[Eggsy feels like he's being dishonest, but he'd rather just talk to Billy face to face. Come clean sort of. He's sitting on his bed when Billy gets there, fidgeting with his jacket sleeve, talking quietly to Stark.]
[Okay, so... Billy's not sure he believes that 'it's fine' or not, but when he gets to Eggsy's room, he just gives a pleasant enough smile and short wave.]
[Eggsy stands up, smoothing out his jacket and fixing his hat. He clears his throat once, shrugging a shoulder to try and appear like everything's not about to be weird.]
I wanted to tell you that, um.
[Well, shit.]
I think you're great an' Loki's great. You guys are great together. [Not exactly what he was going for, but he's getting there.]
I know we're just gettin' to know each other, and I think you're a nice guy, but. Just think ya should know that he must care an awful lot about ya cause he'd never do anythin' to hurt ya. Don't hurt him either?
[Eggsy lowers his voice, because he doesn't think Billy's the sort to hurt Loki, but somebody's gotta look out for him. It's also probably not his place to be saying anything to Billy, but he kind of thinks Loki is wonderful so that makes it feel like he should protect him some.]
[Billy is quiet for a long moment, thoughtful. He could picture this conversation maybe happening with Loki's brother...
Or well. Actually, Thor probably would have been warning him about Loki and all the mischief. It's how it usually went, anyway.
The fact that it's coming from Eggsy, and the words he's choosing-- well, it's set Billy a bit on edge a bit, a discomfort settling in. It's not like he's clueless or anything, or that he and Loki haven't talked about Eggsy's... feelings? Crush? Whatever it was. They'd talked about it a bit.
It's something he pushes back quickly though. He likes Eggsy a lot, honestly, and letting any stupid jealousy ruin it isn't what he wants.]
I'm not planning on it, believe me. Loki's all I've had for a while and I can't imagine doing anything to risk losing him. [He hesitates, looking at Eggsy thoughtfully.]
[Life's never easy, he thinks, or this sort of shit wouldn't be happening to him. He'd just wanted to talk to Billy, though he hadn't been sure about what exactly, then the guy comes to his room and he's telling him not to hurt his own boyfriend. And Eggsy can't help but think he sounds like an idiot, mumbling about stuff that isn't his business. If Eggsy were the shy sort, he'd have backed out already.]
Just you know. Was just.
[Eggsy scrubs his hand over the back of his neck, rolling a shoulder.]
M'sorry. I want you to know that, yeah? I didn't mean to like 'im. Or to like you either. I promise it won't be a problem.
[Because Eggsy seems a little-- agitated? worked up a bit? He can certainly imagine why, considering the topic here. Of all the situations Billy thought he'd face, this... wasn't one of them. But then again, neither was being with Loki or being in hell for some months.
He shifts his weight and idly rubs at the back of his head, trying to thin of how to answer. To be honest, saying stupid crap and sticking his foot in his own mouth is way more familiar territory for him, stopping and thinking isn't.]
Like telling me to be nice to my own significant other? [He manages a slight smile to try to show he's just teasing mostly.] Look, I know it's... complicated. I know how you feel... and I know how he feels, for that matter.
[Eggsy takes a deep breath, and he's trying to relax, keep his cool, but he feels like an ass.]
I shouldn't 'ave said anythin'. Swear down, it won't be a problem. Just needed to come clean, an' I didn't know I was gonna say all that.
[After everything that had happened to him, Eggsy didn't want to be miserable here. He wanted to put it all out there and try to be happy in this place if he could be.]
How he feels? He already told me, Billy. He wants to be with ya and won't do anythin' to mess that up. 'Sides, I'm no cheat.
I've said a lot of stupid stuff in the heat of the moment, so... I mean, I guess demanding someone not hurt anyone else is actually not that bad in the scheme of things.
[He wishes he had got a hint earlier that this might be the topic. Billy's been too busy trying to work it out on his own, how to even... approach it, or if it's better to ignore it.
Now it's out in the open and impossible to shrug off.]
He's a god. I don't know if monogamy is something in their vocabulary... at least in Loki's, you know. Not usually.
[He gives a wry smile.] He'd kiss you in a heart beat, probably. I was freaked out when we came here, Eggsy... We came from a terrible place, and when I heard he was flirting with other people, when you came up... I asked him not to do anything. There's a lot of reasons why I asked that, but the thing is? [He shrugs his shoulders absently. He's not sure he's making any sense and talking about where he came from makes him a bit skittish anyway. Idly, he rubs a finger over his wrist, tracing an old S-shaped scar that he usually tries to draw as little attention to as possible. A companion to Loki's.] I don't know if it works, at least for us right now. And I like you, Eggsy. I trust you're not trying to cause trouble... that you wouldn't do anything to hurt either of us.
Maybe not, but he's choosin' not to be with anyone else cause he doesn't want to hurt ya. Sounds pretty monogamous to me.
[Billy made Loki different, then. That's how it seemed to Eggsy, and he couldn't see how that was a bad thing.
His eyes flick down to the scar and he frowns, but doesn't say anything about it. Eggsy knows everyone's got problems, things that bother them, and he's not the sort to force anyone to talk about it.]
If you told 'im not to do anythin', and you don't want anythin' to happen, then I respect that, yeah?
[Eggsy crosses the room, stopping in front of Billy.]
I like you, too. Doesn't make much sense does it? Had a bit of a thing for ya ever since we met and rode that transporter down together. Then there's Loki, an' I like 'im, too. [He smiles, but it's almost sad.] Swear m'not normally this way. Figures that the first time I really like someone, it'd be two someones and they'd be datin' already.
I know-- I know that's why he does it. Loki's done a lot for me.
small>[He lets out a short sigh, watching Eggsy as he comes closer. Maybe he shouldn't, but... that look on Eggsy's face makes him want to at least, so he chances stepping a bit closer and reaching out for his hand at least.]
Believe me... I can understand ending up in situations you never thought of before. [He rubs his thumb lightly over his hand, soothing hopefully.]
And this is pretty crazy. [But then again, so was ending up on a space ship straight out of hell. You kind of have to learn to roll with the crazy, right?] Maybe it's stupid to fight it if-- there's something there, between us. All of us, I mean.
[Eggsy curls his fingers, scooting closer, bumping his foot against Billy's. His eyes are down, watching the movement of Billy's thumb across his good hand.]
Is pretty crazy, yeah.
[He has no clue how to navigate any of this. Should he go? He doesn't want to. Should he kiss Billy right now? Well, he sure as fuck wants to. Eggsy isn't sure how to do any of this, but there is something he's sure of. That if he doesn't take a risk, when it feels like the right time to take that risk, that he'd never get anywhere.]
Billy, I really wanna kiss ya right now. [Eggsy turns their hands over, eyes flicking up to his mouth then his eyes cause staring isn't attractive.] An' maybe it is stupid to fight it, if we all want this, but I don't wanna do anythin' you don't want me to.
[He smiles at that, warm and soft. It's not like that's a bad thing to hear-- especially when he really wants to, after all of this. But... it's a little hard to when he's just heard about how Loki's been faithful to him all because he asked.]
I'd say yes in a second if Loki knew about all this...
[He tilts his head thoughtfully.] Will a hug do until we talk to him?
[They're already pretty close, so Eggsy dips in, slipping his arms around Billy's waist. He leaves it up to the other man what kind of hug it's going to be. Firm, light, anything. When they're finished hugging, Eggsy leans back but keeps his hands on Billy's shoulders.]
Can I court ya? Come by sometime and take ya both out on a proper date.
[Cause he is a gentleman, well, he's working on it. He wonders if Loki would like that, maybe they could talk him into it.]
[He grins a little, sliding his arms up around Eggsy when he leans in like that. He holds on tight for a moment, tipping his head in against his shoulder before Eggsy leans back.
He laughs a little. Court? That was... really adorable.]
Definitely. I'd love that... and I'm sure Loki will too.
[He gives a smile, warm and maybe just a little on the flirty side. He can't help it, really, especially not right now.] I mean, spending the night with two of my favorite people? Sounds great.
[Eggsy sighs softly, a pleased smile curving his mouth, and he thinks that it is a nice change of pace to be standing here with his arms around someone, talking about things like dating and normal stuff that people do.]
Didn't know I was one of your favorites, Billy. Kinda nice, yeah?
[He starts to rub his thumb back and forth across Billy's shoulder, mirroring the way the other had moved his when they'd held hands. Eggsy thinks they're probably still too close, considering that he already wanted to kiss him; he doesn't pull away though.]
I um, got some films we could watch. Hope you don't mind classics.
[Eggsy shifts his hips, relaxing into the half embrace they've got going on, chewing his lower lip as he thinks it over.]
Bruce lent me Casablanca. It's the library's though, and they've got a few things. Though some of them I've never heard of. Don't think they're from my world or one like it.
