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.
[Eggsy would rather he hung out a while, but he kind of felt that Loki deserved to know everything that happened. And despite what Loki said about Eggsy's control, he's not sure he can be this close, wanting to kiss Billy, and not kissing Billy.]
You should go.
[He squeezes Billy's shoulders, lingers a moment, then steps back.]
S'probably best you talk to him, ya know. Before we go doin' any hangin' out.
[Eggsy wraps his arms firmly, nudging the side of Billy's head with his own, knocking his hat askew. When Billy steps back, he straightens up his hat, and follows Billy to the door.]
Yeah, don't be a stranger. Ain't gotta roommate and always got this MID on.

He grins a little though.]
That's great! I still have the Sound of Music, if you like it.
no subject
We should watch that. I ain't seen it since I was a boy, but I remember likin' all the songs.
[His smirk turns to a grin, picturing Loki sandwiched between them, stuck watching all kinds of films.]
Maybe you could text me or somethin' sometime, or let me know when you's both are free.
[Which is his way of also saying to let him know if it's not okay with Loki anymore.]
no subject
[He smiles a bit. Movie night sounds almost too normal to be real at this point, but it sounds amazing.]
I should probably go and see if I can find him anyway- [Or at least put some space between them until they all know more of where this is going...
Even if he kinda doesn't want to. He's not lying when he says he really does like hanging out with Eggsy.]
Unless you'd rather I hang around for a while?
no subject
You should go.
[He squeezes Billy's shoulders, lingers a moment, then steps back.]
S'probably best you talk to him, ya know. Before we go doin' any hangin' out.

Stepping forward, he slides an arm around Eggsy again, in a more proper hug before he takes a step back.]
I'll see you later, okay?
[And yeah, he should... definitely go now.]
no subject
Yeah, don't be a stranger. Ain't gotta roommate and always got this MID on.
[He smiles, a half-quirked thing.]
See ya around, Billy.
