Summary
But then Eggsy noticed how, when Merlin called him Galahad, Harry would sometimes react. Noticed how sometimes at HQ when Eggsy was suited and booted, just sometimes, Merlin would call him Harry by mistake. And then one night, when Merlin was reading head bent at the kitchen table, Harry walked behind him and placed his hands on Merlin’s shoulders and placed a jokey kiss - a neutral peck, nothing more, to the top of his head and Merlin, engrossed in paperwork had reached a hand up to his shoulder and murmured ‘Eggsy’ before realising.
And Harry had laughed and clipped his head and told him to put the paperwork away dinner was almost ready, and Merlin had laughed and folded away his notes saying he must be overdoing it if he could mistake Harry’s no-good self for the love of his life and Eggsy had laughed and realised that perhaps, just maybe, he was a substitute all along.
