Chapter 18 – Gunner

Raw fury replaced brains in Gunner’s head as he ran up the stairs. He’d done nothing wrong. As a young man, Caspian had every right to question the direction he wanted to take his life in. So maybe his time at university cost a lot of money, but if Caspian didn’t want to go back to his body and take over, then Gunner needed to act before he messed something up in Thomas’s company.

He’d been afraid to broach the topic, but when both of Caspian’s parents praised his skill at the piano, he blurted out that he’d rather make music and teach for a living. And that was when all hell broke loose.

How the hell was he to pursue a career in accounting? All the relevant knowledge and manners were Caspian’s, not his. After Caspian had left in the morning, he’d experimented with some math challenges on his phone to check if the new brain would do the work for him the same way it helped him play the piano.

No such luck.

How was he to navigate this? Not only was he not particularly good at math but also didn’t know the tax laws. He didn’t even know how to act at the fancy party he was supposed to attend in two weeks.

He opened the door to his room and barely held back a scream when his gaze zeroed in on a tall figure leaning against the window. But when the intruder didn’t charge at him and instead made a slow turn, moonlight caught the skull outline on his face.

It was Caspian.

Without thinking, Gunner locked the door, rushed across the room and hugged him, hiding his face between the firm pecs. Caspian smelled faintly of smoke, but despite the distress raging inside Gunner, the familiar scent didn’t awaken the need to ask for a cigarette.

For a moment, Caspian remained stiff, but before Gunner could have questioned him, thick arms settled around him like an impenetrable ring of safety.

“What was that about? Why are you yelling at them?” Caspian asked.

“I… I just…” Gunner rubbed his cheek against Caspian’s T-shirt as he fought through the tightness in his throat. “I suggested I might want to develop the piano thing,” he mumbled. “They sent you to the lessons. Shouldn’t they be happy for me?”

Caspian’s shoulders slumped. “Yes, but they’re your parents now, so don’t raise your voice at them. Put yourself in their shoes. I’ve been excited to start working with Dad, and I told them that many times. It’s a good job. Good money. Then, all of a sudden their son starts acting like a different person, so cut them some slack.”

Gunner stepped away with guilt chewing at his insides. “I don’t know how. My dad was a mean son of a bitch, and we always yelled at each other. And they’re just… just so nice. I don’t know how they manage to keep their cool like that.”

Caspian bit his lip, watching him without a word. His mouth went slack, and he frowned but no longer seemed angry.
