Chapter 172: A secret for five
"A-Anyways, how is the gate, Hill?" Brent slapped his hand down on the table in between them, his eyes flashing.
"Oh no you don’t! Kellen! You’re in love with the Captain?" He asked, and Kellen knew his whole face went red. He raised his hands to cover his face, but knew he couldn’t hide it. He finally nodded and Hill let out a squeal.
"Oh thank the gods! I was so worried he wasn’t going to be able to woo you." She said, and Brent sat back with a snort.
"I had complete confidence that he would snag him. Kellen’s always had a weak spot for him." Kellen wanted the ground to swallow him up, while Hill gave Brent a confused look.
"What do you mean? Kellen and Captain Thatcher haven’t been-" Brent’s look shut her up. Hill’s eyes widened, staring at how red Kellen was, before she covered her mouth. "Kellen Woods! You liked the Captain?" Kellen groaned.
"My question is, how long have you liked Captain Thatcher? Hmm? Cause I remember when I finally got you to answer who you found attractive you basically described the Captain." Kellen wondered if his face was ever going to go back to a normal colour. The two of them leaned forward, eager to hear his response.
"I...It’s been a long time." Kellen muttered, and Hill let out a squeal. Her grip on Kellen tightened again.
"Oh my god. How long are we talking? The whole time you were on the front lines?" Kellen wasn’t able to control his expression well, and Brent laughed in the face of his discomfort.
"I don’t want to answer that. You’re going to judge me." He admitted softly, and Brent reached out, gripping onto Kellen’s other arm.
