Chapter 221: An S Class is always an S Class
The next morning felt more normal than Kellen felt it had any right to.
He didn’t go to the gym, but he woke up in the Captain’s arms as if it was the most normal thing to do. With the Captain’s help, he made breakfast, got dressed in his Guild uniform, and after they were both dressed, teeth brushed, and primped to proper Guild standards, they left Kellen’s apartment.
It was...odd how easily it had happened. Like it was always meant to be this way. Kellen wasn’t sure if that was the case, but it made Rhys smile.
It was hard to get Rhys to smile all morning. He kept watching Kellen limp around the kitchen or the closet with a pained expression on his face. Kellen thought it was ridiculous. Yes, he had been hurt, but he was still able to move. That was all he could ask for.
His Dad was alive, and so was everyone else he cared about. An injury like this? Nothing. Especially since they were going to get the motherfuckers who did this.
Kellen was messaging Casper to get a morning debrief as they headed down the first elevator. He was, of course, in the Captain’s arms since the man refused to let him stand or walk for too long. Kellen knew he was being overprotective, but it did hurt, so he was going to let him do it until Taylor told him otherwise.
Which hopefully, was going to be soon. Since they were both headed for the Medical Bay. Kellen had two missions there. Make sure that his Mom ate breakfast, and check on his and his Dad’s conditions. Technically that was three, but Kellen roped in the two injuries since they happened so close together.
At least in his mind. It didn’t matter what others thought.
"How is the team holding up?" Kellen asked the Captain as the doors opened to the A Class gym floor. When the Captain didn’t speak right away, Kellen glanced up from his phone to stare at the man who wasn’t making eye contact with him. "Please tell me you didn’t hurt some of the team members while you were upset." Kellen said, and Rhys chuckled. A slightly bitter smile crossed his expression.
