Sophie was standing near Merlin, already dressed in her long, dark dress. She was looking at screens with Merlin, checking on Roxy and Valentine's. When the doors opened and Eggsy stepped out, both- Merlin and Sophie – turned to new lad.

'Holy shit...' Sophie trailed off in her thoughts, her eyes looking over Eggsy.

"Looking good, Eggsy." Merlin said.

"Feeling good, Merlin." Eggsy smiled at him and then his eyes fell on Sophie standing next to Merlin. Sophie had come accustom with the fact that suits made agents look hundred times more handsome and beautiful and like real gentlemen or ladies. But seeing someone as Eggsy, her mouth fell open slightly. Ok, that was serious understatement. Damn, this boy. She had done a good job, even if she made the 75% of the suit while in tears and cursing herself. But won't you just look at that.

Right now, Eggsy just looked hot as fuck. It was plainly rude to look that good in anything. Sophie was sure that it was punishment from gods above.

"Are you alright, Richards?" Eggsy dared to smirk at her when he noticed her staring. Merlin looked at Sophie and raised questioning eyebrow.

"Just admiring..." Sophie caught herself saying, just to quickly add: "My work." What a save, Soph.

"Oh, yes, your bulletproof suits." Merlin turned back to screen.

"How long 'till we there?" Eggsy asked taking a seat. Sophie was still looking at him. Why the hell does he wear it as if it's his second skin? She thought briefly.

"Soon, take a seat Richards." Merlin answered. As if waking from a dream, girl with a small nod sat across Eggsy. Merlin turned to both of them.

"Got your cover?" Merlin asked to double check.

"Yeah, Chester King. Get in the mainframe. Get out, yeah." Eggsy shrugged as if he had done it hundred of times. Merlin and Eggsy then turned to Sophie.

"I'm his plus one." Sophie answered. Merlin handed her a flash drive.

"To get in." He simply explained. Looking at it, Sophie furrowed her brows.

"What?" Eggsy asked.

"Here, I don't have pockets." Girl answered, leaning forward and giving the flash drive to Eggsy.

"Pretty useless dress for a mission." Eggsy putted the flash drive in his pocket.

"What she probably meant, Eggsy, is that her dress doesn't have pockets on the outside of it." Merlin explained before Sophie could retort back to the young lad. Eggsy looked from Merlin to Sophie, letting his eyes wander the length of her dress, briefly wondering where any pockets could possibly be. And somehow Sophie felt as if Eggsy was undressing her with his eyes. Shifting in her seat, Sophie looked at Merlin.

"You're not just any plus one. You are Arthur's wife, Richards." Merlin continued to explain. Sophie and Eggsy looked at each other for a split second.

"We're getting close." Merlin said getting up to go back to the cockpit, but before that giving something to Eggsy.

"What is that, Unwin?" Sophie asked crossing her hands on her chest and narrowing her eyes at him.

"Have to play the part, have to look the part, yeah?" Eggsy said, handing one golden band to Sophie. Unwillingly taking the ring from him, Sophie putted it on her finger. She was admiring it for a moment when Eggsy leaned forward and in curious tone asked:

"So... the pockets?"

Girl looked at him and it seemed that Eggsy was genuinely interested in answer. Sophie let her eyes drop to her lap and thought how to answer the question.
