Sophie was crying. She seems to do that a lot in these oneshots. She cups Keefe's face in her hands, blurrily searching his watering eyes.
"I don't care. I don't need reminders of all that's been broken," Sophie reassured Keefe, tracing his cheekbone. "You don't need to fix what I'd rather forget! It was never your fault. Can we start over? Try to quiet the self-deprecating voices in your head. We can't compete with all that." Sophie couldn't believe Keefe hadn't told her about his depression. It was mostly because of her. "Can it be us? Only us?"
"I know I don't deserve you, Sophie." He turned away, refusing to meet her eyes. "I might have voices in my head. But they've always been my normal kind. Times are tough. But I'm tougher. I'll be fine."
"Keefe, people come into our lives for a reason. I wouldn't be who I am without you. We'll smash every expectation. Just you wait."
"All I wanted was to be loved for myself. My teen angst now has a body count!"
"Oh, Keefe." Sophie sighed softly. "Even the darkest night will come to the end, and the sun will rise. Anything at all can happen before the sunrise. Forget regret. Life is yours to miss."
"I love you." Sophie nodded.
"I know."
