Chapter 425: We are doing a good thing
The next day rolled around. Kellen’s normal dinner plans with his Guides wasn’t allowed due to how overprotective Rhys was being, so he pushed it back to today.
Kellen had kicked up a stink to sleep in his own bed, and after Kellen threatened that he was going to sleep somewhere else besides the Medical Bay, whether or not it was his apartment or otherwise, Rhys relented.
That meant Kellen got to wake up in Rhys’ arms when the alarm rang in the morning for his gym session. He was looking forward to this. He hadn’t been neglecting his body, or his workouts, but it had been a month since he’d had a companion in Brent, so it was an exciting day.
Rhys grumbled when Kellen took his arm off of him and got ready to go to the gym. Feeling a bit sorry for the man, Kellen gave him a kiss before heading down, anticipation thrumming through his body.
When he got to the gym, Brent was already there. Kellen felt a huge smile split his face and noticed that Brent wasn’t able to contain his excitement either. The two men approached each other and this time Kellen was able to give him an actual hug instead of the one he’d given him the day before.
It was a warm welcome, Kellen lifting up the other man as he laughed.
"That excited to see me, huh? Rhys’ll get jealous." Brent teased and Kellen just laughed.
"He knows better. My heart practically beats for that man." Kellen told Brent without any remorse or embarrassment. Brent’s face went red at Kellen’s easy way of saying it.
"Wow. I feel like a lot has happened while I’ve been away. Anyway, shall we head in?" Brent suggested, waving with his prosthetic arm for them to enter the gym. The usual crowd was inside, but they all lit up when they saw Brent. They went around chatting to everyone, Brent getting some hugs and pats of welcome that had the man grinning.
