My Wattpad Dares/That Weird Ship

Team Foster-Keefe [Part one]

@a_graceful_soul requested this one, so I am going to dedicate it to her.

Keefe (takes place sometime after LODESTAR)

He sat alone, dully unwrapping his Prattles pack, staring at the beautiful blonde girl across the lunch room. Dex on her left and Fitz on her right, Sophie laughed, popping a Threadleen in her mouth. Jensi slid in across from Sophie, in between Biana and Marella, who were both eating raspberry-flavored-air.

Jensi said something that made both Sophie and Fitz blush, and although they scooted a little bit apart, Sophie's gloved hand was drawn towards Fitz's, and their Cognate rings snapped together.

Keefe pondered all of this, knowing that he couldn't go over there, but longing to talk to Sophie. He miserably chewed on his caramel candy, wondering when it was that everyone else would trust him again.

You know, a familiar voice filled his mind, making him jump. I still trust you. And so does Linh. And Dex.

Foster! He thought, How long were you listening to my thoughts?!

Sophie laughed inside his head, but then ignored his question, You know that Tam has always had trust issues--

I don't care what Bangs Boy thinks. He scowled, wondering if Sophie's mind could detect a scowl in thoughts.

--anyway, Sophie continued, it's just going to take a while longer to regain Fitz and Biana's trust. You DID betray them the same time as Alvar did. That is definitely gonna make it harder.

I didn't betray them! Keefe protested, I was being a double agent, and they know it. Trust me, this whole hard-to-forgive thing is just something they think makes them more cool.

I trust you, Keefe, more than you could know. But I don't think that's what it's about.

Then what IS it about, Foster? I want my best friend back! Not that you aren't wonderful, you're miraculous!

And you're weird. Sophie transmitted, but Keefe could feel her mood shift. Flattery, maybe? Or was it Love? Maybe even a bit of sadness.

Foster? Keefe thought, hoping she was still listening, Foster???? You still with me?

He looked up, and saw that she was now talking to Linh, who was sitting in between Marella and Tam. When had they become friends?

Keefe sighed as he pulled open the pouch with his Prattles pin in it, hoping that it was a Muskog. Then he would have at least one thing to kiss.

But he didn't get it.

A tear slipped as he read on the back, Moonlark: 15 of 104.
