Summary
Harry Hart is the enigmatic and wealthy head of the Kingsman Group, a financial behemoth with long-reaching arms. Logan Davis is a former F1 driver turned casual mechanic, known to most as Merlin, a nickname from his racing days. It takes Harry about 10 seconds to realize that he wants to know everything about Merlin, but Merlin’s lived the fame and fortune life already and isn’t easily courted. Fortunately for Harry, he’s got two dedicated life advisers to keep him from putting his foot in his mouth too much.
AKA: Everyone is a hopeless nerd and I wanted an excuse to make Harry the awkward one this time.

A well characterized AU that's now finally complete! Funny and with requisite hijinks (and a requisite happy ending).

Summary
He takes the last few steps to the top landing, keeping his hands on Gheorghe's at his waist to pull him along. "I'm frozen, I'm having a bath. Wanna watch?"
Or help. It's never going to be comfortable, doing anything under the same roof as your nan and dad watching Emmerdale downstairs, but what's the alternative? You want to drive for miles up and down hills any time you feel like a fuck? Gheorghe whispered once, teasing and low, pushing Johnny face-first against his closed bedroom door and leaving slow, deliberate fingernail marks in the flesh of his arse as he dragged down his jeans, or you want to stay nice and quiet for me right here? He's rolling his sleeves up now and there's something overwhelmingly fucking hot about that, like he's committing himself to getting a job done right. He doesn't speak, at least not in words—he doesn't have to, not with eyes like that—and Johnny stares him down in a way that starts as a challenge but wobbles and morphs into something molten and helpless when Gheorghe's hand closes around his cock under the water and slowly starts to stroke.

Great look at them over the years and where they could go post-S2.
