can i request keefe sencen boyfriends headcanons pls!!

dating keefe sencen

♬ warnings: neverseen, everblaze, stellarlune, legacy spoilers, angst if that’s a warning

♬ ziggys notes: ziggy actually writes for once??? unheard of!!

♬ nav. — m.list

he’s so dumb (/aff)

so i imagine he’s very nice to you and compliments you non-stop all day cause he’s a sweetheart

he’s also an asshole sometimes but not in a bad way

like he’ll occasionally make some mean ass joke but you know he doesn’t mean it <3

but also he’s the only one allowed to make mean jokes and if someone else does it then wtf

also bro is clingy 💀

will always have an arm around you somewhere or holding your hand unless he absolutely has to let go

will walk (sprint) to your class just so he can walk you to your next one

or lunch or wherever tf your going

i like to imagine hes actually very smart but just acts like a dumbass cause a) he likes too b) piss off his parents c) everyone finds it funny

so if your struggling with schoolwork or some shit he’ll help you <3

part of the keefe boyfriend experience is him randomly showing up on your doorstep/climbing through your window

like you’ll just be sitting there in your room doing whatever and that motherfucker climbs through the window like “heyyy”

chances are he falls while getting out of the window

and if you ask him why he’s like “to see you ofc!!”

i mean it is because he wants to see you but also because he doesn’t wanna be around his parents/dad anymore

and he stays with you for like a week 😭

your parents either love him or despise him

he’d put up the perfect boyfriend act in front of them but as soon as y’all are alone he goes back to normal

if they hate him it’s because they see through the act

would probably drag you into sophie’s bs either accidentally or on purpose

he’ll bring you along for emotional support when they’re just like. idk discussing stuff?? but when it’s actually getting dangerous he makes you stay

(he says “pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease” over and over until you stay)

also ur bound to be HEARTBROKEN several times in this relationship

when gisela does her shit in everblaze is the first time

you have to comfort him </3 if u don’t ur kinda a bad s/o

even if you don’t know what to say he’s just happy if you listen and try your best to understand

he never actually like gets over it but he ends up repressing it and just acting normal but he will definitely break down in front of you a lot at night

the second time your heartbroken is when he joins the neverseen

even if you went with them or not you obviously find out one way or another

sophie probably tells you and she feels absolutely terrible about it :(

when he comes back it’s like. so fucking cliché

those scenes in romance movies where they see eachother and the music gets all romantic and the screen has sparkles and shit cliché 😭

he’s so happy to see you again but ur staring at him like 😐

he remembers he literally joined the neverseen so he starts apologizing and promising to make it up to you

which he does!! he’s so sweet <3 he randomly comes and picks you up and takes you shopping and gets you whatever you want

if you feel bad about it he gives you this whole rehearsed paragraph about how you deserve to have him do this for you because he was an asshole (he wasn’t really an asshole but shhh)

and when he has to do his legacy shit in legacy (that felt awkward to type) and goes into his coma ohhhh myyy godddd the angst

like sitting beside him everyday with sophie and trying to get him to wake up

and when he does your like right beside him and omg the reunion would be so cute <3

but once he realizes what his voice can do he refuses to speak even if u literally beg him

oh and yelling at fitz for yk

anyways

when he runs away he feels so fucking terrible

he gives you a letter </3 it’s basically him reassuring you he’ll be okay and he loves you and you somewhat believe him because he’s smart but also cause he’s reckless and the little side note you may never see him again

sophie watching him literally emotionally destroy you for the 3rd time like :(

she takes you with her and dex to find him and reunion part 3

but this time your kinda rlly pissed and he apologizes again and probably. idk gives you some shit he found on the ground

okay no more angst

so i’d like to imagine he watched a FUCK ton of movies in the forbidden cities so he shows you all his favourites

uhh wait i’m gonna name what i think his favourites are <3

corpse bride, the breakfast club, back to the future, LABYRINTH!!, mamma mia, mean girls

his favourites of his favourites are mean girls, mamma mia and labyrinth

oh fuck i haven’t talked abt like the main shit (kisses and petnames ig idk) yet

i feel like hed mainly call you by your name or some ridiculous nickname he’s made for you

probably just pretty girl/boy or babe cause he’s a basic bitch and i cant think of anything else that’s gn

bro would grab ur face just like. mwah mwah mwah everywhere cause he loves u sm

also he’d kiss ur hands a lot

esp if hes handing you something or vice-versa

like he’ll just keep hold of ur hand for a moment and then kiss the top of it <33 ahaksnsjsnaj

and he will melt if you do it to him

DATES ARE THE MOST CHAOTIC SHIT EVER

like museums, parks, restaurants but you probably get kicked out for being loud (y’all were just laughing)

also he’d have a thing for your hair

like he’d braid it or play with it a lot cause it calms him down

or if you don’t like it he just plays with ur fingers instead

as much as he loves you he would not let you touch his hair

unless he hasn’t styled it yet then go crazy ig

uhm im out of ideas but if i get another i’ll update this 🫶

watch this get like 7 notes 💔💔

“I don’t know what you do to me.” - Tam Song x Reader hc/blurbs

Hyperfixation go brrr

In which Tam is pining hard for you, but just doesn’t know why he’s feeling like this.

Tam Song doesn’t know how to respond when he first meets you, instantly standing out from the rest of the Black Swan and your group in his eyes.

Tam doesn’t know why he’s so warm, relaxed yet on edge, when he speaks to you during his time in Alluveterre.

Tam doesn’t know why his breath catches in his throat when he sees you dressed up for the Peace Summit for the Black Swan, in your intricate (yet semi professional) suit/dress that fits you so well—your hair still managing to fall slightly in your face, though not in the way of your eyes that always seem to put him in a trance.

Tam doesn’t know why he trips on his words as he manages to mumble out a quick “You- look nice..” as he and Linh wish you luck.

Tam doesn’t know why he’s constantly watching your back in the battle at Nightfall; he knows you can handle yourself, so why does his heart seem to momentarily stop when he hears a crash from your direction?

Tam doesn’t know why he’s suddenly so sweaty as you come to Tiergan’s house to study with Linh but almost always end up alone with him when she leaves for “a snack” for half an hour.

Tam doesn’t know why he’s always first to volunteer when you need someone to train with; making your spar a challenge but almost always getting distracted and ending up pinned beneath you Percabeth-style, willing his breathing to calm down as he stares up at you ,wanting nothing more than to bring his face up just a little closer to yours.

Tam doesn’t know why he instinctively moves closer to you when you attract the eyes of yet another Foxfire prodigy—it’s not like who’s into you matters to him.. *it’s not like you’re his.*

Tam doesn’t know why he gets so red when a subtle glimpse of your abs peeks out from your rising tunic as you stretch your arms over you; why those striking silver eyes of his trace your body, stopping right at your lips.

Tam doesn’t know why he can’t seem to stop asking Sophie about you, eventually ending up ranting about how impressive and smart and kind and badass and *gorgeous* you are— he just can’t think straight about you.

Tam doesn’t know what he’s doing as his eyes hold contact with yours, his hand running back through his hair to push his bangs out of his eyes when he tells you how you make him feel, how long he’s been desperately trying to hold in how weak you make him—

Tam doesn’t know what you’re doing before you pull his face down to yours, confessing your reciprocating feelings and how long you’ve wanted to do this as you give him a soft kiss (which he returns in full).

Tam doesn’t know how his heart can beat so hard without killing him as he pulls you in again for more.

He never really knows why he does anything when it comes to you.

Hi! Your one of my favorite writers btw! Also make sure to not push yourself to hard and get proper sleep,food and water 💕

I was wondering if you could do the main characters reaction to the reader self h@rming? If it triggers something for you I get it, then don’t do it.

Stay save!!!

-🌸anon

Hi! Yeah of course! Anyway I assume you meant kotlc? Cause that’s the only thing I really write for but feel free to suggest something else and I I’ll see if I could do it.

Anyway here ya go love! Sorry if their bad.

Summary: he gang reacting to you self harming (neutral, you can see as either platonic or romantic, it’s not specified)

Warning: self harm; poor mental health; comfort

DNI if the subject triggers you; read at your own risk

~~~~

Fitz:

• I think he’ll have to take a minute to register what’s happening and then he’d rush over to stop you

•he’d make sure your alright then….. start yelling

•his worry would channel into anger like many of his emotions but as soon as he sees you flinch he’ll try to calm himself down

•he might just hug you and then make any precautions necessary to keep you from doing it again

• he’s devastated tho, he can’t believe someone he cares so deeply for would do this

Biana:

•immediately wackos whatever it is out of your hands (whether it be a lighter, knife or whatever); she literally karate chops it out of your hands

•after she takes you in her arms and hugs you tightly and won’t let go

•your both crying

•this reminds her of the dark time she was in after what Vespera did to her

•from then on she just makes sure your ok and is always more caring with you then before

Tam:

•would just freeze and you could feel the tension in the air

•then you’d start freaking out as he calmly walks over but instead of freaking out like you’d think he’d probably grabbed whatever you injured (arm;leg;head;etc) and just heal whatever you did

•then he’d pull you into a hug and just hold you and let you cry; he’s crying too

•then you’d just fall asleep together; not even in bed just wherever you are

•he’s way more careful with you now and more protective

Linh:

•she’s crying— like sobbing as runs over to stop you

•I honestly think she used to do it to herself after she got exiled but then Tam stopped her so this would remind her of her dark times

•she’d be so worried and be glued to your side

•always makes sure your comfortable and never forces you to go out if you don’t want to

•she’s more careful and caring, makes sure not to push you either

Sophie:

• would freeze as soon as she walks in and you wouldn’t notice her but before you could do it again she stops you

•she stops you by hugging you tightly and won’t let go until someone else walks in, sees the injuries and calls Elwin and then Elwin needs to pry Sophie off of you

•she will be so worried and start overthinking, she’ll try to keep you out of the war and black swan business but you get in it anyway

•tries to convince Forkle to fire you for your own mental health and safety but all he does is give you a temporary leave to heal (if that’s how it works)

•gets really worried and finally just lets it be and just is near you 24/7

•cuddles to sooth both of your broken minds (not to elfy broken, just minds in pain)

Dex:

•freaks out

•runs over and hugs you to stop you, you just freeze and he cries

•he's barely able to say anything while he's on the phone with Elwin

•this poor boy is definitely heartbroken, how could someone he cares so deeply for do that to themselves

•tries his best to make sure your ok and gives you lots of attention

Keefe:

•is frozen, literally

•tense eye contact then "tf you doin..."

•he's trying to stay calm as he walks over but you could see the many emotions and the panic in his eyes

•definitely feel like an emath at that moment

•he just makes sure your ok then pulls you into a hug

•is soft at first then the hug gets tighter to the point you can't breath

•he cries softly as this brings back memories of his own thoughts although he never did it himself.

•best cuddles of the century (better than anyone elses I may add)

•is just really sweet and more gentle with you

~~~~~~

Thanks for the request! I enjoyed writing this. Thanks for reading and anyone out there feel free to request anything. No limits go wild and I'll see if i can write it of not I'm sorry.

And yes to a few of you, I will write NSFW for adults or AGED UP characters.

I also write neverseen members becaus ei love them and always will. I love them more than black swan.

Anyway, bye loves!!

~Sahiko

“Are you staying or leaving”Keefe x reader

um hello, im Evie and I’m not an experienced writer, but I like imagining scenarios with the characters and stories I like, so I figured I’d try to share them, so maybe you could enjoy them too!

I typically imagine myself in these scenarios so I apologize if the reader presents feminine or is described in any way that might exclude another reader… uh, anyways, basically this is a short one shot/ head cannon/ prompt…? (I’m honestly not sure) about Keefe Sencen meeting and sort of falling for (human) reader while in the forbidden cites. It didn’t really follow the plot or timeline of stellerloon, it’s implied that he’s in the forbidden cities much longer than in the book and that he struggles way more with adapting and it’s probably very ooc…anyways I love Sokeefe but I just though the idea was interesting :]

oh this also isn’t proofread and it’s probably really cringy but yeah, there isn’t enough x reader fics in the Kotlc fandom so I figured I’d try, feedback and constructive criticism are welcome and encouraged :))

…

⭒ …

To put things simply, he was lost, hungry, confused, and currently short on cash. Turns out walking around with the money from his mothers jewelry in his pockets…wasn’t the safest plan. He’d lost a good amount of it, and probably been scammed out of most of it. He’d considered sneaking back to the lost cites to steal borrow some more of mommy-dearest’s stuff, but the idea of getting caught and possibly facing his friends caused him to quickly scratch that plan. Besides, if he could get away with it the fist time, then it would probably be even easier to take some things from one of the fancier human houses he had paced by in his travels.

So here he was, standing outside the biggest house he had seen in the neighborhood, if you could call it that- all the houses were so far apart that of you tried to walk from the first one to the last one, you might need to stop and camp before continuing to the end.

He had planned it all out-making sure to use the weird human invention called a phone- to look up the owners, make sure they weren’t very good people, or that they’d be home that particular night. He could easily levitate to one of the higher windows since no one would be around. The (l/n) family would be in their vacation home, far from here, and no grounds workers or servants would be back until the owners were ready to return.

It would be easy, slip in, grab a few valuable things, maybe some food too, then slip out and continue on his way to London. What he didn’t have a plan for, was you.

His plan had been going smoothly, he was inside and sifting through your mother’s jewelry box, when you walked in.

For a moment you both stared at each other. You, at the seemingly your age and incredibly handsome boy in black jeans and a Batman hoodie that was currently holding a pair of your mothers diamond earrings- and him at a girl, probably a little younger than him, standing in a soft pink nightgown, and holding a metal baseball bat in both hands.

That seemed to snap him out of his initial shock, and quickly throw his hands up so you wouldn’t hit him with it.

Braking your own trance, you pulled the bat back, and demanded, “Who are you? Why are you in my house? How did you even get in? Wha-”

He was quick to back up a bit before interrupting your questions, “I’m Keefe, I swear I’m not here to hurt you, I just needed to make some money real quick,I thought your family was away, I wouldn’t have come if I’d know you’d be home!” He internally smacked himself for his stupid mistake.

“Oh yeah ‘cause that makes it so much better” you said while rolling your eyes and lowering your arms and ignoring the strange feeling you got about him not wanting to be there while you were, even though it made no sense for you to be upset by that. You decided to blame it on the fact that it was 2:47 am and he just happens to have really nice hair.

You pitched your voice lower to mimic his before adding, “I swear I’d only steal from you if I didn’t think you’d be home to catch me (y/n) sorry ‘bout that.” and then swung the bat around to place the head on the floor and lean your weight against it while smirking at him.

His eyebrows shot up, surprised that you were almost joking with him right now, instead of clobbering his head with the bat, like he thought you were about to. He cleared his throat, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, I just-actually I don’t know what I was trying to achieve with that..” He brought his arms down to wrap them around himself, before deciding that he probably looked stupid standing in front of you like that. Especially since you seemed so calm.

“Um, I should go,, I don’t, this was a mistake, sorry, I-I should probably go now-God I sound like an idiot right now. No wonder you aren’t scared of me. Not that i wanted you to be, of course i didn’t. Who would want a pretty girl with a weapon to be scared of them? Not that I think you’re pretty. I mean you’re not, not, pretty im just-“

It was time for your to cut him off, “hey! Relax ok, im honestly not sure what your rambling about right now, but you look like you haven’t eaten in days, and im going to ignore the fact that you called me ugly and pretty just now and offer you some food so you stop trying to steal from me.”

He took a step closer to you, confused as to why he was being so unlike himself right and even more confused as to why you were now offering him kindness. He focused on the emotions coming from you, trying to figure out if you were only helping him out of pity, but only finding empathy and a few more frantic vibes.

You shifted under his suddenly intense-and very close (seriously when had he backs you up against your mothers vanity chair)-gaze, the moonlight steaming through the open window highlighted his eyes and you could see in your proximity the striking ice blue and the darker flecks of azure, cobalt, and royal blue. but you shook your head and forced yourself to ignore his stunning eyes to push him back and question why he had gotten so quite and intense.

He apologized and stepped even further back. “ I guess I was trying to see why you were being so nice to me.”

“And you thought the best way was to push the limits of stranger danger and stare into my soul all intensely with your snowstorm eyes?”

You had meant to be teasing him, but the words came out quieter then you meant them to be, and he seemed to pick up on the later half more than the first.

“So… you were staring at my eyes?” There he was, flirty and teasing and giving you a smirk that had your insides doing weird flippy-floppy things they didn’t usually do.

You felt your face get warm, and you prayed to whatever higher powers there might be that your face wasn’t nearly as red as it felt.

Not that it mattered of course.

He gave you another smirk before letting out a laugh that would have the best choir angels embarrassed by their singing abilities. And that had your betraying face warm even more.

“C’mon, let’s get you something to eat before you push me into this mirror” you quickly turned to the door to lead him towards your own room.

He followed you down the long hallway while teasing you about the pink hue that still refused to let up, particularly due do his continued torture.

You grabbed a coat from your closet and pocketed some cash before leading him out the front door.

“So where are we going (n/n)? I didn’t see anything down this way to eat while I was stalki-er, uh, looking up this place.” He cringed at himself for reminding you about the circumstances of your meeting.

You ignored the word slip and the little nickname in favor of describing a little town with plenty of back alley restaurants that you often snuck out to eat at when your parents were actually home.

He caught the shift in your mood when you mentioned your parents and decided to risk asking about it, besides, how much weirder could this first meeting get?

“Sooo…. I’m kinda confused about something.” “Yeah? What’s up?” You slowed slightly to look at him while he spoke, noticing his slight shift in tone.

“Well, you don’t have to answer or anything, since you don’t really know me-”

“Oh wow, uh sorry to interrupt, but it feels like I do, given how easy it is to talk to you, strange that we only meet what? An hour ago?”

He stoped walking completely to stare at you. “Really? Only an hour? Huh it does feel like we’ve know each other longer…”

The both of you fell quite for a moment before walking again, this time with your destination in sight.

“Uh anyways, why are you here, if your parents and staff are away?” He focused on you emotions to make sure he hadn’t seriously overstepped.

“Oh, well, we don’t really agree about much, or anything really. They’re jerks that only care about money and showing off to other people about how perfect they are. My mom is always taking about how young men approach her about leaving her husband because shes so ‘naturally’ beautiful and my dad is always bragging about how incredibly smart he is and how good he is at handling his business. They like to talk about how well they raised me, even though they never spent time with me or did any of the parenting stuff, and they like to parade around like they’re better than everyone when really, they’re miserable together and they’re always doing shady shit behind the scenes of their business. When they said they wanted to go on a cruise around one of their vacation homes I refused to go with them because they’d just ignore me and force me to play along with their stupid charade.”

By now you were standing in front of a tiny Italian restaurant with low lights and tall booths, very warm and inviting, the perfect safe space that just so happened to smell amazing. And Keefe was more than ready to eat whatever smelled so good. Even if it meant more of the god-awful human water.

But he couldn’t help but stop to watch you for a minute. It was insane how easy it felt to be around you, and safe. He had been in the forbidden cities for months and this was the safest he’d felt in a very long time. Everything about you felt like a complement to him. Even your shitty social status obsessed parents were another way you were similar.

You looked at him, and for a moment he wondered if the weird emotional flurry around you meant you felt the same way. “Keefe? We should head inside, and you can tell me about whatever led to you breaking into my house.”

You giggled at him, it was soft and sweet and he absolutely believed that you could bribe any of the councilors to do your bidding if you wanted to with that laugh.

The rest of the night (or rather, incredibly early morning) was spent sharing every detail about both his and your lives, even when he confessed that he was an elf you barely bat an eye, and he could tell that you genuinely didn’t mind that his mom had done all kinds of weird shit to his head.

You shared your own secrets as well, and you marveled at how accepting he was. Everyone and everything faded away, and for a few hours you were simply two teens that could really understand each other, and it was you best either of you had felt in a very long time.

As the sun came up you took him to the roof of a flower shop that had yet to open for the day. Together you sat and shared the desert from the restaurant while you described your passion for drawing, and he described his. Everything just seem perfect and both you and him wished it could last forever.

Of course things could never be that easy, after all, he explained why he was in the forbidden cities, and you understood that he would probably return to his world eventually, but that did nothing to stop the overwhelming desire to kiss him and run away together.

Even as he explained how his empathy worked and you tried to get your emotions in check so he wouldn’t think you were insane for developing such strong feelings in the span of a few hours, nothing could shadow them.

And when he looked at you, even more intensely than that first time he read you in your mothers bedroom, you couldn’t help but feel like he felt the same way.

He leaned forward slightly and you met him halfway, there was a hairs space between you, and you could feel his warm breath, see all the different blues in his eyes, and smell his soft skin…

“Wait Keefe.”

He froze and his eyes opened so wide you almost worried they would crack like real ice.

“Yes (y/n)? Is something wrong? Did I say something or-”

You cut him off before could spiral, trying to make your emotions clear so he wouldn’t worry so much.

“ I have to ask, after everything you’ve said, are you staying or leaving?”

He paused before pulling back and letting out a deeply emotional sigh. “I have to go, there’s still so much I don’t know or understand, and I still haven’t made it to London to look for those people and, wait! What if, and I know this might sound crazy but…”

He trailed off looking afraid to continue. You could feel your heart beating faster than ever before, and you tried to not get your hopes up. Gently, you urged him to continue, especially since these next words could change everything for you.

He said your name in a way that made your soul tingle and your stomach knot, “Would you be willing, to leave with me?”

You stared at each other for a moment, before you closed your eyes and quickly but softly pressed your lips to his. For a moment, your were scared, for a moment, you considered pulling back, for a moment, you thought you read all his teasing and flirting wrong and completely ruined the best night of your life, and then? He was kissing you back. He was wrapping an arm around your waist and cupping his hand around your face. He was blushing and nervous and probably feeling everything you were feeling.But he was kissing you back. And everything felt perfect.

Slowly you pulled apart and he reseted his forehead against yours while closing his eyes.

The two of you sat there, on the roof of the flower shop, bathed in soft light of the rising sun, practically glowing in each other’s arms.

It would be risky, but leaving everything behind for him seemed worth it, not that there was anything really keeping you here. Maybe you were crazy, but leaving with him felt like the best idea you had ever had, and you were not going to give that up.

He could only hope that none of this would put you in to much danger, but he’d do anything to protect you now, and keep you by his side. Maybe he was crazy, or maybe his mom had truly screwed his head on wrong after she messed him up, but this was the best thing that ever happened to him, and he was not about to give that up.

Finally doing a follow-up to that post I made a few months ago about writing little ‘character x reader’ fics for KOTLC a few months ago…

I made a little google forms thing here to anyone who want to do it, basically I would match you with a KOTLC character based on your personality and preferences, then write a little one-shot of what it would be like dating them (or being friends with them, I could do platonic too!)

I’d probably also find some photos on pinterest that fit the vibes to put with it!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ulF5psT8kSWs1eEpMtr53xJsnIZ4Icqv-Q6qsGX_PRg/edit

Here’s a tag list for the people who were interested before:

Reconnection. Keefe Sencen x Reader!

(This has been in my drafts for like almost a year n im too lazy to finish it, so take what i have to give fellow keefe simps <3)

Everyone stood huddled around the table, all staring begrudgingly at an unrolled scroll. Complete silence as they all attempted to read whatever the stupid thing said. The scroll had been one of many that Tam and Sophie had stolen from the warehouse before they burned it. Neither Grady or Edline had been able to decipher what it said and gave it back to Sophie. Thinking perhaps one of her friends would decode it. So far no one has been able to understand anything besides a few symbols here and there. Keefe grew tireless of the silence and was the first to break the noiseless atmosphere, “I think we’ve spent enough time looking at these Flareadon scratches on paper Foster.” Keefe said, “maybe we should take a break.”

“No, I think I’m finally understanding some of this,” Sophie said while leaning closer into the scroll, she and the rest of the group had been staring at it since everyone had gotten to Heaven Field, “I just need a few more minutes.”

“Sophie, we've been here for 10 minutes already,” Dex informed her, “I’m pretty sure I saw Fitz go cross-eyed twice.”

“Maybe my eyes have gone crossed but you gave up after the first 5 minutes,” Fitz countered.

Tensions between everyone in the group had begun after Fitz and Sophie broke up. It got significantly worse after Keefe had run from the lost cities and Sophie burned down the Neverseen’s warehouse. But now Keefe was back and they were trying to focus on the more important things. Like staring at paper.

“Yeah, because we clearly haven't gotten anywhere,” Dex stated while moving away from the scroll and towards Fitz, “We all saw you looking at Sophie and then turning away to feel sorry for yourself.”

“Proving my point aren’t you?” Fitz spat, “ Why were you wasting time staring at me instead of-”

“OKAY OKAY THATS ENOUGH,” Sophie shouted. A headache had formed after having to stare at lines and marks on a scroll for what was almost 2 hours. She was already sitting at the table sifting through a huge pile of scrolls with Grady and Edaline before Wyile and Linh showed up to help.

They had told the rest to meet at Haven Field to help after Wylie realized they were not getting anywhere with only 3 tired teens. Sophie sighed, “Dex is right, we really aren’t getting anywhere just sitting here and starting screaming matches. Let’s all just take a break and clear our minds.”

“Perfect! I'm gonna go outside and play with Glitter Butt,” Keefe said while making his way towards the door, “if you need me send a message!”

“No, you are not!” Ro grinned while picking Keefe up, “after that stunt you pulled, I will be SEVERELY restricting your freedom pretty boy.”

“Awh please?” Keefe pleaded to Ro, “It’s not like Glitter Butt will listen to me if I ask her to teleport away with me.”

“Nope! You're staying right here with me.”

“Fine..”

Keefe slumped down on his seat and pouted. Sophie was actually somewhat relieved that Ro hadn’t let him go. A huge part of her was terrified that he’d just up and leave again.

Everyone had returned to being silent. Sophie wished that they could all go back to how close they used to be. Back when everything was simpler, and her only worry was having to dance in a stupid school show.

But she couldn’t waste her time reminiscing on stuff like that. There were more urgent things at hand, like figuring out what that stupid scroll meant. She was really hoping she was right about it meaning something important. If she was wrong, they would’ve already wasted 3+ hours on a dead end.

“Biana,” Fitz started, breaking the silence “do you remember Y/n? The girl we hung out with a lot when we were younger?”

“Oh yeah!” Biana beamed, “the one with the gorgeous hair right?”

“Uh sure, do you think she’d understand what some of the scroll says?”

Sophie raised an eyebrow. There was no way anyone would be able to make sense of that scroll. Just as Keefe had pointed out, it looked exactly like Flareadon scratches. Sophie was sure she could recreate it if she took a blade and went rouge on a piece of paper. Biana placed a finger on her bottom lip. “Mmm, maybe. She did have that phase where she was obsessed with those hieroglyphics from the Forbidden Cities."

"Ohh yeah Y/n!" Keefe chimed, "I remember her. She forced all of us to learn those stupid symbols that summer, I hated it."

Biana sent a glare towards Keefe, "Are you serious?" She scoffed, "you were totally in love with her during the entirety of our childhood! Right Fitz?"

“Right, you did absolutely anything to spend time with her” Fitz agreed, “including, learning ancient hieroglyphics. You’d stare at her for hours while she read and drew them in her notebook.”

“Woahh! Whats this? An unrequited love?” Ro teased, “perhaps we should write a ballad about it, call it ‘The balled of Y/n and Keefe’ yeah?”

Keefe scowled at his bodyguard, "shut up” he said while rolling his eyes.

“Anyway, as I was saying” Biana continued, turning to face Sophie. “She had this phase with ciphers and hieroglyphics one summer and she got really good at reading them, she could definitely lend us a hand with…well all of these.” Biana said motioning towards the huge pile of scrolls sprawled out on the table.

"But the problem is," Fitz sighed while running a hand through his hair, “We haven't spoken with her in almost 5 years,” he explained, “and don't you think it'd be a bit rude to suddenly show up to her home asking for help to read some very suspicious scrolls?”

“True,” Dex agreed, “I’d be pretty freaked out if a group of people showed up in my house after not talking to me for like 5 years just to go ‘Hey! Wanna help me understand what all these lines and squiggles mean! You know, just for old times' sake? Also, I can't at all explain to you why we need to know what these scrolls say or where they came from. Sorry!”

The group of teens all unanimously heaved out a sigh, another possible solution slipping away.

“Alright...well what if we send just one of you three over?” Sophie suggested, “She’s more likely to help one of you rather than a 7 of us strangers right?”

“Oh perfect! I’ll light leap home to get changed and then come back to pick up the scrolls, it shouldnt take more than 15 minutes.” Biana said while standing up.

“Don't you think we should send Keefe?” Ro asked, “that way if she says no, he and her can just have a smooch fest to make up for the lost time?” Ro said while wrapping her arms around herself and making kissing sounds at Keefe. Him shoving her face away from his with a firm push.

“No way, Y/n is too mature to deal with either Keefe or Biana's childish behavior. In all honesty, I'm our best bet at getting her to help us.” Fitz said confidently, trying to hide his smug look.

Biana gasped, "What?! Me and Y/n were like best friends, she's more likely to trust me than either of you shady boys. Also-"

"Key word," Fitz interrupted, "were like best friends."

The gold notebook is just Keefes batman fanart

#Sophie goes to look in the notebook #And the first thing she sees is just like #Shirtless batman or something #As she gets deeper it slowly switches to x reader fanfic as well #Horror washes through her as ro sadly admits that #The only reason she kept trying to set them up was so keefe would get over batman #The one man he can never have #Kotlc

knight!sophie x reader headcanons

you are a runaway royal and sophie the knight has tracked you and orders you to come home, but you smirk and she sighs because she knows that you have authority over her as the king and queen are not around, so now she is going to have to accompany you on your little journey

in the end she doesn't really care too much where you go, just that you don't get hurt.

you encounter dangers together... you tend to her wounds after a fight....

after the first scuffle, she's resistant to you taking care of her. she’s able to avoid your care that round, but the second she gets into another situation, you order her to take her armor and shirt off... before realizing too late exactly what that entails

no worries, she knows what you mean. she doesn’t mention it and silently obeys

you see all her scars under her armor. she grimaces but tries to stay quiet as you dress the wounds. she can’t help but hiss in pain when you tie one a little too tight, and when you panic and loosen it she assures you she's fine.

after weeks of fighting and protecting you and staying up what seems like 24/7 to guard you, she lets down her guard and falls asleep against your shoulder that night.

but that’s just the beginning: one night, after an evening of mead and dancing in the nearby pub, you stumble out together, laughing and feeling warm inside. in a moment the laughter between you dies down and you just gaze at each other, listening to each other's breaths, before you lean in and close your eyes, butterflies exploding in your stomach as you feel sophie, too, lean towards you and your lips brush-

if reader isn’t amab and sophie is a woman... that would not be acceptable during that time period.

at some point, reader would eventually confess and sophie looks elated but then her smile falls because no, she has a duty and it's wrong and she can't court a royal of all people.

she takes her hand out of yours and looks away, shaking her head as she insists it cannot happen. she becomes distant because she doesn't want to taint the reader, not like that, but reader keeps pushing and insisting that it can work, they're already halfway across the kingdom and if they make it out of the border they can go somewhere else and forget this nightmare and live on their own-

ANYWAY, back to the pub night where we started: the evening doesn’t go any farther than that one kiss, but you fall asleep against her and it’s so warm and you feel so safe....

however, when morning comes, you wake up to find sophie missing. when you get up to look for her, it doesn’t take more than a few seconds to discover she’s sitting feet away by herself.

when she hears you approach, she stands up quickly and clears her throat. she asks you whether you're ready to get going, and you can tell she's acting very strange, so you wonder if she remembers the night before. eventually, you assume she must because she flinches away at your every touch and is distant the whole day

sophie trying to act like she's all business. sophie not using her nickname for you anymore, just calling you by your royal title. sophie insisting there be a certain amount of distance between the two of you so that she can better "survey the area" without you getting in the way, though you know she just wants space. sophie insisting you don't touch anymore. sophie insisting there be less time for chattering after meals so that you get moving and on your feet faster.

you can feel her pulling away and it breaks you because you spent so long tearing those walls down and now it feels like she's running away from you the same way you ran away from home

(but no worries! we all know i can't end a love story badly, so they'll reconcile and figure it out eventually ;) )

....the reader almost dies for plot reasons and these plot reasons are so that sophie can go feral trying to protect you and also so she can snap during your recovery and admit she loves you and can't live without you-

sophie's in the middle of handing you food and letting you eat when she's staring at you and tears start slipping down her cheeks. her nostrils flare and she sniffles and chokes a little and you ask what's wrong, which only make her break down more. and then when she wipes her eyes and looks back at you, fighting to compose herself, she breaks with a garbled laugh and reaches over to brush some crumbs from around your mouth. she lets her finger stay longer than needed. she meets your eyes and you see hers well up again as she bites her lip.

and then it all spills. she whispers about how she can't let you die, she can't see you hurt, she can't let you go. she wants you so bad, she doesn't care if everyone else says it's wrong because she knows that it's right and she was so stupid to ever push you away and she feels terrible that she ever hurt you like that. she just thought she was protecting you. she thought she was bad for you, like the world said. but now sophie sees she can be good for you. and you can be good for her. and she slips her hands around your face and sniffles to you about how she doesn't want to leave you. she wants to go somewhere and build a home and a life and a family. and she's so sorry she ever let you get hurt. sophie doesn't know how the attacker snuck up like that, but she swears it wont happen again. she swears she won't let anyone touch you.

you cup your hands over the ones she has on your cheeks and you can't help but weep with her. she's all you've ever wanted. you aren't sure of anything else in life except her. and she wants you.

...halfway through the sweet confession you realize how unclothed you are and how you hadn't noticed until now that you're bandaged in places that would require the removal of your clothes.

you look down at your torso. then you look up at her. her eyebrows scrunch and then you softly ask, "...did you..?"

her eyes shoot open and she blushes and insists it was just medical and she tried to cover you or not look but she was bandaging really fast and you were sort of bleeding out so swears she wasn't focused-

there's nothing but the crackle of the fire for a few moments after that. and she's still blushing as you look over at her. slowly, she meets your eyes again. you whisper and ask if she'd like to focus with you.

it takes her a moment to understand what you mean, and her eyes grow big and bright with that beautiful surprised face she has, and you can see the way her breathing picks up. she struggles to answer, not knowing what to say, and then you lean your face a bit closer. it's an invitation. a starting point. and you stay in the spot you nudged your chin to, waiting for her response.

it barely takes a second before her hands are cradling your face again and she's kissing you, twisting your mouth against hers, parting for air and returning so quickly you swear it's like she thinks you're some sort of miraculous medicine. she's ravishing your mouth deep and slow kisses, tilting your head for more access, and all you can think about is how you can't think. your brain is melting and your body feels like it's a puddle, but at the same time, you can feel the frantic thump of your heart and the heat pooling in your stomach at the way her mouth captures yours. her hands fisting in your hair. your hands settling on her waist and you pull her forward and let her crawl above you, thighs on either side of your body as she sits over your lap. her hands travelling down as she kisses along your neck. she feels up your sides, runs her thumbs down your arms, slides her hands along the small of your back. and eventually she pulls back and looks you in the eyes for a second.

she just.... looks. her panting and yours are the only things you hear besides the fire until she leans forward and brings your lips together again, kissing you slower, longer.

.....yeah i uh i want sophie foster to kiss me and then settle down to snuggle with me for the night beside the fire

totally off topic, but i can’t stop thinking about dressing her wounds - her arms and back are incredibly toned and she has scars all across her torso,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hnghhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnngbfvrh

also! i'm just thinking about earlier on in the au before either of you have confessed and she insisted on you taking a bath in the river so that you could freshen up before you had to get on the road again, and that she'd take watch so no one would sneak up you while you did so, and once you get out and get dressed you tell her it's her turn.

sophie is so confused and says that, no, that's not the plan. you two have to get moving. but you shake your head and say that she must be hot under all that armor and if she can watch over you while you bathe, you can do the same for her. you'll alert her if you see or hear anything.

it takes a lot of convincing, but she huffs and strips out of the clanky armor and goes down by the water. and she strips on the shore and wades in and you know you aren't supposed to look in that direction and you don’t plan to, but your stupid weird little brain can’t stop making unwanted images!

oh, sophie teaching you how to wield her sword and finding the way it’s a little too heavy for you amusing

it takes you a while to convince her to so much as allow you to touch it because she seems to think you'll accidentally impale yourself, but once you do convince her she stands behind you and holds your hands in hers, and keeps the sword steady in your hands and murmurs instructions into your ears and you can barely focus because she smells like cinnamon and smoke and she’s so close to you

all you can think about while she's murmuring in your ear is her stooping just a tad lower to kiss on your neck, and you just wish she'd drop the sword already and put her hands on your waist and spin you around-

possible scene but maybe it's just me spitballing/yearning? um, i want sophie foster to back me against the wall of a bar and as i sit there and stutter because our chests are together and she's practically breathing me in as she whispers to stay still, she's covering me because someone just walked into the bar looking for me- and her hand is on her thigh where she's strapped a dagger and she's telling me to stay still and be quiet and they might not come over here if they don't see my face but hell, all i can think about is kissing her

......yeah i'm Yearning

OKAY so the reader almost dies, right? i've been thinking about it and maybe the royal family isn’t very popular, so when the reader gets recognized they’re kidnapped and held for ransom. but when the kidnappers realize they likely won’t reap any reward, they decide to get rid of the reader and escape - because even if a ransom won’t get paid, they still kidnapped a member of the royal family and that’s punishable by death.

so, they tie the reader up and leave them bleeding. sophie tracks the kidnappers down, thinking they have reader. but they lie. they tell her that they killed the reader to get rid of dead weight

and sophie? sophie goes ballistic. she kills all of them ruthlessly and without mercy and the last person screams out moments before death that they left reader tied up miles away

given the general location, sophie goes off to find the reader and discovers them unconscious and bound, bleeding out. its all a blur from there.

sophie tries her hardest to untie you quickly while not moving you two much, trying to keep from crying because dammit she has a job to do and no one else is there to help her tend to your broken body, and she frantically starts to throw every supply down that she has, hoping there's something that can help-

sophie tends to the wounds and makes camp and doesn't leave your side until you wake up

and once you finally do, she feeds you and keeps you hydrated... and then That scene happens, if you remember it, way back up there :)

#smooch, you feel?

#i wrote this literal years ago #and i never posted it #idk why but here! some people requested it so i figured it wouldn't hurt to let it out of the drafts :)#kotlc #sophie foster #rated T #keeper of the lost cities #sophie foster x reader #kotlc headcanons

Keefe Sencen x Reader

References: Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger

Summary: When all bottled emotions finally broke free, can Keefe prove himself an empath good enough to recognize your feelings for him?

Warning(s): Some kissing, insecurity, slight angst.(She/her) for the reader.

(A/n: You're bound to have blue eyes in this imagine since all elves have blue eyes, except for Sophie.)

"We've been friends for like years now, and you didn't even tell me that you're close with this (Y/n)?" Sophie asked Fitz in disbelief after she licked the strip of her locker to open it with her DNA.

"I don't like to brag—"

"So she's something to brag about?" Sophie interrupted the young Vacker.

"I know you've heard of (Y/n), she's practically the star of Foxfire. But she's a year younger than Keefe and I, and a year older than you and Biana. She's bound to have different schedules and classes than us, plus she doesn't exactly strut around and mingle with others." Fitz explained, leaning against a locker near Sophie's. His dark hair glinted from the hall's reflective light and his pair of teal eyes are just as bright.

"How did you guys meet, and what is she like?"

"We basically grew up together, the four of us—me, Keefe, Biana and (Y/n). Biana basically treats her like an older sister, she often wished (Y/n)'s her sibling than me when I infuriate her. (Y/n)'s family is one of the nobles, from the Elite levels. Her parents are both Emissaries, they're friends of my Dad and Mom as well so as their children we're bound to be friends." Fitz explained, and Sophie nodded along.

"Plus!" Sophie and Fitz both shrieked when Biana appeared out of nowhere. They keep forgetting she's a Vanisher; someone who can blink out of light and make herself invisible. "She's pretty cool. Besides you, Sophie and a few elves, she has more than one gift."

"Really?" Sophie asked curiously.

"Uh-huh, everyone thinks she's the next Orem Vacker." Orem Vacker is a relative of Fitz and Biana, a very powerful Flasher.

"She can manipulate light?"

"Yep," Fitz said, popping the 'p'. "And she just recently found out that she's also a Mesmer. Her mentor is Grady himself, being as he's the only Mesmer besides (Y/n)."

"It's super cool when she do it. She's already superb as a Flasher, all she has to enhance now is mesmerizing." Biana told her.

"Why didn't we ever meet? Doesn't she go to Everglen?" Sophie asked, pertaining the Vacker's home address.

"Of course she does, silly. She just doesn't visit whenever you do, coincidentally." Biana giggled, vanishing into thin air.

"I hate it when she does that." Fitz says, only for his head to duck on its own. Sophie realized that Biana just hit the back of his head.

"Ow! You can't just do that!"

"I just did, and I am not hesitating to do it again." The invisible girl threatened.

"What about lunch?" Sophie asked. "Doesn't she eat at the cafeteria?"

"Nah, she eats in the library. It's basically her home when she's here at Foxfire." Fitz answered.

So mysterious, Sophie thought. And Keefe thinks she's the Queen of Mysteriousness.

~*~

Later that day, Sophie decided to go to Everglen when school was done. When Fitz opened the gate for her, he was smiling widely.

"What's up?" Sophie asked.

"It's your lucky day. (Y/n) decided to visit today, which means you get to meet her." he said and dragged her to their backyard.

Sophie heard giggles from Biana, and when they finally reached the clearing, she saw a girl as pretty—if not more—as Biana. That must be (Y/n) (L/n).

Her silky (h/c) hair was braided and tied like a crown around her head, a golden comb pinned her hair in place. She has pretty features and a pair of beautiful royal blue eyes. She also wear a tunic the same shade as her eyes, with golden swirling patterns. On her chest is a family pin, a golden key with wings—probably the symbol of (L/n) family.

Biana giggled again and Sophie realized why. (Y/n) is playing with her power, controlling balls of light on the air and lighting them up in different colors. Keefe is watching by a tree, leaning against the trunk and watching (Y/n) instead of the light. Sophie bit back a grin.

(Y/n) looks so powerful and regal, Sophie felt a little insecure. Here's another girl who looks like a princess she's about to meet. Sophie's hands turned even more clammy when (Y/n) tore her eyes away from her light and landed on Sophie and Fitz.

"You must be the one and only Sophie Foster. I've heard a lot from Keefe and anyone else." (Y/n) greeted them as they neared her. She swiped her hand on the air indifferently and the balls of light disappeared.

"Hopefully all good things." Sophie said as she glared at Keefe who shrugged at her, grinning.

"Just that you got kidnapped by rebels in second year, bottled a destructive star, almost wage a war against Ogres—the list goes on," she stood in front of Sophie and she realized how tall (Y/n) is up close. "I'm (Y/n), pleasure to finally meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine." Sophie shook hands with her and sniffed a hint of lavender and sunflowers from (Y/n). How can a girl smell so good? What shampoo does she use, because Sophie sincerely wanna know.

"Great," exclaimed Biana and hooked her arms around one of theirs. "Now that all girls are present, let's have a girl day. Shall we?"

"Ugh, what is up with girls and make-overs?" Keefe groaned, hitting the back of his head against the tree.

"Girls also know how to be fun, you know? Just in our own way. You and Fitz could do your own guy-talk or whatever." (Y/n) said and walked with Biana and Sophie into the house.

"So, what are we doing?" Sophie asked once they stepped into Biana's room. The smell of different fragrances immediately greeted them, mostly girlish smell like flowers and perfumes. Tossed on some corners of the bedroom were different sparkly dresses and pretty tunics Biana own.

"How about getting to know each other?" (Y/n) suggested, walking over to Biana's shelves with books. Sophie saw how you clearly love books, seeing your eyes brighten at the sight of their lined-up spines.

"Nah, I already know the both of you." Biana waved her hand in the air.

You raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? I think I'm pretty hard to read."

"Please, we've been best friends since birth."

"Well, how about just me and Sophie? Then we'd get back at you after, we'll give you time to prepare your make-up station." You hooked your arm around Sophie's and dragged her from the room before Biana could argue.

"Hey—okay, fineee!"

As soon as you reached the gardens of Everglen, you guided Sophie to sit on a bench beside you. You sighed in relief and admired the flowers on their uniqueness.

"Don't you love it here? The Vackers do well in taking care of their household." You said, leaning against the back of the bench and looked around.

"Yeah, Della is a perfectionist when it comes to beauty on everything." Sophie agreed.

"I guess we shouldn't be surprised Biana grew up that way, eh?" They shared a chuckle.

"So, you and Fitz." You said, smiling at her subtly.

Sophie blushed. "What about him?"

"Oh come on, girls are supposed to be resilient. You can't possibly be oblivious by the way he looks at you. I should know because I grew up with him, I can read Fitz like an open book, better than his telepathic ability."

Somehow, Sophie couldn't help but feel nervous. What if you actually like Fitz? There's no way she could compete with someone as perfect as you.

"I don't think...I think he's just friendly." Sophie stuttered.

"Nah, he's totally crazy about you." Sophie blushed and bowed her head.

"Do you...do you like him?"

Sophie stared at you in confusion when you erupted in laughter. You clutched your stomach in a fit of giggles until it subsided.

"Me? Fitz? Not gonna happen. He's like my brother." Sophie could actually breathe in relief at your words. She felt embarrassed for asking such question.

"Oh, sorry. I just thought—"

"I like someone else,"

"What?"

"Incase you're worried. I like someone else—well, like could be a weak term. It's more than like, I just don't know if I'm ready to call it love." Your shoulders shrugged, lips pouting as you stared around you.

"Who?" Sophie asked curiously. She feels unusually giddy, like excited to share a secret with a fellow girl.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" You asked, chewing your lips in anxiety.

"I promise."

"It's...K-Keefe." You confessed, blushing madly.

"What?!"

"Shush!"

"Oh, sorry. It's just...why?" Sophie asked, genuinely confused.

"Why not? He's funny, kind, and most of all...free. Whenever I'm with him, he makes me feel less tensed. Whenever I'm with him... I'm happy." You sighed.

"Okay, I totally get it. But Keefe's a bit...I dunno, troublesome?"

You laughed. "Oh, I'm perfectly aware. Sometimes he pranks me or pulls me into his troubles, he says I'm too uptight..." Your smile suddenly became a sad one. "Which is why he couldn't possibly feel the same. He needs someone who's like him, fun and all. Not someone who reminds him of his awful father who's always forcing him to be the perfect son."

"(Y/n)...you're perfect for him. You could keep him well-grounded, keep him out of troubles. I'm sure he feels the same way." You cringed involuntarily. Sophie is actually...the very definition of oblivious.

"I'm not sure about that."

"Well—"

"Girls!" Biana suddenly appeared out of thin air with a wide grin on her face. "Keefe and Fitz wanted to play base quest, let's go!"

You sighed. "Alright, sure."

"Okay," Sophie shrugged, still a little confused at her talk with you.

It was girls versus boys, you volunteered to play referee so no one would cheat and stood in the middle between two bases. You watched the whole game with a smile, until you saw Keefe tackle Sophie to the ground. Sophie complained, but has a smile on her face while Keefe laughed. You felt your heart twist in a painful way.

"It hurts." You whispered to Biana when she stood in concern beside you. She didn't say anything, instead she just took your hand and gave it a squeeze.

Keefe suddenly turned his head to look at you and frowned. You flashed a subtle smile at him, announcing they won this time.

~*~

"Come on, Ms. (L/n)!" Orem Vacker yelled as you to give your best to create the biggest ball of light you've ever made yet. Your chest heaved up and down as the cluster of energy expanded while you stretched your arms further.

Anger, jealousy and bitterness fueled you to create a giant spectral on the sky. Students from other levels came out of their classrooms to watch your display. You stood in the middle of the field in Foxfire, so you'd be in everyone's view.

"Okay, that's enough." Your mentor said, only to panic when you didn't listen. Your eyes began to burn for watching your light too long, but this is the only way to let go of your emotions you've bottled up for so long.

Earlier that day, you recalled what Stina had said to you when you were leaving the main building.

"You've been grumpy since morning, (L/n)."

"I don't have time for your nasty words, Stina."

"Oh, I know why you're so cranky!" she grinned deviously. "Maybe it's the way Keefe's looking at her...at Sophie."

~*~

Keefe and Fitz passed the hallway together to their next class, when suddenly, they heard whispers from students who ran past them.

"...you heard?"

"Yeah, (Y/n)'s out of control!"

"Let's go see it!"

Keefe and Fitz exchanged a worried look with each other before following where the other students are heading. They reached the field and saw you standing under a giant ball of light. It's as big as half of the pyramid!

Keefe could see Orem Vacker yelling you to stop and attempting to close up, but your light was too powerful. It's getting hotter by the minute, ready to reach its boiling point.

Keefe stared at you in concern, watching helplessly as you turn paler each second. He walked up to you, but the light burned his eyes so he stumbled back. He's worried you might fade away, the same way elves get when they lightleap without much concentration.

The ball of light began to dim, fading away and getting smaller until it flickered off. It was the same time as your knees buckled and you flashed a sad glance at Keefe before falling on the ground.

"(Y/n)!" Keefe reached you first, cradling you in his arms.

"Take her to Elwin! Hurry up!" Orem Vacker instructed, and Keefe immediately carried you up.

The three of them, including Fitz, ran to the healing center in a hurry. You felt really light and limp to Keefe, his heart began to thump nervously. He couldn't lose you.

"Professor, what happened?" Keefe heard Fitz ask to Orem Vacker. They're still in formalities even if he's Fitz great, something, grandfather.

"She lost control, that's what. I don't exactly know why she didn't listen, she just continued to enlarge the spectral. It takes up too much energy to conjure a light as powerful as that. Even when I was her age, I wasn't able to accomplish such feat." Keefe tightened his hold on you.

"Oh he—what happened?!" Elwin asked as they interrupted his lunch.

"(Y/n)!" Keefe gasped as he settled you down on a bunk, as if it's enough explanation to Elwin.

~*~

Keefe and Fitz waited anxiously outside the clinic as Elwin and Orem worked to heal you inside. After a while, Fitz left to tell Biana and Sophie the news. Keefe didn't, thinking what he would do if he'd lose you. The thought makes him shake his head. No matter what happens, he won't give up on you.

"Keefe? What are you still doing here?" Orem Vacker asked as he spotted him on the floor beside the door.

"Professor, is she okay?" Keefe said instead.

"She will be. For now she needs tremendous rest to regain her energy, but Elwin's already sorting everything out. Excuse me, I must report to her parents."

Orem Vacker left while Keefe entered the clinic, sitting beside your bunk and staring at your features. The natural color of your face is slowly returning, your breathing now normal and face peacefully asleep.

"You think you can watch her for a minute? You guys never let me have my lunch." Elwin asked and Keefe silently nodded. It was silent after the healer left.

"Mmm..." Keefe immediately straightened as you groaned and your eyes fluttered open.

"(Y/n)? Are you feeling better?"

"Keefe? What are you doing here?" You mumbled, slowly hoisting yourself up to sit with your back against the headboard. Keefe helped you and you blushed.

"I was worried. What is up with you?" You bowed your head and fiddled with your fingers.

"I-I was...angry. I just lost it." You said silently.

"Why? What happened?"

"Nothing..." You mumbled.

"(Y/n), please—" Keefe gripped your hand and your heart thumped faster. He immediately let go when a strong emotion surged through him from you. "No."

A sobbed escaped your lips and your body began to tremble. Tears sprung from your eyes and you hid your face from him using your hair as a curtain. Keefe sat frozen, disbelieving for what he just felt from touching you.

"(Y/n)..."

"Yeah," You sniffed and wiped your tears away. "I feel that way for you, Keefe. Now you know."

"Why did you overuse your power? I don't understand."

"Because I frickin' love you, Keefe!" Keefe could feel his heart racing. You finally faced him with anger and sadness in your eyes. "I see the way you look at her, at Sophie. And I...I couldn't handle it. I bottled too much emotions and I had to let them go."

"...since when?" Keefe asked quietly.

"Since forever." Keefe couldn't hold it back anymore, he sprang from his seat and cradled your face, landing his lips on yours.

You gasped against his mouth, heart beating fast against your ribcage, too much that it hurts. And all that you feel at the moment, surged through Keefe, he felt everything you felt. And he had never felt a strong emotion as this his whole life as an empath.

You finally closed your eyes and moved your lips against his, and Keefe could feel his own heart thumping with immense speed. He hovered slightly above you as you pulled him closer by the neck. Your hand reached his locks and ran your fingers through them like you've wished to do for a long time. His breath hitched, sending a gust of warm air against your mouth.

Keefe travelled his hands from your jaw, to your back and waist. He traced his tongue through the seam of your lips and your mind clouded in all of your love for him. You pulled him impossibly closer, feeling his quick heartbeats against your own as you opened your mouth to him.

"I...love you." Your heart fluttered as he mumbled the words against your lips. "I love you since forever, (Y/n) (L/n)."

"Really?" You muttered in disbelief, eyes full of hope as your stared at his bright blue ones.

Keefe chuckled, pressing his forehead against yours. "Have I not proven you just now?"

"What about...Sophie?" Keefe frowned, hearing the heartbreak in your voice.

"I don't think I would ever feel anything to another elf, as I feel for you." Keefe softly said, eyes full of sincerity and honesty.

"Why didn't you tell me?" You asked gently.

"I'm sorry," he apologized and stared at his hands which held yours. "You're too perfect for me, (Y/n). I didn't think I deserved you."

"Keefe..." You cradled his jaw and he leaned against your touch. "You're all I've ever wanted. But I didn't think you felt the same as well. I saw the way you looked at Sophie, and I thought..."

Keefe chuckled. "I guess we've both been blind by our own feelings. But I'm serious, (Y/n). I would like to ask you...to be mine."

"And I would want to be yours." You smiled and closed your eyes as he leaned in.

The impact of his lips on yours always leaves your mind blank. When you're in his arms, you felt like everything's in place...like all the stars are lined. Keefe Sencen is the only one that could touch your soul.

"Oh my gosh!"

"Biana!"
