KotLC Hangout!

Ro

      Keefe woke up to the sound of Sophie screaming. "Foster, what's wrong?!" He stormed in only to find Ro hunched over Sophie.

      "RO!!" He yelled, "What?" Ro asked him, with genuine curiosity. Keefe just sighed, "Let Sophie get ready, stop bothering her." 

      Ro held her hands up, "Sorry, I didn't realize your hot blondie lives with CAPTAIN HUNKYHAIR." Ro buffed her chest and pretended to be guarding Sophie's bed, walking like a penguin.

    Sophie cracked up so hard and Keefe cracked up at that too. Ro ruffled his hair. "I have to 'protect' my father from Cadfael. I had just enough time to drop by. Bye hunkyhair and blondie. Happy Sokeefe!" 

   Keefe blushed and Sophie turned away. But Keefe caught her before she did. "Mhmh!" Someone cleared their throat. They turned around to find Fitz. "Sophie can I talk to you?" She scowled, but said "Fine.." Keefe left them alone. 

   "Okay, I know this is gonna sound wrong but...what do you see in Keefe that you didn't see in me...?" Sophie stared daggers at him. "For one he doesn't care that I'm unmatchable. Second..I love him and he really cares about me too." 

   Fitz gritted his teeth and told Sophie everything and apologized for yesterday "Okay. I just...wish we were together longer before we broke up." He told her. "I have to go, Biana is waiting for me." Sophie nodded. 

   "NOPE! I'm right here!" Biana said, appearing out of thin air. "Vanishers." Fitz grumbled. "I can't believe you tried to kiss Sophie! Even after you knew she was dating Keefe!" Biana grabbed his hand and right before vanishing she told him, "We have a LOT to talk about."

   Sophie mouthed thanks to Biana and she mouthed no problem back. Sophie was secretly relieved. She went downstairs to find Keefe twiddling his thumbs on the couch. When he saw her, he immediately stood up. "So, how'd it go..?" He asked. Sophie looked down. "He...well..Biana came and dragged him away. She heard everything." Keefe's jaw dropped.

   "Oh wow. Did she say she'll tell anyone?" Sophie cocked her head to the side and replayed the memory.

   "No, I don't think so.. Or at least she didn't mention it." Keefe was relieved. "Are you ok though?" He asked, stepping closer. 

   Sophie nodded, "I think so." She faced forward (and up) to find Keefe smiling down at her as he squeezed her tighter and leaned his forehead against hers as he silently pleaded, "I love you, and I hope you realize THAT will never change, even if you stop liking me."

   Sophie stepped away, just to shake her head really, REALLY hard. She stepped in again to kiss him and when they pulled apart she asked, "Does that prove anything to you?" 

    Keefe smirked. But it faded a little,"Wait, did you ever tell Grady about us. Edaline would be fine with it..but Grady.." Sophie paled but shook her head."We..can hail them and tell them!" Keefe looked away as he whispered, "If Grady isn't okay with it..I'm so sorry Sophie... I-" Sophie cut him off and said, "that doesn't change a thing." She smiled, and he smiled back.

    "Show me Grady Ruewen!" She commanded the imparter. It took a second as Grady, with Edaline leaning in, appeared on the screen."Sophie! What's up!" 

    His tone was cheerful, but then his face grimmed and he asked "Did something happen? Are you-" .

    "I'm fine Dad, but umm.." She took a deep breath and handed the imparter to Keefe, "Keefe needs to tell you and Mom something!" He paled and he took a shaky breath and told him, "Okay..so me and Foster..are umm...kinda...together now.." 

     Grady looked confused, "You're hanging out? And you called to tell us...okay?" Sophie buried her face in the pillows as Keefe turned red and tore a hand through his hair as he said, "Well..It's not just that..me and Foster are living together for the next 2 weeks..." 

     Pausing to let Grady soak it in and since he was going all in he added, " And we're dating!" Keefe turned his head away, bracing for impact."So..you're..dating...my..daughter??" He asked. 

     "I guess as long as you treat her well..that's fine by me!!" He exclaimed. Keefe looked relieved and Sophie let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, as she got up from her pile of pillows to join Keefe in the imparter transmitter image.

     "Thanks Mom and Dad!" Sophie thanked as Keefe squeezed her hand." You're welcome!" They said in unison, as the imparter clicked off. Sophie collapsed into Keefe as he caught her and laughed, "It's alright Foster, BREATHE." 

     He told her, as he sent soothing breezes into her head."Thanks." Sophie said, straightening up. "So..what should we do now?" he asked, handing Sophie 2 vials of her medicine. Sophie looked horrified as she gulped it down. "OOH, how about a TRUTH OR DARE SLEEPOVER!!" Keefe squealed. 

     "Ugh, fine I'm in." Sophie groaned, clutching her stomach, knots twisting inside.

     "Woah, Foster you okay?" He caught her helping her stand again. "Yeah I guess!" Sophie answered. 

     Keefe jumped up and down like a 5 year old girl who had just received a pony for her birthday present, "Goody, I'll go call the crew, Cinnamon Roll, Bangs Boy," He imitated puking, "Sparkles Girl, Wonderboy, Splashes, and Fire Girl! That's it, right?" 

    He ticked them off his fingers from the study, when he heard a loud thud and raced out of the room to find Sophie collapsed on the floor.
