Foster-Keefe After Lodestar
***LODESTAR SPOILERS***
Keefe's POV
"Keefe?" Foster asked. I loved it when she said my name like that. Like it was something important. Like I was something important.
"Hmm?" I replied. "I uh was wondering what emotion you were feeling from me when I first enhanced your ability." Foster finally says. I can't help but feel a mischievous smirk cross my face.
I knew she liked me before, because it was hidden in all her other emotions. But when I first held her hand when she manifested as an Enhancer I felt an overwhelming wave of love from her. And for her.
"So." She says, "You gonna tell me?" "Well actually..." I start. "I was gonna wait until later but I guess I could tell you now." Foster leans forward in anticipation. Wow was she adorable. And beautiful.
But she thinks she knows what I felt. And I'm pretty sure she thought right. So. Yes. I answer: "Love. A whole butt-ton of it. Like, so overwhelming I almost drowned." She looks down at her feet and her cheeks flush.
"Ooh! I made Foster blush! My favorite game! And I'm the champ." She couldn't help but laugh at that.
"But hey, Sophie?" I ask, actually using her first name. "Is it true? That you like me?"
"No its not Keefe... I-I love you." You didn't have to be an Empath to know she was glad to get that off her chest. Or to know how absolutely ecstatic I was.
"Well..." I say, "I love you too."
