There were only about three things Eggsy truly thought he couldn't live without and would do anything to keep these...possessions, in all manners and forms, safe and happy.

The first possession which he thought most important over all was Harry Hart, which wasn't really his possession but more or less a fatherly figure that he included in the 'Mine' category of his brain. Harry Hart was quite literally his knight in shining armor that convinced him that there was more to life than petty thievery and adolescent crimes. Harry Hart gave Eggsy a life that he could be proud of and could make something of himself with and he would forever be in debt to Harry for that. This is why Eggsy would always keep an extra eye on Harry in the most dangerous of situations. Yes, Eggsy knew Harry probably knew more than him defense and offense wise but he still had a strong power of-of protection that would engulf him when things went to shit. During small missions with Harry Eggsy would immediately find Harry in the war zone and make sure Harry was alright before thinking about saving his own ass. This is why Eggsy thought-no, knew that he could not function properly without Harry.

The second possession Eggsy was protective over was JB, his pup soon to be pug. JB at first had troubles growing to be a compliant and trustful dog but soon enough he softened a little and JB began to trust Eggsy as Eggsy slowly began to trust the dog. JB never really did anything cool or fantastic as the big dogs did in the field but in Eggsy's eyes, the dog worked miracles every night. Considering Eggsy hadn't grown up with the—ideal family, Eggsy would wake up ready for combat and sometimes Roxy would hold his hands and run her fingers through his hair until he went back to sleep but that was rare seeing as he didn't make noises in his restless slumbering. No, on nights like those JB would immediately wake and lick his face to ground him then when he got his composure back he would give JB a small whistle and the small pug would hop off the bed and do a thorough search of the room before coming back to the bed walking in three full circles when everything was clear, only walking in two if something was suspicious and walking in one and barking if there was immediate danger, then Eggsy would slide back into bed and get a few hours of rest but never sleep. This is why Eggsy knew he could not function properly without JB.

The third possession Eggsy cherished and kept safe was the medal of valor snug against his neck. So far Roxy was the only person who had actually asked about the medal and she was the only person he was willing to explain its value to. To him the medal was a sense of security because when he was about to be in the shits with the police he had used it for its value and Harry Hart had came. This medal had presented him with a father figure and new life, it was a powerful source of luck and his security blanket. This is why on the first night of initiation he had flipped his shit.

Eggsy was running, he wasn't sure from what but he was running from the loud sound catching up to him from behind. He didn't dare turn around because he would probably get caught or trip but the sound was becoming a roaring so loud that he suddenly couldn't think anymore so he turned around. Eggsy froze and watched as a large tidal wave engulfed him, suffocated him and then his eyes snapped open.

Eggsy realized the dream was originated from the water currently filling the room so he scanned the room for any personalities of danger. When he found none and all the young adults slowly rising from bed he jumped up and gave a yell to wake their senses. Soon everyone began taking action but it was all wrong. Eggsy felt helpless as they shouted random words like, "Shower heads," and "toilets," Eggsy didn't understand why they didn't check the door first. He felt the water reach his neck and took a deep breath before diving under water and towards the door. When he pulled on the handle he realized it was futile and he should've known it wouldn't be that easy so he turned to the other recruits and watched them watch him like an anomaly.

That's when he noticed the mirror.

Eggsy didn't know if it was a two way but at the same time what kind of operation like this wouldn't keep secret tabs on their initiates? So he went for it, planting his feet on the door he pushed towards the glass and settled himself on it in a crouching position by holding on to a nearby faucet. With what little breath he had left Eggsy put everything into his fist and started pounding on the mirror. Melodic crunches echoed throughout the water and cracks slowly spread from the spot Eggsy had punished. Eggsy realized what was about to happen and got into a fetal position to prepare for the worst which was finally being able to catch his breath and seeing Merlin with a disappointing look on his face.

Eggsy knew some dialog was happening between Merlin and Charlie but he couldn't quite gasp the sounds and realized he was having a panic attack. This startled Eggsy because he hadn't had a panic attack since he was 13 and lost his mothers ring, a ring which he still had on him. Eggsy didn't understand the reason for his panic attack until he reached a hand up to his neck and didn't feel the gold chain. Merlin set a hand on Eggsy's shoulder causing him to shoot through the broken two way mirror and to his bed and locker. He attempted to get in deep gulps of air as he began tearing apart his bed, shreds of it flying behind him before he stopped and ripped his clothes apart looking for a small glimpse or something to show him it was still there.

Eggsy faintly heard people calling his name but he couldn't concentrate, there was darkness clouding his vision and he felt shivers rack his freezing body. His hands fell from the locker and he fell to the ground to put his head in between his knees and try and catch his breath. He was terrified because his lungs wouldn't work.

Are they failing?

Eggsy felt sobs tear through his mouth and was ashamed that everyone was witnessing him breaking down for a fucking medal but it meant so much to him. Seeing as Eggsy was trying to control his emotions and breathing he didn't expect the warm hand that found his back and slowly rubbed circles over it. His breathing slowly but surely got easier and his sobs quieted to small sniffles. Those warm hands then pulled him into their chest and he felt safe. He somehow knew that even if he didn't have the medal of valor on him he was safe. He knew that he wouldn't get attacked by a crazy step dad or in his sleep from Charlie or Digby and even if he did he knew he would be safe.

When Eggsy finally had the gall to look up he caught Harry's dark brown eyes and quickly looked away with a blush. Great, Harry had caught him in the middle of a mental break down.

"When do I need to have my bags packed?" Eggsy asked timidly without moving.

Eggsy felt Harry stiffen and hoped he wouldn't pull his arms away. Harry's arms were the only thing keeping him grounded at the moment.

"What do you mean?" Harry lulled out.

Eggsy frowned and finally looked up into Harry's face, "I'm kicked from initiation aren't I?"

"No...why would you be dropped? You did an exceptional job on the first test, Eggsy."

Eggsy blinked then found it in himself to move from Harry's arms because it would get a little weird if he continued to let the forty year old man hold the twenty year old any longer. After standing he gathered as much dignity he could and looked around the room to find it empty.

"Where is everyone?" He immediately asked Harry.

After Harry had stood and straightened his impeccable, but wet, suit he said, "I figured you would want a little privacy and sent them to the commons."

Eggsy gave a stiff nod and turned to Harry again, "Look, I'm sorr-"

"Why are you apologizing?" Harry said giving Eggsy a raised eyebrow making him feel like he asked a stupid question.

"I-Well I..." Eggsy, for the first time, was at a loss for words so he simply shrugged and looked at the ground.

"I asked a question and expect an answer seeing as you're a gentleman."

Eggsy took a deep breath and began to respond but was cut off by Harry.

"I also expect a gentleman to look me in the eye when he responds."

Eggsy closed his eyes and took a deep breath before look into Harry's eyes, "I believe you would rather I not whimper and act like a petulant child that constantly needs his...parents." Eggsy said snappishly with flushed cheeks.

"Hmm, no, no I don't want you doing that," Harry said with a stern look which softened as he spoke his next words, "but I don't believe you were acting like a petulant child Eggsy, it was simple defense that made you act and considering you lost an important part of your life just know I don't see anyone acting any better than you."

Eggsy frowned.

"What I'm trying to say Eggsy is that your reaction is understandable," Harry cleared his throat, "no body is perfect and to parallel your reaction to a petulant child would make your logic faulty Eggsy."

Eggsy felt his throat go dry and he felt as if he couldn't breathe again but this time it wasn't because of panic but because of a feeling of...pride. Eggsy felt a smile tug at his lips and watched as Harry too began to smile a little. Everything was ok, he was safe, he was ok, he was fine.

"Do you always have some immaculate suit on? To be truthful it's a little scary never seeing a human disheveled." Eggsy said teasingly.

"Never. It's always good to have an immaculate suit on hand Eggsy which I believe you'll find my views quite correct in due time, now off you go," Harry gave Eggsy a pat on the back and pushed him towards the door, "Merlin has new clothes waiting for you and do make sure to visit the infirmary, it would be nice to not have someone trailing blood through the hallways."

Eggsy saw the concerned look Harry shot to his feet which he didn't realize were splintered with glass. Feeling the stinging he winced and gave a nod before shooting off.

Two weeks passed and Eggsy got into the schedule of not grabbing his medal of valor that wasn't there anymore. He wasn't used to it but he had more sense than to reach for something not there at least. Roxy also helped him settle in with his feeling of loss, at night she would make sure he was asleep before her and made sure he got a considerable amount of sleep that is until they got their pups which helped keep his mind elsewhere.

Two weeks and a day later Eggsy found himself walking back to the dormitories to grab a blanket to take to the commons so everyone could have a gathering of sorts. It was a weekly thing they did to keep up their team dynamics. Eggsy picked his way through his locker before hearing a clattering and feeling cold metal land on his bare foot.

When Eggsy bent down to pick up whatever fell he didn't expect the purple medal to pull a gasp from his mouth but that's exactly what happened before he enclosed his hand over it in a tight fist and closed his eyes so tight he could see stars behind his eyelids.

Thank you, Harry.

"Eggsy, you coming?" Roxy called from the doorway.

"Be right there!"

Eggsy opened his hand and stared at the polished medal before clasping the chain around his neck and sighing contently.

And if you asked Harry if he had stoically stood behind the fixed two way mirror and watched his protege cascade his mirthful feelings before getting control of himself and leaving the room, then he would deny it.

Fin!
