Chapter Text
Eggsy would never fall for a man that is old, blind in one eye, and way past his prime. Granted Harry still had perfect hair and was in great shape for his age, he still lacked in so much. He doesn’t need someone like Harry, he deserves so much more.
Harry sat like that with Eggsy for hours. He must have dozed off because the next thing he knew he heard the door creak open and Michelle creeping into the room. She was silent as she took in the sight of Eggsy wrapped in the arms of a man who ruined her life all those years ago. The man who has stolen her boy’s heart. Harry turned his head and made eye contact with her. She gave him a glare and then a smile broke across her face and she looked so different from the broken woman he left that day.
Harry let a smile play across his lips and she slipped out of the room and closed the door. Harry looked back towards the boy that he was cradling in his arms. He pressed a kiss onto Eggsy’s hair. He let out a sigh and figured it was time for him to go. As he was slowly shifting to get up off the bed Eggsy started moving. The head on his chest nuzzled closer and he heard a muffled voice.
“Eggsy, darling boy, you need to lift up and speak. Gentlemen do not mumble into other people.” He heard a beautiful laugh as Eggsy sat up and pulled away from Harry’s warmth. “I said don’t leave ‘Arry, this is the first time in months ‘ve rested for more than a few minutes at a time.” The boy looked so exhausted now that Harry was fully looking at him. “I’ll stay but only for tonight. I don’t think your mother is alright with a man older than your father would be sleeping over with her son.” With that being said he looked expectantly at the seemingly stunned young man.
“D’ya mean it Harry? Really? You’ll stay?” Harry simply nodded at Eggsy. “Now that we have this established, would you like to get food? I am rather starving since we have slept through the time I generally eat.” “I know this lovely little pub down the way yeah? I think ya will really like the food bruv.” Harry took a deep breath, “Do not call me bruv, I am Harry or Arthur. Now please show me this lovely little pub…” He didn’t look too enthused but that wasn’t going to deter his boy.
They made their way towards the pub when Eggsy tensed. Harry looked around and didn’t see anything he would consider a threat. Eggsy slowed and grabbed onto Harry’s arm. Harry looked down at his companion and stopped walking. Eggsy tilted his head and pushed up into Harry’s personal space. His large green eyes telling Harry to trust him and go with it. He nodded slightly and then he felt soft pink lips against his. He wrapped his arms around Eggsy and deepened the kiss.
After a moment Eggsy pulled back and was breathing heavy, Harry himself was trying to regain his composure. There was a throat cleared no too far away and both of the men turned to see a young man staring at them. Eggsy pulled Harry’s arm around his waist and looked sheepishly at the man. “Eggsy? Who is this? Where have you been? You’ve been missed around here. The lads don’t like to work the streets anymore; they say it’s no longer fun and easy. We need you back out here, instead of whatever it is you’re doing with this old john.” The man stepped forward and put his hand around Eggsy’s wrist. “Sir, whatever interactions you’ve had with this young man in the past will not continue. Now I suggest you take your hand away from him or I will be forced to take action.” Harry was getting aggravated, he just wanted to get some food and listen to his boy’s lovely laugh.
“Listen up, you motherfucker! This piece of ass belongs to me. He will be coming back to the house to reunite and reassure the kids that it’s okay to be fucking with the johns again. He needs to be punished and an example needs to be set. I can’t have all of those boys running off on me.” Harry was getting rather tired of this man, he was getting ready to do a very un-gentleman-like thing but he didn’t have to. By the time he made up his mind Eggsy had pulled away from him and decked the man in the face.
“Now, Harry, let’s continue to the pub I was tellin’ ya about yeah?” Eggsy looked shaken so Harry did what he thought would help the best, he wrapped his arm back around Eggsy’s waist. Harry kept his eyes straight and saw Eggsy out of the corner of his eye, let out a breath he must have been holding. Eggsy led them to festive little pub that seemed alright to Harry. Eggsy ordered for both of them. Harry was honestly delighted to eat the food that was brought to them. He also thought it was rather cute that Eggsy didn’t eat like a gentlemen unless he was on duty with Kingsman.
They sat there for probably two hours or more chatting about simple things and it was easy for Harry to pretend they were on a date and it was made more realistic when Eggsy paid the bill. He knew it was wishful thinking but he couldn’t help it. He oh so wished that Eggsy could be his. On the walk home Eggsy looked shyly at Harry and shuffled closer to him. Harry went ahead and wrapped his arm around Eggsy once more and he could tell that helped him. He melted into it. They slowly made their way back to Eggsy’s home and Harry could tell he was still exhausted so they went back up to his room and got ready for bed.
