(BL) Hunting The Field Guide

Kellen Woods grew up never knowing a normal world. By the time he could walk, his mother and father had already sealed several serious gates that threatened the safety of his hometown. By the time his sister was born, they were famous worldwide. So the world held their breath for when Kellen and his sister came of age, waiting to see what kind of power they would awaken. His sister was just like his mom, same power, same class, while Kellen, woke up one day to find out what it meant to be special in a family the world watched. But in the worst way. Awakening weaker then your powerful parents wasn’t unheard of, but when your younger sister awakened at the same class as your parent, anyone would feel inferior. And Kellen, never one to ask for hand outs, left the comfort and safety of his hometown to become better than the weak brat everyone thought he was. Kellen went to the front lines, to where the gates normally broke out. From there, Kellen worked hard, and then worked some more until no one could doubt that he was good at his job. He got so good that even with his lower class, people would still hire him to help. But Kellen never took it to heart. He had learned a valuable lesson on the front lines. Classification only meant shit if you walked back out of the gate. Otherwise, shut your mouth and listen to those with more experience. They determined who made it out alive or not. But Kellen was tired now. He had gotten everything out of his system, and the fast paced life on the front lines didn’t suit him anymore. Now, he wanted to go home, buy a house, maybe find a nice man to settle down with, and live a normal life. All the while, the yellow eyes he’d met on the front lines haunted him, no matter how much he tried to forget about them. Especially since the Esper they were attached to refused to let him go.

Lured in with soft touches and warm food

The few hours that Kellen spent at the counter working away on the files he now had in his possession felt like they passed in minutes. 

Part of the reason was the smiling, happy man beside him. Ever since he had sat down and got ready to work, the Captain had been extremely helpful and attentive. He got Kellen water, tea, honestly anything he needed. 

As soon as food arrived, the Captain fed him so that Kellen could continue to work uninterrupted. When Kellen asked him why, he told him it was because he felt guilty for the fact that he was doing work outside of what he was hired to do. 

Kellen was pretty sure that was only part of the reason. The other? The man didn't keep his hands to himself. All the time he was helping Kellen he kept a firm, but constant touch on him. He had to make sure some part of him was touching Kellen, always making skin contact of some kind.
