One Shots

"You know, I'm a guy too."

Keefe x Reader (Female)

*Y/N P.O.V*

"You know what? I'll just get going. I'm so done with you!" I shouted at my best friend, Keefe Sencen, sitting on his enormous, luxurious bed.
"C'mon, Y/N/N. It's alright. I'll be there with you. No matter what." consoled Keefe, wrapping his arms around me, sitting besides me.

I feel much better, sitting like this with Keefe. His warmth spreading through me. His strong arms wrapped around me, making me feel safe. We both were there for each other, always, securing each other's backs even if it was for pranks or going on missions against Neverseen. The only time we were not there for each other was when Keefe left to join the Neverseen. Even though, I spent so much time with Keefe, I never thought of him in a way like I thought of Fitz. Not that I could not, I just did not.

I had a crush on Fitz, and everyone knew about this, because I intentionally made it so obvious because I wanted him to notice that, I think of him as more than a friend, but he didn't. And, as if to make the heart-break much worse, he started to date Sophie Foster. As soon as I knew about this, the first place I barged into was Shores of Solace, to be specific Keefe's room. Without any prior notice. Although being his best friend meant a lot to me and him, he was sure pretty angry when I just broke into his room, like a crying mess, when his room was also another mess. 

"You need to calm down. All those emotions, spiking all over the place is just annoying." said Keefe, going to Ro to bring me some water. "And, for your kind information, Y/N Y/L/N, a girl like you doesn't barge into a guy's room just like that. Do you get it?" He said, giving the glass of water to me.

I take the water and take a sip, while saying, "What do you mean? No one considers me as a girl. And, even I don't consider you as a guy, though you are supposed to be one of the heartthrobs of Foxfire." I wink at him, keeping my glass on the side table.

Suddenly, he did something unexpected and unpredictable. He pushed me on his bed and leaned all over me, trapping me between his hands and his icy blue eyes. Our faces were inches apart. His breath was hot over my skin. My respiration process hitched.

He intensely stared into my E/C eyes as he ran a hand through my H/L H/C hair. "I do consider you as a girl." He whispered as I didn't even dare to move. "Does it matter?" I asked, my voice low to the point that I, myself, had to wonder if he heard me. But, he did hear. "I don't know about you. But, it does matter to me. Fitz is not the only boy in Lost Cities. You know, I'm a guy too.''

"WOW! My boy, finally made a move! After, so many months of him babbling about how he couldn't do anything because you like that Vacker boy. Huh, at last! Wai-What? Continue, continue. Sorry to interrupt your moment." Ro winked, closed the door and walked away. Keefe hastily tried to get up and sit properly, while continuing to apologize. But, being bold, I stopped him by clutching on his collar. "Did Ro say the truth?" I ask, as he looked surprise at me grabbing his collar. "I, no--wait, what? No! I was just joking around. I mean-- of course, I like you. But, I mean, no, it's not--" He vainly tried to cover up.

It was definitely vain, Sophie had told me the trick to catch an Empath lying. And I had his hand in my free hand. "Don't lie." I say. "No, I'm not---Alright. I-I do l-like you. You d-don't have to answer me. B-but you like m--never mind." I let him go. He got up and sat down besides me with his head in his hands. "You don't have to answer me, you know? I am an Empath. I-I already kn-know your answer." He said.

"You don't." I say. "Empaths can only understand what people are feeling, not what people are thinking." I complete. "I do." Keefe retorted, though he seemed to be at the verge of crying. "I could feel that you were uncomfortable. I-I'm sorry for making you feel that way. I guess we can change the topic." He says, obviously wiping his tears.

"No. Look at me." I gently turn his head towards me and making him do eye-contact with me.

His gorgeous icy blue eyes were wet. 'Tears formed because of me.' I think to myself, feeling guilty. "No, need for all that guilt." He says, with a sad smile. "I n-never intended you to see this side of me. A pitiful, hurt, broken boy. No one was supposed to see me like this."

"Do you even know why I felt uncomfortable?" I ask not removing my hands from his face. "Because I said I l-liked you, when we were just supposed to be friends?" He asks, dropping to his gaze his lap. "No, because I didn't want you to feel like I was using you as a second resort. I could have never forgiven myself if you felt like, just because I couldn't get a chance on Fitz, I chose you. I have liked you, ever since you saved me from the Neverseen. But, at first, I felt like you liked Sophie, so I couldn't get in your way. So, well.....you get me, right? I love you, unless you have someo--" I was crossed off by his lips smashing into mine. 

He pulled back after a while, "You know, you don't stay this late at a guy's house, unless you still don't consider me as a guy."

Yes, time had passed and both of us hadn't noticed. I was happy, he was back into his cocky self and now that we were a thing....the thought itself made me blush.  

"You know, I don't stay at a guy's house this late, unless he's my boyfriend." I poke him on the tip of his nose and through light-leaping I let the moonlight whisk me away. 

This day was my best day!
