Sophie went more pale if even possible as everyone looked at her
"HE'S why you broke up with me?" Fitz said rising along with the anger in his voice, walking over to Sophie and pointing at Keefe "This mess of family issues that only has jokes to hide behind? This thing that brings you nothing but trouble? The one who abandoned you to go live with the enemy? He's why? You chose him- the son of a murderer and a sociopath- above me? The golden child- you chose him above the vacker legacy?" Fitz screamed at both Sophie and Keefe his hand shaking, still pointed at Keefe
"How about you stop before you say anything else you'll regret?" Tam asked putting a hand on Fitz's arm. Sophie hadn't even noticed him get up.
"I have one more thing to say." Fitz said, flicking off tams hand and getting eerily calm "I. Never. Liked. You. it was pity if I'm being really honest. I could see how love sick you were, how much you thought I was perfect. So I lied to myself I forced you myself to like you, because you are the most powerful elf to ever live, and I wanted some power as well. Plus I wanted to show Keefe that he would never have you, that you would chose me every time, but now that I'm seeing you in true light I'm glad you have each other. Because that's the only love you'll ever get." And with that Fitz left, slamming the door and leaving behind a silence that was deafening, Tam still frozen in place with his hand flicked away. Sophie broke down first, fleeing up to her room and sobbing into her pillow to try to muffle the pathetic sounds. it was pitch black and all she had left was hiccups when she heard a feet coming up the stairs. She didn't have the energy to tell them to go away so she just closed her eyes as she heard the door open. A pressure on the bed a few moments after when she felt soft circles on her back was what made her assumed it was Biana so she let everything spill out
"I messed everything up! My relationship with Fitz, the sleepover, truth or dare, your plan, and I especially messed up with Keefe! How could he ever like me, a little girl who everyone hates?!" she could barely choke it out and would be amazed if Biana could understand her
"Of corse you didn't mess it up with me foster, I'll always like you" that wasn't Bianas voice and only one person used that nickname. No no no no no! I should have checked who it was I'm an idiot! Sophie sat bolt upright to try to explain everything to Keefe
"Listen I-" but she was cut off by him wrapping his arms around her and saying
"Shhhh, foster it's okay" it took her a second to get over her shock, of course he had hugged her before... but this felt different. This felt......right. And so she melted into the hug throwing her hands around him and holding tight. Soon they fell asleep after laying down, still wrapped in each other's arms.

"Look at them"
"They look so precious"
"Aww they're so cute!"
"I hope Sophie didn't have nightmares after what he-who-shall-not-be-named said last night..." Voices swam around Sophie's brain until she made sense of it all, her memory's of what happened last night coming back in a flood and clicking into place. She opened her eyes to see Keefe still asleep, looking absolutely perfect. She looked at him for another few seconds before she remembered what was happening.
"Wait, what are you doing in my room!?" Sophie scrambled up, unknotting her and Keefes limbs- somehow not waking him up- and looked around at all the faces of her friends. Biana stepped forward almost as if a spokesperson for the group
"Well, I came up to wake you guys because we made breakfast after-" she cleared her throat "- what happened last night and I saw you guys looking so adorable I got everyone else. Because... well you guys are are super cute together"
"That's....an okay excuse" she says looking around again
"We hope you know that all of us have agreed to not talk to ~him~ any longer and that none of the things he said are true and that you two deserve to be happy, especially together. And you're both wonderful people." Biana said in a rush
"Wow, even bangs boy said that?" Keefe cut in behind her before Sophie could say anything
"Yes, you are the 'president of the foster fan club' and...you two look cute together" Tam begrudgingly admitted
"You did not just say that!" Keefe said getting up and going over to tam " YOU want ME to be happy?"
"Well, after all you've been through you deserve a break okay? Can you stop making fun of me for actually kinda thinking of you as a friend?" Tam crossed his arms defensively
"Well if you don't make fun of me for kinda thinking of you as a friend then fine" Keefe said reluctantly before they shook hands
"I'd never thought I'd live to see the day...." Sophie whispers from the bed " anyway you said something about breakfast?" She asked Biana
"Downstairs" Biana nodded. Sophie ran down the stairs and into the kitchen while everyone laughed and followed her.

*time skip after everyone left besides Keefe, who Sophie told to hang back*

Sophie sat Keefe down on the couch and looked at him.
"We need to talk about us.." Sophie began, her stomach turning
"What is there to talk about? You like me, I like you" Keefe said casually
"Yeah, but am I your girlfriend?" Sophie asked, still uncomfortable.
"Woah there foster your emotions are going haywire" Keefe joked waving his hand in the air, almost like trying to clear the emotions away from him " I think we should go on a few dates don't you?"
"Dates?" Sophie's head snapped up
"You know those things where you go out together and the idea is to have fun? A date?" Keefe asked
"I know what a date is!" Sophie softly smacked his arm "I just.....I don't know. Ah whatever." She looked up and into his beautiful ice blue eyes " Keefe sencen would you like to go out on a date with me?" Sophie asked, extending a hand out to him, inviting him silently to take it
"I don't know.... would you let me think about it?" Keefe waited for a few seconds before answering "Duh,I'll go o a date with you!" He said, grabbing her hand and smiling as big as she'd ever seen him smile.
"Tomorrow, at three?" She wondered aloud
"It's a date foster!" He winked, referencing when he was helping her fix Alden "but this time it for real" with that he hopped up, leaping away. But light didn't quite hide the huge grin that had split across his face
