Chapter Text

Soon after the troublemaking kids and their parents left headquarters, the soon to be growing family had some happiness to look forward to in the next few days. Eggsy and Daisy’s birthday came around; Eggsy turning 24 and Daisy seven-years-old. Wanting Daisy to have fun, and glad to see her now blossoming socially; the kids in her age range now were all kind to her; Harry invited all of them to a funhouse that he rented out for the day.

Eggsy still planned on going out with his group of friends later to celebrate; but for now he had fun running around the play area with Daisy and all the other children. It was a challenge and a half to herd such a large group, but all the parents stayed to help with everyone. Eggsy and a few parents were able to climb and play on the jungle gym with the kids.

The playhouse filled with the laughter and shouting of happy, hyper, sugar filled children. Harry couldn’t be happier that he could give his loves a chance to have so much fun, and give Eggsy a chance to kind of revert back to the childhood he was denied the first time. He was just as hyper and happy as the little ones.

The toddlers and babies who were too little to play on the big jungle gym and video games were kept to their age appropriate area. Merlin and a group of parents supervised them.

Harry and the remaining parents set up everything for lunch before cake and ice cream, going easy and choosing pizza and buckets of chicken.

After a while of running around, the kids were called to come eat. Getting everyone sat down in a seat took a couple minutes but they managed to get them settled and eating. Eggsy found a quiet spot to sit at the table where the food was set out, smiling as he watched Daisy and another little girl excitedly talking about something; glad to see it looked like she was making a friend.

Merlin came over with Jason, unable to get him to sit in a chair; letting him wander around with a chicken tender clutched in his fist. Jason saw Eggsy and waddled over to him, babbling happily. Eggsy scooped him up and sat him on his knee, hugging him close and kissing his head as Merlin sat beside him.

Harry, taking a silent cue from Merlin, came over with one of the larger gift bags set aside with some of the gifts Daisy would open at the party; the rest were at home; sitting on Eggsy’s right.

“This is for both of you, but I think you should open it.”

Eggsy eyed the bag, then Harry and Merlin both; a little suspicious, still a touch nervous about receiving gifts from anyone and especially in public. He would be terrified if he happened to see the mother standing off to the side with a video camera recording him, at Harry’s request.

“What is it?”

Harry smiled, taking Jason to free Eggsy’s hands. “It’s a collage that we had custom made.”

Still suspicious, eyes squinted skeptically, Eggsy stared at him for another moment before carefully lifting the brightly colored tissue paper; seeing a large picture frame. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but his hand recoiled a little bit in surprise, warning sirens in his mind firing off telling him to more cautiously and expect something to spring out of the bag at him.

Merlin nudged his arm, encouraging him to take the frame out of the bag. “It’s not gonna bite you, I promise. You’ll like it.”

Even with the reassurance, and completely trusting the two to never play any kind of cruel joke on him ever, Eggsy hesitated reaching into the bag. He did feel a little more steady and calmed when Harry grabbed the back of his neck and rubbed as his hand grabbed the frame and lifted it out of the bag.

Seeing the collage of numerous pictures of him and Daisy together, Eggsy let out a stunned breath; smiling instantly and vision going blurry as tears welled in his eyes. He knew Harry and Merlin were always taking pictures of him and Daisy; a couple had Jason as well, but he never expected to be given a collection of the pictures that he could put on display in their home.

It immediately became his most prized possession and he cherished it dearly.

“Wow,” he sighed, running his fingers on the glass over one of his favorite pictures; displayed largest and in the middle of the collage. “I-holy shit. I don’t know what to say, really. I love it so much. How’d you plan this without me knowing anything?”

Harry shrugged, reaching and tugging gently at Eggsy’s hair, scritching idly. “Well, when you’re so busy running around with them at home, you don’t really notice everything we’re doing and talking about. You’re very easily distracted by children.”

“We thought you needed something of a memento of Flower being little since you didn’t have anything yet.”

Eggsy chuckled, shaking his head. “And I can choose where it goes up?”

Sometimes his absolute innocence shined through his maturity. Harry smiled, leaning over and kissing his head. “Where ever you want to hang it, sweet boy.”

Eggsy snuffled and dabbed at his eyes, unable to look away from the special gift he was given. It was such a simple gift, but it meant everything to him. It spoke volumes of the love his two amazing Doms gave him so freely.

#####

Thankfully this club outting didn’t result in Eggsy getting in a fight with anyone and nobody was severely injured. Eggsy did have a new lump on his head from bashing it on an overhead light fixture above the table they claimed; which resulted in roaring laughter from his group.

Liam, always the sober one, was of course their designated driver; this time having Harry’s permission to drive one of his personal vehicles. He got everyone home safe from the club in the early morning hours.

Being drunk and unaware of the world around him, Eggsy hung onto John’s shoulders; thinking his almost incoherant babble was making perfect sense to the whole group. He didn’t know which way was up, down, or sideways at the moment but he had fun and enjoyed his night with his friends.

Hauling Eggsy to the elevator to take him upstairs, John put him in a corner near the doors with a soft grunt; putting a hand on Eggsy’s chest as he started to lean and fall, having to grab Eggsy’s hand as if he was a toddler when he drunkenly put his hand to keep the doors open, hanging on to keep on his feet. Eggsy giggled and snorted, then started singing out of nowhere and wiggling a little dance.

The others had fun laughing at his antics but Liam was a little tempted to let him fall back when the elevator eventually stopped and the doors opened again.

He slipped out of John’s hold and stumbled down the hall toward the suite, still loudly singing and having the time of his life disrupting everyone sleeping. Roxy and Madisson got past him on their way to Roxy’s suite, leaving the boys to take care of Eggsy.

Eggsy tried to walk through the door, thunking loudly and letting out a stunned noise as he was stopped. Forgetting he had a key, he noisily banged on the door and called out for Harry to unlock it and let him in; getting a few doors open curious about his loudness.

John and Liam searched Eggsy’s pockets for his key, not knowing they had fallen out in the car that was now locked up in the garage.

The door opened quickly, startling the three. Eggsy’s grin returned when he recognized Harry. “Daddy, yeah!” he shouted, reaching for him.

A little annoyed at his unnecessary volume, Harry stepped aside and let Eggsy stumble and fall through the doorway; wanting to chuckle at the noise that came out of him.

“Sorry, Sir,” Liam told him, giving him the key to his car. “He’s got his house key somewhere surely, we just didn’t find it.”

Harry nodded, putting the key in a little bowl by the door where more keys laid. John was almost falling asleep on his feet, swaying and unsteady. “I’ll manage him, just get Percival in bed.”

Liam took John and directed him back toward the elevator; he would let him stay in his dorm room to sober up.

On the floor Eggsy was already snoring deeply. Harry moved his legs to close and lock the front door then shut off the lights in the front room; deciding to let Eggsy sleep where he laid on the floor to teach him a lesson about getting fall down drunk every time he went to the club.

He knew it was a little cruel and would have to prepare for Eggsy’s hangover, but Eggsy needed to learn to go easy with alcohol. He didn’t need to get so drunk to have fun with his friends.

Chapter Text

Eggsy had a rude awakening in the morning, first Harry banged around in the kitchen while making breakfast for Daisy, which stirred Eggsy to wake up and try to remember where he was and why his head felt like it was split in two. Jason, too young to know anything about being hungover and just a generally happy toddler, came up when he and Merlin came from the hallway; babbling excitedly and squealing, seeing Eggsy on the floor.

He plopped down on Eggsy’s lap, making him grunt stunned by the unexpected weight, being his usually happy self.

Eggsy let out a groan when Harry turned on the speakers set up around the suite, playing ear splitting classical music too early in the morning. He covered his ears and almost wailed in despair at the pain.

Merlin stood watching and smiling at his misery, knowing Harry was punishing Eggsy for being irresponsible. They needed to make Eggsy realize he didn’t need to get so drunk when he went out with friends.

They understood Eggsy drank to forget his trauma, but knew going so heavy into it would eventually turn against him.

Eggsy let out a shout, frightening Jason and making him cry, unable to take all the noise and being plopped and played on. Jason got up and hurried back to Merlin distraught. Merlin turned to take Jason to the dining room, holding him close and comforting him.

“How long are we gonna go at him?” he asked Harry in the kitchen, gently bouncing and swaying with Jason, comfortingly patting his butt to soothe him.

Harry shrugged, scrambling eggs in a pan with fresh garlic and a little onion powder; trying to be annoying to Eggsy without torturing everyone else. “I haven’t decided yet. Depends on how he behaves.”

Merlin nodded and continued on to the dining room, setting up Jason’s highchair and securing him before snapping on the tray. Jason looked up at him, mint green eyes welled with tears and his tiny bottom lip quivering, snuffling and on the verge of another crying fit.

It broke Merlin’s heart to see his precious son looking so sad. He was used to Jason almost always smiling and happy; seeing him sad was enough to drive any adult to tears right along with him.

“Will you sit and be good so Da can make your breakfast?”

Jason snuffled and shook his head. “Up, Dada. Pease.”

“You don’t want cheesy eggs and ham?”

Jason shook his head again, letting out a little noise; signaling an upcoming fit. “Up, pease. Ba Ba bad, bad, bad. No Ba Ba.”

Now a little angry at Eggsy for his wrong choices, Merlin took Jason out of the highchair and hugged him again, kissing his head and nuzzling in his curls. “I’m sorry Ba Ba scared you, sweetheart. I’ll get him later, alright?”

By the time Harry had breakfast cooked and served, Jason was calm again but wouldn’t let Merlin put him down to eat. He sat on Merlin’s lap content to munch on eggs and sausage.

Finally Eggsy managed to shuffle himself in to join them, stopping long enough to make himself a cup of black coffee and chug a little bit of the Pedialyte drink in the fridge to help rehydrate himself. He came into the dining room and plopped down in his usual spot with a huff, groaning as he took a drink of the bitter coffee.

“What’s wrong with you?” Daisy asked, frowning at him from across the table. “Why were you asleep on the floor?”

He shrugged, sighing, and rubbed his head with a groan. “I don’t remember. Was I sleepwalking?”

“No,” Harry told him, tone showing his displeasure. Eggsy knew he messed something up badly. “You drank your weight in tequila and vodka last night. Again.”

Daisy’s little frown quickly turned into a scowl. She let out a noise that sounded too much like a little growl. Harry reached over carefully and took her hand, giving her a bit of a squeeze hoping to comfort her.

“You’re just like Dean, you know that?” she spat at Eggsy. “He always got drunk and now you do, too! You said you weren’t gonna be like him, Gary!”

In any other circumstance, Daisy calling him by his first name in frustration would be hilarious to him; a habit she learned from both him and Harry doing it to each other in their insignificant arguments just to annoy each other.

But being compared to Dean hurt too much to laugh. His shoulders dropped and he let out a little bit of a huff. “Don’t call me that, Daisy. Jesus Christ, I’m not an alcoholic prick who hurts you.”

Daisy gave him a look, another thing she picked up from Harry, clenching her jaw shut.

“You don’t think seeing you like this isn’t painful?” Harry asked. “She’s very much right, you are absolutely acting like Dean drinking like a fish and coming home to pass out wherever you’ve fallen.”

“Well, someone coulda helped me to bed last night and I wouldn’t have slept on the hard floor.”

Harry shook his head, sighing at Eggsy. “You made a choice to drink so heavily, now you get to deal with the consequences; like the adult you are. I will forbid you from drinking alcohol of any kind if it becomes necessary. You’re not going to behave like that neanderthal anymore.”

Eggsy sat stunned, staring at the three unable to form a coherent thought; too crushed by Daisy’s accusations and her reprimanding him like he was the child and she was the adult in the situation.

After that everyone ate in silence, it was more deafening than the music Harry eventually turned off. Eggsy sat sipping on the coffee, starting to feel ashamed of his behavior and regretting his choices.

When she was done, Daisy took her plate and laid it on the serving cart as she did after every meal, and Merlin gathered Jason. He would walk her to the library today instead of Eggsy. Daisy gave Eggsy one last hard look before taking Merlin’s offered hand to leave.

Harry eventually finished and took the cart of dirty dishes to the kitchen so Eggsy could wash everything as he did every day. Harry wasn’t going to let him get away with not performing at least most of his daily Sub duties. Eggsy still sat, now just staring at the half empty mug, head down and tears rolling down his cheeks.

Sure the hangover headache hurt like a bitch, but knowing he hurt his precious baby sister with his actions; he never felt so much horrible pain. He knew as bad as he felt, Daisy felt one hundred times worse.

#####

All day Eggsy kept quiet, only speaking when spoken to, keeping to himself as he cleaned the already clean suite; same as every day he wasn’t needed in his office. He then came to tidy Harry’s office, needing to keep busy so he wasn’t spiraling.

After dinner and baths, Daisy snuggled up with Harry listening as he read to her from their usual storybook of bedtime stories. He had already read all of the stories twice, but it was Daisy’s favorite book and she requested it every night. Harry didn’t get annoyed with the repeating stories, he enjoyed the time he got to spend with Daisy knowing she would eventually grow out of wanting to snuggle with him as she got older.

Eggsy obediently knelt on his pillow between the two recliners, trying to not get bored and focus on the movie playing; not wanting to draw attention to himself to worsen his punishment. He was harder on himself than Harry could be about the situation, willing to mentally beat himself up for his behavior; knowing Harry wasn’t going to beat him like he felt he deserved.

Eventually the little ones fell asleep and were put to bed. Harry laid Daisy down then crossed the hall to the master bedroom. Usually he and Eggsy would dress each other for bed but tonight he didn’t let Eggsy tend to him, and he didn’t put Eggsy in anything special and made him dress himself.

The only thing he did choose was a new cage that he wanted to try out, and having a punishment period was the perfect chance. It was steel like the others, but this one had a bunch of prickly knobs that were incredibly uncomfortable if Eggsy became aroused with it on. He had only threatened to use the cage when he bought it, not thinking Eggsy would behave badly enough to make him feel he earned that punishment from hell.

And so far it was working just as he hoped. Eggsy wasn’t trying to be his usually sly self trying to at least earn a few swats to his ass; he behaved and knelt waiting for Harry or Merlin to direct him to do something.

There wouldn’t be any bedroom fun until after Eggsy’s punishment period was over.

Chapter Text

Eggsy escaped a harsher punishment that night, Harry was a little sympathetic and let him have a night to rest in bed and recover from being so hungover, but in the morning after their usual routine, Harry brought Eggsy to his office making him sit and kneel for the day; switching between the two so he wasn’t in pain staying in one position too long.

Not wanting to worsen the punishment he knew was coming later, Eggsy obeyed. His time in the office was peaceful as always and Harry didn’t ignore him, he wouldn’t be that harsh unnecessarily.

At lunch Harry decided he was done for the day, having his fill of whining recruits coming in and complaining about the way Merlin and agents ran their training. He and Eggsy went back home and Eggsy passed through to the kitchen to make lunch while Harry sent a message to Merlin, telling him he was out of the office for the rest of the day.

“Are sandwiches or do you want something heavier?” Eggsy asked, looking into the front lounge from the kitchen doorway.

Harry nodded, pocketing his phone. “Yes, that’s fine. A cold sandwich actually sounds good right now.”

Eggsy disappeared again and went off to his task, not wanting to upset Harry any more than he already was. It was bad enough that Harry put the studded cage on him that morning. Eggsy tolerated the new punishment cage to behave, but he hated it. Harry was hopeful that it would help Eggsy learn and identify behavior he needed to fix.

Keeping busy, Eggsy made chicken sandwiches with the left over rotisserie chicken from the night before. The family of five cleaned two and a half whole chickens between all of them, Jason especially liked the garlic lemon chicken.

He remembered the honey wheat bread with mustard and a few baby dills on the side for Harry, cutting a few slices of cheese off the fresh block of extra sharp cheddar. His own sandwich was honey wheat bread, wanting to have a healthy sandwich bread for everyone but especially Harry after his heart attack. He chose plain yellow mustard for himself instead of the brown dijon on Harry’s sandwich, and as a lifelong habit he added a bit of ketchup.

Passing on the pickles but still wanting a bit of something crunchy, Eggsy put some pita chips on both plates and found the hummus in the fridge; working to set everything at the table as Harry came in and sat down.

The little satisfied smile on Harry’s face gave Eggsy a bit of warmth and peace. “Thank you, sweet boy.”

Eggsy let out a giddy little noise, swiping bashfully at his nose. He still lived for praises from his two Doms and as always, praises could fix any of his problems.

They ate in a peaceful silence for a few minutes while Harry read an article in the newspaper. “Looks like we’re going to be in the path of a small cyclone next week, we’ll need to make sure windows and exterior doors are boarded up, just in case.”

“Kids’ll love that,” Eggsy almost mumbled, getting a little lost in his head again. “I don’t think she’s ever experienced one.”

“She’ll have us for comfort and security, we just have to not show if we’re afraid of anything. You keep your head on straight.”

Eggsy nodded. “Yes, Daddy,” Harry gave him another warm smile, making him grin again.

#####

Later that night the three spent an hour and a half in the jacuzzi. Harry and Merlin intended to give Eggsy the rest of his punishment but they wanted him relaxed so he wasn’t tense and making it worse on himself. Harry let him have a release, he was going to not allow one for a little while as part of the punishment; which Eggsy understood and agreed to knowing he behaved poorly.

After soaking for a while the three made their way to the bedroom. Harry spent a few minutes thoroughly drying Eggsy’s body, not wanting any moisture to build up and rash from the various toys and shackles they intended to use on him.

Merlin gathered a few paddles, he liked the ones with little pin pricks; he didn’t use it often on Eggsy, but tonight he needed some roughing up. Harry liked the paddle with the not too sharp, pointed studs.

It caused some beautiful red marks without drawing any blood. The pin prick paddle did, but just enough to dot Eggsy’s ass with barely visible blood the way Merlin swatted him with it.

Eggsy let them put shackles on his wrists behind his back, closing his eyes for a breath as he focused on going down into that peaceful place; looking up at his two Doms when Harry reached up and stroked his cheek gently, but he eyed the blindfold a little uneasily.

Sure he was training to be able to handle a blindfold, never knowing what to expect on a mission and needing to be ready to handle anything, but as part of a punishment; even though he agreed he would only be blindfolded for punishment; he was nervous.

“You’ll be fine, my sweet boy,” Harry told him gently. Eggsy nodded and made his shoulders relax again, closing his eyes as Harry carefully put the blindfold over his eyes.

Merlin brought out a hidden steel bar built into the ceiling, smiling when he saw Eggsy shiver with anticipation. He and Harry guided Eggsy to his feet and brought him over to the bar, hooking his arms over to let him hang a little bit suspended in the air.

Harry took another set of shackles and put them on Eggsy’s ankles, preventing him from being able to run if he managed to squirm off the bar. Eggsy just concentrated on his arm strength to keep from falling off the bar, it was only his second time being suspended and he was happy to try again.

“Are you still good, sweet boy?” Harry asked, picking up the cattails flogger and his paddle.

Eggsy nodded. “Yes, Daddy. I’m ready.”

Harry and Merlin shared a sly grin then both took the floggers; bringing the thin whip tips down on Eggsy’s ass and across the small of his back. Eggsy let out a desperate sounding noise, almost instantly feeling all of his tension and stress rushing out of his muscles; going a little limp on the bar.

They alternated between the floggers and paddles, each swat a little harder than the last; marking Eggsy’s back and ass in an almost intricate pattern. Eggsy went farther down into that peaceful Subspace, floating on the hazy, fuzzy feelings. He missed getting marked up so well, already planning his next idea to misbehave enough to earn more swats and marks.

Harry and Merlin made them feel too good for him to behave all the time.

Floating and fuzzy, Eggsy was unaware of the harsher swats that turned his ass raw and bruised; the punishment wasn’t just the swats, it included the lingering abrasions and soreness he would experience for the next week.

He had to learn his lesson that he needed to be more mature and responsible in his actions.

#####

Coming back down to Earth, Eggsy found himself lying on his stomach in bed; a little stuffed frog in his hand and a little under his head, an aftercare comfort item he clinged to following intense play; and Harry tending to the many abrasions littering his ass, back, and legs.

They didn’t hold back too much, wanting Eggsy to learn from his mistake and do better in the future. But, still, Harry’s hands were soft as silk and Merlin’s hand on his head helped ground him as he came back to reality again.

Harry finished and put away the first aid kit then came back to lie down; snuggling up to Eggsy and holding onto him carefully. Merlin put away his book and laid down with them, his hand going back to continue rubbing on Eggsy’s head.

“How do you feel, sweet boy?” Harry asked softly, leaning in and nuzzling Eggsy.

“So good, Daddy. Feels so good having your marks on me again.”

Harry would be lying if he said that didn’t make him at all proud of his handiwork. He saw Merlin grinned a little bit and sneakily give Eggsy’s abused ass a gentle squeeze; causing just enough pain to earn a little whimper from their toy.

“Oh, gods, Uncle,” Eggsy gasped, squirming as refreshed excitement spread through his tired body.

Merlin grinned deviously over at Harry and squeezed a little more firm, making Eggsy squirm and whimper again; seeing how much Harry was enjoying the sound as well. Eggsy fell back down slightly, his jaw dropping and his eyes rolling back slightly.

Getting the signal from Harry, Merlin reached over to his nightstand and found the bottle of lube; spreading a generous amount on himself before positioning at Eggsy’s hole, holding his hip firm as he slid inside.

The combination of the pain and absolute pleasure of being taken without prep, Eggsy let out a sound that would have surely woken everyone within a mile if it weren’t for the soundproofing in the room.

Harry grabbed Eggsy’s limp dick and stroked him in time with Merlin’s thrusts, putting his free hand on Eggsy’s throat and squeezing carefully. Eggsy relaxed in their arms and drifted off back to that peaceful place that allowed him to be used by his two Doms however they wanted to have him between them.

Chapter Text

Eggsy was enjoying his punishment far too much for Harry’s liking. His intention was to make Eggsy see his mistake so he could improve, but it seemed the exact opposite was happening. He acted out trying to get more swats. During important conferences with all the agents, he mouthed off as if he was daring Harry to punish him publicly.

When Harry realized that was exactly what Eggsy wanted, he chose to ignore the behavior until they were in his office out of the eye of everyone else. So, in an effort to thwart future behavior, Harry bought a new paddle. It wasn’t leather like the others, a hard textured plastic covered the paddle face and it was sure to not be enjoyable; the website claimed it was good for punishment and not pleasure.

While waiting for the paddle to come, Eggsy continued to misbehave and antagonize Harry every chance he got. But finally, after a few weeks of waiting, Harry received the package. He hid it in his nightstand to use later that night after the little ones were in bed.

He acted like it was just another normal evening with his dear family, Merlin knew his plans and would stay out of the master bedroom tonight so he wasn’t wanting to talk Harry out of the punishment; he claimed feeling ill as the reason he needed to bunk alone.

Eggsy kept busy while Daisy was in the tub, tidying the kitchen and den. She was tired enough she wanted to go to bed after her bath so he had to rush a little bit so he was done and kneeling, waiting for Harry in the den.

Harry took his time brushing and braiding Daisy’s hair so she would have wavy hair in the morning. She was taking a picture for her student badge and she wanted to look nice. Harry even agreed to let her wear tinted Chapstick for the picture.

After a couple stories, Daisy slept peacefully. Harry put the book away and left her bedroom, crossing the hall to set up everything he needed to use the new paddle on Eggsy, then went to the den. He couldn’t help smiling when he saw Eggsy obediently kneeling, wearing another skimpy nightie.

Eggsy squirmed happily, turning to face Harry as he sat in his recliner. But, Harry didn’t sit back like he usually did, now Eggsy knew something was wrong and his smile faltered and fell.

“Is something wrong, Daddy?” he asked, his hands fidgeting in his lap.

Harry sighed, reaching and holding Eggsy’s face in his hands. “Relax, you’re not in that much trouble. I’m just getting concerned about your brazen behavior lately. I assumed one harsh punishment was enough, but you haven’t acted like you’ve learned anything.”

“I thought that was only because I got drunk again; I haven’t since.”

“I know, and I very much appreciate that. But, you’re misbehaving with that mouth running constantly. What have you substituted for alcohol, I’ve noticed you haven’t really touched it much at all since, but it’s only been a month and you’re going toward another type of bender.”

Eggsy shrugged, now squirming nervously, and mumbled; looking down at his hands. He knew Harry would eventually find out and he knew he was in deep shit now.

“I’m going to need you to speak up, sweet boy.”

He let out a little whine, huffing petulantly, and grumbled a response.

“Eggsy,” Harry warned, tone leaving no room for any more delay antics. “If you’ve started taking something you need to tell me.”

“Can’t I just take the swats and promise to stop?”

“To the bedroom, now.”

Eggsy huffed, now in a foul mood, and got to his feet; trudging childishly to their bedroom. Harry took a moment to tame his anger and worry then stood to follow, finding Eggsy standing and waiting for him.

He sat down with a sigh. “Strip then over my lap.”

Eggsy hesitated, making Harry snap his fingers at him, then quickly disrobed and knelt over Harry’s lap; putting his hands behind his back for Harry to hold. Harry rubbed the paddle on Eggsy’s bare ass, letting him feel the rough plastic.

The first swat took him by surprise, he let out a pained yelp then clinched his mouth shut to keep quiet. But, Harry swatted harder than he had before, Eggsy was unable to keep quiet after the third swat; tears swelling and spilling from his eyes. When he didn’t stop after ten, Eggsy knew he was livid. All he could do was stay as still as possible and hope it ended soon.

He immediately despised the new paddle and wanted to destroy it.

After a few minutes Eggsy’s ass was bright red and Harry finally stopped; pulling him to sit up. The tears streaming down Eggsy’s face almost broke his nerve, but he had to stop the destructive behavior.

“Now, tell me what you’ve been taking,” his tone deceptively calm.

Eggsy snuffled and shook his head. He didn’t want to get anyone else in trouble and he wasn’t a snitch.

“Would you like more swats for disobeying me?”

Again he shook his head, body trembling from the fear and pain he felt.

“Then tell me.”

“No.”

He let out a yelp when Harry put him over his lap again and gave him one swat harder than the others, the sound of the plastic on his ass echoed in the room. Eggsy let out a sob, unable to keep it in anymore.

Seeing he wasn’t going to get answers yet, Harry put the paddle away and moved Eggsy to lie on his stomach on the bed; getting the first aid kit out of the bathroom. As angry as he was, and scared knowing his precious boy was now experimenting with drugs, he wasn’t going to leave the abrasions untreated.

Eggsy snuffled and trembled, crying as quietly as he could into his pillow. He knew no matter how hard Harry swatted him, if he told on the agent supplying the drug to him; he would face death.

Substituting meth for alcohol was probably one of the stupider things he’d done, but he didn’t want to disappoint Daisy again being drunk.

Harry tended to Eggsy’s marks then rolled him over to his back. The pain and anguish almost broke his nerve again. He grabbed the pinprick cage and slipped it on Eggsy, securing it firm but not too tight.

“You’ll wear this until you’re ready to tell me, understood?”

Eggsy snuffled and nodded, shaking from his emotions going everywhere and the cold air on his naked body. Harry dressed him in a comfortable pair of underwear and his oversized t-shirt, signaling the end of the activity, then snuggled him in bed giving him his little turtle to hang onto, and laid down behind him holding him tight.

“I’m sorry I had to be so rough, my sweet boy. I just want you to understand you’re going down the wrong path again and you need to come back to me so I can take care of you and keep you safe because I love you so very much. I don’t want to see my beautiful boy fall so hard again.”

Eggsy forced himself to nod, feeling a little better now that Harry’s hands were soft on him again, and turned around to hide against his chest with the turtle tucked under his chin.

Still though, he wasn’t going to tell on Kay no matter how hard or often he received swats with that horrible paddle.

#####

At the next agents’ conference, Eggsy sat in his usual seat quietly with his hands folded on the table; listening intently as Merlin led them through plans for relocating a few men and switching with other branches. He didn’t think he would ever be traded, he did have that security being with Harry, but he wasn’t sure if they would put him somewhere else as another part of punishment.

Harry was glad to see a slight improvement on Eggsy’s behavior, but he still wouldn’t tell anyone what he had taken and who gave it to him. So, he and Merlin came up with a plan.

“Before the end of the week all agents and staff will be drug tested. We’ve heard some whispers that are concerning.”

Harry didn’t miss the glare that Kay sent to a few of the men, as if he was suspicious of them for something.

Eggsy didn’t notice the glare he was given, his attention obediently on Merlin as he spoke; taking an information packet and a specimen cup. A pit opened up in his stomach, he knew there was no way he could fake the results of a drug test.

“Alright, go away all of you; tired of looking at you.” Merlin dismissed the men.

The agents filed out of the room, Eggsy left with his little group of friends; all of them going on about the drug test and wondering what had been happening to make all of them have to be tested.

He broke away from the group and went upstairs, hearing Harry and Merlin chatting as they followed him to Harry’s office. He plunked the information packet and the cup on the leather couch then rounded to the desk and set up everything so he could hide under at Harry’s feet for a little while.

Keeping so many secrets was getting harder and harder every time one was added to the pile kept in his mind for safe keeping.

Chapter Text

With test results in hand, Merlin gathered their agents and the Irish men; disappointed to see a few of them had positive test results as well as most of his agents. Harry had him watching Kay especially, suspicious of him and Merlin had video proof that he was exchanging drugs with some of the agents.

They were both disappointed to see Eggsy’s results, both felt like they had failed their partner somehow; missed some sign that he was suffering quietly.

In the auditorium to address everyone, involving the staff as well since quite a few of them also tested positive for hard drugs, Merlin had Eggsy, Kay, and the other offending agents come up and stand in front of the large crowd.

Harry stood in the shadows, taking notes and watching everyone silently for any tells he could see to find out who supplied the drugs to everyone else; if Kay had someone or someones helping him.

Nobody saw the little group of children who came upon the auditorium curious to know why everyone was gathered. Daisy was especially curious to know why Eggsy was up in front of everyone.

Merlin called attention, waiting a moment for the crowd to quiet and settle before turning to the agents in a line. The smile on his face made Eggsy uneasy, he instinctively looked around for Harry wanting to run and hide.

“Last chance for one of you to tell me who’s been giving you all meth,” he told them, eyeing each agent carefully. “Every one of you tested positive for hard drugs and that will not be tolerated here. But, if you give up who, I’ll be civil about your punishment.”

The agents looked at each other, Kay gave each of them a stare that demanded their silence.

Merlin nodded, sighing. “Thought so. What if I offered whoever tells me ten thousand pou-”

“It’s Kay, sir!” Bedivere called, enticed by money. “He keeps it in a satchel in his weapons locker!”

Down in the armory John waited with a bolt cutter and comms connected to Harry, waiting to be told whose locker to cut open and search. The cameras hinted that the armory was a possible location of the drug stash but Merlin couldn’t be sure.

On Harry’s order he went to Kay’s locker and cut into it, opening and searching through until he found the satchel.

Over comms he could hear shouting on Harry’s side, Kay exploded at Bedivere, accusing him of lying and claiming he was the actual dealer that supplied him to give to the other agents. Merlin shouted, livid, and stopped the arguing quickly.

“I’ve found an enormous amount, Arthur, sir.” John told Harry.

Harry let out a soft breath. “Bring it up, please, Percival,” he replied then stepped up to tell Merlin, whispering softly in his ear; also telling him to not let anyone get out of the punishment they chose.

They had been hoping Eggsy would say something, but he was still quiet as he watched everything.

Harry gave Eggsy another disappointed look, earning a worried frown, then made himself step away again and ignore his instinct to protect Eggsy from punishment. He knew he had to stay headstrong and follow through, he could not let Eggsy get addicted to meth.

Marijuana was one thing, it was harmless and it greatly helped with Eggsy’s anxiety; they could tolerate marijuana easily. But, meth destroyed lives in so many ways and killed so many every year. And he was not going to let the drug stay on their property and risk a child getting into it from a careless person.

Merlin ordered Kay taken away to a cell to deal with later, then addressed the remaining agents and the crowd. “If anyone’s been helping him, I suggest you speak now; I’m not going to be nice if I find out after this that you’re involved and you’re quiet to save your own self.”

This time nobody said a word. Merlin looked over at Eggsy hoping he would say something, but still Eggsy stood still as a statue and quiet. It was unnerving seeing him so silent. Merlin absolutely hated it.

“Alright fine, all of you who’ve tested positive, staff you’re on administrative leave until you can supply a clean sample and a negative test,” he turned to the agents. “You twelve, you’re going to hell and back. I hope you remember your army basics because you’re going through all of it again and then some. My choice of arena and activities.”

Eggsy wasn’t too worried, still thinking he could convince Harry to get him off a little easier than the others.

“I’ll see all of you at 0100 hours. Dress for rain.”

With that, Merlin dismissed everyone. Eggsy slipped out through a side door, shoulders dropping when he found Harry in the wings. He put on a smile, knowing how to charm anything out of Harry that he wanted.

As he leaned up for a kiss, Harry stopped his lips with a finger; head tilted slightly. “Are you forgetting that I know you tested positive?”

“Yeah, but it’s not a big deal, right? I mean, I had to act like I was gonna be in trouble and all; keep up the appearance that you don’t treat me better than the guys.”

Not knowing what else to do to make Eggsy see he was serious and that Eggsy had messed up badly, Harry sighed softly and shook his head. “I think, for the duration of the punishment, you should bunk in a dorm by yourself. You need to learn that we don't tolerate hard drugs.”

Eggsy chuckled, leaning up and getting a peck before Harry nudged him back again. “C’mon, you don’t have to act like you’re tough on me, Daddy. Nobody’s watching.”

Harry reached up like he was going to take off Eggsy’s collar, fixing him with a look. “Do you need to also lose this for the duration as well?”

All joy and playfulness left Eggsy immediately. “Please no, Harry,” he begged, feeling tears prick his eyes. When he looked like he was about to argue again, Harry gave him a look that told Eggsy he was absolutely serious about taking his collar if he was going to disobey Merlin.

“I believe you’ve become a little too cocky thinking I’ll tolerate something this major,” he told Eggsy, still holding the clasp on the collar; thumbing it as if he was considering taking it off. He knew he wouldn’t take Eggsy’s collar no matter how mad he was, but just the threat seemed to be working.

“What would you have done if you left that shit out and Daisy found it? Or Jason? Just the smallest amount could kill either one of them. Do you honestly want to take that risk?”

Eggsy shook his head, everything tense, clutching Harry’s jacket in his fists tight enough to hurt his fingers. When he didn’t speak, Harry clicked the clasp.

“Nononononono,” Eggsy rushed out all at once, backing up out of Harry’s reach; fixing the clasp closed again. “Please, Harry.”

Now actually getting somewhere with Eggsy, Harry held out his hand. “I think you need to give it to me, Eggsy. For your own good right now.”

Eggsy backed up against a wall shaking his head, tears streaming.

Harry stepped to him, reaching for the collar. Eggsy let out an ear piercing scream, immediately hysterical, and crouched, covering his head to keep Harry from touching his collar. He screamed and sobbed, frantically pleading with Harry to let him keep it.

The commotion brought Merlin and Pam from a nearby hallway, seeing the two on separate walls and Eggsy obviously distraught. Merlin calmed when he saw Eggsy wasn’t hurt, just being his usually dramatic self.

“So you’ve told him the plan then?” Merlin asked, letting Pam step up and tend to Eggsy to calm him down again.

“And that if he disobeys, he loses his collar until you’re finished with all of them.”

After a few minutes Pam managed to quiet Eggsy and send him on his way to Medical for a stress test; all agents who would be working with Merlin had to be tested before harsh training could start. She watched him go for a moment then turned to look up at Harry, hands on her hips and shaking her head.

“I honest to the gods thought you smacked him a good one, Harry. You know taking that damn collar is gonna send him spiraling down more than he already is spun out. What the hell were you thinking threatening him like that?”

Harry shrugged. “I was thinking what if that horrible stuff took my family and that I needed to do something drastic to make him finally see he needs to change. He can have all the pot he wants, hell I’ll even supply it to him and the others myself, but not that hard shit. I will not risk losing any child to that shit. Just think how devastated you personally would be if you were brought a child that overdosed because of a careless adult. I’d like to bring another child into our family and I can’t if he’s going to be on dangerous drugs like that.”

He realized a moment too late he had just spoiled the surprise he had been working so hard to plan for his family. But, Merlin just looked surprised instead of Harry’s worry that he would be upset in any way.

“Then I suggest we make sure all of them get back on the right path then; 0100 on the dot and not a moment later. I am not giving him special treatment because he lets me fuck him whenever I want.”

Harry nodded, glad to not have to keep the secret of having a surrogate from at least Merlin now. He let out a breath and started away, wanting to find Daisy and spend some time with her. He needed to step away from all the stress of everything happening and calm down again.

Chapter Text

Eggsy survived his first day of Merlin’s hell training, just barely but he still made it through the long day of seemingly endless running, jumping, and falling. The other agents fared not much better. Everyone was exhausted and in a foul mood by lunch time when Merlin finally let them have a break for lunch. They weren’t permitted to have breakfast, he pushed them through barking orders and yelling angrily at them.

Needing to see Harry, aching and exhausted; feeling like his feet were bleeding and worn down to the bones, Eggsy managed to get himself upstairs; having to nearly crawl because the elevators were down for maintenance.

He did go down to his knees with a groan, letting out a pitiful sound, when he made it to Harry’s office and found the door was locked. He tried the code Harry gave him but the lock beeped and stayed shut, giving him an error message. Another almost sob left his throat as his aching arm fell back to his side.

Not knowing what else to do, knowing that when the door wouldn’t unlock Harry was in a meeting he needed privacy for, Eggsy folded down in a heap on the floor; too exhausted to do anything but lie there and hope Harry found him before Merlin.

Just being at the office door gave Eggsy a little comfort. He hadn’t slept at all the night before, his first night alone in a long time and he hated it. He spent all night tossing and turning, trying to get just comfortable enough on the horrible mattress to get even a few minutes of sleep that escaped him.

After lunch though, when the agents were called back outside, Eggsy refused to get up from his spot on the floor. He was done with the retraining, he wasn’t going to do any more. He wasn’t going to let Merlin push him to death just because he experimented with drugs a few times.

He wanted to be high now, at least then he would be numb to everything and might have a chance at making it through hell. But, Harry found his hidden stash at home and destroyed it. The action was doubly embarrassing because Harry yelled at him and that brought Daisy out of her room to witness the argument between them.

They tried to keep Eggsy’s drug use away from her, and they still didn’t know she overheard everything in the auditorium, but now she knew Eggsy was using and it devastated her.

Knowing he failed his precious Flower just made Eggsy spiral more and make him more desperate for that numb feeling the drugs gave him. But Harry made him sit and watch his stash burn up in the fireplace.

Merlin summoned Eggsy again over comms, demanding he get outside with the others promptly, and still Eggsy ignored him. He took the earpiece out and flung it toward the railing hearing a faint clatter as it hit the marble on the stairs.

Now annoyed and angry, Merlin set the men to work then came inside to find Eggsy; bellowing his name as loud as he could shout as soon as he came through the front door, stopping all movement and chatter in the main hall as everyone stopped to stare at him.

“Has anyone seen Galahand?” he demanded, hands on his hips.

One of the housekeepers silently pointed toward the stairs, his eyes wide, afraid to speak. He didn’t want to risk angering Merlin more than he already was by talking to him.

The shout was loud enough it brought Harry out of his office. He nearly tripped over Eggsy not expecting him to be lying on the floor. He could hear Merlin’s shoes clomping on the stairs as he crouched to rouse Eggsy awake.

“Galahad you better be dead ignoring me like this!” Merlin shouted furious to see Eggsy lying down when he was supposed to be outside with the other men.

Harry managed to get Eggsy to sit up, seeing he was worse off than expected. He was pale and sweaty, barely able to keep his eyes open. Eggsy started to speak but instead violently vomited, a mix of harsh exercise without the proper sleep and an empty stomach finally taking its toll.

He let out a grunt then fell back, fainting.

Figuring it was the effects of withdrawal and detox, Merlin called for Medical to come up and collect Eggsy to have him rehydrated and examined.

“How fucking hard are you driving them, Hamish?” Harry snapped angrily, rolling Eggsy onto his side just in case he vomited again. “I told you not to fucking abuse them!”

“It’s not anything he didn’t do in Basic. None of the others are sick at all.”

Harry glared up at him, Merlin was just as concerned about Eggsy as he was though so he had to believe that Merlin wasn’t pushing them unnecessarily hard.

“End it for today. In this heat, it’s too dangerous.”

He sighed and nodded, stepping back to call out to the other men outside running again.

#####

Eggsy ran down a dark corridor, hearing that awful cackle and the sound of long, sharp talons scraping the polished concrete floor. He could almost feel the rank, hot breath on his neck as Jinkles loomed closer, chasing Eggsy after making him watch him tear Daisy and Jason apart violently.

Eggsy ran for safety, screaming and pleading for Harry to find him and rescue him; sobbing. He couldn’t save his babies and that devastated him.

Suddenly he was grabbed and spun around, slammed up against a wall hard enough to clatter his teeth as his head bashed back. Jinkles chortled at him, leaning in close and giving him a long sniff and a gruesome lick with his slobbery, awful forked tongue; licking at his tears with glee.

“Tasty boy,” Jinkles taunted, sniffling at him again; giggling manically as his hands began to roam. “Are you this sweet all over?”

Now memories of all the men and women Dean sold him to came flooding back; it was sickening how many times one of them asked him that same question. He absolutely hated hearing it.

He let out an attempt at another scream, but it only came as a helpless whimper as Jinkles’ sniffing crept lower down his body. When he felt the sharp point of Jinkles’ nose on his groin he began to shake and sob, powerless to fight him and too afraid to move.

“Please, Harry,” he choked out, losing a breath when he felt his zipper move. He let out a pitiful attempt at a scream, groaning. The sudden pain he felt almost made him black out; he looked down to see that Jinkles had bitten off his penis and was eating it happily.

Finally a loud, horrible sound escaped his throat and everything went white as he was jerked upward. Not recognizing any of the hands grabbing at him and the numerous voices all talking at once, it took a minute for Eggsy to realize he was in Medical.

He looked around frantically at everyone then remembered his injury. He tore the blanket off his lap expecting to see blood and gore; but instead saw he was in a simple pair of white briefs underwear and there wasn’t a speck of blood anywhere to be seen.

“Alright everyone, hands off!” Pam called out, laying Eggsy down again. “He’s awake, calm down.”

Around him the nurses and a couple white coat doctors all looked relieved to see him awake again. He must have really done something awful to get that many people concerned about him.

“Harry,” he told Pam, calmer to see she was taking care of him.

“Just let me get your vitals and get the room clear; he’s right outside with Merlin. They found you passed out on the floor and suspect overdose unfortunately. You had us really scared there for a few minutes.”

Eggsy let out a breath, anxiously fidgeting and waiting for Harry and Merlin to come into the room; watching as the other nurses slowly made their way out. He sighed when he finally saw Harry in the hall, his racing heart calming.

Harry came in, color drained from his face and worry obvious, and pulled up a hard chair to sit down.

Now focused on Harry and Merlin, Eggsy ignored Pam as she continued to examine him, rolling to his side to face his two doms; each taking a hand. “Jinkles found me again, Daddy,” he mumbled sadly. “He killed Flower and Bubba, ate them and all, then came after me; bit off my dick and tried to hurt me badly.”

“Was that when you passed out, sweet boy?”

“When did I pass out?”

Harry sighed and shook his head, reaching up and holding Eggsy face gently; caressing lovingly. “I don’t know, I just found you lying outside my office and you were unconscious. We did rouse you for a moment, but only long enough for you to vomit everywhere on yourself. You didn’t use again before going out this morning, did you?”

Eggsy shook his head. “You destroyed what I had, how could I have used anything I don’t have anymore?”

“I’m just asking so you’re given the proper care, sweet boy. I’m not accusing you.”

Eggsy huffed, not wanting to believe Harry would treat him badly but coming out of another Jinkles episode he was in a mood. Harry leaned up and kissed his head, nuzzling to let him feel the soft scratch of his scruffy beard that he liked so much, hands gentle as ever on his precious love.

After Pam had a blood sample to test, just to give everyone peace of mind, she left the room to let Eggsy rest a little bit before he was moved to an overnight room. He needed to be rehydrated and fed properly before she would release him to go back to training.

It would earn him an extra day but Pam wasn’t going to let Merlin run the men to the ground like a tyrant hellbent on torturing them.

Merlin did feel guilty for how hard he was working the men, but he knew he had to make them uncomfortable enough to think about their actions and possibly come to regret their poor choices.

Chapter Text

When the rest of the agents came into Medical for extreme heat exhaustion, everyone worse than they looked on the outside, Harry ordered Merlin off their training and took over. He wouldn’t let Merlin run their men to death because he didn’t take the intense summer heat into consideration. He wasn’t going to let his men be abused like that.

He gave everyone a few days to recover before gathering them in the gymnasium to run, making them run the obstacle course as well. Sure it was going a little easy on them, but he wasn’t a sadist.

The worst he did was order weekly drug tests and take the price of the tests out of their paychecks. None of the agents appreciated that.

Taking a break from running, everyone sat where they stopped. Eggsy folded down to the floor, sprawling out breathless and sweaty. Harry and John made sure everyone had cold water to drink, and Harry checked a few vitals to make sure he wasn’t pushing them dangerously hard.

Crouching beside Eggsy, Harry put down a half frozen bottle of water and put a blood pressure cuff on his arm. Eggsy groaned and drank some of the water, huffing tiredly.

“How much longer, Harry?” he whined, pouting up at Harry as he worked; leaning into the cloth he used to wipe his sweaty forehead and face.

“Until sunset, same as every day you’re going to be doing this.”

Eggsy whined, giving Harry his best pout. “Then when can I come back home? It really sucks being by myself all night. At least come spend a night with me so I can sleep properly without being medicated.”

That made Harry frown. He didn’t know Eggsy was taking sleep medication. “What are you taking medication for?”

“So I can have a small window of sleep without fucking nightmares, Harry. Did you really forget how you’re the only one ever who’s been able to keep them away without me taking pills?”

Harry sighed, sitting and moving Eggsy’s head to his lap; raking his fingers through Eggsy’s hair gently, scritching. “Pass this next drug test and I’ll let you come home. You’ve passed all of them so far.”

Eggsy wasn’t going to accept that. He wanted to be back home and he was going to get back to the bed he shared with his Doms no matter what Harry said. He was exhausted and felt unsafe being alone. He needed sleep and safety if he was going to make it through this unnecessary punishment he was suffering.

While the men rested, Harry called them to take a break for lunch; recommending they make a smart choice of what they ate so they had enough energy to get through the obstacle course. Eggsy managed to get to his feet to follow the others to the dining hall, not allowed to come eat in Harry’s office as usual.

But Harry took his wrist and directed him to follow him instead of going with the others. Eggsy was confused but followed hoping this meant he was going to get a few minutes in private with Harry before he had to go eat lunch.

Harry took Eggsy to Medical to have a blood sample tested again. He did want Eggsy to come home, he missed his precious love but he was listening to Merlin on how to go about punishing the men. Eggsy went with him, instinctively reaching for his hand as they came in and passed everyone going about their business. He was probably going to come out of this experience with some type of phobia or PTSD experience with needles from how often he had to give a blood sample to be tested.

Still though, the temptation to use again loomed at the back of his mind. He was terrified that he was going to relapse and disappoint Daisy again. She still wasn’t talking to him, upset by how he was acting so much like Dean being drunk and using drugs.

#####

Of course Eggsy’s sample came back clean. Harry helped him pack up his few things from the dorm room and brought him back home. Giving him a break to rest and recoup before resuming his Sub duties, Harry planned to order from the kitchen for dinner, though he missed Eggsy’s cooking. His food always tasted so much better than the big kitchen, Eggsy put love in the food he prepared for their family and it was obvious.

Wanting to have some time alone with his boy, Harry set aside Eggsy’s bags and took him to soak in the jacuzzi tub for a while. He started the water and fixed it up with bath salts Eggsy liked and new bath bombs. Eggsy stood in the bathroom doorway watching Harry work, arms crossed comfortably again and a little grin on his face.

While the tub filled, Harry turned to gather the masks and creams he used on Eggsy to pamper him; a small reward for numerous negative drug tests.

“You’ll rest tonight but tomorrow I want you back in your skimpies again. I’ve missed seeing it too much.”

Eggsy stepped up, crowding into Harry’s arms, nuzzling on his scruffy chin and hugging him tight. Harry let out a calming sigh, feeling so much better having his precious love back in his arms safe again; hands roaming slowly.

The two stood together sharing kisses and caresses while the tub filled, then fell back into their usual routine of undressing each other before getting into the water together. Harry sat and put Eggsy between his legs, letting his hands roam again as Eggsy settled into the hot water and relaxed; feeling tension and stress vanish.

#####

Exhausted, sweaty, and a little sticky, Eggsy laid sprawled beside Merlin while Harry cleaned him up again; a goofy smile on his face as Merlin tugged and scritched on his head idly while rubbing his wrists where the leather cuffs rubbed a little bit and made his skin light red.

The two Doms were glad to have their obedient Sub back in bed with them, neither realizing just how much they missed him until he was back home. Merlin was starting to feel a little guilty for how hard he had been running the men and harming them, and didn’t argue when Harry ordered him off duty with them.

Pam publicly shouting at him for so many of the men being treated for heat exhaustion embarrassed him and made him feel ashamed.

Harry finished cleaning Eggsy, making sure the plug he put in was comfortable for his sweet boy before putting away everything and laying down with him. Merlin laid down as Eggsy scooted into Harry’s expectant arms, spooning up behind him with a tired sigh.

They were all ready for sleep but none of them wanted to close their eyes, thinking Eggsy being back home would end up being just a cruel dream. But eventually, calm and safe between his two Doms, Eggsy was first to drift off to sleep; snugged to Harry’s chest with his head tucked under Harry’s chin.

Merlin fell asleep next, tucked into Eggsy’s back; nose almost buried between Eggsy’s shoulders as he started to snore.

Harry laid awake for a while longer holding his precious love, wanting to stay awake and watch out for signs of nightmares. He wouldn’t let Eggsy suffer anymore and felt horrible for making him stay away from the safety of his hold for a week before realizing he made the wrong choice.

He hated himself for making his precious love suffer more when he was already suffering. He would have to do something and hope Eggsy could forgive him.

#####

For the rest of the week everything went easier for Eggsy, now able to actually focus on his orders being properly rested every day. He quickly returned to that effective and highly skilled agent he was known for, leading the charge naturally and ramping up the others to keep going and finish strong.

The obstacle course was the hardest part though, he was a little uneasy and more subdued in the dark; nightmares still in his memories. He wouldn’t let that stop him though; he was stronger than those old monsters and he was going to prove himself again.

Harry and Merlin were proud of him again, watching him improving and recovering from everything. They planned to reward him at the end of training when he finished and made it through the addiction that threatened their lives together. They wouldn’t let him fail anymore in his life.

Chapter Text

Soon the final weeks could be seen on the horizon. Eggsy continued to do better, making it through the worst of detox and withdrawal with the help of his two Doms and his small group of friends. But, he still wouldn’t talk about when and why he even started taking the drugs. Even his weekly required therapy sessions were rough as always, he still didn’t fully trust the Kingsman therapist despite having almost regular appointments with her since joining.

Coming home after another long day of running the obstacle courses, exhausted and aching, Eggsy made his way to the bedroom to get ready for a shower. He stripped and sent his dirty clothes down the chute, turning to cross to the bathroom; startled to see Harry watching him from the doorway. He recovered quickly and put on a grin, stepping up to him and crowding into his arms.

“Won’t you join me just once in the shower, Daddy?” he asked, rubbing his hands up Harry’s chest slowly.

“Be a good boy and clean up well, Daisy is staying with a friend tonight and Pam has Jason.”

When Harry told him to clean up well, that meant cleaning every inch of his body, inside and out. That meant Harry and Merlin wanted to play with him.

“Yes, Daddy.”

Harry watched him saunter to the bathroom for a moment before deciding he’d rather follow and play with his boy than take another call from Beijing. He waited until he heard the shower turn on before stripping, sending down his clothes, and going to the bathroom.

In the shower, knowing Harry was going to follow him, Eggsy kept his back to the clear glass door as he wet his hair and body; swiveling his hips playfully hearing the little click of the door opening. He relaxed, unaware that he was tense at all, when he felt Harry’s hands on his hips and felt Harry press against his back lightly.

Wanting to see what Harry had planned for him, Eggsy stood letting the water run down his body; his head back on Harry’s shoulder and his eyes closed as Harry’s hands roamed slowly.

After a minute of touching, Harry leaned and reached for Eggsy’s usual shampoo deciding he needed to bathe Eggsy himself; carefully massaging and sudding his thick hair feeling calmer as he tended to his boy.

Eggsy let out a sigh, smiling, enjoying Harry’s gentle hands, turning his head and landing a kiss on Harry’s chin. “Thank you, Daddy.”

Harry took the showerhead down to rinse Eggsy’s hair and wet his body to wash him. Eggsy stood obediently still when Harry put conditioner in his hair next then grabbed his pouf and body wash, letting Harry soap and scrub his body turning him this way and that as he worked; hands gentle as always.

It was the moments like this that made Eggsy feel most loved, when Harry tended him in a way he could easily do himself but decided he wanted to do it for him. Any time his Doms had hands on him in such a loving way, it helped Eggsy forget his troubles.

Harry scrubbed and rinsed as he went, making sure every exposed inch was scrubbed clean and every muscle was relaxed, then worked to rinse the conditioner out of Eggsy’s hair. He was careful to keep the water out of Eggsy’s eyes, a habit he picked up while helping Daisy wash her hair every night, then set to gently wash Eggsy’s face. He kept the face pad light and careful on Eggsy’s scar, not spending unnecessary time touching it knowing how much Eggsy still hated it.

Now with his boy showered and fresh again, Eggsy switched spots with Harry to take his turn showering Harry.

Sure they both frequently bathed each other in the jacuzzi tub, but that was more of a light scrub down. Showering with each other was a rare treat. Eggsy took his time making sure Harry was cleaned head to toe, slowly falling down into that peaceful headspace as he tended his Dom.

After rinsing, Harry left the shower to set up a few things in the bedroom while Eggsy finished. He made quick work of drying himself and sending down his towel before drying his hair. He didn’t want it to poof and curl air drying, he was a bit of a priss even if he didn’t want to admit it.

By the time he had paddles and cuffs set up and the new spreader bar in place, Merlin had come in looking for him. He had been expecting Harry to meet him some time after training finished for the evening and came hunting for him when he didn’t show up by the time Merlin closed up for the day.

“Did you forget something, Harry?” he asked, not too surprised to find out that Eggsy had distracted him again, but not totally expecting to come home and find Harry naked and alone in the bedroom.

“Just got out of the shower, Hamish. The boy has earned fresh marks. He’s just about finished so I suggest you get yourself ready as well.”

Merlin looked at the setup spread out, but it didn’t fill him with a sense of excitement this time. “I was thinking we switch it up. Rivers told me about a kink club I’d like to sample.”

Harry frowned, confused. “Rivers?”

“Formerly Tequila from Kentucky. He’s decided he wants to stay on with us and asked for a new name. I was thinking of Twin Rivers, Minnesota for some reason. I dunno. He liked it. Anyways, he’s wanting to experiment and asked for my guidance. Told him I’d discuss the club with you and meet him out there.”

“I mean, other than the temptation of alcohol,”

Merlin nodded, looking over as Eggsy came from the bathroom in a towel. “Well, we’ll just have to trust the boy to know his limits and that he’ll be careful. I don’t think forbidding it altogether is the answer to the issue. Just, teach restraint by example, right?”

“Whatever it is, I friggin swear it was not me this time,” Eggsy told them, now a little nervous thinking he was in trouble for something again. “I’ve been really good lately, I promise.”

Harry put on a smile, stepping up to dry Eggsy. “You’ve been a very good, sweet boy Eggsy. We were just discussing possibly going out to a club tonight, Uncle has found a new place he’d like to see. But, I want you to be mindful of your actions and pace any drinking. I don’t want you to feel like you can’t drink, just be more responsible about it please. Absolutely no fighting, understood?”

Eggsy nodded, still unsure but wanting to trust them. “What kind of club?”

Merlin chuckled and crossed to the closet to get dressed for going out. “It’s supposedly a kink club. One of those anything goes places.”

That made Eggsy a little more uneasy. “I honestly don’t think I’m ready for that kinda place just yet. Anything goes usually means a lot of drugs and I don’t think it’s wise for me to be in that environment right now.”

“Are you sure?” Harry asked. “I’d rather stay home if you weren’t going to enjoy yourself.”

“I mean, if you wanna go see it I guess. I’ll just stay close to you.”

Harry shook his head, carefully rubbing the towel through Eggsy’s wet hair. “If you’re going to be uncomfortable at all, I don’t want you to go, Eggsy. I want you to always, always speak up if we suggest something you won’t enjoy and I’m proud that you have now. I’d much rather have you at home and having fun than being able to enjoy myself while you’re miserable, alright?”

Merlin came out of the walk-in clad in leather. Eggsy let out a stunned huff when he saw the Speedo style underwear under the leather chaps covering Merlin’s legs, quickly stifling himself when he nearly laughed at the sight. Harry turned to look, not expecting to see usually stick in the mud and serious Merlin wearing chaps and a chest harness.

He almost grinned when he felt Eggsy press into his shoulder to keep himself quiet, desperately wanting to laugh at how ridiculous Merlin looked trying to dress for a kink club.

“You’re both sure then?” Merlin asked, turning to reveal the front of the outfit. Eggsy gasped when he saw the flashing LED target on the front of the underwear.

Fighting to keep composure, wanting to make Merlin change out of the ridiculous costume he chose to prevent him from being embarrassed but also curious to see how he fared for the night, Harry nodded, stifling a chuckle clearing his throat.

“We’ll have more fun here than at a club tonight, don’t worry about us.”

Merlin nodded, grabbing a long coat, and left the bedroom. Eggsy at least had the decency to hold himself together until he heard the front door open and close before he was on his knees laughing helplessly.

Harry rushed to find a laptop so he could connect to Merlin’s glasses, wanting to watch the reactions to Merlin’s choice of clothes, saving the plans for cuffing and using Eggsy however he wanted for a little later. Eggsy recovered and crawled up on the bed beside Harry to watch the camera feed, thankful that Harry kept their side muted so Merlin wouldn’t hear them and find out they were watching him.

Merlin would have their heads if he found out they were spying on him.

Chapter Text

Eggsy laid out on his stomach, bound by an intricate style of rope and knots, something new Harry wanted to try. He didn’t know much about Shibari but trusted Harry completely to keep him safe and never purposely hurt him. He was surprised to find after Harry tied the last knot, he was relaxed and loose-limbed.

Harry knelt on his knees on the bed beside Eggsy admiring his handiwork with a slight smile, gently caressing Eggsy’s exposed areas; not light enough to tickle, Eggsy didn’t like being tickled, but light enough to make his boy shiver and squirm with want. He chuckled lightly at the little giggle he heard when his hand caressed over Eggsy’s firm ass and gave him a playful little pop.

“How does this feel, sweet boy?”

Eggsy nodded, sighing softly, eyes closed peacefully. “Good.”

“It’s not too tight?”

He shook his head, squirming carefully to show Harry he could still move. “No, Daddy.”

Harry could tell by the floaty tone of Eggsy’s voice he was slipping down; he knew that would help Eggsy when he introduced something new. He spent a few minutes squeezing and playing with Eggsy’s ass, feeling his own fuzzy peace.

Harry reached over to his nightstand, picking up a candle slowly melting, sighing. “Tell me if you need to stop.” Eggsy nodded, happily coasting.

The first few drops of hot wax surprised him, he gasped and squirmed; smiling and giggling softly as the sensation cooled to tolerable warmth. The surprise of ice made him groan, the cold contrast of the hot wax battling his senses and heightening his arousal.

He couldn’t stop the goofy, surprised laugh that escaped when he felt Harry drag the ice cube along his ass crack and the cold water dragged down. Harry smiled and repeated the action, spreading Eggsy’s cheeks and rubbing the cube on his hole slowly, earning another goofy laugh and making him squirm trying to get away from the cold sensation.

Unable to resist, Harry leaned down and licked; making Eggsy gasp and squirm against the restraints, pushing his ass up, moving his hips. He enjoyed the scratch of Harry’s beard on his sensitive areas.

After a few minutes of enjoying himself, Harry sat up again and dripped a trail between Eggsy’s cheeks up to the small of his back making him whimper and groan; pleading softly for more.

Moving down to straddle Eggsy’s knees, Harry blew out the candle and set it aside; picking up the lube and spreading a bit on himself and leaning over Eggsy, nuzzling on his ear to feel him shiver again.

“Are you going to be a good whore and let Daddy use you?”

Fuzzy and floating, Eggsy nodded. “Yes, Daddy. Please.”

The feeling of Harry breaching his hole and pushing inside slowly made Eggsy whimper again, eyes rolling back and jaw dropping open. Being unable to move his limbs only excited him more, being able to put that trust in Harry took away any fear he might have being bound.

Pushing in deep, Harry laid down on Eggsy’s back and rolled his hips; reaching a hand to hold Eggsy’s neck and squeeze carefully as he huffed and grunted on Eggsy’s ear.

Everything slowly faded as Eggsy lost consciousness, something they had done before so he didn’t panic as everything went black. Harry paused to settle him to allow him to continue to breathe unobstructed, sitting up; lifting and holding Eggsy’s hips as he fucked into him hard.

The recently discovered kink of fucking an unconscious Eggsy, neither expected it but both were curious to try eventually.

Harry grunted and huffed breathlessly, the bed moving in time with his thrusts, taking his time enjoying his boy. But almost too quickly he could feel his release creeping up. He tried to last a little longer but he couldn’t stop it, holding Eggsy’s ass back into his hips as he groaned and growled through his release.

Collapsing tiredly over Eggsy’s back breathless and spent, Harry took a few minutes to catch his breath before sitting up and laying beside Eggsy. After recovering his muscles, he was able to sit up again and rouse Eggsy awake; petting on him.

Eggsy woke slowly, hearing Harry’s soft voice in his ear, and took in a deep breath; head still a little fuzzy and his limbs still bound. He smiled at the aching feeling in his thoroughly used hole, squirming back against Harry’s exploring fingers as they breached his hole.

“Are you alright, sweet boy?” Harry asked, nuzzling in Eggsy's ear.

“Yes, Daddy, I’m fine.” He was surprised he felt so good after being unconscious while Harry used him. With his past traumas they were cautious about exploring that kink, and the build up to actually doing it just made it easier.

Harry smiled, pinning Eggsy for a couple minutes more before sitting up to untie him; working slowly to ease Eggsy back up without yanking him out of that fuzzy place.

While Eggsy came back up, Harry held him close; hands roaming slowly, Merlin came back home and immediately disrupted the peace. He was in a horrible mood, being tricked to come out to the club in the outfit Rivers gave to him just to have him be humiliated by the ridiculousness of the leather get-up.

Eggsy tensed as Merlin came barreling into the bedroom, slamming the door into the wall loudly; yanking out of Subspace almost violently, clinging immediately to Harry with a frightened sound.

Harry held Eggsy, startled by the unexpected noise and Eggsy jerking so hard, looking up at Merlin. “What the hell, Hamish?” he snapped. “What’s wrong with you?”

Merlin huffed at him, tearing at the leather, not caring that he ripped it in a few places, throwing everything toward a corner of the room so Eggsy could throw it all away later.

“Fucking Rivers, only invited me out in that get-up to humiliate me at a gimp party. I’m going to kill him tomorrow, I swear. I’ve never been so embarrassed. Little prick bastard.”

“And you know not to come in here like a raging bull.”

Merlin mocked him childishly as he looked for pajama pants, taking off and tossing his glasses on his nightstand before laying down with them. Eggsy scooted more into Harry’s side, uneasy with Merlin being so angry, turning to press his back into Harry’s front to keep Merlin in sight so he could see if Merlin was going to swing on him in his anger. Harry sighed and held Eggsy close, kissing and nuzzling on his shoulder in an attempt to soothe him.

Merlin reached and turned off the lamp on his side with a huff, ready to just end the night and hope for a better morning, not noticing how his foul mood was affecting Eggsy.

#####

In the morning training was delayed a little bit, Harry had to settle Eggsy before sending him off to have to focus on everything. While supervising the men in the darkened obstacle course, Harry sat with Merlin in the control room.

Merlin was still sore about being humiliated but he tried to put that all aside and concentrate on his job. But, Harry wouldn’t let it go.

“Get off it, Harry, Christ. I couldn’t have known you were up to anything.”

Harry huffed at him. “And finding us both naked when you left wasn’t any clue? If you’d come in while we were in the middle of everything, he wouldn’t have noticed anything. When he’s coming back up he’s more vulnerable, you know this. We were doing something new as well so he was doubled down far enough to handle that.”

Merlin sighed, rubbing his hands down his face exhausted from arguing with Harry and his anger affecting his sleep. “Harry, I love you but if you don’t shut the hell up I swear to all the gods. I didn’t mean to frighten anyone, you know I never would intentionally.”

“Then can you at least fucking apologize to him? He thinks he’s done something to irritate you.”

“Fine. Now shut up and watch the monitors or I’ll kick you outta here.”

Almost satisfied with that, Harry turned his attention back to the many camera feeds on display; seeing one screen with location trackers for the men. He could also see the tracker dot in Eggsy’s collar on his glasses HUD simultaneously.

“Also, that was a dick move, wanting him to come out to a club when he’s trying to control his drinking habit. Yes he’s very much capable of monitoring himself, but he’s not confident in himself to do it yet. And, it’ll most likely take longer than the month he’s doing all this so let’s keep those outings spaced out quite a bit.”

Merlin let out a slow, calming breath; pushing back his annoyance with Harry wanting to keep the arguments going. “What did I just say, Harry?”

Harry smiled a little bit, settling in to watch over the men as they worked hard. “Just saying is all.”

Merlin would count it as a miracle if he made it through the day without decking Harry as hard as he could.

Chapter Text

Finding out what Rivers did to humiliate Merlin, Eggsy went looking for him and confronted Rivers. He probably shouldn’t have gone up to him and headbutted Rivers as hard as he could, breaking his nose and fracturing his cheekbones, but neither Harry or Merlin were upset with him.

Harry put Rivers on probation for his actions, always ready to defend and speak up for his men. Being in half a relationship with Merlin didn’t afford him any favoritism, but still Harry wasn’t going to let anyone be so awful to him.

But, after all the drama and anger settled, Eggsy was able to concentrate on finishing his month of harsh retraining. He and the others who became addicted to the drug still had to take daily medication to help get past all of it, but now Eggsy could walk a little taller and proud of himself for making it to a month of sobriety.

Wanting to celebrate all the agents who made it through the month, Harry and Merlin gathered everyone at a party to congratulate them. He did have champagne offered at the party but trusted everyone to know their limit, and also offered plenty of non-alcoholic options for those deciding not to drink at all.

To keep his hands busy and make himself behave, Eggsy carried Jason around in the baby carrier on his chest. He was tempted by the champagne but resisted, sticking to lemonade and juice that was brought in for the children.

While roaming, hoping to see Daisy and try to talk to her again, Eggsy stayed at the outer edge of the crowd on the front lawn. He spotted Merlin sitting at a table with a few agents and started over, putting on a smile when Merlin looked up and spotted him.

Without thinking about how most of the other agents hadn’t figured out their relationship, Eggsy planted himself on Merlin’s lap; unstrapping Jason from the carrier so he could get down and roam for a little ways.

“Oh, so now it makes sense why you attacked Rivers,” Gareth spoke up, noticing the all too friendly way Merlin held Eggsy around his waist and Eggsy had an arm up around Merlin’s shoulder looking far too cozy for just friends.

Tired of hiding and not in the mood for petty, Eggsy smiled, reaching up to playfully stroke behind Merlin’s ear. “Nobody’s so horrible to Uncle Hammy and hides from me.”

He had to fight a grin when he felt Merlin pinch his ass in a light reprimand. Merlin muttered to him softly, making him snort and snicker. He would have landed a kiss somewhere on Merlin’s head but he knew if he did, Merlin would annihilate him later.

“Is there anyone high up you’re not fucking, Galawhore?”

Eggsy barked a laugh at the nickname, unaware that the men had one for him behind his back. He enjoyed it too much to be offended or angry. Merlin glared a little bit but chose not to say anything publicly, letting Eggsy handle himself.

“You’re higher up than me and I’m certainly never gonna fuck you, Gareth, so you just go on being jealous, alright?”

“I’ll never be jealous of a two-pence whore.”

Eggsy just laughed and chose to ignore Gareth, wanting to enjoy the party instead. Merlin made a mental note to discuss a reward for Eggsy’s better behavior with Harry later.

Eventually their discussions came to an end and Merlin dismissed the agents to go have fun, nudging Eggsy up off his lap so he could stand out of the uncomfortable chair. Eggsy leaned in as Merlin stood and snuck a little kiss, giving him a grin as he went off seeing Roxy and Madisson in the crowd.

Merlin watched him go, picking up Jason, and started back inside. He still wasn’t one hundred percent ready for a large crowd following what happened at the club, and Jason needed to lie down for a nap.

When he came in he heard the television on in the den and went to turn it off thinking one of them accidentally left it on when they all left for the party, but saw Daisy sitting alone on the couch. Frowning concerned, hoping she wasn’t having trouble with bullies again, Merlin came in and sat in his recliner beckoning Daisy over to him and putting her up on his lap beside Jason; snuggling all three of them in a blanket and rocking to lull Jason to sleep.

“What’s wrong, my Sunflower?” he asked, hugging her close.

Daisy shrugged, fidgeting with a piece of fuzz stuck on Merlin’s sweater. “Why is there a party for people who use drugs?” she replied, putting her head on his chest with a sigh. “We shouldn’t reward bad people.”

Merlin shook his head, kissing hers. “No, baby, we don’t reward bad people. But, everyone who did the drugs and made it through the month we set without using again, we decided they needed something to let them know we’re all still friends with them and we’re going to help them defeat the drug demons.”

“Teddy says people who do drugs only pretend to not do them so nobody gets mad at them no more.”

“Well, with the exception of three, everyone who was being punished for using drugs passed every drug test we gave them; that means we checked their blood to make sure they didn’t use any illegal, bad drugs. Eggsy was especially good at passing every test and he worked so hard to make it through the month we gave them.”

“Why did he take bad drugs anyways, why didn’t he just tell them no when they gave it to him?”

Merlin sighed thoughtfully, trying to figure a way to explain things to her in a way she could understand better. “Well, the first time he ever took drugs at all, that monster Dean didn’t give him any chance to say no; he forced a needle into Eggsy’s arm when he was just a kid like you the first time.”

“Why?”

“He was an evil, horrible monster who enjoyed hurting children in the most horrible ways.”

“Why was he like that?”

He shrugged and shook his head. “Some people are just evil like that because they like it. They have demons inside them that tell them to do horrible, gruesome things to others and to like doing it.”

“Why don’t they tell the demons no?”

“Because the devil is powerful and they’re too weak to fight him. They have to make humans hurt each other to satisfy him. He likes pain and torture and wants us all to be so mean to each other all the time.”

“Is there a demon in Eggsy, too?”

He gave her a weak smile. “No, Sunflower. Eggsy fights the demons because he’s so strong and he’s a good man. He’s going to continue to fight them off and win every time, me and Daddy will make sure he doesn’t lose against them, I promise.”

Daisy sighed, scrubbing at her nose a moment. “Will the demons try to get me, too?”

“No,” he told her softly, giving her another squeeze for a moment. “We’ll all make sure you never have to fight those demons. You’re absolutely safest with us, my Sunflower.”

She nodded and snuggled closer, turning her attention back to the television. Merlin kissed her head again, holding his two favorite kids and settling in to wait for Jason to fall asleep; rocking the chair slowly.

#####

A few hours later the party started to die down as the crowd thinned; people had been going inside slowly over the last hour so Harry went around looking for Eggsy and his charges. He spotted Eggsy sitting at the fountain with his friends, all laughing about something and enjoying each other’s company.

Deciding Eggsy was just fine with them and not wanting to break up their fun, he left Eggsy to spend time with them for a while longer and made his way inside. He figured Merlin retreated back home when it started getting hotter outside, not wanting Jason to get too hot.

He came in and found them in the den, Jason awake from his afternoon nap playing on a blanket on the floor and Merlin up in his recliner snuggling with Daisy still. Harry smiled at the three, listening as Daisy read to Merlin from her storybook; proud of the progress she made learning how to read.

Sure she learned a little slower than her peers, but being with a private tutor he wasn’t worried about her feeling pressure to keep up with them. She still had plenty to learn and endless time to learn it.

“Well, isn’t this sight just precious?”

Merlin looked up, giving him a slight grin. “She really is, isn’t she?”

“Everything alright?” he asked, leaning in the doorway. “You disappeared kind of quickly.”

He shrugged, smile slipping. “It was getting a little too warm,” he fibbed. “Didn’t want Bub getting heat sick.”

“Flower come in with you?”

“No, and we’re going to have to speak with Teddy about some of his subject matter he’s been discussing with her. He’s very opinionated on drug use and has shared some of that with her.”

Harry sighed, running a hand down his face tiredly. “Gods, I’m not in the mood for that right now. Can you handle it? If you feel he needs to be replaced, go ahead. Just give me a heads up so I can start looking for someone new.”

Merlin nodded. “I’ll talk to him then make a decision when I’ve sat and considered.”

They heard the front door open and laughter coming into the suite. Harry stepped away to see who was coming in so rowdy, seeing Eggsy and the girls. Eggsy grinned at Harry, going to him and giving him a kiss. Harry smiled before he could stop the reaction.

“Where are you off to, sweet boy?”

“Gonna change then head off to do a bit of shopping with the girls; they’ve been harassed in the shops before so I’ma tag along and be their bodyguard for a while so they can shop in peace.”

That just made Harry more proud of Eggsy. He was always going to be a protector. “Be a good boy, no guns but take something just in case you’ll need it, alright? And, don’t sneak anything skimpy like last time you went out; no daring each other to be ridiculous.”

Eggsy giggled at the memory. He was bet ten dollars by Liam that he wouldn’t strip down to his underwear and run through a snooty party they found in town. It exposed his skimpy things to his friends, but ten dollars was ten dollars. He would do more for less if it gave his friends a laugh.

He leaned up for another kiss then turned to go change out of his good clothes for something more appropriate for the shops. Madisson and Roxy followed to help him choose a look, both happy for a chance to get away from headquarters for a few hours of fun. Harry went back to the den and folded down into his recliner, taking off his shoes and putting his feet up with a tired sigh, ready to relax for the evening with his little family.

Chapter Text

Harry brought Daisy back upstairs after taking her from tutoring early, sending her off to change out of her good school clothes and into her play clothes she could get dirty outside. He promised her they would have a picnic out on the lawn for lunch, and he decided she didn’t need to go back to Teddy so Merlin could talk to him about the subject of his conversations with her.

Eggsy was already outside setting everything up, hoping Daisy would say more than three words to him today. She spoke only three the previous night, simply saying no thank you in response to his offer of helping her dry and brush her hair since Harry had been busy in his office during bath time.

Her hair dried rough overnight as a result, making it a little more difficult for Harry to do her hair in the morning.

It was the most she’d spoken to him in a whole month.

Going outside, holding Daisy’s hand and carrying Jason on his hip, Harry glanced around before seeing Eggsy set up and waiting under a large shade tree. He heard Daisy let out a quiet breath, but she didn’t voice any displeasure when she saw Eggsy so he was going to count that as a plus.

Daisy surprised both of them when she willingly chose to sit down closer to Eggsy than either expected, Eggsy thought at most she would begrudgingly sit across from him. Harry gave him a little bit of a smile as he bent to put Jason down in his little seat between Eggsy and where he would sit across from him closest to the tree.

While plating for everyone, Eggsy stayed quiet; concentrating on his duties. He was a little surprised when Daisy thanked him as he passed her plate over to her and helped her set it down so she wouldn’t spill anything.

“Did you have a good morning with Teddy today?” he asked.

Daisy shrugged. “He really doesn’t like you. He’s kind of an arse about it.”

Eggsy stopped himself from rolling his eyes. He wasn’t Teddy’s biggest fan but didn’t voice his dislike. “Well, we all don’t absolutely have to like each other so I guess that’s fine.”

“But, isn’t it rude to just hate someone?”

“Without valid reason, yes, it’s alright to dislike someone who is abusive and horrible. For instance, we dislike Dean because he was a terrible person.” Harry told her.

Daisy’s face turned sour at the mention of his name. “I hate him and my mummy both, really bad.”

Eggsy nodded, taking a sip of soda. “Very much,” he agreed.

“Uncle Hammy says they went to Hell. I wanna go to Heaven.”

Harry wasn’t religious and Eggsy despised religion, but neither tried to stop Daisy from exploring her own beliefs and views. They trusted Merlin to teach her fairly and not shove his own beliefs on her; she even attended church services with him and Jason in the past few weeks.

“Keep being a sweet person and care for others, you’ll surely be rewarded in your afterlife.”

“How do I care about people?”

Harry smiled a little bit. “You love them, even with their flaws and mistakes they’ve made in their life, especially if they have trouble correcting those mistakes. You love them unconditionally and with all your heart.”

“What if they’re mean to me or just really, really bad like how Dean was?”

Eggsy knew that was aimed toward him, but he didn’t know what to say. He wanted to get mad, but knew her feelings also mattered and she was still learning how to sort and control her emotions. She was only seven, she likely wouldn’t hate him literally forever despite her declaration to do so.

“Even them, Flower,” Harry told her, tone still gentle but firm enough she knew he was serious. “No matter what, we love each other unconditionally, alright? You can be mad or just upset with them, but let’s try to love them still.”

Daisy sighed, nibbling at her food for a moment. “But do I gotta forgive Dean for hurting me so much?”

Harry shook his head, brushing her hair back out of her face. “No, you don’t have to forgive them for hurting you, if you don’t want to. But, please, still love your big brother. He’s worked so very hard to get through his troubles and he’s done so good defeating all the bad things. He’s certainly learned from his mistakes.”

Daisy looked over at Eggsy, giving him a bit of a hard stare, then sighed and her shoulders slumped slightly. “Fine, but I’m still very mad at you. I’ll tell Daddy to spank you every night if you do it again.”

Eggsy wasn’t going to blush, hoping it was just an innocent statement, but his mind immediately went to the gutter and he bit back a grin and coughed out a chuckle.

“What do you know about Daddy spanking me?” he asked.

She shrugged, resuming eating normally. “Everyone knows Daddy spanks you a lot, probably every day. Why do you like getting spanks so much?”

Instead of responding, Eggsy just died a little internally from the embarrassment. He couldn’t help laughing hopelessly, putting his head down in his hands. Harry was less than amused though. He was angry that someone had discussed his and Eggsy’s sex life with his seven year old child.

“Who told you about that stuff, sweetheart?” he asked, trying to keep the anger out of his tone; not wanting to get angry with her at all, she had done no wrong.

“Teddy says your penguins talk about it all the time. He says they’re jealous ‘cause they want you to spank them instead. But, spanking really hurts so I dunno why he thinks that.”

Letting out a slow breath to calm himself, Harry tamed his immediate reaction to get angry. “Well, don’t worry about what he says. Teddy won’t be your tutor anymore after today. We’re going to find you someone better, alright?”

Daisy nodded, still confused but glad she wouldn’t have to be around Teddy anymore. She truly hated him but was too afraid of him to tell Harry anything.

#####

By the time the picnic came to an end, Teddy was out of existence; beaten and shot dead when Merlin found horrible, disgusting pictures of children on his Kingsman issued tablet and phone. He didn’t believe in giving pedophiles a fair trial, especially when there was indisputable evidence of their crimes. He believed the world would be better off without those monsters.

Another body buried under their headquarters wasn’t going to harm anything, Teddy added to Merlin’s collection of Kingsman enemies he had amassed over the years.

Harry immediately took Daisy to be examined when Merlin showed him the pictures Teddy had of her and the other helpless children; having to inform a few parents living at headquarters to bring their children to be examined as well.

Nobody said anything against Merlin’s choice of action against Teddy. Nobody wanted that kind of scum to breathe air, even as a captive inmate. The revelation brought more women down to learn how to use a simple firearm, needing to protect their little ones.

The aftermath of the revelation more children were scheduled for therapy. Harry ordered another background check on everyone in the organization; sending an alert to the other branches.

When things calmed down a little bit, home life returned back to normal slowly. Daisy eventually forgot about her anger and her love for Eggsy returned, she rarely left his side and always wanted him to sit in during bedtime stories, often falling asleep tucked up beside him making it nearly impossible for him to leave the room.

Harry was glad to see them finally getting along again. He just wanted his family to be happy and love each other unconditionally.

#####

Eggsy woke from an unexpected afternoon nap, Jason lay still sleeping beside him; rolled over on his stomach with his butt stuck up in the air. He couldn’t help smiling at the sight and gave Jason’s head a gentle kiss before carefully rolling out of bed to finish his daily chores, pulling the door almost closed so the noise would be muffled and not wake Jason.

Hearing Harry in the den, he went to find him. Harry sat in his recliner speaking again with the family planning agent. The agency found a suitable surrogate that fit Harry’s specifications, which weren’t a lot, and came to let him sign more paperwork.

“Oh, I didn’t know we had a guest,” Eggsy spoke up as he came in, putting on a smile. “Can I get anyone a drink or maybe a snack?”

“No thank you,” she replied. “I assume you’re Gary?”

Eggsy nodded, sitting at Harry’s feet. “And you?”

“Marie, I’m with Family Planning in London. I’ve found your perfect surrogate.”

Harry tried to interrupt, send Eggsy to the kitchen before she said too much, but he wasn’t quick enough. Eggsy let out a chuckle, looking up at her confused.

“What surrogate?” he asked with a snort.

Harry let out a sigh, giving the signed paperwork back to Marie; thanking and excusing her. He and Eggsy had some things they needed to discuss and he did not need her witnessing one of Eggsy’s dramatic fits. Marie thanked them, wished them a pleasant rest of their day, and stood to leave and return to London.

“How about a snack while we talk, hmm?” Harry nudged Eggsy to stand as he got to his feet, guiding Eggsy toward the kitchen knowing that would be the best place to break to him. He was less likely to find something to throw and break in his kitchen.

Eggsy set to work preparing finger foods. “So, what are we using a surrogate for?” he asked. He knew about surrogacy, but he didn’t know much other than women carrying pregnancies for a woman who can’t.

Harry shrugged, leaning on the counter. “Well, I was hoping to surprise you when I knew for sure it worked, but I’ve decided I want a biological child as well. Daisy’s made fatherhood so enjoyable and something I never expected, and I’d like to add another child to our family.”

Still expecting an outburst, Eggsy stopped cutting food and stared at him shocked for a moment, Harry was caught off guard when Eggsy let out a loud, happy squeal and had a moment of pure excitement, jumping up and down before Harry grabbed hold to keep him from falling over in his excitement.

“A bubby, Harry, really?!” Eggsy squealed out, grinning wide and squirming in Harry’s arms. “Our own little bub?”

Harry nodded, chuckling. Eggsy surprised him with a happy kiss before squirming out of his hold to run off and tell his friends the happy news. Harry let out a relieved groan when the front door shut, glad that Eggsy had such a great reaction to what he tried to be a surprise.

He could almost swear he heard Eggsy and the girls down the hall, all squealing and screaming excitedly about the news.

Chapter Text

After numerous meetings and discussion with the parents of the school children, Harry and Merlin decided their idea for giving the children a proper education was probably not the best. Sure they could put on the curriculum more than what the kids would learn in either public or private school, but neither needed the added stress and headaches that came with running a school and a group of spies simultaneously.

So, they talked together and decided to offer to help parents with tuition if they enrolled their child/children in a private school just outside the city. Harry would even provide buses to transport the children so the parents wouldn’t have to worry about how to get their children to the school.

Eggsy even offered to be one of the bus drivers, wanting to make sure everyone got off to school safely.

Wanting Daisy to have a chance at making a few more friends, Harry enrolled her hoping she would continue to thrive in her education. Yes, she was still a little behind her peers, but she was slowly making progress to catch up to them. She would probably graduate a year later than her peers, but Harry wasn’t stressed on that.

Of course with her being behind in educational development, school so called experts decided she would be better off in the Remedial class instead of the regular classes with the other Kingsman children. Harry didn’t like that at all though and continued looking for a private tutor that would be better suited for her educational needs.

Daisy hated her classroom. The other kids were often rowdy and misbehaved nearly constantly. Their behavior made it harder for her to concentrate on her school work every day. She hated the plaid jumper dress uniform she was required to wear, which was different from the other seven year old girls; it singled her out as a Remedial student and opened her up to be teased.

Friday afternoon Eggsy and the other Kingsman bus driver waited for the final bell of the day to dismiss the students, looking over his roll call clipboard again, triple checking that his morning roll call would match his afternoon roll call. He had to make sure all of his kids were loaded on the right bus. If a kid went to the other bus by mistake, it wouldn’t be a big deal but he would have to communicate with the other driver to make sure they were on the other bus before they could leave the school.

When he saw a few kids starting to come outside he opened the bus door and picked up his pen to start marking off names as they boarded. After a few minutes kids started coming onto the bus, giving Eggsy their name as requested so he could mark them off.

He spotted Daisy in the line coming onto the bus, taking the names of the kids in line ahead of her and noticing she was in another sour mood as she stomped up the steps up into the bus.

“Wait a second, Flower,” he told her, tugging her to stand aside and let the other kids load up. He finished with marking names, not missing any children, then put the clipboard away with a sigh, hugging Daisy into his arms for a firm hug.

“What’s wrong, baby?” he asked.

Daisy shrugged, putting her head down on his shoulder with a sigh.

“Just having a rough day then?”

She nodded, snuffling. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what she felt or why, she just knew she was in a sour mood and wanted Harry.

Eggsy kissed her temple then pulled back, brushing her hair out of her face. “Alright, go on and sit down so we can all go home. I’ll tell Daddy to meet us outside, okay?”

Daisy nodded again, scrubbing at her nose, and went to sit in her assigned seat with her bus buddy; the younger kids teamed up with an older kid so they wouldn’t be lost. Daisy liked Trisha; sure her all black clothes and dark make-up was a little scary looking, but Trisha was always so nice and caring toward Daisy and often took up for her at school if she saw something happening.

When all the kids were seated properly and mostly settled, Eggsy pulled off from the curb and followed the other bus driver. They had a good hour to drive back home, and with dark clouds forming in the sky off in the direction of home, it was going to be a little stressful of a ride.

Half way home rain started to fall, getting a little rough in a couple places. He had to tell the kids to put up the bus windows when the rain got heavier, squinting to see through the rain pelting the windshield and the wipers running fast.

“What if lightning hits the bus?” a little voice asked from the back of the bus. “Will we burn up and die?”

“No, bub,” Eggsy told the scared, little boy. “We’d only be in danger if it hit the engine and that rarely ever happens. We’re just fine.”

He glanced up at the rearview mirror seeing the little boy slump back in his seat with a little bit of a relieved huff and smiled then turned his attention back to the road ahead.

For the rest of the ride home the kids were quiet, all of them were tired and just wanted to get home so they could relax before having to start on any homework they were assigned. Instead of meeting the buses in front of headquarters like the parents usually would, since the rain still fell heavy, the buses were unloaded in the underground parking garage.

Again Eggsy did a roll call to make sure everyone got off the bus, then got out of his seat and checked every passenger seat just in case a child had fallen asleep on the ride home. He wasn’t going to risk leaving anyone on the bus.

Finding the bus empty Eggsy finally stepped out, seeing Harry had Daisy and was hugging her as she told him about her awful day at school. Harry sighed and scooped her up as he stood, seeing Eggsy coming up, putting her legs around his middle to more easily carry her as she hugged his neck more firmly.

“Would you like to come up to my office with me until I’m done with my work for the day?” he asked her, following Eggsy to the elevators. Daisy nodded and snuffled, releasing Harry’s neck long enough to let Eggsy take her backpack; hugging his neck again and hiding her face.

She was tired and having a bad day just made her mood worse. She needed cuddle time with her daddy so she could feel better again. Cuddles always helped her feel better and Harry was always willing to give plenty to her.

Eggsy got off on their floor, giving each a kiss before the doors closed to take them upstairs to Harry’s office. He made his way back home, taking off his sneakers at the door and going to Daisy’s bedroom to put her backpack up; he had to gather her homework though and look for any paperwork or notes sent home from her teacher or the aid she was given for her class.

He found the typical reading homework and a bit of maths she had to finish, nothing that would be too hard or take too long. She wouldn’t have to be in a rush to finish it tonight, he would help her with it Saturday afternoon while Harry and Merlin were away on a quick business outing.

Eggsy took the homework and put it in the pantry so he would remember it then set to preparing dinner. He wanted to surprise everyone and make something everyone liked that was familiar and a little comforting since Daisy had a rough day.

#####

Friday evening after dinner and baths, Daisy wanted to stay up a little longer; making herself comfortable in Harry’s lap under a soft blanket. Harry didn’t pay too much attention to the television, holding onto his favorite girl and rocking the recliner slowly; head back and eye closed peacefully. He cherished the time he got to spend cuddling with Daisy so much, it made his excitement for another baby rise. He couldn’t wait to have another baby join their family.

On the couch Eggsy and Tyler sat hunched together over a handheld video game Tyler was excited to show him. Eggsy missed his nephews, Kate decided to keep them at a distance while he went through the rehab for the meth.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him to get sober again, and was eternally proud of him for getting sober again. She just didn’t want to expose her sons to it with them being so young and impressionable. Eggsy completely agreed with her decision, he definitely was not a good role model for that month.

But, with him being sober and everyone always encouraging him to stay sober, Kate let them come back around. Tyler spent the night at their suite often, Eggsy quickly became one of his favorite people, feeling more welcome and cared for with the three adults. He even was allowed to hang out with Merlin in his cave on weekends, he wanted to learn all the technical things Merlin knew how to do.

For now though, everyone was going to enjoy the quiet evening together and the coming weekend.

Chapter Text

Daisy being enrolled in the private school only lasted two months before she came home one afternoon distraught and begging Harry to let her go back to a private tutor. Her teacher and aide had been horrible to her that day and she didn’t want to go back to the school and be around them. Not wanting her to suffer in her education because of horrible adults, Harry gave Liam a promotion and doubled his pay if he agreed to be Daisy’s tutor and nanny to her and Jason.

Liam agreed, not because he would be making more money; he loved Daisy and hated seeing her struggle so much. He would be the best fit for teaching her.

Eggsy woke early to prepare breakfast for everyone and be able to get out the door in time to drive the bus of kids to school, he still enjoyed his added daily task; he wanted to always make sure all the kids got to school on time and safely.

While mixing eggs to scramble, adding a bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper, he didn’t hear Harry coming up behind him and was a little startled when Harry’s arms wrapped around his middle and held him snug. He smiled when Harry leaned down and nuzzled on his neck and shoulder, rubbing with his beard to make Eggsy squirm.

“When you’ve returned from dropping everyone off, I want you to come home and dress skimpy for me then wait for me in bed. We’ve slacked in your training for too long.”

“Yes, Daddy,” he replied smiling. “Do you want anything specific?”

Harry smiled, giving Eggsy’s shoulder a playful nip. “Something red, it looks so good on you with your tan.”

He kissed Eggsy then stepped back to go wake Daisy and get her ready to meet Liam. She started her day a little later than she would have at the private school, but Harry still wanted her to have a healthy sleep schedule and he knew waking and going to bed at the same time daily would be the best way to achieve that.

As Eggsy was placing bacon and sausages to cook, Tyler shuffled his way into the kitchen. Eggsy glanced over and greeted him.

“How’d you sleep, bub?” he asked, putting an arm around Tyler when he hugged around his waist.

“Kinda bad, I had some bad dreams that kept waking me up.”

Eggsy frowned, running his fingers through Tyler’s long hair soothingly. Tyler’s biological father was one of Dean’s cronies and also tortured his sons with the Jinkles monster; both boys had horrible nightmares about the monster.

“You know you can come wake me up when you have those dreams. I’ll come bunk with you and keep you safe, alright?”

Tyler shrugged, yawning and sighing; laying his head against Eggsy’s side. Eggsy held him while he cooked knowing that sometimes Tyler just needed a hug and to be held until he felt better.

By the time everyone woke and made their way to the dining room, Eggsy had breakfast plated and ready to serve. He had a couple extra plates, Kate and Scottie came to join them for breakfast a couple times every week; he knew she was coming over to check on Tyler more than she was coming for a visit with family. He understood her need to check on her son, he would do the same thing, so he didn’t get upset with her for it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her son to be around Eggsy, he was continuously proving he was serious about getting past his troubles and she was extremely proud of him. She was just a worried mother given their past with her ex-husband.

#####

Eggsy knelt in the bedroom waiting for Harry wearing the crimson red corset and matching underwear and black stockings Harry set out for him. He was a little curious when he came in and saw a video camera on a tripod, but he found himself excited at the thought of their playtime being on video.

Waiting an hour gave Eggsy enough time to slip down into that peaceful headspace. Harry came in and smiled at the sight of his boy kneeling in wait and slipping down. Subspace would definitely help Eggsy stay calm enough Harry could record their playtime.

He was given an offer of money if he recorded and gave the video to another Dom who wanted to use Eggsy as an example for his own sub who was having a little trouble in training. Eggsy would take any excuse to show off for Harry.

#####

Saturday evening Eggsy and his group of friends went out for dinner together. Eggsy was tempted by the drink menu, he felt confident enough he could order a beer and not overdo anything. But, just to be on the safe side he asked Roxy to not let him order a second beer; he would drink a soda or water after the one beer. Roxy agreed, she was not going to let Eggsy fall back into his old habits; she wasn’t going to lose another friend to drugs and alcohol again.

As an extra backup, he wore a hidden camera and an earpiece connected to Harry and Merlin. They would be able to stop him for sure, Harry especially knew which tone to use on him when he misbehaved.

So far Eggsy was doing good, sipping slowly on the beer, enjoying the time with his friends. All of them proved their loyalty to him with their constant support through rehab and after for his recovery. None of them would have turned their back on him for his troubles, they knew that wouldn’t help anything.

By the time the main entrees came, Eggsy still had most of the beer left in the glass and he ordered a soda to better discipline himself against guzzling it down quickly. The few gentle praises Harry gave him through the earpiece just made him feel fuzzy all over and he had the need to behave for him.

While they ate, everyone laughed and talked about happenings that they had since the last time all of them were able to go out together. They all needed the break from headquarters to recharge and reconnect with each other. They earned the chance to go out and not have to worry about work related anything.

#####

Still wanting time away from headquarters and nobody ready to return home, they checked into a hotel for the weekend to have fun. Their room was a full suite with two beds, a huge bathroom with a hot tub and bathtub, walk in shower. The walls and counters were all marble and expensive looking.

Not feeling any shame whatsoever, figuring all of them had seen him naked at some point, Eggsy quickly disrobed and got into the hot tub. The others joined him, but stayed in their underwear; not as carefree about nudity as he was.

Liam ordered snacks and tea from room service, Eggsy was getting hyper so he needed something to calm him down again. Liam was the always responsible friend, the voice of reason and able to keep his head in excitement.

Spending a couple hours in the hot tub relaxed everyone. When they got out, Eggsy put on fresh underwear, choosing a pair of boxers at Harry’s insistence, and his favorite oversized shirt. He and Liam would bunk together on one bed, Roxy and Madisson on the other, and John drew the short straw and was on a fold out mattress.

After everyone was settled, Eggsy looked for a movie they would all enjoy, listening to Harry through the earpiece reading to Daisy before bed. Harry’s soft voice in his ear helped him relax more and gave him that soft fuzzy feeling all over, making him feel warmth.

He didn’t realize he was smiling and drifting off until Liam shook him back to reality.

“You alright?”

Eggsy blinked a moment and shook the cobwebs out of his mind, focusing on Liam and the room. “Yeah, just spaced. I’m good.”

“You really need ADHD meds,” Liam snickered at him, taking the remote. “You fade out way too much.”

“Is it that bad really?”

“It’s definitely noticeable,” Roxy spoke up, texting someone on her personal phone.

Eggsy looked around at them then shrugged and filed it off to discuss with Harry when they returned home. He didn’t see anything wrong about him drifting off into his thoughts, it wasn’t harming him so he didn’t think he absolutely needed to take medication for it.

He knew Harry would put him in the right direction though and not suggest something that wouldn’t be beneficial to him.

Chapter Text

Harry left Medical following Eggsy and Merlin. Eggsy took a nasty fall doing his daily training duties with a few of his fellow agents, breaking his ulna and radius bones and dislocating his shoulder. Harry had pain medication and an antidepressant Pam wanted Eggsy to try for a while; he needed a mood stablizer to help calm him down.

Eggsy didn’t want to start taking medication regularly, he hated medication and would rather try the holistic route despite Harry’s extreme disapproval of the practice. It took a little while for Harry to not completely disregard it and not speak ill of it when Eggsy did take the holistic route for little things.

In the elevator, Eggsy tucked up to Harry’s side putting his head down on Harry’s shoulder and sighing when he felt Merlin’s hand soothingly on his back.

Harry held him close, kissing his head. “When you get home, I want you to actually take these meds, understood?”

Eggsy wanted to protest, but that tone was back in Harry’s voice and he was powerless to disobey. “Yes,” he sighed, pouting. He was in pain and didn’t care if he sounded like a wounded child. He just wanted to be held until he was healed.

When they got to the suite, Harry sent Eggsy and Merlin to the bedroom while he prepared a light lunch so Eggsy could eat and take the meds. Eggsy let Merlin help him out of his gym clothes and into his t-shirt, not used to Merlin undressing him but accepting. They were experimenting with Merlin performing some of Harry’s duties and so far it was easy going, Eggsy didn’t argue about the little every day tasks but some he would only accept Harry.

After making sure Eggsy was comfortable and settled, sitting up against the headboard to eat, Merlin took off his sweater and started unbuttoning his dress shirt, flicking his tie to Eggsy so he had something to fidget with while he waited.

As Merlin came out of the bathroom and sat with Eggsy in bed, Harry came in with snacks and drinks. He put the tray over Eggsy’s lap so he could put on comfortable lounge clothes and join them in bed, hearing the little sad noise Eggsy let out. Eggsy was unable to undress Harry with his arm casted and his other shoulder braced up.

“Come now, none of those noises,” Merlin tried to soothe Eggsy, tucking Eggsy’s head on his shoulder and giving him careful scritches. “Be a good boy.”

Eggsy continued to pout until Harry sat with them and put the tray over his own lap so he could feed Eggsy. He leaned and laid on Harry’s shoulder, having more comfort from his Daddy while he was hurting so much.

“Will you be good and take your medicine or should I disguise it in your food?”

That made Eggsy whine and shake his head. “Don’t hide it. I won’t eat if I suspect there’s something in it that doesn’t belong.”

Harry nodded, picking up the two pills set aside on the tray and holding them up to Eggsy’s lips. “Alright, be good for me then.”

Eggsy sneered at the pills but took them, his need to obey and be good overpowering his dissatisfaction at the medication. Harry just knew how to use a certain tone to make him need to obey and be good for him. Eggsy loved being the good, obedient sub for both his Doms but sometimes he was just in a foul mood.

“Good boy, thank you.” Harry praised, picking up a stuffed olive and offering it to Eggsy’s lips.

Eggsy sighed and took the olive into his mouth, laying his head on Harry’s shoulder and reaching to hold Merlin’s hand needing physical contact with both his Doms while he hurt so much. Their touch made the pains bearable. Made the pain fade away.

#####

With his shoulder in a sling for a couple weeks, Eggsy needed help in the kitchen. He could do easy tasks with a casted arm, still able to use his fingers to grip and hold things, but if he needed two hands, he had to rely on Harry.

Being in his kitchen always calmed Eggsy, his kitchen was his happy place; somewhere he could relax and unwind from a busy, rough day. Somewhere he could control what happened and how everything was put away.

While Harry chopped and diced vegetables for taco salads, Eggsy stood at the stove browning ground beef and cooking pieces of chicken. In the oven he had cake keeping warm for dessert, wanting to surprise Merlin for his upcoming birthday.

Merlin didn’t help in the kitchen this time, Eggsy wouldn’t tell him why though; so he stayed in the den with the kids reading through emails while ignoring the annoying kid’s show on TV. He had Jason sat between his knees with a toy to keep him contained and away from Daisy and Scottie playing a little rough with each other.

“No pillow fights,” he told the two, seeing Daisy grab up a throw pillow and about to smack Scottie with it. “That’s an outside activity, you’ll break something in here.”

Daisy paused for a moment, considering, then swung the pillow when Merlin glanced down at his phone again; knocking Scottie backward and making him trip and fall to the floor.

“Daisy Elise!” Merlin shouted, getting to his feet quickly when Scottie tripped into the end table and knocked over an expensive lamp; it fell to the floor and broke. “What did I just tell you?”

Hearing Merlin shout at Daisy, Harry came in worried. He saw Merlin lift Scottie and put him on the couch out of the way of the broken glass, and Daisy standing still holding the pillow in her hands looking too guilty as Merlin crouched to pick up the broken pieces.

“Daisy, sweetheart, what did you do?”

She turned to him, eyes wide and scared; not used to Merlin shouting at her. “I didn’t mean to, Daddy. I didn’t know.”

He saw Merlin huff and turn to look back at her, surprised she would outright lie.

“I told you not to have a pillow fight indoors, Daisy,” Merlin told her, reminding himself to keep his tone calm. “I told you that you would break something.”

Harry stepped up and eased the pillow out of her hold, putting it on the couch and crouching down to her level with a sigh. “Did you disobey Uncle Hamish, sweetheart?”

Daisy frowned, fidgeting. “I’m sorry, Uncle Hammy,” she mumbled, glancing over at him.

Standing with the broken pieces, Merlin sighed, shoulders relaxing again. “Next time, please listen baby girl, alright?”

She nodded and turned back to Harry sighing. Harry grabbed her into a hug, squeezing firm and kissing her temple. “Go on and play in your room until supper is ready.”

Without protest, hoping she wouldn’t be in too much trouble for breaking the lamp, Daisy turned and left the den to her bedroom. Harry stood and followed Merlin back to the kitchen, Merlin threw away the broken glass pieces and Harry went back to helping prepare dinner.

“Everything alright?” Eggsy asked.

“Yes, she just got a little too rough and broke a lamp. Nobody was hurt so getting mad at her would’ve been useless. I’ll have a replacement before she has time to forget it even happened.”

Eggsy looked back as Merlin crossed through again to return to the den then looked up at Harry again frowning. “He’s never yelled at her in that tone.”

“Well, he had just told her she would break something having a pillow fight indoors.”

“Yeah, but was it really necessary yelling at her like that? I thought we’d only yell if they were about to do something and we were shouting to make them stop.”

Harry nodded, stopping a moment to lean and give him a kiss. “We’ll all discuss things tonight after they’re in bed. She won’t be punished further than going to her room to play by herself tonight, no more yelling, I promise.”

Eggsy sighed and went back to his task with the meats, worried that Merlin was still going to be angry at Daisy for disobeying him. Harry wasn’t going to let Merlin stay mad though. He wouldn’t let Merlin punish her more than he already had knowing that going to her room to play alone was punishment enough when the boys were over for the evening.

Chapter Text

After being told that Daisy had misbehaved and was unnecessarily mean to another kid, Harry knew he had to take her aside and correct her behavior before it got worse. He wasn’t going to raise Daisy to be a bully, even if he felt some of the kids deserved it for the way they treated her; but he had already relocated those kids.

Taking her back home, Harry led her to her bedroom and sat her down on her bed; crouching in front of her.

“You’re going to tell me why you’ve become so mean. You know you’re not supposed to behave like a bully, do you remember how the other children made you feel so awful all the time, how you were always sad because they wouldn’t let anyone play with you? You being a bully now is making everyone else feel like that.”

“Why can’t I be mean back since they were mean to me?”

Harry sighed and shook his head, reaching up and tucking Daisy’s hair out of her face. “Because the ones who were mean to you aren’t here anymore to treat you so horribly, you’re taking your anger out on people who were never mean to you at all.”

Daisy frowned at him, hoping she could weasel her way out of trouble by pouting. But, Harry saw through the facade, he expected it because she tried it too often.

“I think until you learn how to be nice and behave properly, you should stay home and play by yourself here in your room. You’re not allowed to go play outside, not even during Physical Education time with Liam; you’ll go to the gymnasium and run laps by yourself. You can’t go visit with Scottie and Kate either. You’ll come home after tutoring and stay in your room except to eat supper, then you’ll take a bath and straight to bed, understood?”

“What about bedtime stories?”

Knowing storytime was one of her favorite activities, Harry considered for a moment; letting out a slight, slow breath. “I think we should take storytime away until you learn to behave as well.”

She huffed at him, finally letting tears fall. “No, please,” she almost begged. “I’ll be really good, I promise.”

Now getting seeming to get through to her, Harry decided he needed to stand firm on her punishment so she learned from the mistake she made. “One whole month, no bedtime stories. You’ll just have to fall asleep on your own.”

Daisy cried harder as Harry stood and started taking down her collection of storybooks in the little bookcase in the corner of her room. Harry wanted to break and take back the punishment, her devastated sobs threatening to break his resolve, but ignored that nagging feeling knowing if he wasn’t firm in correcting her behavior, it would just get worse as time went on.

Hearing the commotion as he came home, Merlin came in to find out what was going on. He saw Harry collecting Daisy’s books and Daisy on her bed crying her eyes out and begging Harry to stop.

“What’s all this?” he asked, instinctively stepping up to comfort Daisy.

Harry sighed and gave him an armload of books. “She’s becoming a bully so she’s lost some privileges, no bedtime stories for a month and she’s to stay in her room until she proves she can behave better.”

Merlin frowned at him then looked over at Daisy, her little face red and tears streaming. “You’re going to have to learn somehow, sweetheart. When you misbehave there’s going to be a punishment, I’m sorry. You do deserve this.”

Both with their arms full of Daisy’s books, Merlin led Harry out of the bedroom. Daisy inhaled deep and let out an ear piercing scream. Harry dropped the books on the couch in the front room and turned back down the hallway, ignoring Daisy screaming and slammed her door shut with enough force she would know he was very angry with her. She continued to scream and cry hoping that would get her books back eventually.

Harry just activated the soundproofing in her bedroom so they wouldn’t have to listen to her screaming while they packed the books away in the attic.

When that task was done, Merlin went to find Jason, last seeing him in the den with their three pets. He couldn’t help smiling when he saw Jason lounged on the couch, his head on Lulu’s back as she laid peacefully protecting him, and his legs over JB. Pipi laid wedged between him and the back of the couch sleeping while he watched a cartoon with his juice cup.

“Are you being good?” Merlin asked, stepping up and bending to kiss Jason’s head.

Jason nodded, grinning up at him; patting Pipi’s side. “Dud,” he mumbled. “Aminals dud, too.”

Merlin chuckled, giving his head another kiss. “Alright, you lie here and watch cartoons while Da and Harry work, alright?”

Jason nodded again and mumbled a reply with his sippy cup in his mouth again, petting on Pipi content to lie there with the animals and be quiet.

Merlin found his laptop and sat on the other end of the couch to get his work done for the day. He was done in his cave but he still had a few things to complete that he could do at home just as easy.

#####

Later when Eggsy came home, he was surprised to find out about Daisy’s behavior and punishment. Of course he felt taking away her favorite evening activity was too harsh, he wasn’t a very good authoritarian and knew he would have given in to her tears, but he had to trust Harry to know how to handle her discipline.

Daisy’s rotten attitude during dinner didn’t help get her out of trouble either. She sat glaring at everyone as she moodily stabbed at her food and ate roughly. Harry didn’t call attention to it there at the table, wanting her to eat dinner and knowing if he got onto her there she would stomp away without finishing.

He did let her have her bath toys during bathtime, not wanting to take every activity away from her, feeling that would be too harsh just yet. She didn’t play long, too upset to play, and was put to bed after Harry brushed and blow dried her hair.

Again, Harry wanted to cave and give her back her storytime, but he knew he had to see the punishment through so she learned she couldn’t behave like a bully just because she was bullied.

When he came into the bedroom to change into night clothes, he saw Eggsy dressed skimpy and waiting for him tie up with the ropes again. He smiled before he knew he had that reaction to seeing his boy ready for him. The large red gift bow on Eggsy’s ass told Harry that Merlin was involved in the surprise for him, being the one who tied Eggsy up for him to use as he pleased.

“Where’s Uncle?” he asked stepping up, hands immediately going to rub and caress his precious love.

“Hot tub, he wants to relax for a while so you have me all to yourself.”

Almost salivating, itching to have Eggsy writhing under him again, Harry took the bow off his ass, putting it at the small of his back, and went down to his knees; hands rubbing Eggsy’s thighs and round ass. Eggsy squirmed as Harry reached to pull down his silky panties, squirming his hips up toward Harry and wiggling his ass playfully.

“Down,” Harry told him, giving him a firm pop on one ass cheek. “Daddy decides when.”

Eggsy just smiled goofily and laid his hips down again, wiggling his ass again. Harry couldn’t resist leaning down and kissing one round, firm globe; his other hand reaching under to Eggsy’s front, feeling the cage on Eggsy’s hardening dick.

“Has Daddy said you may?” he teased, rubbing at Eggsy’s balls, giving him a careful squeeze.

“No,” Eggsy replied grinning cheekily. “I guess you’ll just have to swat me up good.”

Liking that idea, Harry stood and started to untie the ropes; it would be easier to mark up and play with his boy with his arms and legs free to move. Eggsy squirmed with anticipation as Harry undressed and went to collect a few toys, spreading his legs obediently when he felt Harryy grab at his ankle to secure his feet to the spreader bar. He would have no choice but to keep his legs open and his ass accessible to Harry.

Wanting to savor the time, Harry started slow; leaning down to lick and prod at Eggsy’s willing hole, rubbing and scratching with his beard as Eggsy liked so much and enjoying the little sounds coming from his boy as he fought back his arousal.

Harry was going to use his obedient boy thoroughly and rough, needing to let out some of his anger threatening to spill over. Eggsy was his stress relief and he was long overdue for a bit of rough treatment.

Eggsy was all too happy to just lie there and let Harry use his body for his own satisfaction.

#####

In the morning Daisy was still in an awful mood, and now feeling worse because she was up so late crying and unable to fall asleep without at least one bedtime story. She was tired and angry, again glaring and huffing as she ate breakfast; almost glaring daggers at Harry.

He didn’t call attention to her knowing she would get over being so mad and knowing he could possibly make her behave worse if he got onto her for being mad. He instead read through the morning paper while they ate in relative silence, everyone was a little too tired to keep up much conversation just yet.

Eggsy and Jason seemed to be the only two in decent moods, Jason was just a happy toddler and his good mood easily rubbed off on Eggsy. He was also happy that the cast on his arm was getting cut off in a little while, he was ready to be free of the plaster finally.

“What are you doing after lunch, sweet boy?” Harry asked, glancing up at him.

Eggsy shrugged, tearing up another sausage patty for Jason. “I believe today is my turn with Roxy for Phys Ed with the runts. I’ll be a good hour doing that, if you’re needing me for something.”

Harry nodded. “I need a pretty face to butter up a client, I’m looking at purchasing a night club.”

Eggsy turned to look at Merlin, seeing he wasn’t surprised by what Harry told him; he already knew Harry’s plans. “Okay, but I’m not so sure about the pretty face bit.”

“Nonsense, you’re beautiful; perfect for giving those sweet eyes to someone to get your way.”

Merlin spoke up at the same time. “You can easily do it, Eggsy. You’re still incredibly good looking.”

Eggsy let out an unsure noise, disagreeing with them; still refusing to look at his reflection at all, but didin’t protest. He had to trust Harry to know what he was doing and trust that neither of his Doms would set him up to be hurt in any way.

Chapter Text

Harry and Merlin survived the month and a half long punishment for Daisy, she kept pushing them and misbehaving, getting more time added to her grounding. She didn’t like it but finally calmed down a little bit when Eggsy stepped in and got through to her that she absolutely needed to change her behavior and be nicer to others. She earned back her books after the agreed month, but in the extended time she was only allowed one story a week until her behavior improved.

The three adults agreed the punishment was fitting, Daisy didn’t enjoy any of it but they didn’t back down no matter how much she complained and cried.

Now allowed to play outside again, Eggsy watched her closely while leading the group of kids through some simple exercise; having them on the soccer field running back and forth for a few minutes before he divided them into teams to play a game of soccer. Roxy would be the coach for the other team.

From his office window, Harry could see the field. He watched the kids playing, smiling at their enthusiasm and joy.

Merlin coming in with a man interrupted his watching. He turned around and scooted up to his desk as the two settled into chairs, taking a folder of paperwork from the now former owner of the club Harry bought.

They just had to sign the last of the necessary paperwork before it was offically his club.

“I really appreciate you taking this place off my hands, I just can’t manage it anymore.”

Harry smiled, signing the paperwork and giving the folder back to the man. “Well, I do need a safe environment to let our boy have his fun without temptation of illegal fun.”

“The police will do spontaneous inspections, unannounced of course. As long as nothing illegal happens, you’ll be fine.”

“What about a dress code?” Merlin asked, looking between the two.

The man shook his head and shrugged. “I didn’t have one, it’s a Dom/sub establishment, dress however you like. Though I will advise enforcing towels to be placed if they’re not wearing any bottoms to cover their areas.”

“I think a relaxed dress code will work good enough. If we’re not too strict everyone will keep coming back and enjoy themselves. Worrying about rules is for work, not having fun.”

“Alright, also we should look at professional cleaning companies for the upkeep and sanitization.”

“If that’s all, then congrats, it’s all yours legally once these are notarized, which I’m off to do now.”

Merlin took a little tool out of his little bag of things he used often, stamping the paperwork with the notary stamp, and smiled. “There you are, done.”

The man looked up at Merlin a little surprised. “So you’re basically certified for everything,” he said with a slight grin. “I like you.”

Harry and Merlin both smiled, Merlin turned a little rosey; not sure how to take compliments. Harry was amused by his blushing.

With the paperwork finalized, Harry put the folder in his folio and stood to see the man out, thanking him and wishing him luck on his future endevors. Merlin stood to follow Harry, they wanted to go to the club and check everything out.

#####

After a couple weeks to renew the look of the club and bring in better products and real furniture, Harry’s club was now open again and ready for business.

Opening night Merlin and a few recruits worked behind the bar serving drinks to patrons. The London based agents acted as security for now, Harry would hire trained security and bouncers in a couple weeks.

Eggsy knelt at Harry’s feet, Harry sat in a lavish blue velvet chair; it matched Eggsy’s collar cushioning so he had to buy it. He sipped slowly on a drink while idly petting and scritching on Eggsy’s head on his lap.

Eggsy enjoyed the soft touch of his Daddy’s hand, it calmed him in the loud club and had him slowly slipping down. Harry wanted him to go down so he wasn’t focused on all the alcohol around him; Eggsy did have a drink but he mostly ignored it in favor of Harry’s touch.

Around them Doms and subs played together and enjoyed themselves in the safe environment that welcomed their lifestyle. Harry watched over the crowd to make sure everyone was being safe and none of the subs were being abused by their Dom. He wouldn’t tolerate abuse in his club.

After a while Merlin left the bar area, leaving the recruits to their more advanced skill of mixing drinks, and took his place beside Harry in his own blue chair. Eggsy moved to kneel between them but kept his head on Harry’s knee, slipping down farther when Merlin’s hand rubbed at the back of his neck.

“We should let the girls run the bar, they’re so much better than I am and they’re doing better getting drink orders than the men. Everyone seems to like their energy better.”

Harry nodded, only hearing Merlin over the music because they wore comms to be able to speak to each other without shouting their business. “Pretty faces do sell products better. But, I want someone constantly on watch at the bar if we have only women up there; just in case someone gets too inappropriate.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t let them have to fend for themselves against pigs.”

“I’m kind of surprised everything’s going so smoothly for opening night. I was expecting something to go wrong but everyone is behaving and we’re not out of anything yet, right?”

Merlin shook his head, going over his list of inventory; using the HUD in his glasses to find the constantly updating file of which drinks were being used and which ones were used more often. Kate had devised sensors to put on the shelves under the alcohol bottles to automatically tell the computers which ones were being used and how many bottles were in storage.

“Tequila and vodka seem to be crowd favorites so we may want to order a couple more cases monthly. Rum is doing well, also.”

“Good. We’ll order a variety of kegs to keep on tap as well.”

Wanting to check the rest of the club, Merlin excused himself and roamed around for a while. Harry brought Eggsy up into his lap, draping his legs over the arm of the chair and propping his feet up on a little table in front of the chairs. One arm wrapped around Eggsy to hold onto him and his other hand rested between Eggsy’s thighs rubbing slowly.

Eggsy let out a little snicker, floating happily and slipping farther and farther down, snuggling close to Harry and nuzzling on his scruffy beard giving his chin a little peck.

Harry felt like royalty in his cushy chair and his boy on his lap clad in a skimpy corset and thong sitting like an overgrown housecat. It told Harry he was going the right direction for his intentions.

#####

Eggsy woke snug between Harry and Merlin, relaxed and feeling peaceful. Harry was already awake, sitting up and working on a few things on his laptop; making sure all of his morning obligations were in order and he had everything he needed.

Merlin still laid snoring, one arm draped loose on Eggsy’s hip, mouth hung open.

The slow mornings were Eggsy’s favorite. He didn’t have to rush around and get breakfast cooked before sending Daisy off to tutoring, being Saturday he could relax a little while longer before starting his day.

When Harry felt him stirring he reached down and held onto Eggsy’s neck and rubbed slowly while he read over his notes and calendar reminders. He didn’t have to be in his office until after noon, he wanted to spend some time with his loves and take Daisy to a special outing to reward her improving behavior.

Sure he would have to work a little later to catch up and finish his daily tasks, but being needed on a Saturday when he was supposed to have time for his family, he gave himself the morning away from his office.

While he went through everything, Eggsy put his head on Harry’s lap and laid quietly to not disturb his concentration; still a little fuzzy from the previous night at the club. He got to show off his sub abilities and prance around scantily clad while getting attention from unsubbed Doms. He defintely enjoyed himself and surprised himself when he realized he didn’t need the old drugs to be happy and peaceful.

Chapter Text

Eggsy lounged on a beach chair, laid out under a wide parasol, between Harry and Merlin’s chairs. Merlin had Jason and Daisy in the ocean, playing in the shallow area close to the beach. Even though Daisy passed and completed her swimming lessons exceptionally, Harry and Merlin both watched the children as they played in the water.

Jason mostly stayed on the more stable bit of sand in ankle deep water, content to play and get dirty.

Harry glanced over at Eggsy, smiling at the sight of his fit, bronzed love in his little Speedo, sunning himself and enjoying the rare day off away from headquarters. Eggsy knew Harry was staring at him again, laying on his stomach facing toward the water so he could watch everyone and read quietly. He couldn’t resist swiveling his hips a little bit, flexing a few muscles to draw Harry’s attention to his round ass in the tight swimwear.

Harry couldn’t resist reaching over, snaking his fingers under the little bit of fabric and rubbing slowly as he turned his attention back to the water.

A loud crash frightened beachgoers all around. Jason was already running back to their spot terrified of the sudden, deafening sound. Merlin had to get up quickly and grab Daisy up to follow, not wanting Jason to get hurt running.

Eggsy sat up and caught Jason as he nearly jumped up and clinged to him, almost knocking him backward. Harry looked around for the source of the noise, seeing darkened storm clouds rolling over the city.

The heavens opened and rain poured down heavily by the time Merlin and Daisy made it up the beach to their spot.

“Best we stay put for a couple minutes, the carpark is going to be hell with everyone trying to leave all at once,” Merlin told them, taking Jason and sitting down.

Harry nodded, taking a large towel and wrapping Daisy to keep her warm while they waited for the crowd to thin out. “Wasn’t supposed to storm until tonight.”

“And that’s why we don’t always trust the weather casters, right?” Eggsy grinned at him, putting on a pair of shorts over his Speedo. “You taught me that one.”

He just smiled at the unamused look Harry gave him as he helped Daisy dry off and get some of the sand off so she could put on her shorts and flip flops.

After a few minutes of almost torrential downpour rain, the parking lot began to empty at a more careful pace. Eggsy quickly gathered his and Daisy’s beach bags, putting them on one shoulder and slinging Jason’s diaper bag over the other, getting the car keys ready.

He was going to run to their car and get the bags in then come around closer to their spot so Harry and Merlin could get in with the kids and not have to run so far in the pouring rain.

Getting the bags thrown into the trunk, Eggsy got in and prepared to pull out of the parking spot. Going with the flow of traffic he would have to exit the lot then circle back to the entrance to pick up the others. He hated driving in thick traffic and horrible weather, it made him nervous, but he managed to circle around and pull up close enough that the others could get in the car.

Merlin hurried into the back seat, working to get Jason strapped into his carseat. Harry let Daisy sit between him and Eggsy, the new cabs fitted with bench seats to transport more agents at a time. He didn’t want her to get hurt climbing over the seats to sit in the back.

Having a ways to drive back home, Merlin got as comfortable as he could and laid his head back knowing Jason would fall asleep on the way. He could doze off himself if he stayed still enough. Jason was already droopy eyed and fighting the urge to fall asleep. Merlin couldn’t help smiling at the way Jason softly babbled to himself in his attempt against the Sandman.

“Before we go, stop by Johnathan’s office, he has the last bit of paperwork I need to sign stating the baby is coming home with me when she’s born.”

Eggsy smiled wide. He was more excited when they learned their surrogate got a positive pregnancy test and that excitement grew again when they learned they were getting another girl. He was telling anyone and everyone who would listen to him gush about their baby.

#####

On a bright morning Harry waited out in front of headquarters, Merlin and Eggsy sat behind him on the stone steps playing a card game. He got word that their daughter was born the day before and an agent from the surrogate company would bring her home to them.

Seeing Harry pace anxious and watching the driveway intently, so excited and nervous at the same time was a little strange but they knew he was happy to finally see their daughter.

An hour of waiting and pacing, Harry spotted a car coming up the long driveway. Eggsy smiled at the way Harry fidgeted giddy, but still keeping himself subdued and proper to not make a scene as the car pulled up and stopped. Eggsy and Merlin stood as Harry leaned into the backseat to collect the tiny infant. Eggsy couldn’t stop a giddy little noise when he saw the tiny bundle, joining Harry and Merlin fawning on her and momentarily ignoring the baby supplies from the hospital that the agent began unpacking from the car.

But after a few minutes he stepped back and started collecting all the bags, following Harry and Merlin back inside; smiling at the way Merlin had to guide Harry, who’s attention was on the tiny bundle in his arms instead of where he walked.

In the newly added nursery, Merlin sat Harry down in the rocking chair in the corner then stepped over to help Eggsy put away everything from the hospital, letting Harry and his daughter have the bonding time they needed.

All of them were excited and ready to begin the new chapter of their lives together. Eggsy especially couldn’t wait to watch the baby grow and help teach her.

#####

The first few nights with Annabeth was an adjustment for all of them. The three adults took turns getting up with her when she cried. Eggsy took his role as a father seriously, he wanted to prove mostly to himself that he could be the father he needed growing up.

That meant sleepless nights, bottles and mounds of dirty diapers, crankiness and gas discomfort. But, the three worked together easily and effortlessly to take care of all three of their children. They wouldn’t change anything about their hectic lives.

Harry balanced his duties as Arthur and his duties as a father. It wasn’t unusual to see Harry going about his business with Annabeth strapped in a carrier on his chest. He still commanded a room with the same efficiency and order, and his way of operating was still one of the best in Kingsman history.

In a way, having a new baby just helped Harry be better than he was before. He and the agents worked together to make sure everyone would be safer on missions, most of them also had children they needed to return home to after a mission.

Coming back from a quick in and out in China, Eggsy got through his post mission medical exam, gave Merlin the tech he was sent after, then made his way upstairs ready to climb into bed and sleep for the next forty-eight hours straight.

When he came in he was surprised to find Harry had set up the jacuzzi tub and waited for him with a hot bath and finger foods. He let out a soft chuckle, leaning in the bathroom doorway, exhaustion threatening to take him.

“Where’s my babies?” he asked as Harry stepped up and started to undress him.

“Liam offered to take them for us. He knew you’d be dead on your feet when you got home and wanted you to have a chance to relax with some quiet for at least a day.”

Eggsy let Harry put him in the jacuzzi, sinking back into a seat with a soft breath as Harry started to undress to join him. He scooted to Harry’s side as he settled in the water, moving to sit between Harry’s legs and lay back on his chest.

Harry felt himself calming again, his worried mind finally slowing down to the usual rambling thoughts having his precious love back home and safe again, another successful mission under his belt; further proving Eggsy was Kingsman worthy.

Chapter Text

Harry followed Eggsy to Medical. Neither were hurt, but Roxy was found unconscious and injured in the woods surrounding the property. Merlin was already checking cameras for the attack. Eggsy was livid and wanted someone’s head for hurting one of his best friends and Harry needed to know who he had to kill for hurting her.

Coming into the room and seeing Roxy laid bandaged and bruised, Eggsy’s heart broke a little more. He let out a quiet groan as he stepped up and took her hand, sighing through his nose and reminding himself to calm down and breathe through the anger he felt.

Roxy stirred awake and looked up at the two groggily, feeling a sense of comfort and safety now that Eggsy was there with her. Eggsy gave her an attempt at a smile as he sat on the bedside, it looked and felt like more of a cringe than a smile though.

“Hey,” he greeted, feeling a little lame for not knowing what else to say to her at the moment.

“You gotta kill them for me, Eggsy. I would, but obviously I can’t.”

“Don’t worry about anything. Merlin is checking security footage and I promise whoever did this to you will be severely punished,” Harry told her, sitting on the other side of the bed and taking her free hand. “He’s ready for blood.”

Roxy gave him a crooked grin. “That’s Uncle Hamish for you. He’s always defended me, especially from my dad as a kid.”

“And here I thought you called him Uncle as an older friend type. I wasn’t aware you’re blood related.”

“Never said anything to avoid rumors of special treatments, but yeah. He’s the one who brought me in, just said Percival did to hide it.”

Harry sighed and nodded. He wasn’t going to assume any special treatment, Roxy absolutely was a skilled agent and she proved herself constantly. He would make a point to better watch her though, help Merlin watch and keep her safe.

Eggsy moved to lie down with her, moving carefully to not hurt her, hugging her gently. He wasn’t going to leave her side until she was discharged; and then he would bring her home with him and take care of her while she healed. Harry already knew what he would do and didn’t want Roxy on her own for a little bit either.

Letting Roxy rest and trusting Eggsy to watch over her, Harry stood and left so he could help Merlin look over all the footage he had to watch. He was going to punish whoever hurt her severely and they would be lucky if they made it out alive.

#####

The next morning Roxy was home with Eggsy and the little ones. Daisy was with Liam doing her tutoring, Harry and Merlin were busy confronting the agent who attacked Roxy so viciously. They had already hurt Kay, Harry broke a few bones for him, unable to control his anger and had to stop Merlin before he killed Kay.

With Kay bleeding and beaten within an inch of his life, Harry ordered him down to their jail, refusing to send him for any medical treatment. Someone could come down and treat him if they wanted, but he wasn’t going to give him the privilege of care.

Calming down and fixing his clothes tidy again, Harry went to his bar to wash the blood off his hands and treat the abrasions he received from hitting Kay so hard. Merlin took off his sweater, frowning at the large tear running up the front, and flicked it on a chair to either discard or see if it would be worth trying to fix when he calmed down a little bit.

Harry made both of them a drink, giving one to Merlin as he crossed to sit at his desk. “We should check on things at the club this weekend since we missed last week.”

Merlin nodded, looking down at his hands for any damage. “I’ve checked the books and attendance is up again. Guess people are talking.”

Harry smiled a little bit. Any time they went to the club and let Eggsy prance around in his skimpy things, the next week would see an increase almost every night. Neither worried about Eggsy roaming their club unattended, knowing where his heart belonged and knowing he would absolutely be able to defend himself if trouble came. Eggsy needed to show off, he craved the attention, and their club gave him a safe place to be himself.

While Merlin sat lost in his head, Harry gathered a few files out of his desk that he needed to sort through; keeping himself busy so he wasn’t going downstairs to fight Kay again. He knew Merlin wasn’t up for too much conversation, knowing he was worried about Roxy more than anything, so he would let him just sit and figure things out in his head for a while.

Merlin was glad that Harry didn’t try to force him to talk when he needed time to think; it helped their personal relationship and kept them from fighting with each other over trivial things since they knew when to just leave each other alone.

#####

After dinner and bedtime for the little ones, but Annabeth fighting going to sleep, Eggsy helped Roxy in the shower and helped her get dressed in night clothes before following her back to the den where Harry and Merlin sat watching the news. Harry rocked with Annabeth, hoping a warm bottle would lull her to sleep. Merlin had his nose in more work, needing to catch up again since he sat out the day in Harry’s office avoiding his work responsibilities.

Eggsy put Roxy on the couch, helping her fluff pillows and settle with a soft blanket before stepping up to take over with Annabeth. Harry handed her over and grabbed his laptop to finish a few things while Eggsy paced and rocked her.

Watching Eggsy with their daughter, Harry felt calmer and the last bits of anger were leaving him. Eggsy always had a way to make him calm without trying anything big; sometimes all it took was that cheeky smile to soothe Harry’s nerves. Now, watching him pace with Annabeth and sing softly to her, Harry’s mind slowed and quieted away from his worries and constant thoughts.

He didn’t realize he had zoned out and was staring until Eggsy caught him and leaned down, giving him a kiss and a grin. He blinked back to reality, smiling automatically.

“You alright?” Eggsy asked, standing straight again to resume pacing.

“Just enjoying the view. You know how it is watching you being an amazing father.”

“I dunno about amazing, but I can’t help just loving my babies.”

“They so love you as well. You’re the best father they could have.”

Eggsy snickered and blushed at the praise, nuzzling and kissing Annabeth’s head bashfully. Harry smiled at him then turned back to his busy work.

#####

At the club Saturday night, just before opening, Harry and Merlin did their usual run through, checking on everything and making sure the new, professionally trained, security was in place and their recruits at the bar and ready.

They still had half an hour before the doors unlocked and the club would be full.

Eggsy came from the back office, he had to change into his skimpy lingerie, smiling at his two Doms as he passed the main floor to where their chairs were kept in a quieter area. They wanted to follow after their boy, but they had to finish their tasks first.

Getting done with the sweeping, Harry put the broom away and wiped a spot on the bar before tossing the dust rag under for the recruits to use as needed. He slipped away and made his way to sit down, smiling when he saw Eggsy going around the area tidying a few spots and making sure everything was in the proper place.

“Are you going to drink tonight?” Harry asked as he sat in his chair, getting comfortable with his feet propped up on a little ottoman.

Eggsy shrugged and shook his head. “I think I’ll stick to water or pop tonight since I had something last night. I plan on taking a sleeping pill later so it’s best not to mix it.”

Harry smiled, beckoning him over. Eggsy stepped up, smiling wide as Harry’s hand roamed his hip and thigh. “Bring me my usual then please. Then, I want you on my lap for a while.”

Eggsy let Harry rub and squeeze a moment longer then turned and went to the bar to get Harry’s drink and a soda for himself. Merlin was already settled at the bar with a drink; he would spend some time out in the main area before coming in to settle in his chair.

“You should stay with Harry tonight, he looks like he needs the extra attention.” Merlin told him, busy with his tablet and going over more inventories.

Eggsy took the drinks and returned to Harry, settling in his lap and snuggling in close; nuzzling on Harry’s scruff and giving him a little kiss and a smile. He felt Harry relax under him and sigh softly as Harry’s arms wrapped around and held him firm.

“Do you need anything special tonight, Daddy?” he asked with a sly little smile. “Wanna show me off to the other Doms, let them see how good and obedient I can be?”

Harry gave him a knowing grin and squeezed Eggsy’s ass hard, making him squirm and snicker. Eggsy knew he was going to enjoy whatever Harry had planned for him tonight and he would have too much fun being good for his Doms with an audience watching his every move.

Chapter Text

Eggsy and his team returned from a mission to stop an assassination attempt on an Italian official. They were all banged and bruised, but they were successful. Naturally with Roxy and Eggsy leading they would be, and their win was expected; but Eggsy still felt a little pride and held his head a little higher, shoulders a little more squared and straight.

Taking a quick trip to Medical and getting the all clear from Pam, Eggsy made his way home. As he came in he heard Daisy in the den, she was giggling about something. He peeked in seeing Daisy and Annabeth up in Harry’s lap, the girls playing together with a dog toy Annabeth wouldn’t let the dogs have back once she had hold of it.

Daisy adjusted well to becoming a big sister. At first she had the expected jealousy, but Harry was quick to squash it, showing her he wasn’t going to ignore her in favor of the new baby. Now she always helped with Annabeth whenever Harry let her and had fun with her baby sister.

The front door opened and Eggsy heard Jason coming in babbling and Lulu yipping following Jason and Merlin back home. She had to see the vet for updated shots.

“Didi home!” Jason shouted seeing Eggsy, quickly running to him. Eggsy scooped him up with a wide smile and hugged him close, hearing Daisy getting down off Harry’s lap to welcome him home with a hug as well.

“Have you returned your equipment, Galahad?” Merlin asked, typing on his tablet to check the armory inventory.

Eggsy chuckled, hugging his babies; glad to be home safe again. “Yes, did that before going to Pam.”

“Your pistol is missing from your weapons locker. Says here you checked it out Thursday, before you got your assignment Friday.”

“Hawkins said you took it for maintenance with R&D.”

Merlin shook his head, a worried frown on his face. “And you didn’t double check with me?”

Eggsy shrugged. “Well, I was pressed for time, had a jet to catch and all; didn’t have time to run and see you.”

“Keep the runt entertained then, I’ll check the cameras.”

He left again, he had to find the missing weapons. It wasn’t making any sense that Agent Hawkins, one of their Irish men and attendant in the armory, would say Merlin had the weapons when he hadn’t been down to the armory in at least a month.

Eggsy turned around and saw Harry had come up with Annabeth cradled in the crook of his arm. He gave her head a soft kiss and snuggled up to her and Harry with a happy little noise, holding his family close.

After a few minutes holding his precious love, Harry sent him to change into comfortable lounge clothes. They would do their bathing ritual later after the little ones were in bed for the night. Now dressed in his favorite night shirt and a baggy pair of pajama pants, Eggsy made himself comfortable sitting at Harry’s feet with Jason on his lap and Daisy tucked up to his side; his head down on Harry’s thigh.

He didn’t pay too much attention to the movie playing, fuzzy and peaceful as Harry pet on his head.

#####

Eggsy roamed the club, checking on patrons and looking for anyone being difficult. Sure he trusted their hired security to be able to keep fights to a minimum and not cause a scene, but Harry sent him out to roam to double check not wanting anything to happen to his patrons.

Satisfied that everyone was behaving, Eggsy made his way to the bar ordering drinks for Harry and Merlin; grabbing a bowl of the extra salty peanuts Merlin liked and almonds for Harry, putting everything on a flashy serving tray, turning on the neon light to draw more eyes to him as he returned to his kneeling pillow.

Harry didn’t care for the more expensive trays, they were too flashy and outrageous, but he bought them for Eggsy because he liked them so much. Merlin teased him for it.

Eggsy set the tray down on the little table between their chairs, smiling as Harry’s hand found its way to his thigh again; snaking up and giving him a careful squeeze and gentle tug, reminding him of the cage he wore.

“Anything special, Daddy?”

“On my lap, let me play with you.”

That made Eggsy grin wide. He sat down on Harry’s lap, bending his knees over the arm of the couch and reaching his feet to Merlin so he could reach if he wished. Merlin tried to distract himself away from Eggsy’s feet but the temptation to rub and lose himself and let his mind wander a while was too much to fight long.

Harry’s hand snaked into Eggsy’s skimpy panties, giving Eggsy’s balls a gentle squeeze just to see him squirm; enjoying the way the single Doms salivated watching his precious boy, his unattainable lover liked the attention too much but he knew where Eggsy’s heart was at the end of the evening. He knew where Eggsy would be going home later; so he didn’t worry about the others watching him perform and tease the crowd.

The unexpected feeling of a vibrator on his caged dick made Eggsy squirm on Harry’s lap. He let out a low chuckle and spread his legs open wider, giving Harry more access to have him as he pleased; rolling his hips slowly against the vibrator.

“Daddy, may I?”

Feeling Harry’s devious grin against his neck just excited Eggsy more. He snickered, eyes closing peacefully.

“Not yet. Behave.”

Eggsy chuckled helplessly and squirmed against Harry’s hand and the vibrator working him in tandem.

#####

The next morning everyone woke earlier than expected. Harry couldn’t make it out of bed, he drank too much at the club and was now paying the price for his carelessness. Eggsy and Merlin were able to keep the little ones quiet enough they weren’t disturbing his rest and recovery. Eggsy made sure Daisy was fed and off to tutoring before he left to drive the bus to the private school.

Merlin would stay and keep an eye on Annabeth and Jason until Eggsy got back home, still working to find the missing weapons and who was involved in taking them.

With Jason distracted watching a movie, Merlin sat with Annabeth in his recliner; tapping away on his tablet going over days worth of security footage. He had to find whoever took the weapons, he couldn’t let them be in the wrong hands.

Kate, coming to the cave in search of Merlin, made her way upstairs to find him when she saw the cave was empty. She figured he was going to have a late start, thinking Jason was sick or needed him otherwise at home a little longer this morning.

She let herself into the suite, hearing the television in the den; smiling when she saw Jason sitting with his pig and Merlin rocking with Annabeth now up on his shoulder.

“What’s keeping you?” she asked, leaning in the doorway. “You’re not usually late when there’s something going on.”

“Harry’s taken a sick day and I’m sitting with the little ones until Eggsy gets back from busing the kids to school. I’ll be around when he gets home.”

Kate nodded. “Tyler make it on the bus this morning? His counselor called and informed me he hasn’t been in his classes in a while.”

Merlin shrugged and shook his head. “He leaves with Eggsy every morning and you know he wouldn’t allow Tyler to skip without your knowledge and permission.”

“Would it be wrong of me to put a tracker on him?”

“Morally, perhaps, but kids these days are a little more dumb when it comes to keeping themselves safe without parental supervision. He’s a teenager, at the difficult stages, and we do have to do whatever is necessary to keep our children safe.”

“Daisy has a tracker?”

He nodded. “Jason as well. When this one’s old enough for inconspicuous jewelry she’ll have one as well. Can’t be too careful in our line of work.”

Kate sighed and stood straight. “I’ll be downstairs whenever you happen to wander your way to work. Got a lot of videos to watch still.”

Merlin smiled and dismissed her, adjusting Annabeth as she started to drift off to sleep, picking up his tablet to resume watching videos. They absolutely had to find whoever was taking their weapons.

Chapter Text

To help show Daisy that she wasn’t being forgotten or replaced by Annabeth, Harry took her out to a special dinner every week; just the two of them spending time together having fun. After dinner he would let her choose another fun activity. Most of the time she wanted to go to the movies and see the latest movie for kids her age.

With the Christmas holidays approaching, Harry planned for everyone to go off to Macau, China. He had plenty of allies in and around the city to assure he and his family had a safe holiday break. He didn’t worry about much of anything except making sure everyone would have the same week off so they could all go together.

Of course he included Kate and the boys in his plans, and had to wait until they were able to go and not miss too much school.

Charged with packing everything they would need for their three children, Eggsy recruited Roxy and Madisson to help him. A few things needed to be brought down from the attic and he still refused to set foot up there.

Eggsy stood at the ladder reaching up to take down a steamer trunk, Roxy fed it down to him; being careful so neither were hurt. With a grunt, Eggsy got the trunk balanced on his shoulder and turned to take it to the front room. He heard a clatter behind him and glanced back, seeing one of the better playpens on the floor and Roxy climbing down the ladder.

Madisson found Jason’s old high chair for Annabeth to use and followed after the two. It was smaller than the one she used now and traveled better.

In the front room Eggsy had clothes and baby supplies laid out and organized. He sat on the floor surrounded by piles of clothes and began packing the trunk.

“There should be another big trunk for all the baby food and junk, but I think that’ll take all of us to get down. It’s heavy.”

Roxy sat on her knees securing bumper styrofoam pieces to the corners of the playpen to keep it from being damaged in the travel box. Madisson was busy putting the pieces of the high chair in a box.

They were interrupted when Merlin and Kate came in noisily. Merlin was trying to keep a distance from Kate as she followed and hounded him. They finally found who had used agent names to take weapons out; but neither expected Merlin to be that person. He had no memory of doing it and Kate didn’t believe him at all. Eggsy abandoned packing and hurried after them as they made their way to the guest room.

He was surprised to see Merlin bring out two large duffel bags and begin taking out weapon after weapon that was missing from the armory.

“How the hell do you forget something like this, Ham?” Kate asked, tone now sounding tired and worried. “You’re known for your sharp mind; how can someone as well trained and efficient as you forget you checked out all these weapons and put them very much in reach of your children?”

“I said I don’t fucking know, Kate!” Merlin hissed, angry with himself for putting his family in danger having unsecured weapons hidden in their home.

Eggsy stepped up and looked at the tablet in Kate’s hand showing a video of Merlin sneaking into the armory after it had been closed; making multiple trips over the course of a few weeks and taking out weapon after weapon. He immediately recognized the stilted gait in Merlin’s steps and the far off look on his face.

He sighed, hands on his hips. “I told you you’ve been sleepwalking, Uncle. You really need to see someone about it; if it’s already at this point.”

Merlin groaned at him and sat down after giving the bag to Kate to take back down to the armory. “I’m sure it’s just stress, it’ll stop on its own.”

Eggsy quirked a brow at him then clicked the little earpiece in his ear, calling for Harry to come home and help him deal with Merlin. 

“You’re going to ask for options for treatment, Hamish. We’re not going to let this get any worse than it is already. Anything coulda happened with that all being here. You know Jason likes to get into everything and everywhere.”

Merlin huffed, but knew Eggsy was right. He had to do something so the situation didn’t worsen. He would hate himself if he did something to cause their children to be hurt. Eggsy sighed, letting his shoulders drop, and moved to sit down beside Merlin, linking their arms together, taking Merlin’s hand and putting his head down on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. Me’n Harry will help you through all this. Sleepwalking isn’t the end of the world and it is treatable.”

Roxy sat down with them, taking Merlin’s free hand; giving him a reassuring squeeze and a little bit of a smile. “I’ll be here as well. I’m not gonna let my favorite uncle go through this without me helping.”

Merlin looked between the two, wanting to argue that he needed to fight alone; like he was trained to do, but seeing two of his best agents willing to step in and help him fight; it gave him an odd, unfamiliar sense of comfort.

“Alright, I’ll go see someone tomorrow.”

Eggsy smiled and gave his cheek a little peck before standing again to finish packing the trunks in the front room. Merlin and Roxy followed soon after.

  #####

By the time everyone left for Macau, Merlin had a new medication to lessen his sleepwalking incidents.

After a long flight the adults in the group were ready to fall down somewhere and sleep. The children all were re-energized and hyper, excited about being in another country full of wild colors, exotic foods, and fascinating people.

Being fluent in nearly every language, Harry and Merlin were able to communicate with the locals so they could get to their hotel quickly. Divided into four separate taxis, they finally arrived at the hotel and everyone took charge of a child and some of the luggage.

In a foul mood after a little tiff with Kate on the jet and in the taxi, Tyler paired up with Eggsy, taking a few pieces of the lighter luggage to be helpful. Daisy bounced between walking with Harry, endlessly chattering about everything she saw, and falling back to show Eggsy as he and Tyler followed their large group.

“C’mon babe, don’t dawdle and get left out here,” Eggsy told her, ushering her ahead. “Little as you are, we'd never find you in the crowds.”

“That’s why Daddy gave me a tracker.”

“Yeah, but keep up. It’d take a long time to set up everything we need to find your tracker signal.”

After a little bit of a miscommunication with the hotel reception, Harry had key cards to their rooms and ushered everyone toward the elevators. “Alright, Hamish, you're with Jason and Roxy in 3443. Kate, you and the boys are in 3444, and I’ll be in 3445 with Eggsy and the girls.”

“Are they all adjoining rooms?” Merlin asked, taking a key card and hitching Jason up higher on his hip for a better grip on him.

“Yes, disguised as closets. I made sure to request adjoining rooms. Now, everyone is to behave and remember all of your manners. Be respectful to the locals and their customs. If you need a refresher, I’ve sent all of you an itinerary and information packet to your personal emails.”

As they got off the elevator, Eggsy took Annabeth to allow Harry to have his hands free to unlock their room; following Harry inside.

The rooms weren’t as big as they were accustomed to in Europe, but the beds were an appropriate size and the bathroom was more modern style with a traditional toilet and shower combination.

The kitchenette was much smaller than they expected, but Eggsy could still make do using all three rooms and letting someone help him cook.

While Harry settled the girls so he could possibly lie down and relax after such a long flight, Eggsy worked to unpack their luggage. He grabbed an armload for the closets, hearing Kate and Tyler arguing through the thin walls.

Putting away Harry’s suits, Eggsy started toward the door adjoining their room with Kate’s; reaching for it as it opened and Tyler came in with his backpack and duffel bag.

“Alright, yeah fine, go stay over there this whole time; stay outta my hair for once!” Kate hissed at him.

Concerned and a little angry by her tone, Eggsy came to her room; hands on his hips, huffing to get her attention. “What’s going on, why are you speaking to Tye like that?”

Kate threw up her hands in frustration and defeat, groaning. “He’s got it in his head that he wants to be a girl. Caught him playing with my make-up last night and got on him about it. Told him boys don’t wear make-up.”

Eggsy huffed at her. “Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, fucking KISS, Boy fuckin’ George, and I’m sure even fuckin’ Elton John has worn make-up. He’s into all of them, of course he’s going to mimic their looks. He’s barely thirteen.”

Naturally Eggsy knew all about Tyler’s developing self image. Tyler felt comfortable enough to discuss with him and Harry about possibly being transgender; something he had to learn about online since he knew he couldn’t talk to Kate about it.

Sure she was accepting of gay, lesbian and bisexuals, and the multitude of queerfolk; but she was adamantly against transgender people, and especially transgender kids. She was in the group that believed it was all a mental disorder that could be fixed with harsh therapy.

Kate sighed and shook her head. “Not my children,” she spat.

Eggsy shrugged, knowing he wouldn’t get through to her yet. “Alright then I guess Tye is gonna come stay with me for a while so he has a chance to experiment and explore who he is. You can stay outta his business until you grow up.”

He huffed and went back to his and Harry’s room, almost slamming the adjoining door before reminding himself they weren’t at home and he couldn’t slam anything in anger at a hotel. As he came in he found Tyler hugged to Harry. The warm sight calmed away his anger and his shoulders dropped out of his ears again as he relaxed and let go of the tension he held.

He snuck a picture of the two; always enjoying seeing the softer sides of Harry with any child. It was just more proof that Eggsy was right there where he belonged.

Chapter Text

Taking a few weeks break to escape their hellacious work and lives recharged everyone and refreshed them; making them ready for when they returned home to resume saving the world. Some of the agents had already come home by the time Harry and his group made it back, a few chose to stay at headquarters over the holidays because they didn’t have much of a family to go home to visit. They all gathered and celebrated with each other instead.

Eggsy and Merlin followed Harry into their suite, both jetlagged and carrying a sleeping child, Merlin carried Jason and laid him down in his new bed; making sure he would stay asleep before sneaking quietly out of the room to unpack the dirty clothes out of his bag to send down to the laundry. Eggsy brought Annabeth to the bedroom with him, putting her down in her little bassinet then setting down his duffel to unpack everyone’s clothes.

He took Merlin’s bag to unpack, nudging on him until he was lounged comfortably in his usual spot in bed; taking Merlin’s shoes. He had to make an extra effort to ignore Harry and Kate in the front room; still mad at Kate for the way she treated Tyler.

Harry offered to adopt Tyler, and wasn’t surprised when Kate agreed; with the condition that she could still be in Tyler’s life. She just couldn’t handle his needs and knew her brother could do a better job raising Tyler than she ever could.

She still loved Tyler, and knew in her heart she always would unconditionally love her child. She just didn’t know how to properly raise a kid with so many complex needs. She had to admit defeat for the better of her child.

While they discussed everything, Eggsy kept himself busy unpacking everything and making sure their space was tidy and clean. He wasn’t surprised when Daisy came in, now in pajama pants and a comfortable t-shirt, and made herself comfortable lying down beside Merlin on Eggsy’s pillow. She was tired from the long trip, having a rough time sleeping on the jet, and wanted a nap. Eggsy’s pillow was always softer and more comfortable than hers when she was so tired.

He couldn’t help smiling as she settled, giving Merlin his laptop and tablet so he could catch up with the work he missed on vacation.

#####

Over the next week the rest of the agents started trickling back to headquarters and soon everything was back up and running easily. Saturday afternoon Harry stopped working early so he and Tyler could head out to the tailor shop to get his measurements for new, more feminine clothes. Eggsy came along wanting to support and help Tyler pick some cute designs.

In the shop Tyler and Eggsy roamed around looking at different fabrics, Kingsman only had the best materials and the best tailors and seamstresses available. Harry let them explore together, staying back to discuss their needs with the lead tailor Mr. Jennings.

For an old guy, Mr. Jennings was surprisingly unfazed by Harry’s request for feminine clothing for an AMAB kid and seemed to be actually warm to the task. Harry was a little afraid of discrimination, seeing how Kate wouldn’t support her child’s needs.

After a few hours at their shop, Harry took Tyler to an expensive department store for clothes off the rack he could wear while waiting for the custom wardrobe to be done. While they went to look at clothes, Eggsy took a basket and made his way to the cosmetics department. He spent far too long watching make-up tutorials with both Tyler and Daisy to get an idea of what to buy for Tyler as far as make-up and skin care needs.

He even found a few products he, Harry, and Merlin could start using. All of them needed to better pamper themselves. Making a quick stop when he found kid friendly items, he picked out a few things Daisy could play with that wouldn’t be too harsh on her still sensitive skin.

With the basket surprisingly full, Eggsy left cosmetics and went in search of hair care. He didn’t know much about women’s haircare, but he managed well enough to get a few hair styling tools Tyler could easily use.

Rounding a corner Eggsy met up with Harry and Tyler again, a little stunned to see Harry’s shopping buggy full of clothes and new shoes. His small basket paled in comparison to what Harry was purchasing.

“Half of it is for Daisy, she’s growing quick,” Harry told him with a slightly guilty grin.

He knew he over indulged, but he wanted the best for his children and wouldn’t accept anything less. Of course the best was on a constantly tilting slope so no one thing was the absolute best, but he had the money to afford all the nice things and now it wasn’t just sitting in his bank account waiting for him to eventually die just to be left alone to waste.

Eggsy just gave him a smile; grateful to have Harry in his life to help him make sure his precious baby sister had the best life possible.

Shopping for a few more things before they had everything, they were finally checked out and everything loaded into an SUV Harry checked out of the Kingsman garage. With the sun being a little too bright, making it more difficult for Harry to see efficiently, Eggsy took the keys to drive them back home. He would prefer to drive, but having only one eye he had to pass the responsibility off more often than he appreciated.

The ride was mostly quiet, aside from Tyler excitedly showing off some of the new clothes to an online friend. Harry couldn’t help smiling, the excitement and happiness in Tyler’s voice made the massive amount he just laid down worth every cent.

The happiness of a child was a sound he would never tire of hearing.

Back home Harry tasked housekeeping with unloading the SUV and bringing everything upstairs to be put away. Tyler’s new room wasn’t yet done being added so he was in Merlin’s old room for now. Of course Eggsy helped sort and put everything away, going back behind a couple of the staff to put something to his usual way. He was itching because they were intruding on his duties, but he knew he needed to accept the help this time because it would take him far too long to put everything away himself.

They seemed to be trying to irritate him though, almost purposely putting things away the opposite way he instructed. He was going to choke Martin with a hanger if he put another outfit in the closet with the hanger facing backwards.

But, he survived having help and was more than happy to send the staff off back to their tasks so he could finally relax and get dinner started for his family. Being in his kitchen and cooking always made him feel so much better when he was overwhelmed. His mind quieted and stopped constantly buzzing around frantically when he stood at the stove working to prepare meals for the ones he loved most.

He really did put love into every dish he made and hoped his family could tell how much he loved and cherished each and every one of them.

Chapter Text

Eggsy woke late, finding Daisy in bed beside him curled up to his side. He could feel a fever on her and the chills he had going through his body told him they were both still sick.

Daisy caught the flu bug from one of the other kids and passed it to Eggsy and Jason, who was down in Medical for treatment since he was too young for the vaccine.

The door opened and Harry came in, Annabeth in her little baby sling on his chest and Tyler on his heels eager to show Eggsy his latest attempt with his make-up and hair styling tools. Eggsy smiled warmly at the two, rolling to his side with a soft sigh as Harry sat down behind him, hugging Daisy closer so Tyler could lounge in Merlin’s usual spot.

“Did you rest well?” Harry asked, raking his fingers in Eggsy’s hair.

“As well as I could, not great but sufficient for now. Mostly really cold.” He looked over Daisy at Tyler. “You look pretty, Mai Tye.”

Tyler grinned big, blushing light pink, swiping bashfully at his nose. He still wasn’t used to compliments, much like his uncle Eggsy, but liked getting them. Eggsy chuckled softly, reaching and taking Tyler’s hand.

They were starting slow in Tyler’s journey to who he felt he truly was, getting used to his shortened name before they moved on to new pronouns for him. He liked the name Tye and the nickname Eggsy gave him.

“I saw a video,” he replied.

Behind Eggsy, Harry took out his laptop to do some busy work needing to catch up from the couple days off he gave himself to get Eggsy and Daisy through the worst of the flu.

While Harry worked Eggsy dozed off again tucked around Daisy protectively and his hand still holding Tyler’s.

#####

The flu bug didn’t have an extended stay this time. Eggsy bounced back a little easier, his improving immune system seemed to be on his side of the battle now. Daisy took a couple extra days of rest before she was up and about as she normally would be.

Being back on his feet Eggsy caught an assignment with Roxy and his usual crew; taking along their newest Knight. They were glad to have their new Bors, Harry especially because this one seemed to respect Eggsy.

They were in Romania hunting down a new organization that somehow snuck a spy into Kingsman and Harry wanted them gone. A few other groups were looking in other countries searching as well since nobody believed the spy was giving the correct location so willingly.

Eggsy led his team into a shop, following their target; having spotted him strolling the busy shopping area. He was a little concerned that he and John would have trouble blending in with the locals being in fancy, expensive suits. So, in an attempt to blend in, neither wore a jacket and they both acted like they were interested in purchasing some more casual clothes.

John came up to Eggsy with a tacky t-shirt, acting like he was showing Eggsy the garment. “What do you think?”

Eggsy shrugged, giving the shirt a glance, checking the surroundings to pinpoint their target. “We’ll follow until he’s in a not so crowded spot.”

John nodded, putting the shirt aside and picking up a women’s blouse; pulling a face at the awful ruffled collar. “Do women even wear this crap?”

The target paid for his few purchases and started toward the exit. Roxy and Madisson tailed him, acting like they were following a map of the city on Roxy’s phone.

Knowing the girls wouldn’t lose him, Eggsy and John bought a couple outfits each; going to the dressing rooms after paying to change clothes.

“Lancelot, report.” Eggsy mumbled through their coms. “What do you have?”

“Still trailing him, he’s still walking toward the city center.”

Eggsy nodded, folding his good clothes into the bag and making quick work of putting on his new clothes.

They came out of the dressing rooms at the same time. John surprised Eggsy when he stepped up and fixed his slightly ruffle hair knowing he hadn’t looked in the mirror at all to fix anything.

Now ready and looking like citizens, the pair left the shop to go catch up with their target. “Location, Lancelot,” he called out over coms, heading toward the thicker crowds.

“We’re near the coffee shop around the west corner. He’s sat down with some woman.”

Suddenly, Eggsy heard a scuffle and both girls sounded startled about something. They were grabbed by someone they hadn’t noticed following them. Eggsy took off running, John on his heels, seeing a couple men hauling Roxy and Madisson into a grey van outside the coffee shop. He was quick to get pictures of the van, the license plate, and the goons who had the girls.

But, they weren’t quick enough to help the girls; and another couple of men came out of nowhere and grabbed them as well. Eggsy felt the prick of a needle in his neck and immediately felt groggy and light headed.

Nobody could call out the abducted agent code so Merlin would know to help them. Of course he heard the scuffle and began recording where their location chips were going.

The target and the woman stood from their table, both smiling deviously as they came outside once again, taking each other’s hand; satisfied with having so many of the Kingsman agents at once.

#####

Eggsy woke with a pounding head, feeling cold, damp stone under his back. He let out a groan as the others started rousing; sitting up to look around at their predicament and hope he could find a way out of trouble.

Not far away from him to his right, Roxy managed to sit up; groaning and grunting, finding the shattered remains of the gear they had on them. She looked at the mess for a minute before realizing she didn’t see any of the trackers that were in the equipment.

“Shit! How are they supposed to track us now?”

Eggsy squinted at the mess of their technology, shaking his head and tapping his collar. “Got one here and in my arse after the last time I was captured. Arthur insisted for this very scenario.”

Roxy let out another groan, head pounding and stomach churning. “Well thank fuck for that. But, what do we do, we can’t call out and warn them back home.”

Eggsy fiddled with his collar again, finding the little switch Merlin put in his side of the shared charm; it would send a distress signal back to headquarters telling Merlin, or Kate if she was watching the monitors, that he needed urgent help.

“Bless your kinkly arse, Galahad, ya bastard.”

The other three couldn’t help chuckling at John’s sudden Irish accent. John then realized what happened and pulled a face. “What the ‘ell?”

“Did you hit your head and go stupid on me, Percival?” Eggsy asked, concerned but mostly amused by the sudden accent.
John scoffed a little bit and cleared his throat. “I dun’t nah,” He paused again, looking at his friends confused and a little scared. “What’s goin’ on with it?”

Eggsy shook his head, seeing Madisson finally sit up. He looked around at everyone then realized they had lost the new Bors that came along with them. Now a little more awake and alert, Eggsy looked at the darker areas of the room but didn’t see Bors anywhere. Roxy was the next to realize they were missing a teammate.

“You don’t think he crossed us, do you?”

“I dunno. Sure as fuck hope not though ‘cause that would be really fucked up. But, someone’s always trying to get in with us for nefarious reasons so I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he did.”

Roxy sighed and shook her head, annoyed at the situation and annoyed that it seemed their secret organization wasn’t as secret as they thought. She just hoped that they would be rescued soon, she didn’t feel like playing abductee much longer.

Chapter Text

As always, rescue wasn’t too long waiting. Again the team was grateful their friend had such a lifestyle that saved their asses more than once. Eggsy couldn’t wait to get back home, now on the Kingsman jet, kneeling peacefully at Merlin’s feet while everyone discussed what happened.

Like always, Eggsy’s teammates and friends didn’t call attention to his kneeling, they all had their own coping mechanisms. It was just second nature to see him kneeling now.

Trying to figure out what happened, Merlin poured through what little information he had on the spy. He didn’t appreciate being infiltrated again.

The ride back home wasn’t too long, and Eggsy was soon back home in Harry’s arms again where he belonged. Eggsy was practically purring as Harry’s hands roamed his body again, almost melting under the firm hold.

After finishing a few things in the cave, Merlin quit for the day and went back upstairs. The three snuck away from the kids and went upstairs to their room, they were all exhausted and needed to rest for a while. Liam would watch the kids for the night.

Harry dressed Eggsy in a satin nightie, one of his favorites, they would spend time taking Eggsy apart later, right now he needed to rest and relax. When Harry was dressed in comfortable lounge clothes and Merlin in a simple pair of pajama bottoms, Eggsy laid down in his spot; on his stomach with his ass on display.

He wiggled his hips at his two doms, giggling quietly. Harry almost fell for the trick, but resisted the urges. “None of that now,” he said, popping one round globe; unable to resist grabbing a handful and squeezing.

Eggsy whimpered and arched up into Harry’s hand, legs spreading a little bit and squirming as Harry teased the cage he wore.

“Rest now, we’ll play later.”

Eggsy almost pouted but it was hard to do when he was so happy to be back home and safe with Daddy and Uncle again. He squirmed again as the two laid down beside him and scooted up close to him, holding him snug between them.

#####

Eggsy wasn’t sure what time he woke up but his body ached and he could feel the adrenaline crash feeling in his muscles. He let out a little noise of discomfort as he moved to lie on his back, immediately calming when Harry reached over and rubbed a gentle hand on his aching abdomen.

“How do you feel, my sweet boy?” Harry asked, putting aside his book.

“Fuck. Me. And not in the good way,” he muttered, moving to put his head on Harry’s lap. “Jesus Christ. Hate adrenaline crashes.”

Harry dug in his nightstand and found some leftover pain medication Eggsy still hadn’t finished, coaxing him to take a couple and swallow them with a bit of the water he put aside for Eggsy knowing he’d be thirsty when he woke up. Eggsy didn’t argue about taking the pills this time, his muscles ached too much for him to argue anything.

Swallowing the pills Eggsy moved and put his head on Harry’s lap, sighing and snuggling close as his eyes closed again. He was fast asleep in just a few minutes.

#####

The next time Eggsy woke up he felt a little better rested. He was still stiff and sore but it was manageable now that he had slept well.

Getting dressed for the day, knowing he and his team had a couple weeks of no missions, Eggsy made his way to find everyone. He heard them in the den and came in, going to Harry and getting up in his lap; laying an arm around Annabeth sleeping on Harry’s chest; letting out a contented sigh as he kissed her light blonde head.
“I want you to take things easy for a couple days, light housework until you’ve regained all your strength.”

Eggsy nodded, nuzzling into Harry’s neck tucking under his chin. He liked the lazy days where he could just snuggle with Harry and not worry about anything.

Sure he would have to come back to reality to help Merlin find their leak, but he didn’t need to worry about that right now. Right now his only concern was his babies and his doms.

#####

After a week of searching Merlin and Kate finally pinpointed the leak in their ship. Tequila, still on loan from Statesman stateside. Merlin wanted to just eliminate him as soon as they discovered it was him; but Harry wouldn’t let him. They could use him to thwart Champ and any incoming attack from their former allies.

Merlin wasn’t happy with Harry’s decision, but behaved and didn’t got to secretly torture Tequila like he wanted to do. He hated doing the right thing sometimes, especially if the right thing kept him from collecting the blood of his enemies.

Still only allowed to do light housework, Eggsy typically got bored and did something that required a call to Harry or a personal escort to Harry’s office to tell about the troubling behavior.

For now, Eggsy busied himself with helping Tye make a pretty dress and a sharp looking women’s suit. Tye still wanted to explore more things before he sat down with any one label to define who he was.

Working on the sewing machine, while simultaneously teaching Tye how to properly use it, Eggsy worked with precision and made it look almost too simple.

He was going to make sure Tye looked and felt great in the new clothes; so far he hadn’t talked about pronoun change or if he may someday down the line want GRS. He just wanted for Tye to feel good about himself and love himself.

The sounds of the sewing machine caught Harry’s attention as he came back home. He had a sudden bout of nausea and sickness, necessitating that he go home for the rest of the day. He didn’t want to bother Eggsy and Tye while they worked, glad that Tye had the male role model in his life who could teach him how to grow up to be an amazing person when he became an adult.

Eggsy needed more children to father and love. Harry just wasn’t sure how to make that happen yet. He wanted a fairly large family and knew there were too many who needed to be adopted, or even just fostered if the kid didn’t want to be adopted. He would bring up the idea next time he had Eggsy and Merlin alone together. He knew they could afford to adopt a few children and give them a nice, love filled home and life they so desperately needed.

Of course the addition of more children would mean headquarters would have to expand yet again; so Harry busied himself with drawing up some blueprints to use to persuade the other two to agree to his plans.

Chapter Text

Eggsy looked through the two way mirror toward Harry as he interrogated Tequila, ignoring his own reflection, just able to make him out. He felt calmer knowing Harry was watching him, felt like he could keep his head and get the answers Harry and Merlin failed to get.

In the little observation room on the other side of the mirror, Harry couldn’t help feeling a little burst of pride when Eggsy turned to the mirror without cringing away.

“I’m not gonna waste your time asking shit I already know. What does Champ want from Kingsman?”

Tequila snorted at him, leaned back on the back legs of the chair, his arms crossed. He was surprised when Eggsy grabbed the chair and spun him, slamming him down on his back. Tequila grunted stunned as Eggsy straddled and sat on his knees, his weight uncomfortable.

“Fuck you, fairy boy. I’m not telling you shit.”

Eggsy smiled deviously, reaching and grabbing Tequila’s hand; moving quickly and snapping his wrist painfully, earning a scream of pain from the other man. Eggsy dropped his arm and reached for the other. Tequila was too stunned by the pain to realize and let out another awful scream as his other wrist snapped.

“How ‘bout now?”

“Ahuh. Fuck you!” Tequila shouted furious, face breaking out in sweat and turning deep red.

Eggsy dropped his arm and reached for his nose, giving it a painful twist; just a warning. “Tell me or I swear I’ll cut this off and make you eat it.”

When Tequila was quiet for a moment, Eggsy took his knife out of his pocket, putting it against Tequila’s nose. “Last chance. If you keep this up I’ll just go for a more important body part.”

Tequila stayed quiet, panting furiously through the pain in his wrists. Eggsy pressed in with the knife, earning another scream as he started slowly cutting into Tequila’s flesh.

The door flung open, startling Eggsy making him slice into Tequila’s nose deeper than he intended, cutting just below his septum.

“Ooh shit!” he huffed, dropping the knife and snatching up discarded cloth Merlin left on the table holding it on the wound, now on his knees beside Tequila, and turning to see who interrupted them; groaning at John. “Call Medical, now,” he told John as Harry and Merlin came back in to help him tend to the wound

“That wasn’t smart at all,” Harry gruffed at him, a little too harshly because of the panic he felt. “How could you be so dumb.”

Eggsy whimpered and sat back on his heels as Harry snatched the cloth to hold on Tequila’s face. He hated that tone and Harry had never called him dumb in any form of the word. He barely reacted when Merlin moved him out of the way and passed him over to John so he could help Harry.

“Alright, dramatic arse, come along,” he told Eggsy, guiding him to the hallway. Eggsy followed, too stunned and hurt by Harry’s words to protest anything. He took Eggsy to the elevator, putting him in a corner with a sigh and pressing the button for his floor.

“I’m gonna take you on home,” John told him, holding one shoulder and finger almost waggling in his face. “I want you to stay put, understood?” He gave Eggsy a gentle shake to bring him out of his head again.

“Huh?” Eggsy mumbled, shaking his head. “Home? Okay, yeah. Home is good.”

Stopping on their floor, John escorted Eggsy to the door; waiting for him to unlock it and go inside. “Now, stay here. You’re in enough trouble as it is.”

Eggsy couldn’t hold back a whimper as he slumped to sit down on the floor where he stood, legs crossing, looking up at John with wide eyes.

“Don’t move,” John told him, then shut the door and hurried to Medical to find Harry. He could only hope when Harry and Merlin got home they weren’t too rough on Eggsy. It wasn’t like he meant to maim Tequila and disfigure his face. He was simply trying to scare the information out of him.

#####

When Harry got home a few hours later, he wasn’t as raging mad as he initially was, but he was still incredibly angry with Eggsy for being so careless with his interrogation tactics.

Eggsy sat on the bedside quietly, staring pitifully down at his hands as Harry and Merlin both laid into him for his actions. This definitely wasn’t the kind of double teaming in the bedroom that he wanted to try with his usually caring and loving Doms.

“Do you have anything you have to say for yourself?” Harry asked, hands on his hips, fingers gripping into his belt loops. He knew he would never strike Eggsy in anger, but at that moment he didn’t trust his hand to not fly on its own.

“I’m sorry, Harry,” he mumbled, looking up at him; Harry was blurry through his teary eyes. “Really, I am. I honest to the gods didn’t mean to actually cut him that badly. I was going for like a papercut just to scare him a little, I swear. I was startled when the door opened so loud. I got too deep in my head.”

“Dnnnt,” Harry stopped him. “Don’t lie to us. This is serious, he’s lucky our surgeons were able to reattach his nose back to his face. We’ve already got Champ plotting to attack us, we don’t need to make it any worse than it already is. Why did you even have a knife to begin with? You know the rules, absolutely no weapons while interrogating a suspect; especially one who’s received our training. That was the dumbest thing you could have done.”

Eggsy glared up at him. “Keep calling me dumb and I’ll give you the same treatment I gave Tequila.”

He got up to leave but he was snatched back and turned toward Harry roughly; Harry held Eggsy’s biceps painfully tight, making him wince and try to pull away.

“Did you just threaten me?” he asked, his tone frighteningly soft.

“Get off’a me, Harry. Let me go.” Eggsy tried to pull away but Harry’s grip tightened. “You’re hurting me, Harold. Now let me fucking go.”

Merlin tried to step in, grabbing Harry’s wrists and squeezing tight in an attempt to break his grip on Eggsy. Harry released one arm and in quick succession, gave Merlin a few hard jabs to get him to back up; surprising him by poking his fingers in Merlin’s eyes as he shoved him back then gripped Eggsy’s arm again.

Rage, pain, and a little bit of fear revved up in Eggsy. He reared back slightly and slammed his forehead into Harry’s face, knocking him back and breaking his grip. Eggsy didn’t waste any time feeling guilty as he ran from their suite; hearing that awful monster Jinkles calling his name again.

He went down a few floors, down the hall to Madisson’s dorm room; surprising her and her roommate as he barged in and slammed the door shut, locking it tight.

Madisson untangled herself from her blankets and rushed over as Eggsy went to his knees, not even realizing the tears streaming down his face.

“What’s wrong, what happened, where’s Harry? Is he alright, is he hurt, what’s going on?” she asked, rushing out her words faster than Eggsy could hear.

Eggsy blubbered incoherently, unable to form any actual words; too afraid of the monster he heard tauntingly calling his name on the other side of the door.

Unable to get ahold of Harry through comms or by phone, Madisson called for Medical thinking Harry was upstairs hurt horribly, and calling for someone to come get Eggsy and calm him down out of the panic attack.

Eggsy didn’t make any sense in his frantic babbling and wild gestures. Madisson called Roxy next hoping she could figure out what was going on with everyone upstairs and possibly hurt severely. Roxy could usually snap Eggsy out of his panics almost as good as Harry and Merlin could snap him back to reality.

Chapter Text

Eggsy woke up in Medical, feeling the fogginess in his head due to the sedative Pam gave him to calm him down. He groaned and tried to sit up, a hand on his chest and his floating head stopped the movement though. He looked over groggily to see Merlin’s concerned eyes watching him.

“What happened?” he croaked out, his throat dry and scratchy from screaming when medics came to get him.

Merlin shook his head, free hand reaching up and raking his fingers in Eggsy’s hair lovingly. “You had a violent attack. Do you remember hurting Tequila?”

Eggsy nodded, frowning. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to cut him that bad, I swear.”

“Yes, I know,” Merlin soothed, tone matching his gentle touch; calming Eggsy a little more. “Anyway, Harry lost his mind and triggered your PTSD, resulting in you being forcefully sedated and down here. Pam says you’ll be fine, but she never wants to see you that hysterical ever again. She’s already laid into Harry for amping you up.”

He paused for a moment, taking a tissue and wiping away a tear on Eggsy’s cheek.

“Oh, and you headbutted Harry and broke his nose. But, he deserved it full on.”

Eggsy’s face dropped in horror, his eyes wide and jaw slack. “What?! No way I did that. You’re taking the piss aren’t you? You better be, I swear; I’d never hurt him on purpose.”

“You did. Where do you think that knot in the middle of your forehead came from?”

Reaching up, Eggsy felt a knot; wincing at the slight pain. It wasn’t too big, but it was definitely noticeable. “Where’s Harry?”

Merlin nodded toward the second bed in the room. Eggsy didn’t expect to see Harry laying on the bed sleeping; Annabeth tucked to his chest and Daisy beside her. On a cot against the other wall Jason laid sleeping.

“Tye is with Roxy. Harry didn’t want to leave you down here alone. When he came to his senses, after I knocked into him. He feels guilty, but you should make him grovel a little bit. He deserves it.”

Eggsy shook his head, frowning. “You got mad at me, too, but you’re not groveling.”

Leaning down, Merlin kissed Eggsy’s head; giving him a smile “I don’t grovel, dear boy. I make my amends when I do wrong and when you’re out of here I’ll make it up to you.”

“I wanna go back to the club. I miss how you and Harry always watch me like I’m prey while I’m prancing and showing off.”

Merlin’s smile curled deviously. “Because you are our prey, dear boy. Never doubt that. Now, go to sleep and get rested. You’re gonna need the energy.”

He spent some time fluffing the pillow under Eggsy’s head and tucking the blanket up under his chin; leaning down and giving him another soft peck before reaching and turning out the light; going back to the cot and laying down gently beside Jason.

Eggsy laid looking around in the dark for a few minutes, hearing those dreadful claws scratching the walls; Jinkles was waiting for him to be alone.

#####

The next time Eggsy woke up, now out of the effects of the medication, he sent Merlin and the kids out of the room so he and Harry could talk. To his credit, Harry was ashamed of his treatment of Eggsy and apologetic. But Eggsy wasn’t so quick to forgive and forget this time.

Calm again, Pam let him go back home; giving Harry another stern speech about not triggering and amping Eggsy up into panic attacks before they left.

Walking back to the elevator, Eggsy wanted to go back into Harry’s arms but he could still feel Jinkles too close to Harry. It was like the monster was Harry this time.

Harry reached for him but Eggsy stepped back out of his reach, tucking into the corner hugging his arms around himself to keep from reaching out for Harry again. Harry sighed, letting his arms drop and his shoulders slump defeated

“So, does this mean the end of us then?” Harry asked. He knew Eggsy wasn’t ending everything between them, but he had to ask.

Eggsy scoffed at him. “It means don’t fucking touch me for a while. You gotta let me have more than a few hours to be totally over what you did. I know goddamn good and fucking well I didn’t mean to seriously hurt Tequila and if you ever insult my intelligence again.”

When the elevator doors opened again Harry and Eggsy could be heard yelling at each other; their voices carrying down the hall and to the other floors. Hearing it from their suite, Merlin stepped out to the hallway finding the two almost in each other’s faces and nearly coming to blows.

Scared it would eventually become physical, Merlin rushed to get between them; shouldering Harry out of Eggsy’s face, putting a hand on Eggsy’s chest to hold him back from taking a swing at Harry.

“What the fuck are you two doing?!” he demanded. “Why are you at each other’s throats again?”

“Harry wants to just end everything instead of letting me be upset for a couple days.”

“I asked if that’s what you wanted because you won’t let me touch you,” Harry almost hissed out.

“Any sane person would work on the fucking problem instead of fucking running away, Harry. I get that I fucked up and I’ll gladly accept whatever punishment you two wanna give me; but I never even suggested ending things. We normally have a really fucking great thing going on the three of us, I wouldn’t fuck myself out of the only healthy relationship I’ve ever have and I really thought you’d know that. Harry, you know me better than anyone in this entire goddamn world; even better than Liam knows me and he’s my best and oldest friend.”

He sighed, taking a step back; fighting the urge to hide away from Jinkles; seeing him lurking just behind Harry’s shoulder, one clawed hand gripping Harry’s shoulder as if Harry was his puppet.

“The worst part is one side of me wants to stay away for a couple days, but realistically I know I couldn’t handle that right now. It’s not fair. I need to just be mad at you for a little bit, but I can’t handle being away from you. I hate it.”

Harry slumped and relaxed again, weakening Jinkles’ hold just a little bit; the monster still had a tight hold but Harry was too strong for him, and his protective hold combined with Merlin made the two strong enough they could defeat the monster and keep him away from Eggsy.

“Alright, what do you want to do?”

Eggsy blew out a breath and shook his head, calming under Merlin’s gente hand, closing his eyes for a moment; his head dipped slightly. “I am all outta sorts. I need to be settled again. I already told Ham I wanna go back to the club. We haven’t been in so long and I just need to go back.”

Without waiting for a response, Eggsy turned and went down the hall to their suite; Jinkles’ voice dulled to a soft murmur in the safe and loving home. He found Jason and scooped him up, snuggling under a blanket on the couch with Jason tucked in his arms.

Back in the hall, Harry sighed as Eggsy went back home; running a hand down his tired face. “Perhaps it has been too long since we’ve done anything to sort ourselves out.”

Merlin shrugged and shook his head, following Harry to go back home. “We should really focus on making sure all three of us are sorted; we gotta help each other. I know you’re itching to get him bound up and under you again, the gods know I am.”

Harry just muttered something and disappeared to his home office, part of the new additions being worked on for headquarters. Merlin let him disappear, finding Eggsy and Jason together on the couch. He nudged his way to join them, letting Jason lay on his front so Eggsy could still hold him, keeping Eggsy tucked safely to his side. He knew Eggsy wanted to be with Harry as well, but needing space from him at the same time.

#####

Saturday evening Eggsy roamed the club again, dressed in a soft corset and skimpy little, thong panties; sheer black stockings covered his toned legs and a black garter on his thigh. The heels Harry put him in only lasted a couple rounds around the club before Eggsy ditched them under Harry’s blue chair.

Wanting to see what was so appealing and special about the club to Eggsy, Roxy and the rest of the group joined them for the outing. Knowing his friends were watching him prance and flirt just encouraged Eggsy to loosen up more and let himself enjoy putting on a show for everyone.

Doing another round, a few dollars tucked into the corset and panties, Eggsy returned to Harry; standing with his arms behind his back showing off the money he made just walking around.

Merlin reached and hooked a finger in the waistband of Eggsy’s panties and tugged him closer to collect the money. Eggsy sighed, eyes closing peacefully with Merlin’s soft touch.

“Come here,” Harry told him, tone calm over their comms. Eggsy let out a soft chuckle and stepped to Harry after Merlin got all the money, kneeling obediently but unable to keep his hands from running up Harry’s legs.

Everything settled in Eggsy’s mind again, the incident going to the back of his mind to become a faded memory like all the other bad ones.

Harry reached and held Eggsy’s face in one gentle hand, giving him a kind smile and a slight dip of his head; a silent command. Eggsy reached to undo Harry’s pants, body feeling light again and that familiar warmth returning as he leaned up to take Harry into his mouth with a soft sigh.

Chapter Text

Eggsy hated being mad at any of his family, but he was able to just take a couple days to grump and he felt better. He was able to forgive Harry and gladly accepted the temporary benching he earned. He needed to stay close to one of his two doms after having such a violent PTSD attack.

He sought shelter under Harry’s desk. Harry had another desk made, this one allowed Eggsy enough room to lie down. Harry kept a soft cushion and blankets for Eggsy; and being the too precious little sister Eggsy loved and cherished so much, Daisy gave him a few stuffies to keep under the desk with him for protection.

When she overheard the adults talking about Jinkles and how awful he terrified Eggsy, she knew some of her stuffed animals would keep him safe when he hid from the monster.

Harry scooted back from the desk to look down at Eggsy, seeing him curled up sleeping with a stuffed puppy in one arm and JB and Lulu laying with him. He couldn’t help smiling at the peaceful sight.

JB glanced and noticed Harry watching. He barked, startling Eggsy and Lulu awake. Eggsy woke with a sharp gasp, letting out a noise when he saw Harry watching him.

“Jesus, JB, you little shithead,” he squirmed to get to his knees and crawl out from under the desk. He sat at Harry’s feet with a stifled yawn. “What time is it?”

Harry looked at his watch. “Just before four. You were only asleep for about an hour. Just didn’t mean to wake you so roughly.”

“Can you quit for the day yet?”

Harry nodded, reaching to brush Eggsy’s hair off his forehead. “I’m Arthur, I can quit any time I feel like. Why don’t you go down and see if you can’t convince Merlin to quit early as well. Tell him we’ve got good news from the adoption agency.”

That immediately put a smile on Eggsy’s face. When Harry told the family he was looking into adoption, Eggsy and Merlin both were excited; Eggsy most of all.

Eggsy got to his feet, calling the dogs to follow as he left for his task. Harry smiled as they disappeared then scooted back to his desk, his smile falling as he reread an email he received. Barbie, his brother turned sister, ran into trouble while out of the country on vacation with some friends. The women were abducted and held by a cartel for ransom.

Of course Harry was going to pay the ransom; a couple of his training agents were in the group and he needed all of them back along with Barbie. But he needed the help of the main police force for this mission; the cartel was wanted world wide so he knew if they were caught and taken into custody.

With a grumble he picked up his desk phone and called the people in charge at the police station; pressing a button that sent a signal to all agents that meant they had to hide away anything Kingsman related and make headquarters look like a prep school.

Down below ground level, Eggsy made his way to the cave hearing Merlin and Jason playing together. He couldn’t help smiling as he came in, laughing when he saw Jason running away from Merlin with some tech he shouldn’t have. Merlin needed it back, but he wasn’t making a real effort to catch his wild child.

“Dede!” Jason shouted seeing Eggsy, running and effortlessly dodging Merlin’s hand grabbing for him. He ran to Eggsy, giggling as Eggsy scooped him up and hugged him tight, giving his curly head a kiss.

Merlin came up and took the expensive tech out of Jason’s grubby, sticky little hand; giving him a toy to play with instead. “What’s up?”

“Daddy has good news from the adoption agency, wants us to go home so he can tell us.”

“Alright, I’ll close up here and you get the girls. Take that hellion with you or he’s gonna have me chasing him instead of shutting everything off.”

Jason giggled as Eggsy carried him off, hugging on him and putting his head down; reaching up and playing with the charm on Eggsy’s collar.

#####

Harry waited out front of headquarters, Merlin and Eggsy sat on the front steps playing cards again; mirroring the day they were waiting for Annabeth to arrive. They met their new daughter, age 10, when they first put in to adopt her so she knew them and was comfortable with them; excited to finally be adopted for real.

Harry swore she wouldn’t be given back to the orphanage like the last two families who showed interest in adopting her. She was excited to have her forever family.

The car turned into their driveway, still a ways away but Harry saw the dust kicking up as the car went. He knew he needed to get asphalt laid down, but it was low on the priority lists.

Finally the car pulled up in front of headquarters and stopped. Gia smiled big at the three and got out of the back seat, running up to Harry. Harry scooped her up with a smile, hugging her close.

“Welcome home, sweet angel,” he told her, kissing her temple as she sobbed with relief that she was finally home and had a family. He took a couple of her bags from the agent and put them on his shoulder.

Merlin and Eggsy got the rest of her bags, putting everything on a serving cart form the dining hall so they could carry everything with minimal trips.

The agent had a couple questions but she soon left to let Gia be with her new family.

Upstairs in the suite, Harry sat with Gia and Annabeth on his lap. Daisy came back from tutoring, wanting to sit with Harry and unwind from her busy day; Liam and Roxy took her to a kid’s museum for a field trip. She had fun playing with everything, but now she just wanted to get up in Harry’s lap and relax.

But, when she saw his lap already occupied she let out a huff and a soft pout before turning to go to her room and lie down.

Busy putting away Gia’s clothes, Eggsy heard a bedroom door slam harder than allowed in their home. Curious as to which kid was upset, he stepped out; seeing Tye busy in his room. He looked happy.

Next, with a sigh and preparing himself to be yelled at, Eggsy went over to Daisy’s room; knocking on her door before peeking in on her; seeing her flung out on her stomach in bed, a loud screech thankfully muffled by the pillows as she thrashed and threw a fit.

“Daisy!” he said a little loud, only wanting to get her attention; she wasn’t in trouble yet. She stopped screeching and turned her head to glare at Eggsy, her face red and sweaty.

Eggsy sighed and stepped in, shutting the door before taking off his shoes and laying down with her, getting her comfortable and hugging her close. He let her pout and cry on his shoulder, figuring she was just a growing child and didn’t know how to deal with her changing hormones

“What’s wrong, my sweet Flower?” he asked, raking his fingers through her hair lovingly.

“I wanna cuddle with Daddy, too!” she replied, more tears streaming. “But he doesn’t have room for me anymore ‘cause Bethie and now Gia are cuddling and taking up all the room.”

Eggsy nodded, rolling off the bed and scooping her up. “Then we’ll go in there and make room for you, too.”
He did smile when he walked into the den and saw Harry and the girls together; it was a precious sight. “Scooch Bethie, Flower needs cuddles, too.”

Harry immediately moved Annabeth to lie in the middle of his chest and opened his right side to Daisy, hugging his arm around her snug and kissing her head.

“Now, is that better?” Eggsy asked her. She nodded, sniffling, and tucked to hide her face in Harry’s side. “Good then, no more banshee.”

“What’s the matter, my precious Flower?” Harry asked. Daisy stayed quiet, she just wanted to cuddle with Harry; she didn’t feel like talking about her day.

“I dunno what’s happened but she was very much upset because she thought you didn’t have any more room for her to come cuddle with you. I think she’s just tired, I’m sure she played hard at the museum today.”

Harry let out a soft breath and nudged Daisy to look up at him. “I will always have room for you to come cuddle with me whenever you want; I swear it. I sincerely promise, sweet angel.”

Gia felt an odd pang at the use of the pet name. She thought she was the only one Harry called that name, he had since they first started visiting and she grew to like the name.

She already had to share a parent with other children, she wasn’t sure how to feel about that yet though.

Chapter Text

Eggsy came home with Madisson after a quick smash and grab job, helping the police capture another human trafficker. Eggsy especially felt good after this win, he held his head up high and plastered a self satisfied grin on his face.

The traffickers they found were some of the same ones who had abused and sold Eggsy around when he was a kid. He managed to beat on them before the police took them. It was petty sure, but getting just that little bit of revenge felt amazing.

Merln met them coming off the jet, brow quirking curiously when he noticed the pep in Eggsy’s mood. Eggsy’s grin was a little contagious and Merlin found himself grinning as well.

“Well, what’s got you so shit eating grin happy?”

Eggsy plunked his bag on a table with parts being repaired and cleaned, hands going to his hips. “Got to some of the pigs who sold and bought me. Cops let me give them a few extra bruises and lumps. I’m pretty happy right now.”

Merlin sighed, taking his tense shoulders out of his ears now that Eggsy and Madisson were home safe and unhurt; surprising Eggsy taking him into a firm hug. He wasn’t one for too much PDA, but he made exceptions sometimes, especially for Eggsy and their children.

Eggsy chuckled, wrapping his arms snug around Merlin’s middle; putting his head down and pressing his face into Merlin’s neck feeling that familiar and comforting warmth he only got from those he truly loved.

Merlin held him for a couple minutes before they pulled back and Eggsy grabbed his bag up again to lug back home and unpack. “Take your weapons back to the armory, Kate’s about to do inventory; you can clean them after she’s done.”

He took the smaller bag with Eggsy’s clothes and tac gear to take upstairs to their suite while Eggsy went to the armory, following the two tired agents to the elevator. He took Madisson’s small bag so she could take her weapons for inventory as well.

A couple floors above the main hangar, same floor as Merlin’s cave, Eggsy and Madisson stepped out and headed to their task. As they came into the armory and signed in with the agent manning the desk, they could hear loud music playing.

Eggsy recognized the band, Kate listened to 1970s rock when she was down in the dumps. Rocky Mountain Way played again as they came into the main armory locker room and Eggsy immediately smelled the odor of marijuana.

He knew immediately that Kate was bad off. With a sigh, putting his weapons bag in front of his locker, Eggsy went to look for Kate; finding her sitting on the bench in front of a wall of lockers, joint between two fingers and her phone and other hand limp on her lap as she smoked.

But, Eggsy didn’t focus on that; he immediately honed in on the bruises and swelling covering Kate’s face.

“Who was it?” he asked, arms crossing. “Who fucked you up like that?”

Kate huffed and shook her head. “George found me and Scottie at the park. I wasn’t informed that he was let outta prison. He blindsided me and nobody at that fucking park stepped in to help me when he started beating me. When he went after Scottie, I don’t know where that kid got a knife or learned how to use it, but put George in hospital with critical injuries.”

Of course Eggsy was the one who gave Scottie the knife and taught him how to use it effectively. He always had a suspicion that George would find them again somehow. Without another word Eggsy turned and left.

On his way to Medical he called Harry. “I’m back from my mission, but right now I’ve got a side quest I need to handle; that prick George found Kate and Scottie. I’m going to kill him.” He knew the voicemail would worry Harry, but he wasn’t going to let anyone hurt his family and get away from him.

Getting to Medical, Eggsy found Pam; snatching her wrist and practically dragging her into an empty room. “I need something lethal that’ll mimic something like a heart attack; something that would look like a natural death. I need to kill someone; Kate’s hurt and that fucker tried to snatch Scottie. I’ma go out and kill him.”

The door burst open, startling Eggsy as Harry barged in raging mad. “What do you mean you’re going off to murder someone?” he demanded, stepping out of the way as Merlin and Roxy barged in after him.

“Kate’s down in the armory with her face all busted to hell and back; says George was released from prison and he found her and Scottie at the park; says Scottie injured him pretty bad. I’m gonna go finish the job so that fucker can’t hurt them again.”

Merlin quickly typed on his tablet. “He’s not been released, he’s still in prison; he’s gonna be there for a long time with his lists of charges. She’s lying to you.”

Eggsy deflated, anger on his face switching to confusion and concern. “What? That makes no sense, why would she lie this big?”

Harry turned and left the room, going in search of Scottie; he could get the truth out of him easily. Eggsy huffed and stomped after him with Roxy and Merlin following. Pam came after a minute, someone was hurt and she needed to be a nurse and she needed to know what was happening if someone was hurt badly.

Back in the armory, Eggsy stormed in, going back to the section of lockers where Kate was busy getting high; finding her and Madisson talking; and Kate giving her the same story she told Eggsy, only embellishing and adding a few new elements to the story.

“Merlin’s checked, George is still in jail where he’s been this whole goddamn time. What the fuck happened to you and why are you lying about it to me?”

Madisson stood, angrily stepping away from Kate; glaring at her. “What the fuck? You’re lying about some bloke beating you and your son?”

Pamela’s phone rang, it was Harry calling her back to Medical. He found Scottie, he too had been beaten severely, more than frightened when he saw the tell tale blood on the back of Scotties’ thighs.

“What did you do to your son?” she asked Kate stunned. “Harry says there’s clear evidence of something being forced up Scottie’s little bum.”

Kate sighed, sitting up straight, pushing herself up to her feet. “I needed some quick money and I couldn’t find anyone who wanted a quick fuck with me . Spent the weekend with him and made 1,000 pounds a round. He beat both of us so I’d keep my mouth shut about him. So please, do go out and try to find him; get me killed. I don’t give a fuck anymore. I really just don’t.”

Merlin used all of his strength with Roxy and Madisson trying to help holding Eggsy back when he lunged at Kate livid. The three struggled to haul him away. Pamela gave her one last awful look before she hurried to get to Scottie and  help him. She didn’t care what happened to Kate any longer.

#####

Harry ordered Kate to a cell until he made a decision about what to do with her, forging the necessary papers to gain custody of Scottie. Already having so many kids, he put Eggsy’s name as the adopter.

For a full two weeks Eggsy slept in Scottie’s bed wanting to make sure he was kept safe and wasn’t having horrible nightmares. Scottie had a few nightmares, but always calmed down quickly with Eggsy right there with him.

Harry and Merlin took full advantage of Eggsy not being in their bed, letting Daisy, Gia, and Jason sleep in bed with them; making it a nightly thing to watch a movie and have a few snacks before bed.

Daisy and Gia were getting along better the more they got used to each other; adjusting to needing to share their three dads. Daisy no longer felt like she was being replaced, she and Gia were almost inseparable at times; they even convinced Merlin, Eggsy,  and Jason to join them and Harry for a tea party, being allowed to use a real porcelain tea set at the dining room table.

Tye became more protective of Scottie when he learned what their mother did to him; his hatred for her deepening. He started calling her Michelle just to anger her knowing how she hated being compared to her biological mother.

Eggsy had to force himself to ignore Kate, focusing his attention on his precious family. They were what’s important in his life, they mattered more than his anger toward Kate.

For now though he was going to enjoy a much needed night out with friends. Again they rented a hotel room for a night away from headquarters. The music thumping and the wild lights, the roar of the crowd, and the always flowing drinks was exactly what Eggsy needed in order to recharge his battery and relax.

He was still being careful about getting drunk, opting more for soda as the rounds kept coming. He wasn’t going to let himself get black out drunk ever again; he made a promise to Harry and Merlin, and he intended to keep that promise.

Chapter Text

Eggsy woke with a loud gasp, jolting upright quickly. Beside him Harry and Merlin both startled awake by the sudden movement between them. Eggsy didn’t notice, his wide, fearful eyes looked around in their dark room.

Harry sat up, still struggling to wake up enough. “C’mere, what’s wrong?” he asked, carefully taking Eggsy into his arms feeling him shaking and covered in sweat. “I’ve got you, sweet boy.”

“Was that all a dream?” Eggsy asked breathlessly as Harry laid back with him, glancing over when he felt Merlin scoot closer to his side. “Kate didn’t really sell Scottie to some pedo freak, right?”

“Not that we’re aware of,” Harry told him, caressing Eggsy’s cheek in the dark. Merlin spooned up to Eggsy’s back, giving him a little comforting peck on his shoulder. “Pam didn’t say anything after his last check up the other day. You know she would have told us immediately if she found signs.”

Eggsy sighed quietly through his nose, eyes closing a moment to take comfort in their combined touches. They always knew how to calm him down quickly after nightmares.

The three laid quietly in the dark, the two doms curled protectively around their precious sub wanting to protect him from the memories of his past and fears he carried through his life, until eventually they were roused again by Merlin’s phone alarm signaling the start of a new day. Eggsy went to shower, mind still replaying the awful dream as he scrubbed and washed.

When he was done he dried and came back to the bedroom to get dressed, smiling warm when he saw one of his doms had set out a pristine suit for him to wear today. It always made him smile when they did something small to take care of him.

Harry came out of the new, enormous, walk-in closet adjusting his tie before going to the vanity to fix his hair. He fussed over his hair for a minute then turned to fix up Eggsy’s hair; he still couldn’t look in the mirror long enough.

It was just another way Harry and Merlin showed their love for him. They never would belittle him for his aversion to his reflection.

“There, perfect as always, my beautiful boy,” he smiled, holding Eggsy’s unscarred cheek in his hand for a moment. “Simply beautiful.”

Despite Eggsy’s hatred of how his face looked now, he still blushed bashfully at Harry’s declarations.

Harry caressed and kissed him for another minute, no other reason than because he wanted to love on his boy. But, he reluctantly pulled back so they could finish getting ready for their day. Eggsy had to still drive his busload of kids to school and get back home to make breakfast for his family.

“Drive carefully,” Harry told him, taking another kiss at the door before Eggsy stepped out to the hallway outside their suite.

Eggsy went to the elevator, finding maintenance workers working on both lifts. “Hell,” he muttered, then turned to go down the stairs at the end of the hall. He let out a little bit of a huff when he found housekeeping staff mopping and cleaning the stairs.

Not wanting to round around to the other staircase, Eggsy swung a leg over the banister and slid down; startling a couple of the housekeeping ladies as he slid past them. He swung off the banister in a bit of a showy way because they were watching and he liked to show off.

Harry would have his head if he knew Eggsy behaved like a neanderthal in front of any of the staff. He would not approve of sliding down the banisters.

On the way to the garage Eggsy could already hear the chatter of the kids waiting for him and John. John came up behind Eggsy as he turned a corner following him into the garage.

“Alright, line’em up!” John called to the group of kids, going to his bus. Eggsy unlocked his bus and stepped inside as his group of kids started to line up to board; grabbing his clipboard with his attendance list of his riders.

One by one the kids gave him their name before going to claim their seat. Checking his list he saw that he hadn’t marked Scottie’s name yet. He tapped his glasses to call to John.

“Hey, John. Do you got Scottie Martin?”

John looked at his remaining kids waiting to board, spotting the little red head boy. “Scottie, honey, you’re on the other bus, remember?” he told him.

Scottie realized he was in the wrong line and hurried to his bus; climbing up the steps into the bus loudly and breathlessly. “Sorry, Uncle Eggsy. I forgot.”

Eggsy took an extra moment to hug Scottie and give his head a kiss; that awful nightmare still fresh in his mind. “Go sit down, Bug,” he told him, then shut the doors and turned the engine.

#####

The ride to school was uneventful and everyone got there safe and on time. Eggsy and John drove back home so they could go about their regular day working. Still needing to make breakfast for his family, Eggsy shed his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves as he came into the kitchen. He could hear Harry upstairs waking the girls and Jason babbling happy as always.

Merlin came in with Jason, going to the pantry to find a packet of Jason’s baby cereal. He would eat some of the eggs and sausages Eggsy was cooking, but he usually had some of his cereal as well.

“Will you be good with him while you cook?” Merlin asked, warming the cereal in the microwave for a few seconds. “Kate needs help fixing some of the monitors.”

Eggsy nodded, taking the high chair and bringing it closer to him; though keeping Jason out of the range of the popping sausage grease. Merlin stirred the cereal and tested the temp, pressing a bite to his lip, before giving Jason the bowl and wiping his mouth on a paper towel.

“Don’t mention anything about that dream to her yet. I wanna kinda just observe and gauge if I should be worried at all.”

Merlin stopped and stepped over to Eggsy, tugging him in for a hug; holding him snug and giving his temple a kiss. “It was just a horrible dream, dear boy. I promise. It’s not going to happen for real, I won’t let it, alright?”

Eggsy held onto Merlin tight, feeling a little more settled and steady on his feet. He hated when nightmares stuck around in his head. But, Harry and Merlin could always chase the darkness away again, making it seem effortless.

Merlin tightened his hold knowing Eggsy just needed to be held for a couple more minutes. He couldn’t deny him of that.

After a few minutes Eggsy flet steady again and pulled back, giving Merlin an attempt at a smile. “We’ll see you at lunch, yeah?”

Merlin nodded, feeling more relaxed himself, not realizing he too needed an extended hug. “I’ll be here. Just take things easy today, you need it.”

He took another kiss before he finally made it out of the kitchen so he could leave for his duties. Eggsy resumed cooking, turning on his radio finally, smiling when Jason started wiggling and dancing in his high chair, babbling happily along with the man singing.

By the time Harry came in with the girls, Eggsy was nearly ready to plate and serve everything. Harry pulled Jason in the high chair to the dining room, putting him in his usual spot between Eggsy and Merlin’s seat.

As Eggsy was passing around plates and drinks, Tye came rushing in to sit and eat. He was putting on some make-up and lost track of the time.

He was lucky he went to Liam with Daisy and Gia so he wasn’t late or missing a school day because he lost the time.

“I had this really bad dream last night,” Tye told Eggsy, frowning a little bit. “Mum let some scumbag really badly hurt Scottie; for money. Scared the crap outta me.”

Harry and Eggsy shared a glance. Did Tye and Eggsy have the same nightmare? Eggsy would talk to Tye about it before sending him off to tutoring.

Harry put on a smile. “Don’t fret one bit, If I even suspect she would do that I will have Scottie in our care before she could do it.”

“Promise?” both Eggsy and Tye asked simultaneously, both with matching worried expressions.

“With all my black little heart,” he replied, sincerity shining past the little joke.

Eggsy relaxed a little more and resumed eating, soothed as always by the tone in Harry’s voice. He could always calm all of Eggsy’s worries.

#####

Over the next couple weeks Eggsy kept Scottie with him as much as he could. He wanted to trust that Kate wouldn’t be so horrible to her own son; or any child for that matter. But, he knew how those disgusting people preyed on the single mothers and lower income families to get to the children. He could only watch over Scottie and hope the nightmare was just a nightmare; that it wouldn’t become reality

On a hot, bright Saturday; the kids all getting a four day weekend; everyone packed up and drove to a beach an hour away. Their growing family meant they could no longer use their Kingsman taxi for trips; Harry upgraded to a bigger, newer Escapade with an extended third row seat. He paid extra to have the car customized to fit their entire family.

At the beach the three adults worked to set up their spot under the enormous parasol before the kids managed to get them down in the water. Harry wasn’t too fond of open water, but he was just glad to be able to escape the intense heat of the approaching Summer months

For now they were all going to have fun and not worry about anything bad that may or may not happen. They deserved a break from the hell that plagued their family so often.

Chapter Text

The nightmares persisted for the next few weeks, affecting Eggsy’s sleep. Nearly every night he had a horrible dream about Kate doing something to harm her children. Everyone hoped it was just stress induced dreams, but that didn’t help him feel much better.

On a cold, grey, and stormy weekend, after another two successful missions under his belt, Eggsy could finally relax a little bit. He didn’t have to worry about getting the kids off to school, but the impending weather system headed their way had everyone on edge.

Harry bought a large house for their family not far from headquarters but close enough to the coast that they had to prepare for the possibility of storm damage.

Keeping busy making sure all their windows were shuttered and boarded securely kept Eggsy out of his mind for a while, his concentration shifting from old monsters and bad mothers to storm preparation and his children. He still didn’t want any biological children, wanting to do his part in ending Michelle’s bloodline, but he still didn’t feel bad about his choice. All of his adopted babies needed to be loved and deserved a happy, safe home just as much as any biological child.

Getting done with the downstairs windows, Eggsy headed inside and upstairs to climb out onto the roof. The only access to the roof without a ladder was through the attic; and Eggsy was not prepared to go up there. He knew he had to secure the windows, Tye was already up on the roof waiting for him with Merlin going around and inspecting for any signs of a leak in the roof.

Harry came upstairs, Annabeth asleep on his shoulder, and found Eggsy staring up the attic stairs timidly. Curious to what his dear love was up to, Harry took Annabeth to her nursery and laid her in her crib before going back to the hallway where Eggsy still stood nervously looking up into the attic.

“Are you alright?” he asked, putting a careful hand on Eggsy’s shoulder.

Eggsy nearly jumped out of his skin at the unexpected touch but quickly calmed and tried to relax when he saw it was only Harry; not the awful Jinkles he could hear in the attic waiting for him.

“I really don’t think I can go up there. I can climb up the ladder just fine.”

“It’ll be easier to access the windows from the roof. Hamish is already up there, he won’t let you get hurt.”

He sighed and shook his head, shoulders slumping. It was amazing he could look down the barrel of a gun, stare down some wild perp wielding the gun, and be just fine. But, here he was nearly thirty years old and couldn’t go up into an attic because some make believe monster that was used to torture him growing up.

Harry let out a soft breath and carefully grabbed Eggsy’s arm and shoulder, slowly guiding him closer to the attic entrance. “Come on then, we’ll go together.”

Eggsy let out a soft whine and tried to plant his feet, bending and twisting his way out of Harry’s grasp just before the tips of his shoes crossed the threshold.

“I can’t,” he told Harry, his tone sad and defeated. “He’s so fucking loud up there, taunting and waiting for me to go up. How can you not hear him?”

Harry frowned, hands up in surrender stance as he approached Eggsy carefully; gently coaxing Eggsy into his arms. He let out another breath as Eggsy settled against him and relaxed again; fingers raking though Eggsy’s hair soothingly.

“Alright let’s get the ladder. The little ones are napping so I can go out and hold it for you so you don’t fall. We need to get this done before noon.”

Feeling weak and small again, Eggsy went with Harry to go out and fetch a ladder from the garage. He hated all the lingering fears he couldn’t defeat, especially that bastard Jinkles. Of all his personal demons, Jinkles was the absolute worst one. The one Eggsy couldn’t defeat no matter how hard he tried.

He was very fortunate to have two partners who knew how to handle his PTSD and wouldn’t force him to do something that gave him that much anxiety.

Getting the ladder he needed and a few more handfuls of nails, Eggsy and Harry went out to the back yard, readying the ladder for Eggsy to climb up onto the roof. He let out a breath to steady himself and find his balance before hopping down on a ledge to get the highest windows first. Tye stayed up on the roof and helped by passing down the wood panels to cover the windows.

Merlin came down when he finished his tasks, ready for a break to rest his back.

“He’s getting worse with the audible hallucinations,” Harry told him, looking up and watching Eggsy and Tye working together. “Couldn’t even stick a toe past the threshold before he was too scared. Said he could hear the bastard taunting him.”

“And the therapist says?”

Harry shrugged and shook his head, moving the ladder as Eggsy moved to the next window. “Says he needs to overcome the fear and leave it behind him. Says exposure therapy might work; but I can’t make myself force it on him like that. With Tye it’s easier, he’s still young and able to bounce back pretty well. But,”

Merlin nodded. “But he’s nearly thirty and never had the chance to get the therapy he needed before you came back into his life. Didn’t you once say you fell in love with him the day you had to break the news to Michelle?”

“Not that kind of love; it was a parental type feeling. Almost like I knew I would be there to save him one day. Like I could see into the future and somehow knew I’d be the first who wanted to protect him.”

The rain falling suddenly interrupted them. Eggsy and Tye quickened their work pace. Harry followed with the ladder as they moved from one window to the next, trying to not let his mind wander too far away with worry.

It only took another ten minutes to get everything covered properly. Eggsy started down the ladder as Tye went for the roof access from the attic.

“No, Tye, what are you doing?” Eggsy asked, worry and fear evident in his tone. “Come down the ladder, the attic's not safe.”

“It’s quicker, I’ll be out in five seconds.” he hurried off into the access and down to the basement.

Panicked, and nearly slipping on the wet ladder, Eggsy hurried to get back on the ground and rushed back through the garage to get inside. He just knew Jinkles would catch and hurt Tye as he went through the attic. Harry and Merlin followed, taking a moment to put away the ladder and tools before going inside to find Eggsy. They could hear him as they crossed through the kitchen to go upstairs.

“Tye, seriously, you need to listen to me when I say something’s too dangerous. You know what’s up there just waiting for one of us to get up there unprepared to fight.”

Tye sighed exasperated. He loved Eggsy with all his heart, but sometimes his mind haunting him made him seem deranged.

“You know he’s not fucking real. Aren’t you listening to anything Dr. Richards says when you go to therapy? He’s just some made up nothing that was used to torment us. Jinkles. Is. Not. Fucking. Real!”

“Alright that’s enough, both of you,” Harry told them as he stepped between them. “We don’t need to be arguing right now; we need to make sure our home can survive the storm. Tye, go make sure all your communication devices are charged up; and put on your tracker, just in case we somehow get separated.”

Tye huffed and groaned annoyed as he turned to go to his room and get his things ready just in case they had to evacuate.

Eggsy watched him go with a frown, shoulders slumped in defeat. He started to speak, but stopped himself and turned to go make sure he had everything ready just in case. He hated when his PTSD came out and pushed his loved ones away from him. But, all the therapy and medications in the world couldn’t help him defeat that bastard Jinkles.

“I’ll handle Tye, you’re better with the boy than I am when he’s like this,” Merlin told Harry, peeking in on Jason napping in his bedroom before looking in on Scottie and Gia in the playroom then moving to Tye’s door.

Harry peeked in on Annabeth making sure she was still asleep then went to Daisy’s room expecting to see her lounged in her new reading nook; her nose in another book. Not seeing her in her room, he figured she was across the hall in the master bedroom with Eggsy. He could hear the jacuzzi tub in their bathroom and relaxed.

Lately Daisy had been having body pains and would get in the jacuzzi tub to let the hot water and the jets soothe away the pain.

He found Eggsy obediently packing a bag for himself, having already packed Harry’s bag that morning. He couldn’t help smiling. Eggsy had stripped out of his wet clothes and just put a t-shirt and tiny shorts on to lounge around and wait out the storm. The sight of his precious love always put a smile on Harry’s face.

Eggsy calmed and stood straight when Harry grabbed around his hips, getting his attention. He didn’t realize how tense he was until he let his muscles loose again, sighing a little sigh through his nose and hugging up to Harry.

“I’m proud of you, my precious, good boy,” Harry praised quietly against Eggsy’s ear; making him shiver and snicker quietly at the praise. “You almost made it up there and I’m proud that you’re putting the effort forward.”

“I’m still too scared, though. How is that any good?”

“It’s OK to be scared, my love. There’s things that still scare me. You just have to remember, you’re braver and tougher than anything you’ll ever be afraid of. Put that bull head of yours to use and meet those demons head on; Hamish and I will be here to help you defeat everything life throws at you; I promise, alright?”

Eggsy still doubted himself, but forced himself to nod as he burrowed into Harry’s chest seeking the warmth and security Daddy gave to him so freely. Harry smiled, one arm around Eggsy’s waist and the other around his shoulders; squeezing firm and planting a soft kiss near the scar running down Eggsy’s face.

The scar didn’t bother Eggsy so much anymore, but he still had days he needed help getting dressed and ready for work when he couldn’t bear to look at a mirror.

“Tonight I want to see you in your new skimpies. Keep me distracted from the storm.”

Eggsy smiled bashfully, blushing light pink. Dressing up for his doms was still one of his favorite rewards. He never thought he’d one day ache to put on women’s lingerie for his partners; but now it made him feel giddy and happy to be able to make them happy seeing him dolled up.

Harry grinned at him, holding Eggsy’s face gently in his hands. “I’ll never get over how absolutely beautiful you are when you smile like tha, my sweet boy.” Eggsy’s smile grew and he squirmed giddy, snickering softly through his nose. Harry chuckled and gave him a gentle kiss.

“That’s the smile I like to see; keep it up today and you’ll be rewarded later. Uncle and I bought some new toys for you as well,”

Eggsy let out an excited noise, muffling himself so Daisy wouldn’t hear from the bathroom. “Yes please, Daddy,” he replied softly, nuzzling on Harry’s scruffy chin; practically purring with delight.

Harry held his boy tighter, just wanting to hold him for a little while before he headed back to reality and the family braved the storm together.

Chapter Text

Coming home from another Honeypot mission, his second just this month, Eggsy just wanted to be home. He spotted one of Harry’s personal vehicles parked in the hangar as the jet rolled inside and came to a stop.

Letting out a soft groan, glad to be on solid ground and almost back home, Eggsy slung his duffle on his shoulder and grabbed his second bag full of his gear and followed his team out of the jet.

Seeing Merlin waiting put a goofy grin on Eggsy’s face as he trudged over, dropping his bags and wrapping his arms around him tight, letting out a quiet happy noise as he snuggled into Merlin’s sweater inhaling the familiar scent of Merlin’s cologne and a bit of aftershave.

Merlin held him close, glad to see he returned home in one piece and the team successful. More sex traffickers had been located and they needed to be brought down. He and Harry hated that their boy was the perfect target for the group, but both would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy listening in on the secret meetings Eggsy had with some of the targets; Harry especially enjoyed listening.

“Where’s Daddy?” he asked softly, still pressed into Merlin’s chest nuzzling happily.

“He’s home with the kids and Kate. I had to be here when you got back anyway so we decided he should stay home when we couldn’t find a sitter in time for Harry to join me.” Merlin took a moment to hold onto Eggsy, taking in his scent; the sweat mixed with his body wash and shampoo familiar and comforting.

“Alright, off you go. Take your weapons down then go see Pam. When you get done we can go home.”

Merlin took Eggsy’s clothes to put in the car and Eggsy grabbed up his weapons bag following his waiting teammates to an elevator to go down to the armory. He claimed a corner and leaned on the wall with a tired breath, crossing his arms and closing his eyes as Madisson pressed the button for the lower levels.

Reregistering his weapons, Eggsy took the bag to his weapons locker. When he opened the door he was startled when a monstrous halloween mask sprang out, making him jump back a step with a little yelp; being so tired he couldn’t hold it back. Realizing it wasn’t attacking him, Eggsy settled with a chuckle; laughing at himself; and tossed the mask aside to put away his weapons.

He heard John holding back a bit of laughter behind him and knew he was the one who put the mask in his locker.

“Payback is gonna be a real bitch, arsehole,” Eggsy laughed, taking off his tac gear to store in the locker as well. John just laughed, working to put his own things away.

After getting everything put in its proper place, the group gathered again and went back to the elevator to go up to Medical for their post mission exams.

#####

Pam didn’t keep them long knowing Eggsy was antsy to get back home to Harry. She wasn’t too surprised when he practically sprang off the exam bed and hurried out. The others followed at a normal pace laughing at his excitement.

Back in the elevator again they first went up to let the other three go back to their suites; Madisson finally ranked up enough missions to leave the dorms to her own agent suite.

Eggsy returned to the hangar finding Merlin and the butler Harry hired waiting for him in the car. He hurried over and slipped into the back seat beside Merlin, curling up to his side as Joseph started the car and drove out of the hangar, letting out a little happy noise as Merlin held him snug.

#####

Half an hour later Eggsy was finally home, immediately feeling all the stress and strain from his mission leaving his mind being greeted by the herd of children all happily greeting him and piling onto him for hugs. They brought Eggsy down to the floor all talking over each other excitedly; trying to tell him what they had been up to while he was gone.

A shrill whistle stopped all noise; the new nanny was a little tough on the kids. Eggsy didn’t like her all that much because she was a little rough around the edges and grumped at the kids when they got too loud.

“What have I said about that damned whistle, Gladys?” Harry grumbled as he came from upstairs, he just put Annabeth to bed for the night.

“They’re being too loud and excitable,”

“I said you won’t be whistling at our children. Keep it up and it’s going down your throat.” He herded the kids aside and gave Eggsy a hand up to his feet; letting out a sigh and hugging his boy close, not surprised when Daisy and Tye hugged up with them.

The last dredges of stress left Eggsy as he pressed face into Harry’s chest with a happy sound, inhaling the scent of Harry’s cologne and the pipe tobacco that he had taken up. Harry found that if he mixed a little bit of marijuana with some pipe tobacco it helped him calm after a rough day at work.

Usually Eggsy hated the smell of tobacco products, but there was something soothing about pipe tobacco that felt familiar; it itched something from his past that he couldn’t quite remember yet.

And the sight of Harry in a smoking jacket, a deep red color that Eggsy picked out, an almost baggy pair of pajama pants, and moccasins on his feet. Eggsy felt something stirring.

“Welcome home, my sweet boy,” Harry said softly, squeezing firm. “You did such a good job and I’m proud of all of you.”

Eggsy cooed again, giggling giddy at the praise, taking in another deep breath before pulling back to look up at him; smiling wide.

“I know you were listening, both of you. Couple-a dirty old men. Did you enjoy listening in?”

Harry couldn’t help chuckling. “Surprisingly very much, almost as good as watching it up close. But, we’re still going to limit your honeypots; save you for us.”

Stepping back, Eggsy laughed. “I need to go get cleaned up, I’m probably rank by now.”

He started upstairs, not at all surprised when Harry and Merlin both followed him while the kids took off to resume playing. Sitting obediently on the bed and letting Harry undress him while Merlin started the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.

Once he was naked, Eggsy and Harry switched places so Eggsy could undress Harry and join him in the jacuzzi. Merlin came through with his dirty clothes and the wash cloths out of the shower, sending them down to the basement to be washed with the laundry.

Eggsy followed Harry to the bathroom and got into the tub, sighing as he sat down between Harry’s legs; turning to put his feet over on Merlin’s lap and snuggling into his two doms with a grin on his face and a happy little sound. He relaxed more as Harry bathed him and Merlin worked his magic on his feet and aching legs.

He was happy to be back home safe and sound, in the arms of his doms as they tended to him. They would give him a couple days to rest and recharge before resuming their bedroom activities. Eggsy knew he was in for a fair bit of roughing up and he needed it. He needed it to push back a few of the memories that crept back up, triggered by his mission necessities and depraved activities he performed.
