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.

(BL) Hunting The Field Guide

"Kellen, why are you eating standing up?" Kellen jerked, Charlie's innocent question catching him off-guard.

Kellen wasn't in his office today, and instead was in Casper's office in between classes as they went over in person what Kellen had done while he had been gone. It was also an excuse to check up on the guide after he had gone out with Brent, Gwen, and apparently Hill.

He should have checked up on him yesterday, but Kellen had some other…things on his mind. He could feel his face heating even thinking about it. But Casper, despite the rumours that he had been in an awful condition the previous day, was doing much better today.

He still looked a little extra pale, but his clothes were in perfect order, his hair was only minorly spiked, and his glasses were clean and he looked groomed. The lights in the office were still dimmed, so Kellen knew that he wasn't exactly in full working order, but he was doing his best.

I don't like to lie, but sometimes it's the only option
