keefe sighed in obvious relief, his previous embarrassment disappearing. Ill tell you what's wrong with you: absolutely nothing. After finishing, he turned and walked down to the elevators, pausing several feet away to let her catch up. People around turned their heads as she whispered, Sorry. Keefe cracked up as she turned back to keep watching the movie. Well take two bags of potato chips, two bottles of lemonade and two chocolate bars, Sophie told the stewardess pushing the drink cart. Keefe just smirked, but she could see a tint of pink in his cheeks too. She breathed in the scent, dreamily picturing herself with Keefe, eyes looking into the other's.. Sophie shook her head, clearing the image. Isnt it beautiful here? It definitely wasn't, the words were barely audible but they made all the difference. They stayed like that for a long time, sitting quietly in the calm before Sophie felt her snuggle-induced drowsiness overtake her and could feel her eyelids drooping by the second. When you stopped communicating with me I thought- Sophie stopped herself, not wanting to even think about something bad happening to him. It was too late to fold the pile of clothes swiftly building up in her suitcase. Seriously, how did Verdi get that dirty? Yep! Sophie replied, standing up, Lets go.. When Sophie turned seventeen, Edaline and Grady made the surprise they were going to have another kid. :). Check. Those stars, those are Centaurus. All I cared about was that you felt okay. She felt better now that they had talked about tit even if it hadnt felt good in the moment. One row behind, Linh stared eagerly out the window, while Tam and Dex inspected their surroundings. Sophie is only about to be seventeen and finds out the reason she can hear people's thoughts is that she's an elf. I still want to be friends with you, and right now, this just feels awkward. Besides, Im not sure the kiss wouldve worked out as well as it did in the movie., Thanks for understanding. Fitzy. Oh no. There were a lot of trials to come with matchmaking and less difficult, but still incredibly trying, with Grady. And Keefe? Yeah, we saw a turtle, and we didnt want to scare it away, but it was blocking our path so we had to wait for it to go away.. Gate 8 now boarding, all passengers of flight 16b to Kauai please report to Gate 8. The attendant repeated, their voice amplified by the speakers overhead. He quieted down as he dug into the lemon and sugar dusted deliciousness, leaving Sophie grinning at his exuberance. Besides, hell warm up to you eventually once he gets used to us. And however much I want to, I cant just give you some custard bursts and a half thought out apology. See you later.. She frowned and put her own arms around his torso holding him against her. That makes sense, should we go do that now? She asked, cringing at the thought of the conversation. Sophie sat at her desk in her bedroom, staring at her homework assignment, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration. How is it? Keefe asked nervously. Are you sure? She was about to start out the door when Keefe interrupted her leaving. Grady isn't exactly my biggest fan., Sophies stomach felt like she had eaten rocks for dinner. Hey, Dex, where did Keefe go? she called out to her friend, who was lying down on a towel a couple of feet away. Now, try this one on.. He didn't mind that she was messing up his hair. "Keefe, I have something to say to you," Sophie said, inhaling before she chickened out, " I. Back in San Diego, even before the fires, the light pollution had made it near impossible to see any stars at all. Do you want something else? he inquired, noticing her staring at his plate. His shoulders relaxed when he saw she was joking. ", "My Polyglot homework, or I was before I was rudely interrupted. Thanks for reading, enjoy! Even with the night growing later and the moment fleeting, it was and always would be a perfect vacation. Oh, its fine, she assured him, pausing to thank the waiter as her food arrived. "Yeah, I understand that. It was beautiful and unique, but not flashy. Thank you so much., Dex, Keefe continued, your ring is made of tanzanite, since it was the closest to periwinkle I could find., Dex grinned, You got them to match our eye color! Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! Thankfully, I had Juline," Edaline said, grabbing a few bobby pins for Biana. You could never be done Sophie. "No wonder the Neverseen captures you so easily. But it only took a second for Keefe to break the silence, his tone serious. Sophie rolled her eyes, but couldn't hold back a smile. Biana gestured to the stack of dresses on one of the changing room chairs. Cora walked up to the ordering window, and quickly stated her order. It didnt mean anything that Keefe had chosen the same flavor, did it? What it was, she didnt know, but she chose to ignore it, instead sinking deeper into the soft airplane seat and Keefes tight hold on her arm. More episodes to come! Sorry, its going to be the most private place there, Sophie said with a small cringe. Their lips touched, and she heard Keefe squeak, not that different from what Dex had done during her first kiss. Something Sophie just couldnt put her finger on. You would do that? Keefe asked in delight, grabbing Sophies plate and swapping it for his. It tastes just like plain pasta, Sophie replied, a little sheepish for asking. I'm so sorry Keefe, I caused so much fighting and drama between you and Fitz. She didn't see Keefe yet, so she ducked in more, just to see him styling his hair as he lip synced into his comb. You have potato chip crumbs on your face, He said as he reached up to brush them off her cheek. Each suite had two bathrooms, two bedrooms, each with two beds, and a small living room and kitchen space. Sophie sighed again, feeling herself slowly succumb to Keefe's charms. His eyes went wide and Biana's smile grew and he yanked his hand out of Sophie's, promptly waking her up. Im just looking out for you guys. Arent you forgetting something? He asked, waving a bright blue elephant in a Hawaiian shirt in the air. Thanks for the 15 reads guys! Sophies heart stopped. Agh, Im sorry, this wasnt how it was supposed to go. And that's not all- Alden Vacker- someone who'd been looking for her's mind is broken. Ive come to realize that whenever I get angry, I tend to take it out on you, and thats not okay. "Keefe!" Sophie exclaimed hugging him,and not caring about how close she was to his body. "Oh hey." Sophie said once she got over the element of surprise. Aww, thats one of my favorite movie moments of all time! Sophie mentioned. This is just a ton of short stories of SoKeefe so yeah. It was another day before Sophie was able to talk to Biana. Well, they have a lot of farmers markets and fun stores, and fancy restaurants you could go to with your boyfriend, Sophie, Cora said wiggling her eyebrows, Yknow the blonde one, Keefe right?. The wheels touched the ground softly, as the plane screamed to a slower pace with an ear-shattering rumble. It had small straps and was about knee length. It's going to be the best wedding ever!" You too. You're welcome Foster, Keefe said with a forced smile. Even though this homework was from her Polyglot class, which normally came easy to her because of her special ability, she still took the homework very seriously. Truth or Dare/Sleepover A SoKeefe fan fiction story This is a fan fic I have made about the Keeper team getting together for a sleepover and playing some games, leading to spilled tea and mild drama. She was sick and tired of Fitz acting this way, and she needed him to know that. Cora, I know we just met you, but I wanted to make sure you felt part of the group, her ring was a striking green emerald, and she looked back and forth between it and Keefe several times before saying, Wow. I think we need to talk to Biana and Fitz, Sophie took a deep breath, Fitz seems jealous and angry, which honestly isn't too surprising. Find out what happens, tomorrow in Confession- A Sokeefe Fanfic *this is my 1st fan fiction* please don't judge. I need to pack everything else., Anything to get us out the door faster. Sophie blushed as she asked, What? Keefe smiled. Sophie suspected hed be in for amucheasier discussion than she was. This would have also been embarrassing and made her turn red like crazy but right now she didnt care. She was done letting him sweet talk her into giving him another chance. I told him he was being selfish and that I didn't feel like we had a healthy relationship. How are you alive? Keefes grip had been clamped shut around her arm with a grip of iron since the descent had had been announced. Yeah, this is for us. Theres normally some kind of sauce or topping., Its ok, Im pretty picky about the sauce anyway, so it's nice to not have to worry about that.. That was something. Sophie didnt quite know what to say now that Fitz had left. Hope you enjoy!!! Sophie Im sorry I just wanted to-, Protect me? I actually prefer the waffles, so we could switch if you wanted to.. Keefe laughed, but there was no humor behind it. Didn't see you there Foster, he mumbled, his eyes dropping to the ground in embarrassment. Are you ok Miss Foster? Sandor asked, shoving Keefe aside. Having a photographic memory really comes in handy sometimes. Login to review. Sophie? Cora said, waving her hand in front of her face, Earth to Sophie, Huh? I didn't want to cancel the whole trip so here I am. She winked. You cant blame yourself for what they do. Sophie reached towards his hand, but he blocked her. He pulled out seven more identical boxes, tossing them to each one of his friends, even giving one to Tam, and saving one last box for himself. As if her friends wouldnt be conspicuous enough, they all looked like movie stars compared to most humans. And you already know Fitz and Biana of course. Sophie pointed to each person in turn. (yes, i know bri just posted a wedding oneshot, but this isn't like the one she posted, this is completly different. Thats Orroro. Even though she knew Keefe also had a photographic memory, she couldnt help but show off a little. Everything will be fine.". Hi! Good night, Fitz echoed, seeming exhausted from all the talking, Thanks for hearing me out. He left, and then the two of them were alone in the hall once more.
