ok but like,, do y’all ever think about how happy keefe and sophie would make each other?
like the two of them would just be so comfortable in each other’s company. they know that this person they’re with understands them better than anyone. they know that this person will not judge them harshly on the decisions they’ve made, or how they act. they know that they will be alright when together.
the two of them just bring out the best in each other. sophie brings out a more serious side in keefe but she enjoys his fun and joking, too. keefe understands how much pressure sophie is under and how much she puts on herself but he knows that she should still be allowed to have fun and be a kid, because that’s what she is. despite everything the world has thrown at them—because these two have suffered the most—they’re still kids. and keefe loves making sophie smile and laugh. he knows she deserves to do that more than anyone.
but like just think about how they’d be with each other when they get together!
sophie would be so shy because she is still so unsure of where she stands in relationships but keefe doesn’t care—because he may like to act like a huge heartbreaker (and he kinda is, in a way. he’s way too cute to not have let a few people down.) but he has never been with anyone, that we know of—he would be just as shy and blushy as her and so so happy. this is the girl he’s waited so long to be with and she likes him back! and they’d hold hands and keefe would just know how she truly feels making himself feel so good. and sophie! oh she would be happy. truly, genuinely happy. because she was his friend first (imo his best friend) and while she and fitz are friends, too, she could never push that aside, too worried about her crush on him being figured out. but with keefe it’s so different. she’s never really had to worry about how to act because he’s just a big of a mess as she is. sometimes even more so.
but they don’t care—they’ve never cared—about that. it’s never been important to them. the two have always been able to be themselves with each other and that’s so important to them.
and imagine the cliche dating stuff.
the two of them holding hands for them first time. keefe just intertwining their fingers together, bragging and teasing but neither can deny that his cheeks are pink like hers. and sophie is just stuttering and so embarrassed but keefe reassures her that it’s ok. it’s just him.
their first kiss would be such a disaster but so them. i can just picture it.
the two of them are just super excited about something, just getting super into it and leaning closer and closer before they both realize how close they’ve gotten and the laughs and smiles just fade before they’re just staring at each other, locked on one another and it carries for a few seconds. their breath fans across the other’s face. keefe’s eyes search hers before they trail down to her lips making her breath catch and he licks his lips in anticipation before he softly whispers, “sophie,” and it just spurs her on—he never calls her sophie except for when it is something incredibly important—and just leans in and kisses him. but because she’s her and he’s him, she overestimates the distance and the speed and just crashes into him, which then, their noses bump and teeth clang but keefe grabs her face before she can pull away and leave the room—or the lost cities because it is sophie—and tilts his head and suddenly she’s seeing stars. and when they pull away, they press their foreheads together with bright smiles on their face. (and yes i know this is unlikely but i am a fanfiction writer so i can make it however i want it to go.)
and of course all the cute kisses after that!
the cheeks kisses when keefe teases her and just can’t help but press a smooch to her blushing cheeks. the forehead kisses when they need some reassurance that the other is there and it’ll be ok. the hand kisses when keefe gets cocky and flirty and just smirks at her. the big and heated kisses sophie initiates that just make keefe melt because he is so gone over this girl.
there are so many kiss possibilities!
but also so many date ideas, oh my god.
he takes her around atlantis just showing her all the amazing things about the lost cities she never gets the time to appreciate. they go flying over the pastures of havenfield on silveny at sunset. she’s nodding off against calla panakes tree and he just sketches her in his gold notebook—because all the fans know that that one is specifically for drawings of her—and he is just so content.
then everyone’s reactions!!!
biana squealing, so happy for her and getting so excited to help her dress up for dates. ro teasing and giggling with dex and sandor over the two of them figuring it out—finally!!!!!!—but so overjoyed even though she’d been hinting at it for months and like so fed up with their—sophie’s—obliviousness. fitz ecstatic that his best friend is with the girl he’s liked for so long. tam pretends to be like yeah whatever but they all see the threatening glare he gives to keefe because if he hurts his other sister he better watch every shadow with grady jumping in because that’s his daughter with That Boy but linh and edaline roll their eyes and congratulate them on behalf of their brother and husband, respectively.
and just everyone teases them relentlessly because they made everyone suffer by how oblivious they are and the denial of feelings was getting to a point where everyone was thinking about smashing their heads through walls or locking the two in a very secluded black swan hideout until they figured it out.
but they’re all happy for them. about time the two got to experience some calm and contentment.
and i really could ramble about these two all day because i love them and have been rooting for them since i picked up the books and was so intrigued by their dynamic, wanting one just like it. but i’ll just stop here for now.
sophie and keefe would just be so perfect for each other.
