Eggsy Unwin

Dangerous Women

Standing in the women’s toilet in the Kingsman HQ, I tried to ready myself for the day ahead. My most recent mission was exhausting and I hadn’t fully recovered. There was no break for us agents though. However, my task today was just to gather information for our next mission, which I hoped wasn’t for at least another week. Straightening my pencil skirt and making sure all of my hair was pinned back, I took a deep breath before walking out.

Exiting the toilets, I jumped in surprise when I saw Eggsy leaning on the other side of the corridor. Ignoring him, I walked away, cursing in my mind.

“Good mornin’ (Y/N).” he greeted as he walked beside me.

“Were you waiting outside the women’s toilets for me?” I hissed. I really didn’t want to deal with this.

“No! Well, I guess-”

I quickened my pace.“Eggsy, I really don’t have time for this. I’ve got a lot of work to get some today.”

He easily kept up.“(Y/N), just-”

“Galahad!” Eggsy’s codename was called out. Before he could say anything else, I dashed away, relieved to get away from him.

Eggsy was such a sweet guy, a real asset to Kingsman. We started working here about the same time, having to go on missions together too. He was very charming, handsome and easy to talk to. I really liked him and valued our friendship. However he thought about us differently. It has been subtle at first, the flirting was innocent before he turned serious about what we could be. Eggsy had already tried asking me out, about four times actually, each time I said no. It was lovely to see is persistent he was, but not good when we were stuck in a life or death situation.

Slumping down in a chair, I logged into the computer, taking out my stationary. Researching was always a long process, especially when you couldn’t find any leads; it could take you days before you found anything that would help you build a case for a mission. It had been about an hour staring at a computer before I needed to find a book. The library was huge, there were rows and rows of books; the system to find the books was good but it could still take a while to find what you were looking for.

It had been ten minutes and I still hadn’t found the book I needed. I was beginning to grow frustrated. I really needed this book, I could not be behind schedule.

“Looking for this?” someone said beside me.

Looking to my right, I saw Eggsy holding up the book I needed. Reaching out to grab it, he held it up higher, knowing I couldn’t reach. I could have easily knocked him to the ground but I didn’t want to hurt him nor make too much noise.

“Eggsy, please may I have the book?” I held hand out, not wanting to play his games.

“May I please have an explanation as to why you are always running away from me?” he asked, looking hurt.

I felt a bit of guilt rise in me.“I really need to complete my work, the information is important.”

“It’s a simple question.”

I huffed.“No it’s not. It’s actually very complicated.”

“Not if we actually talked about it-” he was distracted with his words, giving me a chance to snatch the book out of his hands.
