Heeeeelllllllllooooooooooooooooo Sokeefe fans!
Sooooooooooooo this scene was requested by L'Oracle de Delphe and I'm super excited because it's the first Sokeefe scene with… drum roll please :) ...MARELLA!
*Claps with much gusto* :p o_O ]
Sophie walked down the never ending halls of Foxfire, hoping she was going the right way. A turn here, a few paces there, ask Sandor if she was going the right way here…
She'd been a prodigy at Foxfire around three years and she still got lost occasionally.
But she'd gotten used to that.
She'd gotten used to a lot of things over her years in the Lost cities…which is probably why she didn't notice the whispers. And the stares. And the pointed fingers.
Sophie reached her locker and licked the DNA sensor, promptly gagging at the disgusting taste. It tasted like Iggy fart mixed with Gulon gas. Obviously Elvin had picked today's flavor.
As Sophie reached for the books for that morning's session, Keefe walked up to her locker.
"Morning Foster," Keefe smirked. "Did you miss me?"
"You wish." Sophie smiled in return.
Keefe clutched his heart in fake hurt. "You wound me Foster!"
"Shouldn't you be in Elvin History? It's on the other side of the school isn't it?" Sophie asked.
"Well look at you, finally knowing your way around!" Keefe said.
"I have my moments." Sophie reached for the last of her books and said to Keefe.
"Hey, did you almost blow up Foxfire again?" Keefe asked suddenly.
Sophie looked at him curiously. "No…why?"
Keefe nodded his head behind him. Sure enough, about a dozen prodigies were staring at them, and even more were whispering in quiet tones. Sophie heard only snippets of their hushed conversations..
" . . . Keefe Sencen and Sophie Foster . . . "
" . . . Dating . . . "
" . . . Not right for eachother . . . "
"Um…I don't think they're just talking about me…" Sophie whispered to Keefe. "I think they're talking about us."
"As in like…us us?" He asked.
"Yeah." Sophie said uneasily.
"Don't worry Foster, by the end of the week they'll have forgotten all about us…and if they don't, then I guess I'll have to re-create the Great Gulon Incident to throw them off our trail…not that I had anything to do with that!" Keefe said.
"You have to tell me about that one of these days." Sophie said.
"Soon." Keefe promised.
"Wel, I better get going. See you at lunch." Sophie said and waved.
"Can't wait, Foster!"
*later that day*
Sophie wandered into the almost empty cafeteria of Foxfire, quickly grabbed a lunch from the line, and sat down at her usual table. As she waited for her friends to arrive her mind wandered to the whispers and stares she'd received that day. It wasn't that out of the ordinary for her to be the center of attention at Foxfire, with her affiliation with the Black Swan, and her position as Regent…but she felt more exposed then she ever did because they were talking about her and Keefe.
Sophie was still deep in thought when Marella took a seat across from her.
"What's on your mind?" She asked Sophie.
Sophie jumped in surprise, almost knocking down the food on her tray.
"Sorry." Marella apologized as she opened a container of flavored air.
"It's okay." Sophie said and smiled sheepishly.
"So is it true?" Marella asked suddenly.
"Is what true?" Sophie asked.
"That you and Fitz aren't friends anymore?"
"WHAT?" Sophie said in alarm and several prodigies that were streaming into the cafeteria looked her way.
Sophie lowered her voice and said, "No of course not…why would you say that."
"I'm just trying to confirm some theories I've overheard." Marella said absently twirling one of the tiny braids in her hair.
"Oh no…I can't imagine what else they're saying" Sophie put her head in her hands in embarrassment.
"Probably that we're the most popular couple Foxfire's seen!" Keefe said happily as he walked up to them and plopped into a seat next to Sophie.
Sophie stared at him through narrowed eyes.
"What's wrong Foster?" Keefe asked.
Sophie just looked down at her food.
"...I'll gotta…do something…um…over there…" Marella said and walked away to give them some privacy.
"Foster…you know this will blow over…" Keefe said and reached for her hand. "Plus, since when do you care what people think? That's one of the things I love about you…"
"It's not about that…" Sophie said.
"Then what is it?"
"It feels like I can't even have a love like without people assuming stuff. Just today Marella told me that people thought Fitz and I weren't friends anymore…" Sophie said.
"Sophie?" Keefe said.
"Yeah?" She said.
"I have an idea…"
"Well there goes the neighborhood." Sophie teased.
"Very funny." Keefe smiled. "But really…this might just work…it's crazy…and they'll still be talking about us…but they'll probably forget all about their other theories…"
"What is it?" Sophie said, becoming excited.
"Kiss me." Keefe said.
At first Sophie was too surprised to respond, but she found her voice quickly enough. "Here? Now?!"
"Yes…what do you think?" He said.
It was so crazy…it just might work.
Sophie grabbed hold of his hands and angled herself to face him.
His grin made Sophie say, "Do you think this is the only way? Not that I don't mind…"
"There's probably another way…but they wouldn't be as fun."
And with that Keefe pressed his lips to hers.
As Keefe kissed her, Sophie forgot about their surroundings and who was watching them, or what people would say…all that mattered at the moment was a certain bond haired elf, whom she loved more than anything.
Weeeeeeeeeell? What do you think?
I feel like this wasn't my best scene, but I hope you still enjoyed it! (I couldn't resist adding a Sokeefe kiss!)
BTW in the scene 'Lord Cassius and Ro' I forgot to tell you guys that the high pitched scream that Sophie and Keefe heard was Lord Cassius, NOT Ro.
