Word Count: 1665

Pairing: Merlin (Kingsman) x Reader

Warnings: Violence, Guns, Explosions, Reader being completely awesome, unedited writing

Request: I love your blog! Is there any chance you might be able to do a Merlin imagine where he is dating the reader and she also works at Kingsman. I always see fics where the character saves the reader from a kidnapper but not really the other way round, so maybe you could do one where Merlin gets taken hostage and you save him? ( bonus points if the reader impresses Merlin by hacking into their system even though she's not a techie) Possibly the prompt " Apparently I do pay attention to you " Xxxxxxx

You had decided to be the one to make the coffee run today, everyone else had been busy on a new "world possibly ending" mission and your services weren't needed for this one, 'too many cooks in the kitchen' type of deal. So, deciding to do what little you could do to help, you ran to the coffee shop down the road, picking up the orders of everyone who was still left in the office, which was mostly young agents and techies in training, but also included the scottish tech genius Merlin himself. Balancing two trays on top of eachother, you made your way into the tailor shop saying hi to the agent out front before making your way into HQ.

Making your way through the pristine hallways, you hand out the orders as you come across the agents they belong too until you're only left with two; yours and Merlin's. Turning the corner in the hall, you come face to face with the door to his office. Standing for a moment, you take a deep breath before turning the knob and entering the dim room. Hearing the door open, Merlin turns to face you, eyes going wide in surprise at actually seeing you in his vicinity.

The thing was, you had always had a small crush on the man and considering the kingsman rules about dating and your own awkwardness, you had decided that avoiding him would be the best. Obviously he had noticed.

Walking further into the room you send him a smile as you pull his coffee from the tray, "Hey Merlin, how is the mission going?" you say handing him his tea.

"A bit rough, but we'll get 'em soon" He replied, taking the tea from your hand and pulling the top off and taking a sip, "Didn't know y' knew my order."

"Why wouldn't I? I know almost everyone's orders" you laugh, slightly confused by his words.

"Honestly? Thought y' didn't even know I existed" he replied a little solemnly.

"Of course I know you exist Merlin, if you didn't we'd all be doomed" you laughed, attempting to lighten the mood as he turned back to the computers.

Throwing your previous plan out the window, you decide to sit with him for awhile; sitting in this room alone for hours on end can't be good for his sanity. You're confused as you watch him type away on the computer, so you ask what he's doing.

"Hackin' the mainframe" he answers quickly, distracted by doing his job.

The two of you sit there for a long time in silence, not awkward, Merlin was just busy and you were okay with just watching: it got you out of the hectic halls and gave you something to do, other than worry about your friends. Watching him in his element was a sort of magic, he typed furiously, brow scrunched up in focus and somewhere in the time that you sat there he had pulled his glasses from their place and set them to the side of the keyboard. From watching him, you realized one thing, this was much more than just thinking he was cute.
