*A Few Days Later*

"It's been a while since we've done this," I smirk at Eggsy.

"It has been a while," Eggsy smirks back at me. "This will be just like old times. Can you still do basic gymnastics?"

"Yeah," I stick my tongue out at my boyfriend.

"What should we start out with?"

"How about I just show you?" I place a kiss on his cheek.

"Wow me, babe," Eggsy motions to the padded floor.

I tighten my ponytail, skipping onto the floor. Then I take a deep breath before taking a few quick steps, launching into a round-off. My feet hit the ground as a pair, and then I am doing a back-hand-spring, and then another, and another, and another.

"Shit Prim, that was good," Eggsy claps as I stand catching my breath.

"Thank you," I bow. "Four back-hand-springs in a row was a bit much, but I did it."

"Can you do some jumps, like you'd do if you were jumping over people or dodging bullets?"

I nod, "I'll do my best."

The next few minutes are spent rushing around, jumping over invisible objects, and dodging imaginary bullets. It's like when kids a fighting each other but they don't have weapons, so they just pretend that things are happening.

"Looks like you are still quite skilled," Eggsy taps my nose. "I had no doubt about it, of course, but it's always nice to see."

"Sure," I roll my eyes, smiling at the dork in front of me. "What are you going to teach me now that you know my skill level?"

"I'm thinking of a back tuck. Do you think you can handle that?"

"Can I have a demonstration, please" I push my bottom out in a tiny pout.

"Only because you're so cute," he winks.

I giggle, pressing my lips to his for a few seconds.

He pulls away, a grin on his lips as he steps away to show me the move.

It doesn't seem that difficult of a move. It's kind of like a backflip, but you curl into a tighter ball at the apex of the back spin.

"You'll make sure I don't fall flat on my face, right?" I take a deep breath as I imagine myself doing the move.

"Of course not, babe," Eggsy places a hand on my lower back, and another one hovers over the back of my knees. "Trust me, if you are going to fall, I'll catch you."

I run a hand through his hair, "I trust you with my life."

The first few times I don't fully flip backwards. Instead I just practice the act of tucking at the height of the jump. Then I start doing the whole move, with a lo of help from Eggsy. Eventually, I am doing the move with little to no help. It's still not perfect, but I'm learning how to be better every time I attempt the move.

"Please don't step away," I whine as Eggsy pulls his hands away from me.

"I am not stepping away," Eggsy presses his lips to my cheek. "I'll be close enough to help if you look like you aren't going to make it all the way."

"Okay, if you say so," I take a deep breath. "Here I go then."

The tuck goes almost flawlessly until I land awkwardly and begin to fall face first. True to his word, Eggsy is right there to catch me before I hit the floor. However, that means that I land on him instead.
