"I know, Eggsy. Trust me, I think about that all the time for you," Zoey admitted as she gently leaned her head against his shoulder as she looked at the chain and let Eggsy talk his mind for once. "I want Dean out of your life, but you and I both know that your mum's too into him for some crazy reason," she admitted softly as she looked up at her friend.

"We should probably get some sleep as well," Zoey admitted as she let out a small yawn and smiled up at Eggsy. "We can hang out tomorrow and maybe go look around town or something," she suggested as she shrugged her shoulders before standing up from the table, taking her and Eggsy's cups to the sink.

"Who could actually be into him? I mean, the way he is, and he doesn't even look good," he chuckled as a smile crept back onto his face. "Yeah the sounds great Zoey, he agreed, lingering in the doorway. "I've missed seeing you, y'know?" Nodding, he headed to the spare room, walking in and shutting the door quietly and taking his chain off, leaving it on the bedside table. Although he always wore it, he never wore it to bed.
He fell asleep quickly and awoke early the next morning, before the rest of the family.

(Sr for a bit have to go and pick up our takeaway!!)

((That's fine; I'll just go ahead and skip to the next morning))

Zoey wake up with a start as she looked around her room and panted slightly, sweat rolling down her face. She had a dream that she was being chased down by Dean's dogs for what she did the night before. She clenched her bed sheets as she got up from her bed and walked into her bathroom to splash some water on her face. She walked over to her closet and got dressed in her blue plaid shirt with her boot-cut jeans and boots. She pulled her hair into a ponytail as she walked downstairs to the shop and started to fix up some of the tables. She started to hum Set It All Free since she had to practice for her next performance at the Fusion.

Eggsy was already awake and dressed but waited to hear Zoey to awake before he decided to head downstairs, seeing as it wasn't his home.
He went down and handed her the pile of jumpers she was placing on the table as she turned to pick them out the box.

"Good morning, Zoey," he looked more confident now as he stood before her, his posture stronger and that famous smile back on his face

[momoko_kumori]

Zoey almost jumped out of her skin as she saw Eggsy, her fist clenched as if she was going to punch him. "Eggsy, don't scare me like that," she said as she gently punched his shoulder and placed her hand over her heart. "Nearly gave me a heart attack," she panted dramatically as she narrowed her eyes jokingly at her friend.

The bell rang above the shop door and Zoey looked over towards the door to see her father walk in with another man. She tilted her head slightly at the other man, trying to place him. "Oh, Zoey, Eggsy...you two are awake early," Aaron said as he smiled widely at his daughter and her friend. The other man cleared his throat as if he was telling Zoey's dad to introduce him. Zoey was very curious about what was going on. "Ah, yes. Eggsy, Zoey, this is Harry Hart; I work with him at the tailor shop down the block," Aaron finally said after a small awkward silence.

"Eggsy, good to see you again; I owe your father so much," Harry said as he nodded his head graciously at the young man and then turned to Zoey. "Zoey, you definitely look like your mother, but you have the spirit like your father," he admitted as he nodded his head at her as well.

Eggsy only broke into hysterics as she jumped then punched him, giggling away before Harry and Aaron came in, after that he stopped. Recognising Harry, he narrowed his eyes slightly at him, trying to place that face that felt so familiar. Looking to Aaron, almost for guidance now, he nodded. He knew this mans name too.

At the word 'again' Eggsy knew he wasn't being daft and had for sure had seen him before. "You knew my dad?" His voice came out a lot weaker than he had intended. Pausing now, he set the clothes in his hand on the table as he tried desperately for this to sink in, wondering if it were a dream.

[momoko_kumori]

"He saved my life and Aaron's life; the two of us owe him so much," Harry explained as he looked at Eggsy and then looked towards Aaron. "Is there some place that we can talk in private?" he muttered softly to Aaron, who nodded his head and led the way to the back office area. Zoey looked at Eggsy, wondering if he was going to follow them.

"I'm here with you, Eggsy," she said softly as she gently placed her hand on top of his hand as she looked towards Harry and her father, who seemed to be waiting for them the office. "I think...I think he's that guy from when we were younger," she admitted as she glanced at Eggsy before glancing back at the office.

[InsectNation]

"I thought it was..." Eggsy sighed and shook his head. "It doesn't matter any more, dad is dead and that's the end of it." Patting her hand twice as he pulled himself together, he headed to the office in which Harry and Aaron were waiting, wondering what it was they had to say.

He waited for Zoey then closed the door as he looked Harry up and down, thinking he looked a little too posh to be around here.

[momoko_kumori]

Zoey sighed lightly as she watched after Eggsy before following after him and entered the office. She stood next to the door and crossed her arms as she looked over at her father, wondering what he was trying to accomplish with this guy. "So what's this all about?" she questioned after breaking the silence that had fallen over the room.

"Zoey, trust me...this is very hard to explain, especially to both of you," Aaron stated as he leaned against the wall near his desk, letting Harry use his desk at the current moment. "Eggsy, we want you to understand that your father..."

"The day your father dead, I missed something..." Harry cut in, not letting Aaron finish his sentence. Zoey blinked as she looked over at Harry and saw sincerity as well as sadness in his eyes. "If it weren't for his courage, my mistake would have cost the lives of every man present," he went on as he looked at Eggsy, before sighing lightly. "Including Aaron here; so I owe him...your father was a brave man, a good man," he finished before shaking his head slightly.

"Harry," Aaron said gently placing his hand on his friend's shoulder, but Harry shrugged it off as if telling Aaron that he was fine and needed to do this.

"And having read your files, I think he'd be bitterly disappointed in the choices you've made," Harry finished as he looked Eggsy directly in the eyes. Zoey was appalled that this man would dare bring all of this stuff up just to lecture Eggsy, but one look at her father and Zoey knew to keep her mouth shut.

[InsectNation]

Eggsy listened to this mans lecture as he went on, becoming more disgusted with each word that came out his mouth.

"You can't talk to me like that," Eggsy spoke between gritted teeth, getting hot under the collar at the mans comment. "It was my dad that saved your muck up then, yeah? If it weren't for you then, my dad would be here, with me and my mum. She wouldn't be hit and neither would I." He pointed to his bruised face as he took a defensive step forward, subconsciously standing in front of Zoey as if to protect her. "If we was born with the same silver spoon up our butts, we'd do just as well as you, if not better."
