"Your trust is slipping." Sophitz

@sparklez92121 requested a Sophitz twoshot. This is the first part, and the second part will go up tomorrow. Enjoy! As always, feel free to comment or PM me requests.

Sophie found her seat next to Fitz and Tiergan in the small room. Their lives were finally relatively normal; they could attend school, which meant working on their Cognateship. (A/N Or Cognatedom I'm not sure.)

"I have good news and bad news," Tiergan announced. "The bad news is that your trust is slipping. The good news is that that means more secret-telling!"

Both teenagers groaned. Tiergan knew how much they hated sharing secrets, although they had gotten better recently. It was always more awkward with someone watching them.

"I think today you should each share eight."

"Eight?" Fitz asked in disbelief.

"I can make it ten."

"Eight sounds good," he responded quickly. Tiergan had never really liked the Vackers, and Fitz always seemed acutely aware of that fact.

Do you want to start? Fitz asked her.

Um, not really, but I guess I will. You know that thing with Dex that you asked me about earlier?

Yeah?

Well, what happened was, um, we kinda, um... kissed?

Fitz bit his lip to keep from saying something out loud. His face turned slightly red. You kissed?

...Yeah.

Would you care to elaborate?

Well, he gave me these... crush cuffs. And he told me he'd liked me since we were Level Twos. And then I kissed him.

Wait, you kissed him?

Uh, yeah. Okay, can we change the subject now?

Okay, Fitz agreed. My turn, I guess. Okay. His face turned bright red. He couldn't seem to look her in the eye. Well, remember after Mr. Forkle died? When we were under the Panakes tree? Before Keefe came and told you about your human parents?

Sophie nodded. That had been such a stressful time for her. Although the Neverseen still wasn't defeated, her life was much calmer now.

Well, before Keefe interrupted us, I was going to...

What?

Sophie had actually been wondering what he had meant to do since that day. She had been meaning to ask, but hadn't found a good time. Also, if she was being honest with herself, she was way too embarrassed to bring it up. If what she thought was true, what would it mean for them?

I was going to kiss you.
