The alarm was sounded at eleven in the morning, the day after Eggsy visited.
The alarms should have gone off before then, but Harry had hacked the machines, pulling and stripping wires and looping the feedback back into itself so there was no sign that he was no longer connected.
He had borrowed clothes by picking his way through the hospital, acquiring one item after another, cards and pass codes and by the time he left, he was dressed and had loose cash, a pilfered phone from a wanker who refused to turn it off and said wanker's credit card, which he used to withdraw the maximum he could and then tossed.
With more CCTV than any other city in the world, he then vanished off the grid.
By the time Eggsy was brought in by Merlin at quarter past midday, Merlin was waiting for another ping from a new internet cafe, the various footage of Harry's escape running behind him, being analysed by technicians for any hints.
"He realised he'd been made and vanished from the last internet cafe in under two minutes. He was off the cameras again within five. You're being authorised to locate and bring in Galahad, before he becomes a target or, worse, gives himself a stroke."

He hadn't blamed Harry. Not like his mum had. Yet he had spent his entire life blaming a man he didn't know for being there that day, to the point of "using" him the day he'd gotten picked up. He couldn't know it would turn out like this.

Date: 2016-06-04 05:32 am (UTC)He barely remembered his dad, though he worshiped him in his own mind but it was easy to talk about him like this because he hadn't known him.

Date: 2016-06-04 05:46 am (UTC)There was almost a pleading quality to his tones then, worried for Harry.

Date: 2016-06-04 05:51 am (UTC)"I'm rather worried if I focus on here and now, you, us, that I'm going to try seducing again and I have given you my word on that."

Date: 2016-06-05 01:53 am (UTC)Chuckling softly, he stroked his fingers along Harry's cheek. "And you know I want that," he said in a low voice, not hiding it when everyone paying attention - please don't be paying attention Merlin - knew. "And... maybe I get you want to be with me and did before but you didn't want me to know, and I need to make sure you don't regret that," he said in a low voice.
Then, leaning in, lightly brushing his lips against Harry's mouth.

Harry felt, wanted, went for it because he couldn't remember why he shouldn't. Eggsy kissed him and Harry surged forward into it, taking control of the kiss. His hand caught Eggsy's jaw, as he knelt over him, tilting his head up and bearing down into him.

Date: 2016-06-05 07:00 pm (UTC)Even if he didn't want to think about what Merlin said, about Harry never being in relationships, and having to consider if what Harry wanted was just the physical side of things between them and nothing more. He couldn't let himself think about that.
Especially not when Harry was kissing him like that and it left every part of Eggsy feeling alive, electric, beyond all he'd let himself feel since even before he'd lost Harry.
Not even biting back a groan as his lips parted, his hand sliding back, catching the back of Harry's neck as if he was afraid he was going to move away.

Date: 2016-06-06 01:09 am (UTC)He wanted to make Eggsy chase and beg and then take him apart until he didn't remember his own name.
A short, sharp alarm sounded.
"Galahad! What part of 'nothing strenuous' was unclear?!"
no subject
Date: 2016-06-06 01:38 am (UTC)And then that blasted voice.
"Oh come on," he roared, shifting back and away from Harry, looking up toward where the camera was. "It's a bloody kiss," he sighed, slumping. Because dammit, he knew that Merlin was right, but fucking hell.

Date: 2016-06-06 01:46 am (UTC)There was nothing for it, though. Here was monitored and he wasn't inclined to give Merlin a private show. "When I get out of medical..."

Date: 2016-06-06 01:49 am (UTC)"M'Sorry," he murmured softly, not wanting to move away. "Now you're gonna think I'm a damn tease," he admitted, starting to feel that way himself.

no subject
Date: 2016-06-06 02:36 am (UTC)"Well, I did. Mostly because you weren't there and I looked a bit like you in the suit," he said, dismissing all he had done, all of the people he had killed to save the rest of the world.
