Sophie's Love Triangle (Sokeefe)

The Joining

A/N: Holy crap has it been long. Well um hi everyone. It's Altina and it has been one long minute...anyway I decided to not be a lazy butt after like 8 months. And I'm also doing this to procrastinate finishing Legacy which I'll be giving my options on in a separate chapter on my one-shots story along with (hopefully)a new one-shot. Without further ado here is the VERY delayed chapter. 

                                                                         Recap: "Foster? Is that you?"

                                                                                   Sophie's POV

"Keefe?!" I ask my voice full of shock.

"The one and only," Keefe says attempting to smirk, but then turning into a grimace.  I almost fall over the amount of pain I feel coming from Keefe. (I totally forgot that I made Sophie an Empath until now...oops?)

"You're awake?" I say realizing that it sounded more like a question than a statement. 

"How else would I be talking to you?" Keefe says slowly smiling through all the pain. 

"I'm hailing Elwin to come give you some medicine." I say after seeing the pain in Keefe's beautiful ice blue eyes that I could look into for years.

"No wait." Keefe says right before I hail Elwin.

"Why? Do you want to be in pain?" I ask beyond confused

"No, but I do want a moment with my fiance, before I get bombarded with questions." Keefe quietly whispers looking over at me with the same amount of love I saw in his eyes when he proposed to me.

"Okay, fine" I say realized how much stress I had been feeling moments earlier when Keefe was unconscious. 

"So what exactly happened?" I ask fidgeting with the bottom of my hair.  (That's one of my habits that drives my mom CRAZY)

"Shhhhh" Keefe tells me putting his finger to my lips, and groaning at the action.

"Can we not talk about that right now?" Keefe asks as he frowns. 

I was about to ask why when I felt the fear, anxiety radiating off of him.

"Yeah sure," I tell him smiling sadly as I brush some of the hair off of his forehead.

The contact I made with him made me realize that his pain had increased.

"Okay I'm hailing Elwin now," I tell him with my most stern voice showing him that he couldn't argue this time. 

"Fine..." he sighs, but I know that he was actually relieved that his pain would soon be gone.

                                                 Moments later when Elwin arrives 

"You know what...I don't think you're runner-up for the most frequent most injuries anymore. I think you have actually beat Sophie's record." Elwin says while getting all of his hopefully restocked materials out.

"Well at least I've finished all of my life goals now," Keefe says winking towards me before gulping down a shiny pink elixir, and crinkling his nose at the most likely disgusting taste.

"That tasted like straight up earwax" he mumbles as he tries to not throw the elixir up.

"And I assume you have experience with that?" Elwin asks.

"Wait actually I don't want to know." Elwin quickly says afterwards.

"Ah the ol' days..." Keefe says sighing and smiling.
