I can’t sleep, so have some Harry/Roxy, care of this prompt:
Hey, I have a Harry/Roxy prompt. How about the two get together while being partnered on a mission? It can be twu luv or just an one-off. But I’m really interested to see Harry and Roxy have some interaction and get to know each other better without the Eggsy/Merlin buffer. – thisbirdhadflown
One time, Roxy flat out asked, Did you love him?
It was a few months after V-Day, and they both came out of it alive with shiny new titles to their name and an organisation half in ruins, but the Eggsy who emerged from Valentine’s bunker was different than the boy who sparred, joked, and went on early morning runs with her during the Lancelot trials. More sorrow. More weight on his shoulders: easily a few thousand deaths on his mind.
He is more quiet now. Aged a lot faster than he ought to have: deeper lines on his face, darker shadows beneath his eyes. She frequently catches him staring into the contents of his glass like it contains tea leaves instead of scotch. The fire in the hearth would gleam off his neat, left-parted hair and reflect in the lenses of his glasses. Squint, and she could see the man who frequently haunts his thoughts.
He hadn’t even hesitated, or looked caught off guard by the question. Just resigned, like he’d been waiting for the inevitable.
Of course I did.
