    Summary

    ‘Bartender’s motto,’ said Eggsy cheerfully. ‘Quickest way to a man’s heart is through his liver.'
    In Harry’s line of work the quickest way to a man’s heart was usually between the ribs just left of his sternum, but he felt it would be impolitic to mention this just now.

    Four drinks that Eggsy made for Harry and one Harry made for Eggsy.

    Summary

    Harry offered the first figure that came into his head. Judging from the way the boy's eyes widened, it was far too high.

    He said, “I know a place,” a little too quickly. “Let me just…” He took out his phone and fired off several texts in quick succession. “One of my stepdad’s mates works in a- a hotel real close to here.” From his stutter, Harry guessed that it wasn’t a very high class establishment- but then if Harry had wanted high class he would have sought it out himself. Somewhere where they had seen everything, where they looked the other way without question- that was what Harry needed at the moment, and his knowledge of such areas in London was unfortunately lacking.

    Harry just needs somewhere to lay low and patch himself up. He isn't expecting to meet someone who fascinates him, or to run into that someone again and again.

    Summary

    "Harry," Eggsy said one day, while Harry was deep in a report about weapons smuggling in Ukraine. "I really fancy you."
    "Mmm-hmm," Harry responded, flipping to another chapter about airline safety standards in Indonesia.
    "If I had to say it," Eggsy mused, slightly put out, "I would, in fact, say that I am deeply, wildly, and madly in love with you."
    "That's very good, Eggsy," Harry said absentmindedly, scrawling his signature at the bottom of the paper.
    Eggsy sighed. "Sometimes, I might think you don't listen to a word I say."

    Summary

    Finally the boy said, “Uh. Hi.” He fidgeted a bit more, and finally gave a half-hearted sort of wave. “I’m Eggsy.”

    Harry felt his eyes widen and his gut lurch. “Eggsy,” he repeated. He had already found his soulmark, of course- already looked from it to his face in the mirror and concluded that he had most likely forgotten half a lifetime with this Eggsy. But seeing Eggsy now, Harry realized that it couldn’t have been anywhere near that long.

    Harry and Eggsy, finding each other.

    Summary

    It had been a bloody long day already. Harry looked back at the disreputable young man looking at him and contemplated whether it would be worth making it longer.
