‘Can I help you?’ You asked the young man, that was standing at your door, an umbrella over his head stopping the rain.
‘Yeah, ehh, is Merlin in?’ He asked, you smiled and nodded.
‘Yup, let me just get him for you.’ You said, Eggsy gave a small smile.
‘Thanks.’ He said as you pulled the door open wider.
‘Come in.’ You allowed him in, he turned and folded the umbrella and stepped inside, staying on the small rug.
‘What’s your name sorry?’ You asked turning back to him.
‘Eggsy.’ He informed you, you thought it was a weird name but didn’t hesitate before walking back into the kitchen.
‘Babe.’ You called as you walked in, Merlin looked up from the book he was reading.
‘There’s a man, Eggsy, waiting for you at the door.’ You informed him, you watched him tense up slightly as he nodded and stood up, pushing the chair in and headed to them.
‘What are you doing here?’ Merlin asked in a hushed harsh tone.
‘We have a mission.’ He said loudly, Merlin quickly shushed him, looking over his shoulder.
‘She doesn’t know.’ He said, quickly, Eggsy’s eyebrows shot up before they furrowed.
‘What? How?’ He asked confused, Merlin shrugged his shoulders.
‘I don’t know, I manage to keep it separate, kinda.’ He said, tilting his head to the side, it was hard to explain.
‘So how do you know each other?’ You ask the pair as they sat next to each other on the couch, whereas you sat on the single chair, your legs tucked underneath you.
‘He’s a friend from work.’ Merlin informed you.
‘So you work at Kingsman tech as well?’ You asked him, Eggsy glanced at Merlin.
‘Yeah, I just started.’ He told you, you nodded.
‘That’s good, are you enjoying it?’ You asked him, Eggsy somehow felt at home with you, even though you had only meet each other.
‘Yeah, made good friends already and some big deals have been going down.’ He informed you.
‘Busy then.’ You said, he nodded before looking at Merlin.
‘Yeah, actually, that’s why I’m here.’ He said, you looked up at the pair of them.
‘Boss man has called us in, and since your house is on the way there, I thought I’d drop by and pick Merlin up.’ He said, you smiled slightly as Merlin gave you an apologetic smile.
‘If that’s okay with you.’ Merlin added in at the end, you nodded and smiled.
‘Of course, I can’t keep you from work. After all you’re saving the world.’ You joked, they both tensed up but noticed your teasing look, they both chuckled.
‘We best be going.’ Merlin said standing up, Eggsy copying him.
‘Of course, have a good time Eggsy.’ You told him, he nodded before heading towards the front door as Merlin walked over to you.
‘Have fun.’ You told him, he smiled.
‘I will.’ He agreed, before bending down and pressing a gentle kiss to your lips, before pressing one to your forehead and standing up, looking at you lovingly.
‘I’ll see you soon.’ He said, you looked up at him and smiled, whilst nodding as he turned around and joined Eggsy.

(Y/F/D) – Your Favorite Dress, (Y/F/M) – Your Favorite Mask
It was Halloween and you were excited. You loved Autumn, loved dressing up for the occasion, and you were sure the men at Kingsman HQ would be in the spirit as well. Every year, The Kingsman would host a Halloween Ball to raise funds for cancer research, supporting an amazing cause. This was going to be a fantastic night!
The theme was masquerade and you had planned to wear (Y/F/D) to the event. When you had tried it on yesterday; you looked absolutely stunning. You wondered what the men would dress up as? Picturing Merlin and Harry all dressed up, a part from their normal dress suits, made you blush. This wasn't the time to day dream, you glanced up at the clock and bit your lip while smiling. It was time to start getting ready.
When you had finally finished and had made your way to HQ, you were slightly nervous. Big gatherings like this always gave you a sense of unease. Holding conversations with so many others was a strong suit on missions for you but when it came to casual meetings; you didn't feel like participating. Unless of course it was Eggsy, Merlin, or Harry. They always knew how to relax you and make you laugh, you were in desperate need of that at this moment.
You stood outside the large wooden doors to the ballroom and made sure to put on (Y/F/M). As your hands reached for the door, a man who looked like Merlin spoke, “May I?” He asked as his hand touched the door handle. You gave him a small nod and he opened the door into the expansive ballroom. It was decorated accordingly and looked wonderful. At this point you knew it was Merlin, his beautiful accent was shining through as he spoke.
You walked in ahead of him, taking in the sight of the massive room and the large crowd of people. Merlin smiled and put a hand around your waist, he leaned over and whispered, “Would you like to accompany me tonight?” You couldn't help but inhale his scent. He was wearing such an intoxicating aftershave that it was hard to concentrate on forming words, “O-of course… Merlin. I love your outfit tonight.”
His hand rubbed your side, goosebumps began to form on your skin, “Thank you, I quite like yours. You look amazing..” This man was always charming but tonight he was making it extremely hard to resist him. You took in his features and noticed he was wearing contacts which really brought out his olive green eyes. When he smiled, his teeth were sparkling and you noticed the two sharp pointed teeth in particular. This made you grin wildly and you couldn't help but ask, “Why are you wearing fangs, Merlin? Are you a vampire tonight?”
Merlin licked them absentmindedly before he kissed your neck. The fangs gently scratched you and you moaned. He took a moment to lean back from you and laughed at the noise you made, “That was adorable, (Y/N). Yes, I am wearing fangs tonight. It is Halloween after all, you have to spice things up a little.” His voice was so husky and deep, it was making your body quiver. You could already feel the wetness building between your legs and the look he was giving you wasn't helping, you needed a distraction, “Merlin? C-could you go over and grab some punch for me?” Of course he would get you some, he was always courteous when it came to you. With a nod and his hand dropping from your waist, he went off in the direction of the punch bowl.
Good, this gave you the chance you needed to get away. You needed a small breather before anything began to happen between the two of you. As your eyes were trained on Merlin, you weren't paying attention and bumped into someone, “Oh my god, I am so sorry...” You looked up at the person who you had bumped into. Another familiar face, Harry Hart.
“Well, you are looking spectacular tonight my dear,” Harry bent down to reach for your hand and brought it up to his lips to kiss. Again, you felt that familiar scratch of teeth and watched while Harry stood upright and smiled. He had fangs on tonight as well?? What was going on? “Don't worry about bumping into me, (Y/N). I was actually looking for you. Would you care to dance?”
This night was quickly overwhelming you. The next thing you knew; you were on the dance floor with another irresistibly charming man. Harry was pressed close to you as you danced, the music made you both sway softly. His hand moved from yours to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. Being distracted by that action; his other hand made it's way down to your ass, giving it a hard squeeze. At this point your heart was racing, “Harry, what are you..?”
Harry placed his hands back the way they were when you first started dancing and grinned. He knew how it was making you feel. Your voice wavered when you asked him the question and he could tell you were aroused, “My dear, I am simply having one night of fun. I thought you'd appreciate me subtly being less of a gentleman.” He paused as the music stopped and you were hoping Harry would have more of an explanation for his behavior tonight, sadly that wasn't going to happen, “Let's go over to the bar, shall we?”
He offered his arm to you and you grasped it, walking through the sea of people and over to the bar. You couldn't help but watch him as he ordered himself some scotch and ordered you what you loved, (Y/D). Harry was always stylish, which made it even harder for you to choose between Merlin and him. Speaking of Merlin, where was that man?
You stood on your tip toes to scan the crowd for any sign of him and was disappointed when you found nothing. You sighed and took a sip of the drink that was set on the table for you, “Thank you so much Harry, cheers.” You raised your glass and he did the same, both glasses making a tinkling noise. This was unlike any event you'd been at, especially with two men putting moves on you. You set your drink down and smiled at Harry who winked in response.
Large hands wrapped around your middle section from behind, a chin rested on your shoulder, “So I see you found Harry.” With this you turned your head slightly to see Merlin's profile, “Merlin, I was just looking for you.” As you spoke, he nuzzled his face into your neck. You could feel his nostrils flare, inhaling your perfume. He made a small groan of pleasure before releasing you and casually leaning on the bar.
Harry of course looked on with drink in hand, laughed and shook his head.
“Okay both of you, what the hell is going on?!?”
Merlin came to stand beside Harry, they exchanged glances before laughing. Merlin decided to speak first, “It's Halloween (Y/N), lighten up!” Were they both drunk??
“And I mean.. what's with the vampire fangs?? I'm so confused!” This little game they were both playing with you was exciting but also infuriating. You didn't like to be aroused and kept in the dark.
Harry placed his drink down, “It’s just a costume, don’t worry. We don’t actually shape-shift into monsters on Halloween night.” A cheeky grin formed on his lips, his fangs sticking out, “We only want to play with you for a little while, (Y/N).. what do you say?”
Play?? Oh no...
MY Merlin Friendos!! @cyber-nya, @whirlybirbs, @missredherring, @fishofmordor, @multifandommandy
Is your muse likely to be the one to make the first move, or would they wait for the other to make a move first?
See, Merlin is a bit nervous when it comes to you. Nervous in a sense that he’d never outright make a move without getting a sense of where you stand first. I mean, god, Harry and Eggsy and Roxy can feel the sexual tension from miles away, but it’s not until you remember his coffee order and grab it for him on a particularly rough morning that he decides he’s going to take you out to dinner.
After that? He’s Mr. Moves.
Does your muse get jealous easy?
Surprisingly, yes.
Merlin blames it on how much he loves you – and when he does get jealous, it’s a reserved silence on a certain topic that tips you off. When you ask, he sputters and says No, I’m not, but by the way he crosses his arms and huffs, you know he’s lying.

You grabbed the little brown bag you had left on your desk and was about to leave the medbay when the door swung open, revealing Roxy struggling to balance Eggsy on his feet. You quickly put your stuff down and rushed over to help her, and she gave you an apologetic smile
“It’s not as bad as it looks.” she quickly reassured you as the both of you got Eggsy onto a bed. “He’s just hurt his leg and found it hard to walk.”
You examined his leg, nose wrinkling at the deep cut you saw on the side of his calf. Although you occasionally helped in the medbay, you weren’t qualified to handle this kind of injury.
“That’ll definitely need stitches.” you sat up and looked at Roxy, who was out of breath. “I’ll call for the doc. Are you injured?”
“Nope, Eggsy was just being a reckless twat, as usual.” Roxy shot Eggsy a look, who scoffed and folded his arms across his chest.
“Was not.” Eggsy replied defensively, and Roxy snickered. Eggsy grinned as he added, “I wasn’t!”
“Alright, I’ll leave the two of you to flirt.” you laughed, raising your hands and backing off. Roxy gaped at you as you winked at her, and Eggsy propped himself up on his elbows as he watched you grab the brown paper bag again, along with your backpack.
“Off to find Merlin, then?” Eggsy asked, and Roxy grinned as she watched your cheeks flush. “Don’t let us stop you.”
“Shut up.” you snapped, waving your bag at the both of them playfully. Roxy laughed as she hit your bag away, leaning on Eggsy’s bed.
“What’s going on between the two of you, anyway?” she asked eagerly, and Eggsy wiggled his eyebrows behind her. You rolled your eyes, leaning up against a desk as you turned to face them. Roxy nudged Eggsy as she whispered, “She’s crushing so hard.”
“No I’m not.” you insisted, and Roxy and Eggsy exchanged dubious glances. They were your best friends, so of course they were the first to pick up on your little visits to Merlin every day. You weren’t a Kingsman agent, even with your father, Arthur, at the head of the table, however you spent quite a bit time at the base.
“Highly unlikely.” Roxy responded, and you sniffed. “Well, go on then, y/n -- go see your boyfriend.”
“He’s not-” you snapped, but sighed when you saw Roxy and Eggsy giggle, knowing it was useless to argue. “Whatever, see you two idiots later.”
“Love you!” they both chorused as you smiled and shook your head, closing the door behind you. You walked down the hall towards Merlin’s room, and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. You heard Merlin’s voice call out, letting you in, and you opened the door. Merlin was hunched over a computer, as usual, and he looked over his shoulder. You could see his face light up when he saw you, and he turned around in his chair and got up.
“y/n!” he said excitedly, then quickly composed himself. “I didn’t think you’d be coming today.”
“Why would I miss out on seeing you?” you responded, then blushed as Merlin smiled shyly at you. He pulled another chair over to his desk and gestured for you to sit, and you sat down and handed him the brown bag. “Chocolate. Your favorite.”
“You’re amazing, y/n.” Merlin chuckled as he pulled the blueberry muffin, and you smiled as he handed the bag back to you and you pulled out your own muffin. “You always make my day.”
“Sorry I didn’t bring any tea today.” you remarked as you leaned back in your chair, taking a bite from your muffin. “I got distracted.”
“By Eggsy, I presume?” Merlin asked, dusting the crumbs off his sweater as he put his muffin on the desk. You nodded, and Merlin shook his head. “I heard Roxy warning him over the comms during the mission, but he ignored her, as usual, and got himself injured.”
“He’ll be okay.” you shrugged. “Just needs a few stitches. That reminds me, I was supposed to call the doc-”
“Already done.” Merlin chuckled, and you shot him a grateful smile. “So, what did you get up to today?”
“Boring stuff.” you waved your hand. You were a waitress at the local cafe, which was nowhere as interesting as the rest of your Kingsman companions. “You don’t want to hear it.”
“But I love hearing you talk about your day.” Merlin replied innocently, and you looked up at him. The two of you began to blush again as you quickly avoided eye contact and ate your muffin.
“Well, I accidentally spilled soup on one of my customers.” you guilty admitted, and Merlin chuckled. “It was an accident, I swear!”
A few minutes later, the two of you were laughing as you recounted the details of your little mishap, and Merlin grinned as he leaned over to point to the edge of your shirt.
“Looks like you’ve got a little reminder.” Merlin gestured to a splotch of red on your shirt, and you groaned as you looked down at it.
“I’m always such a klutz.” you sighed. “It’s a wonder I haven’t gotten fired.”
“You are clumsy,” Merlin agreed. “But it just makes you even more adorable.”
Before you could respond, there was a knock at the door. The both of you quickly leaned back away from each other, slightly flustered, as you looked up and saw Roxy and Eggsy in the doorway, their smirks evident on their faces.
“What are you doing, Eggsy?” you asked, getting up. “Your leg needs stitches.”
Eggsy opened his mouth to respond when Roxy quickly interrupted him instead. “We’re here to give Merlin the data we managed to get from the mission.”
She held out a USB stick, and walked over to put it on Merlin’s desk. Merlin nodded in thanks, before picking it up and plugging it into the computer. Roxy bit her lip, as if biting back a smile as she looked up at Eggsy. You looked between them, confused at what your best friends were planning, and Eggsy burst into a huge grin from the doorway.
“She’s in love with you, Merlin!” he finally blurted, and you and Merlin froze. “And Merlin’s in love with you too, y/n, so fucking ask each other out, already!”
Roxy sprinted out of the room before you could grab her, dragging Eggsy from the doorway. The door closed behind them, and you turned back to Merlin, terrified of his reaction.
“Sorry about them.” you mumbled, looking at your feet. “They’re such-”
Merlin suddenly stepped forward and cupped your face in his hands, leaning down slightly to kiss you gently. He pulled back, amused at your shocked reaction, and you blinked at him.
“Eggsy’s right.” Merlin admitted. “I’m in love with you, and it’s about fucking time I asked you out.”
“Wow.” you breathed, then sighed when you heard excited giggling from the doorway. Both you and Merlin looked up to see Roxy excitedly gripping Eggsy’s arm as Eggsy smirked triumphantly.
“I’m always right.” he bragged, and Merlin picked up the paper bag on the desk to throw it at them. They laughed as they finally left the two of you alone, and Merlin turned back to you.
“So, would you like to go out to dinner tonight?” he asked. “On a date?”
Servants aren't supposed to get drunk. Servants can not get drunk yet here you are with the resident Clown, erm Grand Caster, face down on the bar with Moriarty looking a tad too smug.
"Moriarty.."
"Ah Master! Right on time! It would seem that Merlin was a bit overzealous tonight and -"
"Moriarty."
"You see, Paracelsus made this wonderful concoction-"
"Archer"
"Anyway, my old back can't handle to assist him back to his ro- you wouldn't hit an old man, Master? A no, wait!"
After a well aimed cocktail shaker to Moriarty's face you sling one of Merlin arms over your shoulders and unceremoniously drag him off the bar stool.
"Oh? Hmmm~ Master I am so glad you came for me."
Merlin almost purrs out before in the same breath trying to dump the contents of his stomach on the floor.
You sigh, this was going to be a long trip back.
The location and temperature of the resort Singularity doing nothing for the sweat clinging to your skin. Not to mention Merlin resting most of his body weight on you.
You are strong, heck your strength and combat prowess is made out of pure will, sometimes spite, is terrifying.
But after a long day of questing you just wanted to have one drink and head to bed.
"Master~"
The large man that is currently draped over your body sugglishly tries and epically fails to stand on his own. However before Merlin's face could hit the marble floor of the resort you manage to catch him.
Well..
You huff as the Caster drags you down to the floor with him. And that bastard has the nerve to chuckle.
"Hmm you are so soft and warm Master ♡, give me some mana so I can feel better."
"No, suffer through this"
You feel the man pout as he nuzzles his face against your bare neck. But you shut his heavy petting down as you haul his dumbass upright again.
The vertigo causes Merlin to whine, rather pathetically, but you ignore it in favor of dragging him towards the elevator. As you enter the small space you quickly prop yourself against the cool wall of the elevator and hit the number of the appropriate floor with a little more force than necessary.
Merlin chuckles and his arms slither around your waist, his cheek resting against the crown of your head, cornering you against the wall.
"You are so strong Master, I always knew you would become this strong" Merlin compliments you and you only hum in acknowledgement, your mind lingering at the last part of his statement. But you quickly chalk it up to drunken ramblings as the next words out of his mouth are how your hair is soft like cotton candy.
Affectionate drunks are the worst. That is the only thought in your mind as you finally manage to dump Merlin face first on his bed.
The cool sheets make the Caster chuckle as he wiggles himself on his side, opening his eyes to look at you. The annoyed look on your face isn't lost on him, even in his intoxicated state.
He should make it up to you, for this, for always putting up with him. For always accepting the wall he put up.
He wants to, he wants to feel and love like you do. Feel the burn, ache, warmth and coldness that come with bonds. Like he always saw you do when he observed you when he was still stuck in his tower.
Maybe it is the concoction that Paracelsus cooked up. But as he gazes up at you, Merlin it feels like that world is just within his reach.
With a lopsided grin Merlin reaches out for you, his fingers making a grabbing motion for your wrist that seems just out of his reach and the Caster frowns ever so slightly.
You, however, chalk that frown up to the nausea the Caster is feeling and not the current existential crisis he is currently facing.
"Come join me"
You blink and take a second to consider the request of the Caster, honestly your tired body wants nothing more to be wrapped in his warm embrace. Plus your own room is just too far away.
Your reaction apparently takes too long as Merlin finally manage to grab your wrist and with little to no effort tugs you into bed with him.
For a brief moment you struggle a bit, you are still dressed, he still dressed. And Merlin didn't even bother to go under covers.
Not to mention forgetting to brush your teeth and -
"When everything is done, join me in Avalon."
You freeze. Your hands, once pressed flat against his chest to push him away, clench. Crumpling the fabric of his pretty shirt. Your head coming to rest on the crook of his neck.
He can’t say things like that, he can't offer you things like that when he is so drunk.
Merlin can feel your emotions kicking up a storm as his own do the same. A fluttering feeling starts in his gut, expanding to the tips of his fingers as he thinks about what your answer could be.
To calm himself, even a little, he hums as he presses a kiss to the crown of your head. Merlin smiles, he feels. Just for you.
"Hmm what is a man to do with a Master like you, hm?"
Merlin knows the feeling, the feeling he had when he decided to join Chaldea on a whim. Made possible only by a paradox that allows him to set foot outside his tower.
Yet, when all ends, when you save the world and save humanity. He would have to return to nothing.
"Stay here tonight"
Normally you aren't over happy to share a bed with someone who is a bit too intoxicated. Yet there is something in his voice, that is so human and unlike Merlin that makes you nod your head in silent agreement to his request.
Merlin's eyes widen before he smiles and he holds you just a little bit tighter. The only human that made him cross the boundary of friendship and feelings of love.
Just a little heads up; I’m not new to the site! I’ve decided to make my own little corner for writing fanfics! I’ve been on and off RPing for years on several different sites and I’ve been writing fan fictions for years as well.

Smiling to yourself, you dumped your briefcase onto your desk and flopped onto your chair. Leaning back, you breathed a sigh of relief as you spun your chair around and turned on your computers.
“Merlin?” you called out, wondering where your husband was. “Merlin, I’m back!”
“Not like I’ve been counting down the days or anything.” Merlin suddenly appeared from the back of the room, and you chuckled. He walked towards you and looked around to make sure the room was empty, before quickly bending down to kiss your forehead. “I missed you, y/n.”
“I missed you too, Merlin.” you sighed as Merlin sat as his desk besides you as the door opened. You looked up to see a young, blonde man stroll into the room, and you could see his confused expression as he looked you up and down.
“Eggsy, y/n.” Merlin introduced him, and you got up to shake his hand. “y/n, Eggsy.”
“New recruit?” you asked, and Eggsy nodded.
“This is Lee’s son.” Merlin added, and you looked at Eggsy in surprised.
“I can see the resemblance now.” you looked Eggsy up and down, and Eggsy smiled. Leaning closer to Eggsy, you continued, “Lee was an excellent agent, Eggsy. He’d be proud of you.”
“You knew my dad, eh?” Eggsy couldn’t help but feel a little smug. “He was pretty awesome.”
Laughing, you sat back down in your chair, and Eggsy leaned over your shoulder to look at your computers.
“So are you a technician then?” Eggsy asked, jerking his chin at your desk. “Like Merlin?”
“Of sorts,” you nodded. “Though I do a little bit more field work then Merlin.”
“Yes, he just got back from an undercover mission in Russia.” Merlin tapped his pen on the desk, and Eggsy nodded in awe.
“Which was a major success, by the way.” you added playfully, and Eggsy laughed as Merlin suppressed a smile. Looking between the two of you, Eggsy folded his arms across his chest.
“So have the two known each other for a long time, or?” Eggsy asked, and you glanced at Merlin. You pressed your lips together as Merlin cleared his throat and sat up.
“Uh, well, y/n is actually my husband, Eggsy.” Merlin clarified, and Eggsy gaped.
“You’re what?!” Eggsy gasped, not quite believing what he was hearing. He didn’t know even know if Merlin had any family close to him, let alone if he was married. He stared at you, and you nodded in confirmation.
“Shocker, huh?” you joked, and Eggsy quickly composed himself.
“Very.” Eggsy nodded, and you laughed as Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. Collecting some files and a tablet from his desk, Merlin got up.
“Well, I need to report something to Harry.” Merlin adjusted his glasses, and you and Eggsy nodded. “I’ll catch up with the both of you later.”
“Later, Merlin!” the both of you called out as he swiftly strolled out the door.
--
Eggsy looked both ways down the corridor before ducking into yours and Merlin’s office. Chuckling to yourself, you spun around in your chair to face him as he closed the door behind him.
“Don’t you have a mission to work on?” you joked as Eggsy rolled his eyes and grabbed Merlin’s chair.
“I just need a fucking break sometimes.” Eggsy sighed as he wheeled Merlin’s chair over to you and sat down. Over the past few weeks, you had become close to the young man, and he often visited you in your office to stop and chat. Gesturing to your husband’s desk, Eggsy asked, “Merlin not in?”
“I think he’s helping Harry with something.” you shrugged, and Eggsy raised an eyebrow.
“Think?” Eggsy asked, and you gave him a quizzical look. Pressing his lips together, Eggsy looked away before asking, “y/n, do you ever worry about how… I don’t know… distant you and Merlin are?”
“What do you mean?” you asked, and Eggsy rubbed his jaw and leaned forward.
“I don’t know, it’s just…” Eggsy stammered, not sure if it was his business to ask such questions. “I barely see the two of you interact, and you’re fucking married. D-do you ever worry if he doesn’t love you?”
Eggsy regretted the words the moment they left his lips when he saw your expression become guarded. Shaking his head, Eggsy quickly tried to backtrack.
“I’m sorry, y/n,” he blurted. “It’s none of my business-”
“No, you’re right.” you said quietly, looking at the floor. Unbeknownst to the both of you, Merlin had opened the door slightly and heard the last bit of Eggsy’s conversation. He paused outside the doorway, a feeling of dread building inside his chest. “Sometimes I do worry he doesn’t love me. We barely interact some days, it just feel like I’m invisible.”
Silence descended upon the two of you, and Merlin wanted to burst into the room and apologize for how guarded he was. He wanted to hold you in his arms and kiss you, and reassure you there was nothing else in the world he loved more, but Eggsy sighed and reached over to squeeze your shoulder. Merlin stepped back, clutching his tablet to his chest, before rushing away.
“You should talk to him, y/n.” Eggsy tried to advise, and you nodded. Giving you a smile small, he reassured you, “y/n, it’ll be fine.”
Quietly, under your breath, you whispered, “I hope so.”
--
It had been a few days since Merlin had heard your conversation with Eggsy, and he wasn’t sure how to bring it up. The two of you were working in your shared office, quietly typing away. The day was almost over, and out of the corner of his eye, Merlin saw you check your watch before beginning to shut down your screens.
“I’m going to head home, if you’re planning on working late.” you yawned, grabbing your coat. Merlin bit his lip as you walked up behind him and put your hand on his shoulder. “I’ll see you later tonight.”
“y/n, wait.” Merlin spun around and grabbed your hand before you walked off, and you looked at him in confusion. “I want to talk about something.”
You immediately became concerned, and grabbed your chair to sit opposite him. Merlin was still holding your hands in his, and he brought them up to his lips to kiss them.
“I heard you conversation with Eggsy the other day.” Merlin confessed, and you looked away.
“Merlin, I-” you tried to stammer, but he interrupted.
“No, y/n, the both of you were right.” Merlin shook his head, and your eyes widened. “Although I may not act like it, I love you. You are my husband, y/n, and there is no one else in the world I care for more. I apologise for not acting like it, but I am so glad you are in my life.”
“Oh, Merlin,” you laughed lightly, leaning closer to kiss him briefly. “I love you too.”
Smiling at you bashfully, Merlin asked, “Should I take you out on a dinner date to make it up to you?”
“A dinner date?” you dramatically gasped, and Merlin laughed. “Seems like I have a brand new husband!”
“A new husband that’ll actually act more like a husband, from this day forward.” Merlin promised, kissing you again.
Smiling against his lips, you teased, “Oh, I like this new man.”
Kingsman: The Secret Service: Headcanons being adopted by Merlin?
Being adopted by Merlin:
He found you after he had successfully completed a hostage mission. You were one of the children being held hostage. Your parents were killed, and it was being arranged for you to be sent to a local orphanage.
But Merlin found himself drawn to the small child with fiery eyes. He had seen you confronting your captor and you even tried to fight some of the men who had held you hostage, yet you didn’t back down.
Merlin decided he wanted to train you to become a Kingsman. Arthur disagreed – a child so young could not become a Kingsman – but Merlin refused to let you slip away.
So he adopted you. And trained you by himself until you were old enough for Arthur to consider you for a Kingsman position.
You could get very stubborn, which Merlin had to learn how to deal with. He had no experience with raising a child, and you were his first.
Naturally, he would become very protective of you. Even though you knew you were getting stronger every day, he would never want you in the same situation you were in when he first met you.
He kept you a secret from almost everyone, except Harry, who he trusted. He worried that if it got out that you were his child, people would capture you to use you against him.
You learn how to operate every kind of gun imaginable by the time you’re 15, and you’re very good at hand to hand combat.
Merlin gets a little weary when you hang around other kids around the area. He’s worried you’ll get into a fight with someone and get yourself into trouble.
He doesn’t sugarcoat anything with you, he tells you everything as it is. He doesn’t want you to see the world through rose colored glasses.
You plead him to take you on a mission. He disagrees, but eventually relents. When he sees how resourceful you are, he starts secretly taking you on more missions without Arthur knowing.
Arthur finds out though.
“You took a child on a mission?” “They’re not a child, Arthur. They are more than capable of handling themselves.” “Yes, I could see that.”
To the surprise of both you and Merlin, Arthur grants you a position in the service.
