FOR EGGSY

[lets_see_what_happens]

The cabin still technically belongs to Ivan, Miles, and Gregor, but neither of the other two spends much time there anymore.

Which is what makes Gregor so comfortable stretching out next to Eggsy like this, tucked into his narrow bunk side by side and very close, Gregor's arms looped lazily around Eggsy's waist. It's still a shock, occasionally, how relaxed he is in Eggsy's company--he still has a part to play for pretty much everyone else in his life, even Miles and Ivan, and at home means he's playing a part at all times until he's in complete solitude in his own chambers in the Imperial Residence, where no one can even intrude unannounced without giving him time to slip back into the role. But here... is different.

He can feel all the tension in him melting slowly the longer he lays here, every last one of his muscles loosening bit by bit until he feels both boneless and weightless all at once, only the warm solidity of Eggsy's body keeping him pressed to the mattress. He shifts his grip a little, touching just for the sake of touch, his palm sliding flat against Eggsy's side through the thin fabric of his shirt, fingers splaying parallel to his ribs.

"Comfortable?" he murmurs, tightening his grip briefly before he relaxes it again, just sinking back into the sheets. "This is nice."

Almost a year ago, Eggsy wouldn't have imagined that this is what he'd be doing on the ship right now. He certainly didn't think he'd have feelings for the man pressed to his side, for anyone really, but here is, so completely smitten that it's overwhelming for him sometimes. He's simultaneously head over heels and scared half to death.

But the longer they lay there, the less he worries about all the things that might happen or go wrong. He doesn't think about him or Gregor being pulled back through the Ingress. No, he lets his body go soft, shifts on the bed until he's laying more on top of Gregor than not, his arm thrown over his chest, head against his shoulder.

"Yeah, course. Are you, babe?"

Eggsy lifts his head a bit, looking just for the sake of looking. Taking in Gregor's dark hair and eyes, the cut of his jaw, the dip of his upper lip. He can feel a dopey smile curving his mouth but he doesn't do anything to stop it.

"Yes." Gregor heaves a slow sigh of contentment that seems to ease through his entire body. "Extremely. More than I would have thought possible."

His lips curve in the shadow of a smile and his eyes just barely slit open, glittering as they watch the grin spreading over Eggsy's face. His own face lights up and he huffs a soft laugh before he leans in to brush Eggsy's mouth with his, settling comfortably under him.

Eggsy's grin goes soft at the sound of Gregor's laugh, pressing into the kiss briefly. He curls himself around Gregor, as close as he can get, resting his cheek against his shoulder. A warm sense of contentment washes over Eggsy, easing him in a way that he hasn't known in his life.

"You're real handsome, yeah?"

Not that Eggsy doesn't say something along those lines all the time, but he means it all the same.

"I could say the same about you," Gregor murmurs into Eggsy's hair, shifting when Eggsy presses close and winding his arms tighter around warm, solid shoulders. He squeezes carefully before relaxing his grip again, nuzzling closer, his cheeks just faintly flushed.
