Good Match (A sokeefe [kotlc] fanfiction)

Chapter Eleven

a/n: Idek what to write here today. Okay apparently I do since there are now two author notes. This one with a story the bottom one with an explanation.

Ooh! So I have a crush on my friend, who's a senior, and it's horrible because he's not even cute and he's probs going to college and I'll probs never see him again after this year. WHY LIFEEEEE?

SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE SO TO MAKE UP FOR IT I ADDED IN A SOKEEFE SCENE THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE

She walked into the store, a belching noise coming from the door signalling her entrance. "Sophie!" Kesler greeted enthusiastically. "Dex didn't tell me you were coming. I'll go ge-"

"Please don't," she interrupted. "He's been avoiding me."

"Why?"

"Because I asked him a question about his and Biana's relationship and he got embarrassed," she explained. "How do you feel about them, anyways?"

He shrugged. "Dex spent a lot of his childhood hating the Vackers, it's kind of funny he's marrying one."

"Marrying?" Her eyes widened.

"Well, not yet but something tells me maybe one day. Juline keeps telling him to pop the question already. They've been together for a few months now, right?"

"I know humans who dated for ten years before even getting engaged, and then waited another year to get married. It's crazy how you guys get married so quickly." She sighed.

He smiled softly. "Just the adults. Teenagers date and grow into adulthood and stay dating then get married a lot too. Just look at Biana's old friend and her husband. . . Uh. . ."

"Maruca and Valin," she told him, a small smile on her face.

"Yeah, them. They dated for. . . How long?"

"A long time," she said, nodding. "I'd rater date for a long time. Like, years long time. I love Keefe and all but I'm not ready for marriage yet." 

"You guys have literal eternity ahead of you, I think it's fine if you wait." He nodded towards the door. "Dex is in his lab."

She smiled and walked through Dex's door without knocking. She instantly walked right back out. "I'm sorry!" She shouted through the door, trying not to laugh.

A few seconds later, Dex opened the door. "We never speak of this," he told her as she walked in.

She bit her lip. "Nice boxers," she commented, trying to suppress a laugh. 

He rolled his eyes. "Why did you come here, other than to make fun of my amazing underwear and walk in on me changing?"

She rolled her eyes. "That was an accident. You should lock your door while you're changing."

"Say sorry to my boxers."

"No."

He sighed. "Why are you here?"

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I am not avoiding you!" He defended immediately. "I've just been on a few dates with Biana when you wanted to hang out."

"So you're not avoiding the question on if you and Biana kissed or not."

"I'm avoiding that question, but not you," he answered simply.  "How's Keefe?"

"I know you kissed," she said, not answering his question. "She told me. I thought we were best friends, Dex!" She dramatically fell on his couch and let out a loud sigh. "I just... I feel like I don't see you anymore."
