(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: An angry little sister

"W-Why would I ever do that?" Kellen stuttered, and the Captain grinned at him. He shrugged, his eyes warm and yellow, and Kellen had to look away from his face.

The elevator opened, and the two of them headed down the hallway that connected the two sets of elevators. Kellen was distracted by his own thoughts, so he jumped nearly a foot when someone slammed on the glass window beside them.

Turning, Kellen was met with the hard expression of his sister. She had her face pressed against the glass, and it was clear she had been looking for him. Even Gunther, who seemed exasperated by her display, wasn’t chastising her. She pointed towards the door, and Kellen winced.

Swallowing, Kellen turned and without glancing at the Captain, headed for the door. Out of pettiness, Gwen didn’t even open the door, just stood next to it with her arms crossed.

Thankfully, the Captain already had his keycard out before Kellen had to try to fumble with his own. His arm reached past Kellen and touched the keypad. Kellen tossed a grateful look back at him, and the Captain smiled.

Opening the door, Kellen wasn’t sure what to expect from his younger sister. After all, this whole situation was something she had predicted, and warned him about. But that didn’t mean she was happy about it.

Gwen reached out, planting her hand on his shoulder. Her grip tightened and Kellen did his best not to wince.

"You are a fucking mother fucker for not calling me as soon as the video broke." She growled, and Kellen winced. He sighed, placing his hand on top of hers but she yanked it away, as if his touch burned. He frowned, staring at the ground.

"I found out just before the end of the day. Then, I was busy doing damage control. I didn’t even message Mom and Dad." She scoffed. Kellen looked up and she had her arms crossed again, her eyes hard. They were also glowing purple.

"Oh I know. I had to hear alllll about it last night." Kellen felt awful. He knew how bad their lectures could get. "Are you a fucking idiot? On video? Do you even have a brain? Never record your crimes!" Her voice was loud in the quiet room and Kellen sighed.

"In court it would not stand a chance. I was clearly in the right." She rolled her eyes at her dumb brother’s words.

"For the first half, maybe. But breaking someone’s arm! On camera? Kellen, Mom raised you better." She sighed, a piece of her soul in the sound. "Why do you always have to do the most extra shit ever! It’s always you! I never get to have any fucking fun!" Stunned, Kellen stared at her.

You wanted to go in and break a bunch of rogue Guide’s bones? Gwen, I hate to tell you, but that’s a hate crime coming from an Esper. That carries a very serious sentence." Gwen narrowed her eyes at her older brother, before she dismissively waved a hand.

"I wouldn’t get caught like you, and the satisfaction would be worth it. Were they really not even guiding in that situation?" She asked, and Kellen felt his anger surge inside of him. Gwen’s eyes went wide. She blinked, and unfolded her arms to reach for Kellen’s face, turning it to each side. "Kellen, your eyes are glowing sky blue. Holy shit. I didn’t know that happened when you felt strong emotions." The Captain reached for Kellen’s shoulder and turned him, pulling him out of Gwen’s grip. He stared at his face, his eyes going wide.

"That’s hot as well." He told him, and Kellen wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be an inside thought or not.

"No, that’s a problem! You need to keep that under wraps, Kellen. Others will think you’re a monster if you start flaunting that. It’s kinda known that A Class Guides have glowing eyes, but no one but Espers have seen that." She was clearly concerned, and trying to look out for her older brother. Kellen, however, found it very fitting.

Kellen turned to the Captain who was already starting at the Guide.
