A.N. I don't KotLC or the characters...

"Sophie, you know I didn't just do this because we're friends, right?" Keefe asked, his eyes begging her to understand.

"Um, sure Keefe. Why did you do it, then?" Sophie asked, completely confused. Of course she had a nagging voice in the bag of her head hoping that he had done it for love, but how likely was that? Not very. Sophie tried her hardest not to get her hopes up, but it was so hard when she looked at those adorable eyes searching her face.

"Sophie…" Keefe paused and looked away, "I like you. I have since the first day we met, and I've spent two years trying to work up the courage to tell you, but if you don't feel the same way, we could just go back to your party and pretend like this never happened." Sophie was sure that Keefe could feel the giddiness radiating off of her, and had it been any other person, she would have died of embarrassment, but with Keefe, it just felt natural.

Keefe smiled when he noticed that the emotion radiating from every cell of Sophie's tiny body was giddiness instead of disgust. "Keefe, you can't even begin to imagine how long I've waited for you to say that! All those times when you felt adoration from me, that was admiration for you, not Fitz or Dex," Sophie said elated. Keefe looked at Sophie kind of shyly, which was way out of the ordinary for him. "What's up?" Sophie's mind instantly ran in a million different directions that made her want to cringe.

"Sophie, don't even think like that! It's just, the gift I got you seems so infinitesimal compared to what everyone else got you…" Keefe said with a pathetic glance at his feet. It looked to Sophie like he was going to cry.

"Keefe, no matter what it is, I'll love it. You didn't even have to get me a gift. This whole day is good enough," Sophie said as she lifted his chin up, which was a hard task considering the fact that his chin was above the tallest part of her head.

"Well, in that case, here," And Keefe leaned down to the level Sophie's head was at and softly pressed his lips against hers. It was the most wonderful feeling, like there was nobody else in the world. Like they weren't standing in a back alley, kissing, while all of their friends were standing just around the corner, or so they thought. His lips were even softer than she had previously thought, which was saying something, considering that they had looked like the softest lips ever.

The sound of a clearing throat brought them out of the little bubble they had created, and they broke apart. Sophie was actually quite glad for the excuse. Seeing as this was her first kiss, she wasn't exactly sure how anyone was supposed to breathe. Oh well, she would probably get a lot more practice. Sophie turned her head to see who had seen what she was sure had to have been quite a scene, and saw Fitz looking quite uncomfortable. "Um, I just wanted to say bye. I'm leaving now,"

Before Sophie could even say "Bye", Fitz had pulled out his home crystal and leaped home. "Great. We're going to need to tell people that we're… together."

"Sounds good." Keefe said as he pulled Sophie to his chest. Sophie couldn't even think of moving from this wonderful place, and instead just buried her head deeper in the folds of his tailored shirt. Man, this felt nice.

A.N. Sorry this chapter is really short but I've got a lot going on with the end of school coming up, also, encountering major writers block. Please RnR!
