Author notes: It's not mine. Also it's slightly frightening how much these challenges fit to my life, since I have been greatly discouraged from using my voice since a few days before this one was issued. Hope you enjoy!
Summary: Eggsy and Mycroft have been together for some time before Eggsy vanished when he was offered the position at Kingsman. Now he thinks that he's about to die and has to make sure that he man he loves knows that he loves him.


Eggsy knew that there was a good chance that he would not get out of Valentine’s base alive. That was why he had asked Roxy to call his mum. However there was one other call he had to make. One other person he had to save.
“Merlin?” he asked. “You still got my phone in the plane?”
Merlin made an acknowledging sound.
“I need you to patch me through to speed dial one on my phone,” Eggsy said, still running and trying to get back to the ballroom where Valentine was.
“Why?” Merlin asked, doing his best to slow down the speed which it took to reconnect the satellites while still telling Eggsy the shortest route.
“Phone, now, do as you’re told,” Eggsy said, so much authority in his voice that Merlin’s fingers were already doing what the young man wanted without much input from Merlin’s brain. The connection was established a moment later.
“Where are you, Eggsy?” the male voice on the other end of the line asked coldly and Eggsy nearly sagged in relief at hearing it.
“I’m sorry. I love you,” Eggsy said in a rush, desperation clearly audible for anyone listening. “I need you to go into your bunker and lock yourself in there, alone and without any of those free sim cards Richmond Valentine distributed. I also need you to tell Anthea to do the same and call your brother and his family to tell them to get away from John’s gun and to safety. Can you do that for me?”
There was such urgency in Eggsy’s voice, coupled with the sound of the gunshots and one explosion that Mycroft Holmes, the man on the other end of the line, did as he was told without asking, his earlier irritation all but forgotten.
“Is there anything else?” he asked, voice clipped.
“Order the police and the military to lock away their guns,” Eggsy said, just as he was cornered.
“Merlin, I’m fucked,” he said, knowing that the line to Mycroft was still open and that the other man could hear everything. It did not matter though. There were more important things right now. At least he could be sure that, even while listening, Mycroft was doing everything in his power to make sure that the police and the military would only have limited access to guns when the satellite connected, because in Eggsy’s mind there was no question as to whether it would or not.
Also, this way, he could at least say goodbye.
“As am I,” Merlin replied, sounding rather worried.
“They’re coming at me from both sides, I’m out of options,” Eggsy said. “I’m sorry, love. I’m sorry I left with no explanation. I’m sorry, I broke your heart, but I love you. I love you now and always will. I’m sorry I’m about to leave you again.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Merlin said and Eggsy wasn’t quite sure if it was because of what he had said or because of something that the older agent was seeing.
“I love, you too, you idiot,” Mycroft answered and that was all that Eggsy needed to want to survive.
“Merlin, remember those implants, you said were no use to us?” he asked quickly. “Any chance you can turn them on?”
The young man could hear Merlin mutter over the line while he was preparing to be riddled with holes anyway. He could barely believe his eyes when the heads started flying.
“Eggsy, is there a reason that half my bodyguards just lost their heads?” Mycroft asked.
“Shit,” Eggsy breathed, knowing that this meant that Valentine had known about Mycroft, but also known that he couldn’t just let him disappear and would never be able to convince him to join him. However, none of that mattered now as Eggsy did his best to stay alive and take out Valentine with Mycroft’s and Merlin’s voices still in his ear.
