Some of the members on keeper.com may be lovers of Sofitz or Fitzphie, and I respect those opinions. I once was like you. However, I was convinced by my friends and a Pinterest post to realize that I love Sokeefe, and here's why:
Fitz only started liking Sophie when the Keeper gang was in Alluvetere.
Probably wondering why this is significant? Well, when they were in Alluvetere, Keefe was more public about his crush on Sophie. Fitz knew Sophie had a crush on him, and that was some form of validation to him. Also, he was probably jealous of her dynamic with Keefe, and he knew a big part of that was because she deep down liked Keefe and Keefe loves her with all his heart, so he wanted to replicate that.
2. When Sophie is unmatchable, Keefe doesn't care, but Fitz is really angered by it.
When Sophie tells Fitz she's unmatchable, he cares a lot and is determined to help her find her parents. Keefe however, tells her that "anyone who truly loves you won't care if your unmatchable or not." She then asks him if he cares and he says he doesn't. Fitz however, likes Sophie, but he cares too much about his status to marry and unmatchable woman. When Keefe asks him 'if Sophie didn't want to find her biological parents, would you still be with her?' Fitz then responds with "why wouldn't she want to find her parents?" avoiding the answer to the question.
3. Fitz literally breaks up with Sophie because she doesn't want to tell him who her biological parents are.
If this isn't the big one, I don't know what is. When Sophie *spoiler* finds out that Councilor Oralie is her mother, she cannot tell anyone, or Oralie will most likely be sent to Exile. Fitz continues to pester her, despite her saying that she can never, ever tell him. He asks her if she could just tell the people at the matchmaking office so she could get her match list, to which she replies, no. Fitz breaks up with her because he is scared of what people will think about him.
4. Mr. Forkle remarks that "Ms. Foster will understand Mr. Sencen in a way we never can"
what the Forklenator means here, is that Sophie knows Keefe. She knows how he uses humor to create a confident façade, despite the fact that he is a lonely, frightened young man. Only Sophie knows this about him. She also knows how he just really wants to be loved, and she tries to act as a sister to him, but he clearly has a crush on her.
5. Keefe says that 'I never knew I needed a lot of things before I met you."
When Sophie and Keefe are talking at one point in the books, Keefe says that he never knew he needed a lot of things before he knew Sophie. He is basically implying that Sophie is the only person who makes him feel the way he wants to feel: loved and cared for. Sophie cares about him in a sisterly fashion, and he loves her a lot. When Keefe is sucked up into the weird womb thing in Legacy, it's Sophie who takes him to the hospital, and Sophie who ensures he's safe.
Asha this is Amazing!!!!
