@notbrogues and I are going to hell. HAIL SATAN AND HAVE A LOVELY AFTERNOON MADAM
Cousinsverse continuation
Continued from here.
- Eggsy reaches the foot of the building Dennis is on, looks up, and nearly has a heart attack when his glasses zoom in on the familiar figure sitting at the edge of the roof. He sprints to the elevator and mashes the up button frantically, hoping frantically that Dennis won’t try to jump before he reaches the roof. Merlin yells at him to calm down, and Eggsy takes a deep breath.
- Dennis hears footsteps, a voice screaming his name, and turns around just as Eggsy skids to a halt in front of him. He stares, because it has been years since the cousins last saw each other and Eggsy looks rather drastically different in his Kingsman clothes. But then Eggsy takes off his glasses (muttering a quick thanks to Merlin), runs a hand through his hair to realign his hair parting, and smiles at Dennis.
“Hey baby cousin, I’m here now. Sorry it took so long.”
And Dennis doesn’t even remember to protest at being called “baby cousin” again, just flings himself at Eggsy and bawls. Eggsy catches him in his arms and holds on.
- The cousins hold each other and cry together, Dennis with distraught sobs, shaking violently, while Eggsy cries silent tears and his shoulders tremble with all the emotions he’s trying to suppress. He has already lost Harry, and he very nearly lost Dennis as well.
(Sidenote: in the Cousinsverse, V-Day takes place after the Blackwell Tunnel fire but before Rosa sets fire to Gog’s apartment, so Dennis is still having a cough from smoke inhalation.)
- After both of them are a lot calmer, Eggsy asks Dennis if he’d like to go with him instead of going back to the fire station or going home, and Dennis says yes. Eggsy can already hear Merlin sighing eternally about the secrecy of Kingsman, but he knows Dennis isn’t going to betray him to anyone so it’s fine.
- They end up having to go back to the fire station to get a couple of Dennis’s belongings, mainly his phone, and also to say goodbye to the others. It’s very obvious from Dennis’s face that he has just been crying. Eggsy is wearing his glasses again, but the resemblance between the cousins is uncanny.
(It was not as obvious in the previous years because of their age gap, but once both of them got past puberty they ended up looking almost the same - although Eggsy has lighter hair and darker eyes, while Dennis has darker hair and lighter eyes. Eggsy also has a harder, grimmer look to him as compared to Dennis, who currently looks rather like a kicked puppy.)
- Eggsy tries to channel Harry’s sophisticated composure as much as possible, but he’s also staring really hard at Kev without saying anything, and the atmosphere is somewhat awkward. He does sympathise with Kev’s plight, and knows that Dennis’s hands are hardly clean, but seeing his baby cousin so broken has turned his protective mode up to max.
- Dennis grabs his stuff, manages to look Kev in the eye, and gives him a small, watery smile.
“See ya, guv.”
- He nudges Eggsy, who stops staring a hole into Kev’s head, puts an arm around Dennis’s shoulders, and guides him to the door even though he’s perfectly capable of walking on his own. Dennis finds that he doesn’t mind. They get into the car, and Eggsy drives off towards Savile Row.
Dennis meets Eggsy’s eyes in the rearview mirror. Eggsy winks.
Dennis rather wisely puts his seatbelt on.
@notbrogues MOAR
What's better than one Taron Egerton? TWO TARON EGERTONS
So I Had This Idea And It Spawned Lots Of Other Ideas:
- Eggsy (Kingsman) and Dennis (The Smoke) being identical cousins, because their dads were twins maybe.
- Eggsy being about three years older than Dennis.
- They used to be rather close as kids, and Eggsy taught Dennis many of his tricks (eg. parkour) and even how to Wink™. They’d sneak out to meet up in the years before mobile phones became common, and later on they mainly kept in touch via texts and calls.
- Dennis didn’t talk much about Gog, and Eggsy didn’t talk much about Dean.
- They began drifting apart when Eggsy joined the Marines, due to Eggsy being really busy, and it only got worse when Daisy was born because now Eggsy had to care for his baby sister’s well-being. Dennis felt like he was being replaced, and couldn’t help but feel bitter after Eggsy gushed about Daisy to him.
- Their conversations became more and more stilted as Dennis became increasingly withdrawn, hardly talking about his own life at all. He did accidentally mention Gog once, and Eggsy tried to carefully suggest that he spend less time with people like that, but Dennis’s sharp retort was that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones - because Eggsy had been doing some dubious things lately as well, even though it was mainly for his sister’s sake.
- Eggsy tried to keep in contact with Dennis, but he never replied after that and stopped answering calls. Meanwhile, Gog took the opportunity to worm his way further in to Dennis’s life.
- On several occasions after the fire at Dennis’s estate he wanted to call Eggsy and ask for help/advice/anything, but then he remembered Rosa’s dead baby and was convinced that Eggsy would hate him for being complicit in her death, or think he was a danger to Daisy.
- Dennis had a tendency to latch onto people who show him kindness, so he got really attached to Kev except there were obviously many problems with the Fire, and Kev finding out about his role in it, and everything.
- And then V-Day happens before he can start properly making amends with Kev, so they beat each other up while under the influence of the SIM cards. Dennis feels absolutely terrible about it and runs away.
- Eggsy is about to crash for some well-needed rest after getting to HQ, when he checks his phone and sees a missed call. It's from Dennis. He's both relieved that Dennis is finally willing to talk to him again, and extremely worried, because he has a feeling that something really bad must’ve happened to Dennis during V-Day for him to finally contact his older cousin.
- With some help from a grumpy but sympathetic Merlin, Eggsy tracks down Dennis to his last known location - the fire station - and rushes towards it, doing a quick scan of all the information Merlin manages to find about Dennis while on the way. Eggsy’s smart and knows Dennis well, so he had his suspicions about what happened with the Fire and why Dennis suddenly decided to become a fireman.
- Eggsy bursts into the fire station but Dennis isn't there, and everyone has a WTF moment when they see Dennis’s doppelganger. Eggsy immediately zeroes in on Kev and, barely maintaining his gentleman spy persona, asks where Dennis is. He isn't too amused to hear the nickname they have for him, because Eggsy has always been fiercely protective of his baby cousin and would smash in the face of anyone who dares to hurt Dennis in his presence.
- Dennis left his phone behind when he ran out, so Eggsy has to get Merlin to hack into surveillance cameras in the area to try and find him. Eggsy is just leaving the fire station to continue his search outside when Merlin tells him that Dennis was last seen going up in an elevator to the top floor of a nearby high-rise building. Eggsy goes bone pale with horror and runs out the door like a madman.
@notbrogues AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
