*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Agent Percival, the files please?” Merlin grabbed my attention, making me snap out of my daydream.
“Oh, uh...y-yes the files...they’re...” I scrambled through the folders, hands shaking as I felt the embarrassment creep up inside me.“They’re not here.“
Merlin sighed, leaning back in his chair. It was just the two of us. I had been doing extra surveillance work, helping Merlin gather evidence before they fully went whoever they were after. But life hadn’t been so easy at the minute, and although work should come first for everything, it was hard to focus on even the simplest of tasks.
“I’m so sorry Merlin. I’ll go and get them straight away.” I stood up.
“Wait,” Merlin gestured for me to sit back down,“sit down for a moment, compose yourself.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
“Yes you do. We all do.” he typed away at his computer again.
“I shouldn’t be so upset over it. It was both our decision.”
“Neither of you wanted to go through with it.”
I pursed my lips, twirling around the pen in my hand. He was right. Eggsy and I had broken up, thrown a spanner into the works. We pretended it was a well thought out decision, but it was in the moment, in that one argument we had that we were both screaming at each other, tears streaming down our faces. Neither of us had been the same since. Always so tense, constantly trying to avoid one another in the hallways, praying that we didn’t get signed onto the same mission. All of the team were effected, making me feel guilty. I didn’t want them to have to witness this, it was humiliating; we should be professional about this, but once you’ve found that person who you love more than you thought you ever could, it was extremely hard to let them go.
The next day, I had told myself that I would be organised, I would get my work done, and I wouldn’t let down anymore of my friends. I had my folders, with the files inside, I had decided to make an effort with my look that day, and I had a confident stride.
“(Y/N), I don’t think I’ve seen you smile in two weeks!” Roxy exclaimed as I stepped inside, already making her way towards me.
I just smiled in return, though it wasn’t like my usual self.
"I've been put on the case with you, so you're stuck with me today."
"Oh thank god." I breathed out.
"You seem very relieved."
We made our way to one of the many offices, needing to brief each other."Did it really sound like that?"
She nodded."I don't think it would have been that bad if you two were on a case together."
"Are you joking?" I scoffed as I shut the door behind us. We sat down next to each other at a table, laying down our folders."The last time we tried to have a conversation...Well it turned into an argument pretty quickly."
"All I'm saying is that you're both just as miserable as each other." she paused."He's not being allowed out in the field."
"What?! But he's one of the best."
"Too emotionally unstable, that's what Harry said."
"He wouldn't let that get the best of him."
"Apparently it has...which is why you're not going out either."
"What?!" I raised my voice.
"Harry thinks it'll be best, for both of your safety. You might make rash decisions."
I groaned, flopping back further into the chair."What's going on in my personal life should have nothing to do with my work."
"But it does. Kingsman is your life, it's everything. That why it worked out so well for you and Eggsy. You understood each others lives and they molded into one."
"See how you used the past tense there?"
"I didn't mean it like that."
I abruptly stood."Look, you get started with this and I'll get us some tea."
I didn't hear the end of her sentence, slamming the door shut to make a point. Various agents walked by, but I ignored them, not sure where to head. Roxy was only trying to help, but I didn't like other people getting involved. And now they wouldn't let me do my job? It was bullshit.
Countless nights I had laid awake thinking about him, wondering what would have happened if we never argued. Perhaps a more adult conversation wouldn't have landed us here. I missed him so much. He was on my mind constantly. I could only hope he felt the same, because that meant that some small part of him still loved me.
"Agent Percival? A word." I heard Harry call.
Following him into one of the meeting rooms, I felt shaky as he closed the door, walking all the way to the end of the long table, I on the other side. He didn't sit, instead holding onto the chair in front of him.
"Percival, it has come to my attention that you have not had the best concentration over the last fortnight. I've had numerous complaints that you are behind on work, losing important information, and that your negative attitude is starting to have an effect on others."
Being so vulnerable, I bit the inside of my cheek to stop my lip trembling, breathing deeply through my nose to calm myself down. I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry.
"All I have to say is this."
Not what I was expecting.
The door behind me opened, and I froze as Eggsy walked in. He too stopped walking until Harry instructed us to sit in the chairs either side of him. I couldn't believe he was here, after all this time of avoiding him.
"You will both sit here and discuss the problem at hand. You both know your true feelings, so stop suppressing them. As soon as you have fixed this, you can leave this room, whether you are back together or not.”
“Only when this is resolved.”
With that, Harry swiftly left the room, closing the door and starting the silence. Eggsy and I avoided looking at each other, the uneasiness building up. I glanced at him, lucky that his gaze was somewhere else; I could feel myself crumbling as I took in his face, having not seen it for weeks. I was a trained agent, I was supposed to be amazing under pressure, yet here I was. This was different, this was personal, he was my boyfriend, and I wanted him to be mine again.
I couldn’t hold it back anymore, blurting everything out, not caring that I looked like an idiot.
"Eggsy, I miss you. I've not been right since...since that night. I miss seeing you lying next to me in bed, hitting you with a pillow if you snore. And that wonderful feeling of seeing you after one of us comes back from a mission, the relief that washes over me when you're in one piece. But my work has been effected massively, and I can't concentrate anymore. It's actually scary how much we were a part of each others lives."
"I miss you too." Eggsy breathed out."I knew this would happen, and yet I didn't stop it. I don't know why we did this."
"We thought it would be easier, better. If we stayed together and someone...got hurt or died, it would lessen the pain. But I think it's had the opposite effect."
"What were we thinking? Better to have spent all that time together than to waste it. We're such idiots."
"So, what shall we do about it? Harry said we can't leave until it's sorted."
He reached his hand across to me, taking my own and squeezing it. That gorgeous smile spread across his face, a twinkle in his eye which I hadn't seen for ages. I hadn't looked at his face properly for weeks, and I wanted to slap myself for it.
"I think we both know the answer."
He nodded."Like it never happened."
Instinctively, we raised out of our seats, leaning across the table to kiss. I stupidly thought it was going to be short and sweet (save the passion for later), giggling through the kiss as he deepened it. As I got excited for it to go further, we heard squabbling coming from outside the door. Smirking at each other, we rounded the table, putting our ears to the door.
"I told you, less then ten minutes!" Roxy snapped.
Merlin scoffed."I don't recall making any bets."
"They still haven't come out yet Roxy, you don't know what's going on in there." Harry stated.
"That sounds like you are implying something else that I don't want to think about."
Eggsy pulled me away from the door."I mean, Harry did say don't come out until it's resolved..."
I pulled at his tie."At work? Really Eggsy?"
"Well, it's the only place we haven't done it."
"Better tick it off the list then."
