Keefe's POV

Keefe wasn't surprised when Dex yelled at him upon arriving at Slurps & Burps. In fact, he was expecting much worse.

Earlier that week, Keefe had dropped some not-so-subtle hints to the group about how Dex had taken a slightly more-than-friendly liking to Biana. Dex, who had let the secret slip to Keefe, was not happy about it.

Biana, on the other hand, was flattered. She was so into Dex.

"Look Dex," Keefe started, needing to patch things up with Dex before he asked the favor, "I'm sorry. I'm just trying to help you get over Sophie." Dex softened up a little and glared less intensely.

"I need a favor."

"Of course you do," Dex huffed, "Nobody ever wants to just hang out with me. They only come to me if they need something."

Instantly, Keefe felt horrible. They didn't really treat Dex as part of the team, unless they needed some gadgets to be made. Keefe hated how unimportant they made their (possibly most important) friend feel.

But, Keefe had no idea how to help without making Dex feel worse. "It will change," Keefe managed to think up.

"Whatever," Dex mumbled, "What's the favor you wanted?"

"I need you to help me with Sophie." Dex didn't look pleased, but he decided he'd help.

"What kind of help?" He asked. He started fidgeting with some new gadget that looked like it would be for Sophie, so she didn't have to wear gloves.

"What does Sophie... like? I want to get her a present to uh... show her I like her, I guess. I don't want to get her a crush cuff."

"Why do you think I could help?" Dex asked, obviously confused. "You know better than anyone that she rejected me."

"Yea," said Keefe, "but you knew Sophie for way longer. You knew her as 'the human girl', your best friend, and as 'Sophie Foster'. I've only known her as 'The Mysterious Miss F' and as the girl I'm in love with."

Keefe could tell Dex was hesitant. But, When Dex was called Sophie's best friend, he would bend to most people's will.

"She likes you, and Fitz," Dex said, which didn't help Keefe in the slightest, "she also likes the color teal. But she only likes it-"

"Because of Fitz's eyes," Keefe finished, trying not to let that bother him too much. Keefe was tired of hearing about the things that were obviously connected to Fitz.

"She gets a lot of jewelry from Fitz, which is extremely unoriginal." Oh, Keefe knew. Fitz was trying to get Sophie to admitting she liked him, and all he did was get her jewelry. Lame.

Suddenly, Dex's face lit up and his mouth went up in a huge grin. "I know just what to get her."

***

"Yo! Foster!" Keefe yelled, catching Sophie before she could teleport away to wherever she was going.

"Don't scare me like that Keefe!" She yelled back angrily. She stepped away from the edge of the cliff and turned to face the beaming boy. Immediately her features relaxed. "I could've fallen off the cliff, and I could've lost my concentration and died." Well, when she put it like that....

"I'm sorry," Keefe mumbled, now feeling bad, and no longer brave enough to do anything.

"It's okay." Sophie put on one of her charming, heart-melting smiles, making Keefe want to kiss her right there and then. But, his gift was too good to be wasted. "What did you come here for?"

Keefe willed his palms not to sweat as he took a step forward, reached his hand into his pocket, and pulled out Sophie's gift. He placed it in her palm and let Sophie look at it for a second.

She flung herself at Keefe, wrapped him in a hug, and practically screamed, "Oh my God!"
