Give Me A Chance (Eggsy Unwin X Reader)

"You want me to what?" You asked in disbelief. Your eyes flicked from Eggs-Galahad, you mentally corrected, to your beagle puppy, BB.

"Shoot it." Eggsy repeated, and you looked at him, a deep frown etched onto your lips.

You turned the gun over in your hand, before shaking your head. "I can't. I'm not going to shoot my dog just to join the Kingsman. I'm sorry, but it's not worth it."

You're not worth it. Was what Eggsy heard, and ouch, okay, that hurt a little bit. Sure, you weren't actually dating, but Eggsy liked you and he had flirted with you constantly during your Kingsman training. You insisted, however, that you couldn't even give him a chance until after you became a Kingsman. Now, it looked as though Eggsy would never even get a shot with you.

Eggsy looked at you for a moment, before stepping closer to you and pressing the gun more firmly into your hand. "It's a blank." Eggsy murmured, so softly that you barely caught it, but when you did, you snapped your gaze up to his.

He wasn't supposed to tell you that. He wasn't supposed to help you pass training in any way.

For half a second, you thought that maybe Eggsy was lying, but his eyes were pleading with you to just pull the goddamn trigger, the dog'll be fine, and you believed him. You slowly lined your gun up with BB's forehead, unable to stop your hand from shaking because even if it was a blank, that was still the dog you had raised, and reluctantly pulled the trigger.

BB barked at the sudden noise, but she was unhurt, and you grinned widely, scooping her into your arms and handing the gun back to Eggsy.

"Thank you," You mouthed to Eggsy just as the door swung open and Merlin and Lancelot stepped in. Lancelot was grinning at you and Merlin was congratulating you, but you were too distracted by the surprisingly soft smile on Eggsy's face to respond right away.

When you did respond at last, it was with a soft blush that you desperately hoped Lancelot and Merlin wouldn't notice.

They didn't, but Eggsy definitely did.

--------------------------------

"Why did you help me?" You asked curiously, walking next to Eggsy as BB chased her tail a couple yards ahead of you.

"Because if you didn't shoot the dog, you wouldn't have made it into the Kingsman." Eggsy said with a shrug. "And then I would've never had a chance with you." Eggsy said quietly, and you stopped walking and turned to look at him fully.

"I appreciate it, Eggsy, I really do, but now I just feel guilty." You said, frowning. "I don't deserve to be a Kingsman, I couldn't follow a simple instruction and-"

Eggsy rolled his eyes and cut your sentence short by kissing you swiftly. "Don't feel guilty, yeah? I was the one that told you the answer; you didn't ask for it, I gave it to you." You were in too much of a daze to come up with a response. You knew that he had flirted with you, but you hadn't believed that he actually liked you. "Besides, I couldn't shoot my dog either, and I'm still a Kingsman."

"How'd that happen?" You questioned, knitting your eyebrows together as you tried to figure out the possible scenario that allowed him to still join the Kingsman when he failed the last test.

"It's a long story," Eggsy started, and you didn't trust the sly grin that appeared on his face. "Let's say I'll tell you all about it over dinner?"

"I'm a Kingsman for, what, two hours?, and you're already asking me out?" You weren't complaining, but it was fun to tease him.

"I'm nothing if not persistent." Eggsy pointed out, and took a step closer to you, one hand tilting your chin up so that your eyes were locked with his own. You noticed the mischievous glint in his eye and you were going to comment on it, but Eggsy spoke again before you could. "Besides, I do seem to recall you promising you'd give me a shot once you officially joined the Kingsman."

Your sudden smile surprised him, as did your lips pressing gently against his. Eggsy barely had time to start kissing you back before you were pulling away, bright grin still firmly in place.

"Dinner it is then, Galahad." You said, and Eggsy couldn't stop the wide smile that stretched across his lips. "Pick me up at six!" You called out over your shoulder, BB held tight in your arms as you walked away from him.

"Where are you going?" Eggsy called back, and you paused, turning around just far enough to wink at him.

"Gotta get myself ready, don't I? Wouldn't want to disappoint for our first date."

"Please, love, you could wear a paper bag and I'd still want to tear it off you."

You turned back around, trying to hide the blush that was rapidly staining your cheeks, but Eggsy had already seen it and was grinning to himself.

"I'll see you at six, Eggsy." You said, now thoroughly flustered, and started to walk away again.

"See you then, __y/n__." Eggsy murmured, fist pumping the air the moment you were out of sight.

He was going to make sure this was the best first date you ever had, or his name wasn't Eggsy Unwin.

End.  <3
