---------------------------------------------

Eggsy looked at himself in the mirror and sighed softly. It had been two weeks since things went wrong between him and Dave. Two weeks without a word, a call, or even a single message from the man. He knew he had to talk to him soon…

Today.

He reconsidered it for a moment before calling in at the HQ, needing a day off. His head was spinning.

Dave really did hurt Eggsy with his decision. But he also knew where this sudden outburst was coming from, how he was trying to protect him. He knew David meant well, probably feeling like a burden. But Eggsy wasn’t ready to give up on them, not after everything they’ve been through together. So he’d try to talk to him, calmly and willing to understand. Today was the day the silence was broken….

David was upstairs in his home, closing the buttons of his shirt, when he heard someone entering downstairs. He frowned softly and grabbed his gun from his bedside table, carefully walking downstairs. Checking the front door, he realized it was locked and stood still for a moment. Was he hearing things?

He rolled his eyes at himself and stepped towards the kitchen, gun raised and ready. But as he crossed the threshold, he recognized the intruder immediately. “Oh for fucks sake!” he lowered his gun. “You can’t just come in here without a warning!”

Eggsy raised his eyebrows, leaning against the counter. “I have a key?” David put his gun down on the counter, ignoring his comment. “So…”

“What are you doing here?” David asked and glanced at his watch. He had to leave for work soon.

“I wanna talk,” he said. “Right now. Not later, not tomorrow.”

Dave bit back a sigh and nodded. “Give me a moment.” He went back upstairs and got his suit jacket and badge. It wasn’t long before he was back in Eggsy’s presence, finishing getting himself ready for the day.

Eggsy’s eyes wandered over him as he closed the buttons of his blue suit, looking handsome as always.

"So? I have to be at work soon. And shouldn't you be out saving the world somewhere?" he asked curtly, grabbing his badge.

Eggsy snorted softly. "First of all, I can't save the world if I’m worrying about you." he said and saw David's face fell a little. "And I talked to Kim. You have the day off." Eggsy crossed his arms over his chest.

"You can't just cancel my work. There are people who need me and-." he protested.

"Yes, I can. Because I need you right now. We have something to talk about." he spoke gently, but David could see he wouldn't take 'No' for an answer.

"Alright." he nodded gently, putting his badge and gun away.

"Okay." he exhaled softly. "Let's go for a walk? I could use some fresh air."

David nodded and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Let's go then."

It was warm outside, sun was shining a little even though some clouds were covering the sky. It would probably rain later. The two had been walking at a slow pace, side by side, in an odd silence. Eggsy glanced over at David for what seemed like the 100th time, and gathered the courage to start the conversation. "Why did you do it?"

"Do what?" David asked, looking over at him.

"Push me away." Eggsy said gently.

"I'm…" Dave clenched his jaw and stared into the distance, continuing to walk. He knew the answer, but he also knew that wasn't a good enough reason for Eggsy. He wanted to protect him and get him away from these dangerous circumstances and odd phases he would have from time to time.

Eggsy noticed his silence and proposed an idea to get it moving a bit more. "How's about getting some breakfast first? I'm starving."

"Sounds good." David nodded and followed him into a cafe nearby. He got them a table in the corner of the room for some privacy and sat down.

Eggsy ordered them some scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a nice warm bagel. "I hope that's alright."

"Thank you." he nodded. The smell made his mouth water and they started eating instantly.

After a few minutes, Eggsy spoke again. "Listen Dave, I'm not mad or anything. I just wanna talk about what happened and figure this out. That's alright?" he asked gently and David nodded slowly.

"About that night… I'm sorry for snapping at you," he said and looked at him, apologetically.

"Did you ever love me? Or was I just someone to help pass the time?" he asked bluntly. David's eyes widened a little.

"Of course I love you." he protested. "Eggsy I…I didn't say what I said because I stopped loving you."

He nodded, feeling relieved. "You broke my heart, you know," he said quietly and stared at his plate, tears brimming his eyes. "Saying you don't believe in me loving you," he added in a low tone.

David bit his lip thinking back. That really hadn't been fair. "I'm -."

Eggsy cut him off. "So I went back to my place, thinking about it. Thinking about what I did or didn't do to make you feel this way." he raised his eyebrows at him. "Because you get pretty honest when you're emotional."

David put down his fork and shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe you or in your love," he said and looked at him, hoping he'd believe him. "It's just… that I don't want to. Because I'm… Because I don't deserve it." he said quietly, throat tightening a little.

Eggsy carefully took his hand and David let him. "Yes, you do, David. You deserve every tiny bit of love I have for you." he scanned him over for a moment. But he could tell he wasn’t convinced. "Let's finish eating and talk outside, okay?" he asked and Dave nodded, Eggsy squeezed his hand softly.

They continued walking through town, quiet at first, both caught up in their thoughts. Eggsy replayed that night over and over again in his head, thinking about how hurt he was and how he just wanted them to be okay again.

David knew he wasn't in the right space to do him any good at the moment. But how could he protect Eggsy's pure heart if not even that evening could convince him to stay away for good?

Suddenly, a loud bang made both men flinch and get out of their thoughts. Before Eggsy could react, David already guarded him with his own body. Eggsy realized what the noise had been and looked up at him, gently cupping his face. "Dave, breathe," he spoke softly, feeling him shaking. "It was just a balloon, we're safe."

David exhaled and the shock slowly lessened. "I'm sorry," he said quietly and bit his lip.

"It's okay, we're okay," he said and rubbed his side. And before he knew what he was doing, Eggsy pulled him into a hug and David buried his face in his shoulder. He held him close and gently fondled over his hair. "Breathe, love. Nice and easy." he encouraged him softly.

Dave held onto Eggsy for a moment, the familiar touches calming him a little. "I'm sorry, I thought it was -." he sighed.

"I know, it's alright." Eggsy assured him. He squeezed him softly and pulled back. "Let's go?" he asked, offering him his hand.

David nodded and took it, following his lead into a park. They sat down at a bench, still holding hands. The simple touch grounding them both.

"Eggsy, I gotta be honest with you." he started and glanced at him shortly. "I love you. I really do and you mean so much to me...But I - I don't think I can handle a relationship right now." he spoke as his eyes brimmed with tears. "And I know you deserve so much better than this, but I just can't right now."

"I know." he said quietly and nodded, tears in his own eyes. "I'll always be there for you and...you take all the time you need, okay?" he put on a brave smile, but a tear fell down his cheek. "But promise me one thing, David. Take care of yourself…and let me check up on you from time to time."

He nodded and bit his lip, holding back tears. "Okay." Their eyes met for a moment and David pulled him onto his lap, hugging him tightly.

Eggsy rested his head against his shoulder and held him close. Physically, it felt comfortable, but his mind was still wandering. "We'll be okay, right? This isn't the end for us?" he asked quietly.

"This isn't the end." he shook his head and rubbed his back. "We'll be okay one day"

They stayed there for a while, just holding each other. Neither of them wanted this, but knew it was best to be apart for the time being.

"I'll always love you. Okay?" Dave asked softly.

"I'll always love you too." Eggsy nodded, giving him a gentle squeeze.

Two months later...

Things had been okay since their conversation that day. David went back to therapy and saw Eggsy a few times a week. They were still close, just not a couple at the moment. Both of them felt comfortable with it, getting closer and understanding one another better as friends.

But one day, Dave got a call from Roxy, telling him something went wrong on Eggsy's mission and he was on his way back to London. He had been shot several times and lost a lot of blood. There was a possibility he wouldn't make it.

David was at Kingsman's headquarters in no time, meeting Roxy who led him through the compound. They waited there for Eggsy to arrive and once he saw him, his stomach turned. He was covered in blood, pale and barely breathing.

"Dave." he whimpered softly in pain, seeing him.

He went over and grabbed his hand. "I'm here. You'll be okay, love." he said and gently fondled back his hair. "Don't you dare giving up."

"Won't…gimme a kiss." he said quietly and smiled as he did. "See ya, luv."

David squeezed his hand and let go off him to let the doctors work. "See ya" he whispered anxiously. Roxy rubbed his arm gently and led him to a sitting area, staying with him to support her friends. Now, the waiting game.

Eggsy had been in surgery for hours and they almost lost him. David had been there the whole time, anxiously waiting for someone to tell him he'd be okay. He didn't sleep all night and made his way to Eggsy's room as soon as they allowed him.

He stepped in quietly and exhaled softly as he saw him there sleeping. Dave made his way over and gently took his hand into his, rubbing his knuckles.

Sitting down heavily, he held his hand in both of his and planted a soft kiss onto his knuckles. Suddenly, his brain seemed to realize what just happened and his eyes brimmed with tears, relieved that Eggsy was alright. He closed his eyes and felt tears make their way down his cheeks before dropping onto their hands. His eyes opened as he felt Eggsy's hand wiping his cheeks.

"Hey handsome. No reason to cry." he said softly.

"Oh yes, I do." he insisted, looking down at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." he said, teasing and bit back a grin.

David couldn't hold back a soft laugh. "You're the worst sometimes. And a fucking idiot for going out there alone without backup...I told you about that a thousand times"

"Just like I told you you're perfect to me a thousand times." he shot back.

"Seems we both have trouble listening." David chuckled weakly and squeezed his hand. "You scared me."

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'll be more careful the next time." he said and smirked as David just snorted softly, rolling his eyes. He fully took in David’s appearance and his heart ached a bit. "You should get some sleep. You look tired."

David nodded and got up. "I better get going then."

Eggsy grabbed his hand. "I…I think you should stay." he said softly and scooted over a little to make some room for him.

"Are you sure?" he asked softly. Eggsy nodded and so he settled down in bed next to him. David smiled as Eggsy cuddled up into him a little.

They were silent for a moment. "Dave?" he asked gently.

"Mmm?" he hummed tiredly.

"Can you stay? Like before?" he asked quietly. "I miss you."

He was quiet for a bit before answering. "Yeah, I can stay. I miss you too."

Eggsy pushed himself up to look at him and smiled softly. "Gimme a kiss" he smirked.

David kissed him lovingly before letting him rest against him. "We should get some sleep. I love you."

"Love ya too." he smiled.

"Some angsty Eggvid?"

We hope you like it- Nat&Miya💜

"I think you should leave."

Five little words that weighed so heavily between them.

A sentence that hits Eggsy like a bullet.

A plea that David made to protect him.

From himself.

"Why?" he asks quietly, standing in the door frame with the cup of tea he just made for him. "Did I do something wrong?" he asks as David says nothing. The silence getting thick.

"Somehow, yeah." he nods, words tasting bitter.

A harsh thumping starts to build in Eggsy’s chest. "What is it? Was it something I said?" he asks with worry, thinking everything through. No, there’s no way he’s said something wrong within the short time he’s been over to care for his boyfriend. But David stares out of the window stubbornly. He doesn't want to hurt him more than he’s already about to. It would be better if he left.

And didn’t look back.

"Dave." The softness in his voice makes David's heart hurt. "Come on, talk to me."

"You can't fix me." he speaks after a moment, his gaze still fixed on the darkness that is the outside.

"I'm not -."

"Yes you do, Eggsy!" he snaps. For a moment, he swallows hard when he sees Eggsy flinch from the corner of his eye. "But there's nothing you can do to fix it, to fix me." he continues. The sudden outburst was a slight trigger to Eggsy’s past life, having to witness his mother and horrid stepfather go at it constantly. But still, he stood his ground and tried to ignore the thumping now muffled in his ear drums.

"I'm not trying to fix you." he insists. "You're not just some broken cup I'm trying to glue together again." He inches a bit closer to David, still keeping enough distance between the two.

"Every time I'm not feeling so well you show up, trying to fix it. Whether mentally, physically, or emotionally. Well let me tell you something, Eggsy. I can't be fixed and there is nothing you can do, nothing." he says firmly. Though his voice is stern, his hands are gripped together tightly and his eyes are glassy. But he couldn’t let him see. It would make him crack completely.

"Love...I'm trying to help, that's all." Eggsy tries. His mind was racing, searching for any answers for this moment. He isn't used to David acting like this towards him. Like it's his fault that he isn't doing well right now.

"You can't help me, realize that for fucks sake." he speaks again and stands up slowly. He closes his eyes for a few seconds, taking in everything and soaking up any remnants of his emotions showing.

"David, you called me saying you needed my help. And-."

"Well, that was a mistake. There's no use in calling you." he simply says, not seeing how Eggsy's eyes fill with tears. But he knows all too well that this is breaking him softly. “Not anymore.”

"I..." Eggsy closes his mouth again, shaking his head. "Well if it helps being mad at me, then just do it."

"Oh fuck off!" he groans and goes over to a small table a few meters from him. There sits an awaiting glass and a tall bottle of alcohol. He pours himself a drink, his back still facing the equally vulnerable man in the room.

Eggsy walks over to him, tears burning in his eyes. He takes the glass and puts it aside. "I mean it. If I'm so useless and all I can do is let you be mad at me, then do it. If it helps you to feel better, then fucking do it." he says and looks up at him, his lips trembling.

"Eggsy." Dave speaks warningly and dares to look in his eyes.

"Come on, tell me how fucking useless everything I ever did to calm you down was. Tell me I'm unable to calm you down and make you feel better." he continues, knowing he was pushing his buttons now. "Oh for fucks sake just punch me so it'll be easier to hate you and leave." he chokes out and a tear falls down his cheek.

The entire scene is heartbreaking, the air thick with hurt from both the men.

David grabs his shoulders and shoves him against the wall gently to keep him still. "Stop it, right now."

"Why?" he asks tiredly. "Because you realized you can't just push me away because we love each other? Because I love you?"

"Stop it." he shakes his head and lets go of him. "You deserve better than me, you know that."

"David, I don't know how often I have to tell you that I love you the way you are." he speaks trembling. David sighs softly and closes his eyes, rubbing his face.

"I don't think that I'll ever believe that, or this." he says after a moment and opens his eyes again. Right then, he sees Eggsy's heart breaking. His face loses its color and the tears start spilling down his cheeks, his hands reaching up to messily wipe them away.

David looks into those beautiful blueish green eyes and can see how much he just hurt him. Like all the light once shining in them suddenly vanished. "Okay then." he presses out, trying not to break down. "I guess I'll go home then." he says and doesn't look at him as he makes his way out, holding back his sobs.

David stands still for a moment, watching him go. Once it’s clear, silent tears are running down his cheeks, his eyes burning almost instantly. He feels like shit for letting him go, hurting him and pushing him away. "Well done." he tells himself. "You just kept him safe."

Let me take care of you

Ship: Eggvid

Word Count: 3454

Summary: Eggsy comes back home injured from a mission and gives his best to hide it from his boyfriend. But David quickly realizes he’s in pain and tries to take proper care of him, which isn’t easy with such a stubborn boyfriend as Eggsy.

Additional tags: trigger warning (mention of blood), injuries, fluff, soft, hurt/comfort, Kingsman, The Bodyguard, Merlin

Eggsy curses under his breath as he pushes himself up from the floor and rubs his face tiredly. He leans against the cold brick wall behind him and winces at the pain shooting through his body.

“Fucking cunts!” He curses again and presses his hand against his injured ribs. Eggsy presses his eyes closed, taking a deep breath in through his nose and exhaling slowly out of his mouth, breathing through the pain. He sinks his hand into his pocket, trying to find his phone but stops himself when his fingers wrap around the cold device in his jacket. “Don’t,” he tells himself and lets go of it again. If he called his boyfriend now and tell him to pick him up because he was too weak to walk, David would worry too much and come to him in a panic.

Eggsy crouches down, groans, and leans against the wall catching his breath. Maybe if he would take a small break, he would be able to get his car and drive home. Everything went wrong this time. It started off good so he and Roxy could finish the mission off perfectly. But when they were parted, Eggsy tried to distract the guards and ended with a bullet brushing his left hip, making him bleed. The fight grew more intense and he soon found himself cornered, which lead to a probably broken rib and a severe headache after crashing against a wall.

He could convince Roxy that everything was okay, not wanting to admit how shitty he defended himself. Going on this mission had been a risk because Eggsy was clearly distracted and unfocused on it. His boyfriend, David, was out there, protecting a politician from assassinations, the usual business. But, it always made him nervous and fear for David’s life. He, himself, had the Kingsmen that could take proper care of him when he was injured, even when he was close to death. But, David would be brought to an ordinary hospital and the fear of losing him was at large.

David on his side was always worried about him, still fighting with all the things he had seen and done in Afghanistan. He was traumatized, fought with his panic attacks, sleepless nights and every tiny bit of tension could drive him over the edge. But, he somehow needed the adrenaline rush to stay sane, to have a proper reason for his panic. So, Eggsy decided to support him fully with working in such an intense job. He knew he needs it.

It wasn’t always easy for the both of them. There were times when it got too much for David and he needed Eggsy right by his side. He never was the type of person opening up to someone, but that changed with meeting and loving Eggsy. On other days, Eggsy just needed some cuddles and the near of his boyfriend. It worked out quite well.

Back in London, Eggsy just wanted to get home, already breathing through gritted teeth, when his stepfather’s thugs showed up and decided to beat him up all over again. Figuring out Eggsy wasn’t beating them as easily as usual, they decided to rough him up even more.

And here he was, trying to get up and back home to his boyfriend. Eggsy pushes himself up at the wall cursing Fuck a few times. He bends forward in pain and lets out a moan bracing himself on his knees. “Okay, deep breaths,” he encourages himself and slowly stands up straight. He walks over to his car slowly and fumbles for his keys. Quickly opening the door, he gets inside. He winces in pain as he buckles up and starts driving, tears forming in his eyes. It was almost impossible to breathe right now and the pain only got worse with every passing second.

David cracks his neck tiredly and lets out a relieved moan as the tension passes a bit. He looks at his watch and frowns a bit. Eggsy should be home already, at least that’s what he told him yesterday. He stands still for a moment and sinks his hand into his pocket taking out his phone and turning it on. David stares at his lock screen for a moment and sees the picture of him and Eggsy. He dials Eggsy’s number, his thumb hovering over the button to press call. “Don’t panic,” he tells himself and turns it off putting it back into his jacket. JB comes around the corner and David crouches down, patting the dog’s head lovingly. “You miss him too, right?” he asks and sighs lightly. He pushes himself up and walks into the kitchen grabbing the dog food. “Let’s get you some dinner,” he takes out the bowl and fills it when he hears the key in the door. David breathes out relieved and puts the bowl down, letting JB eat and puts the package back into the drawer.

When he walks around the corner, he feels shock settling in. “Holy shit!” he says and feels his heart starting to race.

“Well that’s a hello,” Eggsy smiles weakly and braces himself at the wall as he kicks off his shoes.

“What the hell happened?” David asks, panicked, and rushes over to his boyfriend, who seems to have severe trouble to stand straight. His eyes wander all over him taking in everything and he sucks in a sharp breath. His boyfriend was covered in blood, a big bruise on his cheek, a swollen lip, his hair was a mess, along with his suit.

“I might have gotten into a fight,” Eggsy admits and looks at him carefully. He wouldn’t send him into panic, right? “Maybe two,” he chuckles and contorts his face moaning at that.

“What’s wrong?” David asks worried as Eggsy suddenly goes pale and tries to hold himself up, stumbling. He pulls him into his arms and barely dares to touch him, not wanting to hurt him.

“It’s nothing. Just got a punch on the head that’s all,” he mumbles into his shoulder and closes his eyes.

“Yeah, of course,” he growls and shakes his head kind of amused but also annoyed.

“I just really need some cuddles,” he says and looks up to him with a brave smile.

“You need a bath, new clothes, sleep and a doctor,” David says and rolls his eyes tiredly. This would be a long night.

“I don’t need a doctor,” he pouts and makes his boyfriend chuckle softly, “I just need you, darling.”

“Don’t try to be cute while you’re bleeding on my damn suit,” he teases him and leans down a bit. “Okay, come here,” he lifts him up carefully causing him to let out a pained groan. “Sure, only your head.”

“Shut up,” he growls and buries his face in his shoulder pressing his lips together, trying to stop any sound from coming out of his mouth.

David sits him down on the toilet lid and turns on the water in the bathtub. He walks over to Eggsy who looks miserable and crouches down in front of him, “You’ll have to tell me what happened so I can take care of you.”

He sighs a little and nods, telling him everything that happened and holds his boyfriend’s hand tightly. Eggsy avoids his look, not wanting to see the worries in his beautiful ocean eyes and feel guilty for it, “To be honest my ribs on the right side hurt a little, but I bet that’s just because I got a hard punch on them.”

David nods slowly, “Can I check on them shortly?” he asks and Eggsy nods. David gets up and carefully helps him to get out of his jacket, “Okay, can you sit straight for a moment?”

Eggsy nods again and carefully sits straight, a sharp pain making him moan softly. His boyfriend watches him closely as he moves his hand up to his ribs and starts pressing down gentle, trying to feel if everything is in place. “Oh fuck, Dave!” he curses and presses his eyes closed.

“Deep breaths,” he simply says and squeezes his knee encouragingly. David watches him observantly as he does and the way he whimpers and contorts his face tells him everything he needed to know. “I think you’ve got a broken rib.”

“No, it doesn’t hurt that bad,” he says and feels embarrassed for lying him straight into his face.

“Love, a broken rib can be dangerous, okay?” he tries again.

“Yeah, I know,” Eggsy answers and smiles down at him for a moment, “I’ll be okay, don’t worry,” he lifts his hand and fondles over his boyfriend’s soft slightly curled hair.

David watches him for a long moment and tells himself to calm down. There was no use in showing how worried he really was, because his love would only try to hide it even more than he was already. He gets up and places a soft kiss onto Eggsy’s forehead before turning the water off and checking the temperature.

Eggsy watches David as he opens the buttons of his shirt and helps him out of it gently. He braces him as he gets up and helps him out of the rest of his clothes and into the bathtub. He sighs as his body sinks into the warm water and tries to relax, closing his eyes. The pain floats aside and the warm water lulls him in, making him sleepy.

He takes off his suit jacket and pulls back the sleeves of his shirt, putting his phone aside. David leans down and takes the shower head, turning on the water again. He washes his boyfriend’s hair carefully, the water turning red already. His stomach turns a bit seeing it, but he takes a deep breath and tries to focus on his lover’s wellbeing. His heart starts racing when he sees the dried blood in his hair and carefully rubs it away, not wanting to open any wound.

Eggsy glances up to him and sees how pale he got and how hard he concentrates on him, his jaw clenching. He grabs his hand and squeezes it, making him look at him, “You don’t have to do this.”

“Don’t be stupid,” he says and gets up, getting some antiseptics. “Who should do it besides me? You don’t wanna see a doctor and you clearly are unable to do it yourself.”

“I’m okay, Dave, don’t worry,” he urges softly and turns sideward to face him, letting out a strangled groan.

David pours some of the antiseptic onto a cloth and cleans the wound on the back of his head. “Keep it there,” he says and waits until Eggsy holds it securing, “Have you seen yourself? You’re clearly not okay,” He carefully wipes away the blood from his face, dabbing his swollen and bleeding lip with some antiseptic, making him whine softly.

Eggsy watches him get up again to wash his hands, red stained water pouring down from them. He knows how hard this must be for him to watch and he tries so bad to hide his pain. “David,” he speaks softly and his boyfriend turns around slowly.

He sees the deep red water and his stomach starts hurting, but he decides to keep himself together. “Mm?” he hums and walks over to him, crouching down in front of him, trying to blend out the blood and focuses on his blueish green puppy eyes.

“Breathe,” he says and grabs his boyfriend’s hand which is trembling, “I’m alive and okay. No need to worry.”

David squeezes his hand and shakes his head, “Don’t make it about me now. I’m alright,” he says and places a gentle kiss onto his bruised knuckles. They look into each other’s eyes for a moment, sinking into their safe space. “Let’s get you out of here.”

After drying his hair and putting on some boxers, David carries him into their bedroom. He puts him down on their bed and inspects the wound on his hip, that the bullet left. David puts some antiseptics on it after cleaning it carefully with a warm soft wash cloth and puts some gauze on it. He helps him to sit up and put on a shirt, before leaning him against the pillows and putting a blanket all over him.

Eggsy pulls him close as he wraps the blanket around him and smiles at him, "Thank you for helping me," he says and cups David's face.

"Of course," he answers and leans his forehead against Eggsy's. "I love you," he whispers.

"I love you, too," Eggsy says and softly squishes his cheeks.

Later that evening David is cuddled up under the blankets next to him and places soft tiny kisses on his boyfriend's shoulder. Eggsy plays with his hair, calming them both down. He watches David falling asleep slowly, exhausted from an intense day at work and taking proper care of him afterwards.

"You need anything?" he asks mumbling and tries to keep his eyes open.

"I'm alright, luv," he assures him and smiles down at him, "You should get some rest."

"You too," he yawns and rubs his face tiredly as he sits up, "I'll help you lying down flat."

David wakes up again when he hears JB barking loudly. Adrenaline rushes through his body and his heart starts racing. Was someone in the house? He looks down at JB who barks at him and runs around nervously. He leans down and strokes over his head. "Shh, calm down, mate," David turns the light on and looks to the other side of the bed, being empty. "Eggsy?" he asks confused and suddenly it hits him. "Where is he, JB? Where's Eggsy?"

The pug rushes out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. When he gets in, he sees his boyfriend sitting on the floor, bend over in pain, his face buried in his knees. Eggsy groans and spits out a curse.

“Hey, what’s going on, darling?” he asks worried and crouches down in front of him. The younger man leans his head back against the wall behind him and groans at that movement. David lets his eyes wander all over him searching for a sign. His boyfriend’s breathing is flat and shaky and he is going pale. “Are your ribs hurting?” he asks and carefully rubs over his shoulder.

“Can’t breathe,” he chokes out and presses his eyes closed trying to focus. His lungs are burning, the pain in his ribs got worse and he can’t get enough air, feeling himself getting dizzy, “Hurts.”

“Okay, I’ll help you to lie down for a moment, alright?” he asks and Eggsy just nods, not knowing what to do and trusting his boyfriend to do the right thing. David carefully helps him lying down and gently encourages him when the pain gets too much. When Eggsy is lying on the floor David leans over him and softly removes his hand from his ribs. “I need you to take deep breaths for me now, okay?”

“Can’t-” he just pants and looks up into David’s deep blue eyes. “At least I’ll die with a pretty view.” he chuckles weakly, sweat on his forehead.

“Stop it immediately,” he says harshly and shoots him a glare. “You’re not gonna die on me just because you were too stubborn to see a doctor.” David sees the surprised look on Eggsy’s face and takes a deep breath. “Sorry,” he rubs his face and shakes his head at himself, “I know taking deep breaths hurts but if you don’t there’s a risk of getting pneumonia.”

Eggsy nods slowly and watches his Scottish lover, he would do what he said. He takes a deep breath and feels his whole body protesting against it, whimpering through the pain. He presses his eyes closed and feels a tear leaving his eyes as the pain gets too much. Eggsy opens his eyes again when he feels his boyfriend’s thumb stroking over his cheek and catching the tear.

“It’s okay, keep breathing deep, darling,” he says and can feel his boyfriend grabbing his hand. David squeezes his hand softly and pets his hair. “You need a hospital. Now.”

“No,” he whines, “No hospital.”

“That wasn’t a question, dear, you’ll have to,” David says and gets up to get his phone.

“Dave, come on.” he tries softly, holding his hand firmly keeping him there.

“Gary Unwin,” he simply says and it changes something in Eggsy’s behavior. It didn’t happen often that he got called by his full name nowadays, especially not by him.

“No hospital,” he states again and looks at him harshly, “Or I swear I’ll fight you.”

David turns towards him fully and raises his eyebrows. “What did you just-” and he starts laughing. “You’re such an idiot.” he chuckles and rolls his eyes, “You can’t even sit up on your own and wanna fight me?”

Eggsy tries to hold back a giggle at that and bites his lip at the pain. “I’m not going into a hospital, I mean it,” he says firmly.

David watches him for a moment taking in the situation before his eyes. His boyfriend lies on the bathroom floor, his face is covered in bruises, his knuckles are bruised, he couldn’t breathe properly and sweat was covering his whole body slowly. “Fine,” he gives in and nods slowly. “Then I’ll take you to Merlin.” Eggsy whines loudly and shakes his head. “Hospital or Merlin. I’m not joking, darling.”

“Fine,” he sighs and rolls his eyes.

After a phone call David carried Eggsy to his car and tried to make him as comfortable as possible. He holds his hand during the drive, focused on the street, his boyfriend and swallowing down his worries.

“Ugh I’m so stupid sometimes,” he growls and squeezes David’s hand as a sharp pain shoots through his whole body.

“You’re not stupid,” he chuckles and strokes over his knuckles calmingly, “You just need some help and that’s why I’m here.”

“I should’ve listened to you though,” he presses out through gritted teeth. Eggsy looks at him tiredly and smiles weakly, “You’re way smarter than me.”

David starts laughing and sets the blinking lights, turning the car to it’s left. “Sure,” he rolls his eyes playfully. “I think the word you were searching for is something like panicked, overprotective or scared for you all the time.”

“And I love you for that, okay?” he assures him seeing the hint of insecurity in his eyes. “I need someone who keeps me in place,” he admits with a soft chuckle.

“Oh, I know,” David grins and leans over to him as he parked the car, kissing him lovingly.

Inside Merlin, walks towards them and can only shake his head seeing Eggsy moaning in pain in David’s arms. “Stubborn as always,” he says and sends David a compassionate smile.

“I wasn’t-ugh god-I wasn’t stubborn. I was feeling okay,” he protests and grunts softly when David lets him down.

“Oh yeah, I’m seeing it,” Merlin says and raises his eyebrows at him.

“Come on, don’t give me that attitude now,” Eggsy chuckles and braces himself on David as he walks over to the camp bed like you would usually find it in a hospital.

“I bet you were giving David some attitude not to drag you to a hospital,” he just says and rolls his eyes at him.

“Oh, fuck off,” Eggsy curses and lies down growling in pain, “I was as charming as always, right luv?”

David just chuckles and nods, “Of course, you were.”

After a while, Eggsy is lying in their bed again, tired from the interruption of his sleep and the painkillers he got. He watches David closing their bedroom door and coming towards him. “I love you,” he whispers adoringly as his boyfriend is lying next to him and grabs his hand. “I’ve been thinking about taking a break from work to spend more time with you, because I’ve been on too much missions abroad lately. And I always start missing you so much,” he caresses David’s hair, who watches him observantly. “You’re my everything and perfect. I love you so much, I’ll kick everyone’s ass who’s trying to hurt you.”

David chuckles and kisses him, “How strong are those pills Merlin gave you? Messing with your head?”

Eggsy pouts and smacks his arm lovingly, “Shut up, handsome.”

“Love you too, bubs,” he grins and pulls him into his arms. His boyfriend sighs softly and cuddles up in his arms, “And next time I see those assholes I’m gonna kick their ass.”

“I’ll be pleased to join you,” he mumbles. “Night, Dave.”

“Night, darling,” he presses a kiss onto his fluffy hair and listens closely, waiting for Eggsy to fall asleep.
