KEEFE'S POV.
Keefe would be lying if he said he didn't imagine how Sophie would react once he told her.
The very first most one had been her not getting what he was saying. The other had been saying "I'm sorry but I don't feel that way about you."
He didn't which he dreaded the most. But right then and there he realized the worst possible thing that could have happened was if she decided that she dosen't want to be friends with her anymore.
He took deep breath in and realized Sophie's hair somehow smelled like mallow melt. It made him smile.
When the words came through his mind he thought he was imagining it but the waves of emotions that followed Keefe realized he hadn't experienced anything more real in his life.
Keefe kept his hands on Sophie and pulled back to see her face. She was of course blushing but it made him happier even more.
"I guess it really does make sense we are cognates. Also on the bright side I can now go screaming to everyone SOPHIE ELIZABETH FOSTER IS MY COGNATE!" He screamed so loud hmthat Sophie flinched but bursted out laughing.
"Guess I could scream too then, KEEFE WHATEVER-HIS-MIDDLE-NAME-IS SENCEN IS MY COGNATE!"
Keefe blinked. He laughed too and doubled over the floor. He wiped the tears of his face, he didn't remember the last time he felt this happy. The way he felt with her.
"I think Ro could have heard us from a mile away now." Sophie said while laying on the floor gazing up at sky.
Keefe slowly draped his arm around Sophie and inched closer to her. Sophie smiled and raised an eyebrow at him, he pretended not to notice.
"Sophie whatever my mother did to me just know that I don't care. I'm alright being here with you. Just you. You keep me anchored Sophie." He then turned until he could feel her breath on his face and count the tiny bursts of gold in her eyes.
"In case the constant flirting with you for the past year didn't make it clear. Or the gut wrenching speech I gave you..."
"I love you Sophie Foster. I love you and I will remember it to the ends of the world. Nothing can make me forget you. Nothing. Cause you are the most extrodinary person I have ever met. Without you in my life I wouldn't be me. I love you a thousand times more than my hair." He smiled as he said the last part and watched Sophie's eyes. He let down his guard and he could tell Sophie did too. Because the emotions he felt right then?
It felt like everything from her heart shocked through him. Pain. Joy. Sadness. Love. Even a little bit of worry.
Because that was what made them Sophie and Keefe. Keefe and Sophie.
That was what made them Team Foster-Keefe.
