Chapter Text
Eggsy had just arrived at the entrances to the HQ for the 6th time. He was in the morning run with the other five remaining recruits.
He was just about to run on, when Merlin came up to him and held him by the arm. "Wait a second Eggsy." Eggsy nodded in confusion and gave Roxy a helpless look. She just nodded encouragingly and kept walking. "Has something happened? Is it about Harry?!" he asked, almost panicked. "Yeah lad. Something happened! Yeah, it's about Harry! But nothing negative, don't worry. I think you want to pay a visit to the old Alpha." Eggsy looked cheerfully at Merlin. "Is he awake? !!" he asked, calming himself not to jump at his throat, since he has to pull all the information out of his neck. "You're dismissed until lunch, boy. Please don't wreck expensive or valuable equipment ok? I'll take the money to replace it out of Galahad's purse!" Eggsy grinned vigorously and ran up the steps to the villa, taking two steps at once.
The employees smiled as Eggsy ran past them. JB, who did grow a little and actually gained enough stamina to complete 15 laps around HQ in a row, kept pace without any problems. Apparently he realized that his two-legged friend was very happy after a long time and was on the way to the source. He didn't want to slow him down. They stopped at the door to the room where they spent a lot of time. Eggsy stopped, straightened his uniform and hairstyle, before bursting breathlessly into the room.
In the room, Eggsy saw a man in a crimson dressing gown, slippers and a finally perfect haircut, who was helping himself to cologne. His beard, which had grown while he was asleep, had been shaved and his hair was cut perfectly to the last detail. In the mirror, the man realized he had a visitor and turned around with his hands in the pockets of the dressing gown.
Both men looked into each other's eyes without emotion. Then, to break the silence, the man spoke: "Ever heard of knockin?" Tears formed in Eggsy's eyes. "Only when I'm casing a place to rob." Eggsy said in an emotionless tone to answer his mentor. To cover up the fact that he had just run through half of HQ with JB to get to this room, Eggsy said: "Merlin said you wanted to see me." JB let out a happy bark and every pair of eyes were on him. "I hope JB’s training is going as well as yours is." the man asked, the awkwardness continuing. Eggsy said to JB: "Sit." And JB followed his instructions and even brought out a kind of smile. The man looked at Eggsy again. "Congratulations on making it to the final six candidates. Your test results were even better than I could've hoped.", He said, breathing in, immediately holding his breath and biting his lip. You could see that he wanted to jump into Eggsy.
Eggsy looked up and both men looked into each other's eyes. "I missed you Harry ..." he said then. Harry swallowed and then begins to say, "Eggsy, I'm so sorry! The job shouldn't have lasted more than an hour. I didn't expect ... I ... I wasn't going to do anything like that ... I- "
Eggsy threw himself into Harry's arms, causing him to stumble backwards and take a seat on his bed. Eggsy clung to his Alpha and never wanted to let go. He buried his face on Harry's throat and inhaled his smell. A warm feeling spread through him. His eyes were wet and he started to sob quietly. If Harry had been hesitant up to that point, he would finally let his facade down.
He grabbed Eggsy with all his strength and hugged him. He placed his cheek on Eggsy's head, his left arm on Eggsy's back and his right hand on his head to push him even closer. His omega was in distress. He couldn't just smell that on his pheromones. He had to protect him, hold him, make him happy. That was also his biology that spoke there, but also his own will. Eggsy's sobs grew louder but Harry noticed that they were delighted and not from the pain of long separation.
"Harry I missed you so much! I thought you were dead! I almost gave up hope! I can't do it without you! Please never leave again! Never leave me alone! I can't ..." Harry kissed Eggsy lovingly on his head. "I'll do my best, darling boy ..." Both of them held their arms around the other like vices and didn't want to let go. "I'm here Eggsy! Don't be upset! I'm here now!"
Both remained in the embrace for a long time. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Harry pulled Eggsy's head from his neck and smiled at Eggsy before placing his forehead on top of his Omega. "Sea? That's what people call knocking," said Harry, shouting "come in." Eggsy wanted to slide off Harry's lap so he wouldn't embarrass himself in front of a superior, but Harry held him in place and said and said in a soft voice, "stay." It was not an order, although Harry could certainly have done so. It was a request, and yet Eggsy felt the urge to comply. So he stayed where he was and buried his face again in the hollow between Harry's shoulder and neck.
Merlin enters the room and spotted the couple wrapped around each other. The corners of his mouth rose briefly and he smiled. but then he fell back into a rigid expression. Actually, he hadn't wanted to separate the couple so quickly, but debriefing had to be. "Oh ... Eggsy, I need to have a private conversation. You're dismissed." Said Merlin, gesturing for Eggsy, who looked at him in alarm, to go with his clipboard. Eggsy nodded weakly and was about to get up grumpy and obey the order, but Harry held onto him again.
"Nonsense. Let him observe. Might learn a thing or two." Harry said, turning Eggsy into a position where he was still sitting on his lap but had a good look at the monitor Merlin would use to debrief . He wrapped his arms around Eggsy's abdomen. He put a hand over Eggsy's heart so that he could feel the soothing steady beats while Eggsy felt his own on his back as he was still pressed tight against Harry.
"As you wish. Take a look at this." Merlin said, tapping a video file that was stored on his clipboard, now that he had access to Harry's feed. He shows them the footage taken from Harry’s glasses as he was grabbing hold of Arnold and his head exploded. "Oh, for God's sake, I've barely touched you. Oh, man up!", Precoma- Harry said annoyed. "Fucking hell! That is rank, Harry. You blew up his head? It's a bit much, innit?" Said Eggsy, dismayed. Harry tightened his grip slightly, gave Eggsy another light kiss on the head and said, "No Eggsy. I didn't let his head explode. I needed information from him. What good would it do to destroy my only clue?" "But what triggered the explosion then?" Eggsy asked very confused. "Actually, the explosion was caused by an implant in his neck. Here, under the scar."
"Did my hardware pick up the signal that triggered it?" Harry asked Merlin, hoping to get a new clue. "Fortunately, yes. Unfortunately, the IP address I traced it to is registered to the Valentine Corporation.", Said Merlin, accessing Richmond Valentine's profile, who was the company's CEO. Harry shook his head again, rested his chin on Eggsy's head and closed his eyes. Although he was over the mountain, he was still recovering. "That's not much of a lead. He has millions of employees worldwide." Merlin opened his mouth to say something, but Eggsy sparked in between: "That Richmond Valentine is a genius." Both Harry and Merlin look at Eggsy.
"Did you not see his announcement today?" Eggsy asked, looking first at Merlin, at Harry by lifting his head, turning and subtly placing his ear on Harry's heart. "No." said Merlin, confused. Before Harry could do anything, Eggsy got up, grabbed Merlin's tablet, and sat down on Harry's lap again. Eggsy takes He keys in the information to bring up the footage of Valentine's’s latest announcement. The screen now showed a recording of Valentines anouncement. "We each spend on average $ 2,000 a year on cell phone and Internet usage. It gives me great pleasure to announce those days are over. As of tomorrow, every man, woman and child can claim a free SIM card, compatible with any cell phone , any computer, and utilize my communications network for free. Free calls, free Internet for everyone. Forever. ", explained Video-Valentine. Merlin takes the tablet from Eggsy after which Harry takes it from Merlin and closes up on Valentine's assistant who has the implant scar on her neck.
"Valentine's assistant has the same implant scar. I think Mr. Valentine and I should have a tête-à-tête.", Harry decided and immediately he noticed how Eggsy tensed. "He's having a gala dinner next week. I'll get you an invitation. You need to be careful, though. Since you've been out, hundreds of VIPs have gone missing. No ransom notes, exactly like Professor Arnold.", warned Merlin. "Then I suggest you make my alias somebody worth kidnapping.", Harry decided and Eggsy tensed even more and literally grabbed Harry's dressing gown. "Then I'll leave you alone ... Eggsy at 1600 hours, I'm waiting for you in a halo suit in the hangar," said Merlin, smiling. He disappeared.
Harry put his hands on Eggsy's shoulders and started massaging the tense muscles. "Everything will be fine Eggsy. I'll be extra careful and I'll be back faster than you think." Eggsy looked down. "You had that last time before Harry ..." Harry turned Eggsy over again so that they were sitting chest to chest again. He wrapped his arms around his Omega, held him in place, and tried to calm him down with his soothing alpha pheromones. "Everything will be fine Eggsy! Besides, I won't jump up and talk to Valentine right away. I'm still healing." Eggsy nodded weakly.
Harry lay back on the bed and pulled Eggsy with him. He covered them both with the white duvet and held Eggsy to his chest. "Sleep Eggsy. Someone will wake us up in an hour at the latest to check me through and you'll still have enough time to prepare for your next task." Eggsy nodded sleepily and snuggled closer to the Alpha.
'Everything would be fine! Everything would be fine! It just has to be that way! ', Eggsy decided uncertainly in his thoughts and fell asleep to the steady beating of Harry's heart in his ear.
