My Gift Is You {A Taron Egerton/Rocketman Fanfic}

2. Sweetest Eyes

Staring up at Taron for the first time, seeing his handsome face smiling back at me with so much warmth, seemed to make my nerves float away. We are just meeting but yet, he makes it feel as if we've known each other all along. And he is so damn cute! I mean, I was speechless. I could barely make my mouth move to form any sort of words. And this is only the first day!

"Uh.... yeah! That's me. Yup. Katie." And that, is when I wanted to slap myself so hard upside the head. Or just hope I would get lucky enough for someone to come walking by with a prop bigger than me and take me out with it. But we just remained there, his eyes boring into mine.

"It's okay love. I promise I don't bite." His humored grin at me, instantly made me ease myself down some. I could see he was finding the humor in it. And I couldn't help but finally smile. I just.... I've never seen someone as cute as he is. And I feel like Uncle Elton and Uncle David really set me up for this one.

"I'm sorry. It's my first day. It's a lot to take in I guess." He chuckled from my held in breath finally making its way out, instantly making me feel that much better. I've seen Taron slightly from when Uncle Elton appeared in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. But I never fully saw him or even met him until now. And it was not a disappointment what so ever. No wonder Uncle Elton is crazy about him.

"I completely understand. It's overwhelming. But, we're going to have loads of fun. Don't you worry." He extended his hand out to me, gestured for me to take it. And I did, following him into his dressing room, seeing all the many outfits I've seen so many times ever since I was a little girl. Elton John. The most fabulously dressed man in history.

"I just can't get over how much they've already got you looking like him." My bright smile at everything set about for Taron seemed to make him smile even more so. I knew he was going to do a good job at this. He's an amazing actor. And he clearly does his research. I know he read my Uncles diaries for the filming process as well. All the crazy moments he had to endure, was laid right on those very pages. He's been through so much. And he's the strongest man I know.

"I appreciate that love. I just want it to be right. Do Elton proud. And I hope with this film, he'll see that." I grinned from ear to ear at his excitement for this amazing movie. I read over the script a week ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I couldn't put it down. Everything they have thought up to do, was definitely something I could see my Uncle thinking himself. Or even feeling. It was perfect. And I knew he'd love it. And Taron.

"Well you will Taron. Don't worry. I haven't even seen you in action yet. But I can already tell this is going to be the best experience of my life." And I meant every word. It was already becoming something special. And as I drug my fingers across the Dodgers outfit that is so iconic, I could just feel the goosebumps coming on. This was going to be something special.

"I really do think so." I looked at him through the mirror centered next to me, seeing his eyes meeting mine with his boyish grin on his face. Just.... something about him.

"Well today we're filming the entrance to The Bitch Is Back. And I honestly can't wait to see you in this outfit." I couldn't hide the smile very well. Or even the laugh that was bubbling up in my stomach. He was going to be wearing this orange, sequined devil's outfit with big horns and everything. And just envisioning him in it, was hilarious. But then again, kind of hot. Am I crazy? Possibly.

"It's certainly an extravagant outfit. I think I can work it." His little smile made me laugh, his eyes dancing with humor from it. I didn't have any doubt in my mind that he could. Between filming and then being in the studio to record the soundtrack for the film, he's got his work cut out for him. But he can definitely do it.

"Well, there's no doubt about that Mr. Egerton." I picked up the outfit, looking over it in the mirror, my smile never wavering. I just love them so much. My uncle has such a bright mind. I absolutely love it. And as I handed the outfit over to Taron, seeing him smiling at me yet again, it made me feel completely at ease. Seeing him in these outfits, reliving moments from my uncles life, is going to be so surreal. Like I'm watching his life unfold before me.

"I guess it's showtime then huh?" He looked himself over in the mirror, before I became so bold. More bold than I ever have in my life. I kissed his cheek. Maybe some of my uncles essences is finally coming out in me because before, the thought of doing that would have my cheeks aflame.

"Good luck kiss? I'm honored." His little smile and slight chuckle made me grin, before I softly let myself out of the room for him to get ready, closing the door behind me and leaning up against it with my smile only growing bigger by the minute. I finally moved after a few minutes to walk off and start the day, when I stopped in my tracks from singing. Taron's singing.

"Yours are the sweetest eyes.... I've ever seen." His voice... it's amazing. I couldn't tear myself away from the door. He was incredible. What can't he do?

"He's got a voice doesn't he?" I about jumped out of my skin from the sudden voice looming over me like I'd been caught with my hand in the cookie jar, looking up to see Richard Madden standing there. Another incredible actor.

"Oh my gosh. I must look so stupid. But.... you're right. I couldn't stop listening." I said with a chuckle leaving my mouth. He smiled at me, looking behind me with humor shining in his eyes at something. And I was so embarrassed to even turn around and look.

"He's behind me isn't he?" Richard died laughing from the look on my face, when Taron's cute laughter filled my ears like the sweetest music, answering my question. But when I finally turned to look at him, it was like a totally different person was standing there. He was dressed perfectly in the outfit, the trademark heart shaped glasses looking so perfect on him. He just looked.... perfect! The horns were so big. The wings were massive. And it all hugged him, showing off his body and what he's working with. Which my god.... I have to look so stupid.

"The devil my dear, has come to collect." I smiled like an idiot from his joking tone, before he kissed my cheek, winking at me.

"Well look at you. You're ready I think." Richard and I couldn't stop staring at Taron. He just looked brilliant. My uncle would be proud. And this? Was only the beginning.

I'm sorry for changing up the story! But I figured it would be more interesting this way. Although I'm still going to add certain things that I used before. A bit of fantasy elements, like the movie. I'm really excited to write more for this story. And I really do hope everyone will enjoy! 😘
