A Match Made In Heaven

-My Heart Screamed FINALLY-

A/N: "A Thousand Years" Christina Perri

Keefe's POV:

As I stood in my ditching spot at Foxfire, I couldn't help but feel the weight of Sophie's confession hanging in the air between us. Her words echoed in my mind, sending a rush of emotions through me like a wild storm. I had waited so long for this moment for her to finally say those three little words that held so much power over my heart.

"Say it again. I've waited so long for you to say it only for you to say it once," I urged, my voice barely above a whisper as I looked into her mesmerizing eyes.

"I love you, Keefe," Sophie repeated, her voice soft yet firm, carrying a depth of sincerity that made my heart sing.

I felt a surge of warmth spreading through me, as I tried to gather my thoughts and find the right words to express the depth of my feelings for her. It had been so long since that fateful day when we first met in this very hall, a meeting that had changed everything.

I remembered the way Sophie looked at me with those big, expressive eyes, filled with curiosity and a spark of something more. I remembered the rush of adrenaline that coursed through me as I helped her navigate her newfound abilities after the alchemy accident that had brought us together. And most of all, I remembered the undeniable connection that had formed between us, a bond that seemed to transcend time and space.

And now, as we stood together in this sacred place, where our journey had begun, I knew deep in my heart that Sophie was the one for me. She was my true match, my soulmate, the missing piece that had finally made me feel whole.

"I'm your true match, Foster," I whispered, my voice filled with a mixture of love, hope, and gratitude, as I pulled her closer to me, unable to resist the magnetic pull between us.

And then it happened. The moment I had been waiting for, the moment that felt like a lifetime in the making. Our lips met in a tender, passionate kiss that spoke volumes without a single word. In that fleeting moment, the world around us disappeared, leaving only the two of us, caught in a whirlwind of emotions and desires.

As we broke apart, breathing heavily, I couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of contentment and joy that I had never experienced before. Sophie was everything to me, the light in my life, the one who had shone a beacon of hope and love into my once-dark world.

My ditching spot became more than just a secret meeting place. It became a symbol of our love, a testament to the journey we had embarked on together, the trials we had faced, and the triumphs we had achieved. As it was the place where we first met, the place where we finally confessed our feelings. Also, the place where we had our first kiss.

Every time we stood in that dimly lit hall, surrounded by the whispers of passing prodigy's and the flickering torches, I knew that we were meant to be together, that our love was a force to be reckoned with, unbreakable and everlasting.

Hand in hand we were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, I knew that with Sophie by my side, there was nothing we couldn't conquer, no obstacle too great to overcome.

For in her eyes, I saw my reflection, my true self, my better half. And in her love, I found my home, my sanctuary, my forever.

And so, as we stood in our ditching spot, bathed in the soft glow of the torchlight, I whispered those three little words that held the power to change everything.

"I love you, Foster," I said, my voice filled with a quiet confidence and unwavering certainty.

And in that moment, as Sophie's eyes met mine, I knew without a doubt that we were bound together, two halves of the same whole, forever entwined in a love that would never fade.

Sophie's POV: 

As I stood there in Keefe's ditching spot in the hall of Foxfire, my heart was pounding with a mixture of nerves and excitement. I had just confessed my feelings to Keefe, the boy I had grown to care for deeply during our adventures together. The tension between us was thick, but in that moment, it seemed to crackle with a new kind of energy. Keefe was looking at me with a mix of surprise and something deeper, something that made my heart flutter.

I couldn't believe I had finally told him how I felt. It had taken so much courage to lay my heart on the line like that, but as I looked into Keefe's piercing blue eyes, I knew it was worth it. There was something about him that drew me in, something that made me feel alive in a way I had never experienced before.

And then, without saying a word, Keefe leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. It was like all the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving only the two of us in a bubble of time and space. The kiss was magical, like something out of a fairy tale. I could feel the warmth of his lips against mine, the gentle pressure of his touch sending shivers down my spine.

In that moment, all of my doubts and fears melted away. I knew, deep in my heart, that this was right. Keefe was right for me, and I was right for him. As we pulled back from the kiss, I could see the warmth in his eyes, the same realization dawning on him. We were meant to be together, and nothing could stand in our way.

We stood there for what felt like an eternity, lost in the moment, lost in each other. And then, Keefe smiled, a smile that lit up his face and sent a rush of happiness flooding through me.

"Finally," I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. But Keefe heard me, and a grin spread across his face.

"Finally," he echoed, his voice full of wonder and joy. And then he took my hand in his, intertwining our fingers as if to show the world that we were now connected in a way that could never be broken.

From that moment on, everything changed. Keefe and I became inseparable, spending every moment we could together, learning more about each other with each passing day. Our love grew stronger with each sunrise, each sunset, each stolen kiss in the shadows of Foxfire.

For so long I had been convinced I was in love with Fitz. But clearly it wasn't the case at all. The heartbreak with Fitz, the shattered illusions of love that had clouded my path - all of it seemed distant now, a mere shadow in the face of the reality unfolding before me.

As we stood together in the dimly lit hallway of Foxfire, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. The doubts and fears that had plagued me for so long seemed to vanish, leaving behind a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. I knew that there would be challenges ahead, obstacles to overcome, but as long as I had Keefe by my side, I felt unstoppable.

With a sense of resolve, I met Keefe's gaze, his eyes shining with a newfound determination. Together, we would face whatever the future held, united in their love and bound by a bond that was stronger than any magic.

My heart screamed with joy, a feeling of euphoria washing over me. It was as if all the stars had aligned, granting me this moment of pure bliss. Keefe's touch was gentle, yet a fire burned within it, igniting a passion I never knew existed.

My heart screamed FINALLY. And it was the best feeling ever.

"I love you more than the bad days ahead. I love you more than the nights that we ended with slamming doors. Oh, I love you more. There will be times when your heart will forget. So I'll say it over and over again. So, you know for sure. Darlin', I love you more." (ILYM--John K.)
