The third day after everyone had left for the front lines wasn't as hard as the first day. Kellen planned to keep the rotation that he had for the first class, focusing on Charlie and his newly awakened determination to become the best. His second class came back the second day as if they had the keys to the palace and overwhelmed him with questions.
It was good, and a nice way to keep his mind focused.
Rhys was also a good distraction, and Kellen had enjoyed their cuddling time on the couch once both of them had gotten home the past two days. Rhys was comforting him, not forcing Kellen into anything more intimate than a few kisses here and there.
Kellen was the one who was making things more intimate, and he could tell how much Rhys liked that. Touches over clothes, grabbing him just to hear that little hitch in Rhys' voice. Kellen was sure a new side of him had awakened, and it was probably to Rhys' detriment.
