What about Fitz hanging around when Sophie was trying to update Keefe on his shattered memory? Things involving his mother are extremely important to Keefe, which Fitz knows, yet his main priority was making sure his best friend knew that he and Sophie had confessed. It was pretty possessive the way he was "marking" Sophie, imo. Fitz deliberately made the moment awkward for both Sophie and Keefe before Keefe was to received potentially emotional news.

Or when Fitz made Sophie feel bad (when Sophie is already incredibly insecure) for not sitting next to him... because she was sitting with their other friends. A precursor to abusive relationships is when one partner doesn't let the other be around their friends/family. Of course, I'm not claiming Fitz is or will ever be abusive, but the behavior displayed of not wanting Sophie to be with anyone else is definitely proprietorial.

Not to mention both of these display further trust issues--Fitz doesn't trust Sophie and Keefe's intentions, and he seemingly doesn't trust Sophie to pick who she sits beside. Keefe, on the other hand, trusts Sophie so much that he is willing to let Sophitz happen (he lets Fitz win at one thing... for now), fulfilling the relationship that Sophie has always dreamed of having.
