Imperfect Love (a Sokeefe fanfic)

Huh.

@crayonowl is a great author you should read her books.

POV Grady

What is that disgusting taste. A foul tasting fluid runs down the back of my throat. Huh. I am sick or something. As I slowly open my eyes light floods them making them water.

" Where am I." I croak.

" The Healing Center. Keefe said that he knocked you out in a boxing match you arranged so you break him and Sophie up if he lost." A familiar voice stated.

" Elwin? And Yes of course I tried to break up Sophie and Keefe. I know he's a good kid but I'm afraid that he'll break Sophie's heart, or worse kill her."

" Yes it's Elwin and why Keefe loves her so much."

" Well Brant loved Jolie and he killed her. Sophie acts so much like Jolie and I'm afraid she'll follow the same path."

" I would trust Sophie with anything. Except running down stairs." Elwin says, " She can take care of herself."

" I know, I know. Thanks Elwin. You really are a good doctor. I see why Sophie puts her trust in you." I say.

" Thanks. You can go home in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. all clear for light leaping,"

I raise my home crystal and leap back to Havenfield. Eda embraces me and then squishes my face, inspecting me for injuries.

" Brace yourself for yelling." She says before leading me inside.

" WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING!!!! MAKING KEEFE BOX YOU JUST SO YOU COULD WIN AND BREAK US UP!!!!!!!! IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY LOVE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sophie begins. Only pausing to take a breath. " LOOK AT KEEFE!!!!!!! HE IS SITTING ON MY BED RIGHT NOW THINKING THAT HE IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO APOLOGIZE OR I WILL MAKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Okay. I'm going."

I slowly trudge up the stairs. When I reach Sophie's room I push the door open softly. Keefe is curled up on Sophie's bed, head in his hands, rocking back and forth. Even though his arms muffle his sobs I can still hear them.

" Keefe?" He flinches when he hears my voice. " Look I'm sorry. I was scared and I wasn't thinking straight. I thought you might break Sophie's heart. You would never do that and I'm sorry. You're not worthless. In fact you're more deserving of Sophie than anyone I give you my blessing to be together." I say. And I'm surprised that I'm not worried about Sophie.

Keefe looks up. " Y-you mean it?" He asks. His eyes are red from crying.

" Yes Keefe." I say sitting next to him and wrapping him in a hug. At first he stiffens and then he relaxes.

" This is the first time one of my father figures has hugged me." Keefe says.

" Really? I mean Cassius wouldn't but he's wretched. Alden never hugged you?"

" No Della has, but never Alden." Keefe says. " I always figured he thought if he touched me he'd be contaminated." He hangs his head.

" Well then Alden had better wake up." I say. 

Keefe smiles a little.

" Would you like to spend the night? You know Sophie never has nightmares when you stay over."

" If you don't mind me I'd love to spend the night." Keefe says warily as if seeing if I'd retract the offer.

" We don't mind at all. Come on let's go downstairs. I'm sure Sophie will be happy to know you're staying the night."

I head downstairs with Keefe in tow. 

" Keefe!" Sophie says tackling him with a hug. He stumbles backward and lands on his butt, laughing as Sophie kisses all over his face.

I smile. They really are meant for each other.

hey so I really wanted to do a scene where Grady and Keefe have a moment and Grady apologizes cause you have no idea how painful it is to be called That Boy.
