Breathless || Taron Egerton [✔️]

The First Date

You walk side-by-side with Taron and he explains everything about the woods you walk through. He tells you about his past, where he was born (Birkenhead), and some of his family that still lived in London.

"So, how long have you lived in Muswell Hill?" Taron asked, switching the conversation to you.

"I just moved here," you say, "My grandparents died and they had the estate. My mom said I should move here and out of our little home in the United States, so I did. I was aiming for the role of Blackwood and got it. That made me happy. I think it helps people know why I moved instead of saying I just moved to get out of the house I was in."

He looks at you and takes a strand of hair in your hand. His hair is tousled a bit in the back of his head and you want to smooth it down for him. 

"Your hair is such a beautiful shade of Y/H/C. And your eyes, wow." he complimented you, gesturing towards your E/C eyes. 

Blushing, you look at him, and realize all over again why you loved him in the movie Kingsman. His eyes look like the soft grass that slips in between your toes during the first month or two of summer. His jaw line was soft. He was beautiful. 

"Thank you," you say, "I appreciate it." 

The red was starting to disappear in your cheeks. Taron dropped the tendril of hair you had and took your hand. He led you down a small path that led out to a cafe.

"Rydych chi'n hardd." he said, smiling down at you. 

You were smaller than him, but he was only 5'9", short for a 28-year-old man. Your height was short too, but you were a woman and a year younger than him.

"What?" you ask, confused by the sudden accent and language he took on.

"It's Welsh for you're beautiful," he chuckled, "and it's true too."

After splitting a large piece of cake between both of you (you'd have to work it off sooner or later), he went back up to the counter and asked the barista something. You take a sip of your coffee and look out the window. Clouds are starting to gather, and you stare at them longingly. How did your dream come true? That your crush would actually end up working with you and he would fall in love with you.

"Hey," Taron said, "I got a ball to play with."

He winked at you naughtily, and you laughed. Walking outside, you could smell the rain that was sure to be there soon, but he seemed oblivious to it. 

Just when you blocked him from scoring a goal, the rain started to pour down on both of you. There wasn't even a warning drizzle. He laughed loudly. 

Kiss him, your brain screamed, now, in the rain. It'll be romantic.

He pulled you into his embrace, your head against his chest. 

"You're so small." he teased. 

You blushed again. The rain now felt like little pellets that were stinging the back of your head. He pulled off his shirt and used it as an umbrella over you. His abs were right in front of your face. Well, metaphorically, anyway. You stared, dumfounded, no longer feeling the rain as it hit your clothes instead of you.

"Taron, I." you said, looking for the words to say.

"Taron, thank you." you say, smiling up at him. 

And then he kisses you, pulling your lips back together. He presses hard into you, his lips soft against yours. 

As your chest pressed into his, he pulled his face away. You could't stop smiling.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that." he said, looking frustrated with himself.

His brow was furrowed but it smoothed out again as you lead the kiss this time.

"Do you feel so bad about it now?" you ask.

"No," he smiled, "Not at all."

You finish up the date soon after and head home. Thinking about telling Aubrey about what happened, you look around for your phone. Something clangs around in the washer, and you realize what it was. Your phone had been in your coat pocket and you forgot to get it out before washing the jacket. The washer stopped. You were an hour too late. Looks like you'd have to get a new phone. 

The smile on your face wasn't going to be ruined by just a little bad luck and a few hundreds gone from your pocket. That kiss was special, for it was with Taron Egerton.
