Okay, so I'ma give it a try. *channels my inner actor to play a SoKeefer*

So first of all, let's look at Sophie and Fitz's relationship. It started in Keeper, when Sophie saw Fitz in a museum. She had pretty much never had any guy talk to her except to be mean to her before. So cute guy talks to her in a not-mean way. Boom, instant crush. Later, they went on a fun little adventure to the Lost Cities, with Fitz carelessly just light-leaping her without a nexus. Seriously? And Fitz "offered" to push her into a whirlpool. Relationship goals right there, y'all. And they saw a fun scorpion thing, which Sophie was terrified of. What should you do in that situation? Duh, snicker and tease Sophie about being terrified of bugs. Anyways, Fitz was kinda like friendly towards Sophie but only really became close friends in Exile</font color=#21b03e>, when he apologized, just happening to coincide with when Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> got the ability to heal Alden's mind. Aw, haven't we just all wanted a guy who will yell at us and then apologize as soon as we gain the ability to help him? <font color=#c227d6>#love</font color=#c227d6>, y'all. And let's think of the book when he started being romantic towards Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster>, even though he didn't actually consciously like like her at this point. Everblaze, AKA when they started taking telepathy lessons and realized that Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> had the ability to teach his mind how to transmit long distances and to animals and that he was way more powerful with her. And then he started consciously liking her when they became cognates? Wow, so sweet that he liked her when she could make his abilities stronger! And then <font color=#32d0d9>Fitz</font color=#32d0d9> started acting extra nice and boyfriend-y after he felt like Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> was going to start feeling sympathetic to Alvar. Why is that, do you think? Maybe because he wanted an ally against Alvar</font color=#red>? Speaking of Alvar, let's not forget that when <font color=#32d0d9>Fitz</font color=#32d0d9> tried to murder his own brother, Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> ran out of the hive and into <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe's</font color=#6ecbfa> arms where HE WAS WAITING FOR HER. And the time when <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> got angry at Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster>, which all the <font color=#32d0d9> Sophitzers </font color=#32d0d9> seem to love referencing, he was AFFECTED BY MUSHROOMS WHICH MR FORKLE LITERALLY TOLD THEM MADE PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS STRONGER! (Side-note: Why do SoKeefers never reference the mushrooms when we bring Keefe's anger episode up?) So the one time <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> gets mad at Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster>, and his emotions were being controlled by fungi??? And speaking of emotion controlling, <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> is SO SWEET with him helping Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> handle her emotions. They're a great team. And he saves her parents. Remember at the end of <font color=#2741d6>Lodestar</font color=#2741d6>? Also, <font color=#2bf4ff>Nightfall</font color=#2bf4ff> "Until she was ready for more". <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> is saying that he'll be whatever Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> needs, without pressuring her, until she's ready for him. Whereas <font color=#32d0d9>Fitz</font color=#32d0d9> gives her a necklace the colour of HIS <font color=#32d0d9>eyes</font color=#32d0d9> which sits right over her collarbone, right where everyone can see it and is impossible to hide. And then gets all jealous when she doesn't sit next to him. And he gets jealous when she telepathically TALKS to <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa>. And when he gives her prattles pins. And when he helps her train with her skills. And literally at every <font color=#6ecbfa>SoKeefe</font color=#6ecbfa> moment ever. He can't just be happy, he has to have her. Anyone reminded of that scene from the Heart of Robin Hood where the evil <font color=#6ecbfa>Prince John</font color=#6ecbfa> is like "I HAVE to have her!" and he's just pursuing Marion and making her marry him? Yup, relationship goals with the creepy dude with anger issues. And <font color=#32d0d9>Fitz</font color=#32d0d9> essentially tells Sophie</div style=font-family:lobster> that he wants to marry her as his way of saying that he likes her. Yup, saying that the only person who you want to be on the list of people who you want to marry is someone is 100% un-creepy. Whereas <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> just lets <font color=#6ecbfa>SoKeefe</font color=#6ecbfa> happen naturally and doesn't force it and actually chooses presents himself rather than consulting with his sister. Also, HvH anyone? What possible reason would <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> have for smiling at Sophie's</div style=font-family:lobster> heart emotions? Maybe... TRUE LOVE? And if we think back to <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe's</font color=#6ecbfa> copy of The Heart of the Matter, he was totally opposed to the idea, until he discovered the power of love! I thought love was only true in fairy tales, Meant for someone else but not for me, Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer, Not a trace, of doubt in my mind, I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I triiiiiiied. And let's think about <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe's</font color=#6ecbfa> random choices he makes. Like when he chooses the colour to hide his memories. GOLD. SOPHIE'S</div style=font-family:lobster> EYES. And they're just so loving and friendly and trusting!!!! Like Forkle is like "Do you think <font color=#6ecbfa>Keefe</font color=#6ecbfa> has truly turned evil?" and Sophie's</div style=font-family:lobster> like "Nope, I subconsciously trust him". In short, throw that <font color=#46bec2>Sophitz</font color=#46bec2> in the <font color=#46bec2>Sophitz</font color=#46bec2>, y'all!
