Chapter 85: A Guide’s gentle touch

Chapter 85: A Guide’s gentle touchBrent stood in silence, the laptop bag slung over his shoulder as he stared at the elevator doors. His foot tapping was getting on Kellen’s nerves, but he couldn’t blame the man. Anyone would react that way once they found out that the newest gate on the front lines was only the second of its kind, and the first one exploded.

Honestly, Kellen found that Brent was taking everything in stride, and Kellen was grateful for it. If he had freaked out in the same way that the re

"Uh, well, she just wanted to go over our results for our first week of monitored guiding." Sakura whistled.

"You let someone else watch? I didn’t expect that from you. By the way, hi Kellen!" She gave a gigantic wave with a gigantic smile as Kellen’s cheeks turned red.

"Only basic guiding, Sakura. Get your head out of the gutter." She grinned, unrepentant as even Captain Sergei chuckled. A gentle touch from the Captain’s fingers on Kellen’s chin had Kellen turning his attention back to him.

"Well? What did she say about it? Are you on the right track?" He prompted and Kellen took a moment to think. He had a feeling the Captain wouldn’t understand how crazy it was that the most intimate guiding the two of them could do cost so much, and this also didn’t seem like the time nor the place to expose it. He nodded.

"Yes, she thinks so. If we keep going in and doing our sessions the way we are, we should be good. I’ll need to increase my calorie intake a little, but I should be okay." The Captain frowned.

"But you’re already eating so much." He muttered, looking over Kellen’s body. A warmth spread through Kellen’s body at his quick, but thorough glance.

"Y-You don’t seem to complain most days." Kellen murmured, his mouth running away from him. The Captain’s gaze brightened, before darkening into a golden shade.

"Oh? You noticed, Kellen? But chose now to say something about it? I had no idea you wanted to flirt with me in front of so many. You usually hate it when we have an audience." The Captain’s arm wrapped around Kellen’s waist, pulling the other man closer. Kellen could feel his face turning bright red as the Esper chuckled, bringing their faces closer together.

"No, no! You are not allowed to shamelessly flirt in front of two single people! It’s very rude!" Sakura’s loud voice filled up the room, coming to Kellen’s rescue before he gave into the Captain’s demands for a kiss. Kellen could feel his heart racing in his chest as the Captain turned his face away from him, grinning at the screens. He didn’t release his hold on Kellen though, pulling the man closer to his side, his grip tight. Kellen would have said something about it if he hadn’t caught a particular look in the Captain’s gaze. He wasn’t sure what it was...but for some reason, it made Kellen believe that the Captain had no plans to let him go. At least, not right now.
