It wasn't anything exciting. Mostly research, honestly.
[ He watched Eggsy while he put the eclairs away, a fond little smile on his face. It was truly a pleasure to have him over after texting back and forth most of the afternoon. He much preferred to talk in person. ]
Feel free to get yourself something to drink while I get dinner ready.
[ The pizza was cooked and in the oven staying warm. It was a more thin crust style with all those strange toppings that Eggsy mentioned he liked. He moved around the kitchen getting plates for them and napkins. ]
( Eggsy chuckles as he pokes around in the fridge, deciding on some sparkling lemonade that he finds in the door. He pulls two glasses down from the cupboard and sets them on the counter. )
You want some?
( After pouring his own, he lets the bottle hover over the second glass without actually tipping any in. )
[ He set the pizza on the kitchen island, cut it into slices and offered Eggsy a plate so he could serve himself. There was plenty of pizza for the two of them but he imagined Eggsy would want the most for himself seeing as it was specially made for him. Sean enjoyed the process, finding it very relaxing. ]
It probably wasn't. I actually enjoy research. Unlike you and paperwork.
[ As he poured himself a glass he smiled fondly at Eggsy. It was always amusing to hear him rant on and on about how terrible the paperwork was for his job. ]
( Eggsy takes the plate with a bright smile and immediately takes two slices of the pizza. It looks amazing - he's always preferred thin crust to thick - and Sean has nailed the presentation. He could pretend he was in a restaurant if he tried hard enough, he's sure of it. )
This looks so fuckin' good, babe.
( All of the toppings he asked for, to. Eggsy takes his lemonade and moves over to the table, waiting for Sean to seat himself too before tucking in to his first slice. As expected, it's excellent, and he offers the other man a broad smile. )
[ He chuckled warmly, pleased that Eggsy so clearly liked it. It was a little hastily pulled together in Sean's opinion because he was a perfectionist. He would've liked more time with the dough and the sauce but at least it met with Eggsy's standards, he could relax a little. ]
When can we spend a few hours together not in bed, I'd be happy to teach you a little bit of cooking. Is there anything else you'd like to learn?
[ The pizza was good, though he could tell a few things that needed improving. Again, he was a perfectionist. ]
I haven't had quite as much practice baking but we can certain try one day. Maybe the same day I teach you homemade pizza.
[ His gaze softens at Eggsy's sheepishness. It's rare to see such emotions from him, usually the younger man is nothing but confidence. ]
As much as I enjoy casual sex now and again, I'd much rather have a relationship if possible and both parties are agreeable. What would you like?
[ Though he was a dominant lover, Sean always treated his lovers with respect and care. He respected their boundaries and if Eggsy wanted casual then he would keep it on that level. ]
( Eggsy looks surprised at the word relationship, but the expression is immediately chased away with a smile that lights up his features with warmth. )
Yeah? I'd be up for that, if you want that with me. It ain't like I've been lookin' for anyone else while we've been seein' each other.
( And Sean makes him feel ... Comfortable. Sexy. Wanted. He's always treated him with the utmost respect and never pulled the 'dom' card inappropriately, or problematically. )
[ He chuckled as he leaned across the table and kissed Eggsy warmly. It was a bit of a relief that Eggsy was willing to date him. He was older, some younger men didn't want to go out in public with an older man. He was good for sex but not anything else.
That wasn't the case here and he appreciated that. ]
Maybe I shouldn't teach you, then you'll have to stay with me if you want this pizza again.
( Honestly, if Eggsy knew what Sean was thinking? He'd have to laugh right in his face, because his concern had been that a man like Sean wouldn't want some young thing on his arm when he could have someone older, wiser, and generally better. Work can be unpredictable for Eggsy, after all, and he's often called away for days - even weeks - at a time.
But Sean still wants him. Right now that's all that matters. )
You scheming fuck.
( Eggsy laughs, reaching across the table to give the other man's hand a squeeze. )
But you don't need to worry, babe. There's loads of other things keepin' me here too.
Sure, though, we might like different activities outside the bedroom.
[ Sean realized he didn't know that much about Eggsy outside of the basics that he had learned in between fucking and flirting. That was a shame. He should have done better, made an actual effort to learn who Eggsy was, what he liked, and so on. Normally, he was more considerate. ]
Tell me what you would like to do. I'm curious.
[ They had talked about going to a club which did not appeal to Sean in the slightest. Hopefully, there was something they both liked to do that would make a good date. ]

Can you make pies? Like, apple pies an' cherry pies. I bet my boss would have a fuckin' heart attack if I turned up with somethin' home-made for him.
( Honestly, the idea of how bewildered Merlin would look is too good to pass up. Eggsy looks at Sean hopefully. )
An' we can spend as much time not in bed as you want, I just -
( Eggsy chuckles a little sheepishly. )
I wasn't sure how up for that you'd be. Whether you just wanted the sex an' stuff.

Um - I dunno. I like watchin' the football with mates, takin' JB for nice walks, playin' videogames ...
( A light pink flush colours his cheeks. )
I sound really fuckin' borin', I know.

Let's not do it like this, yeah? Let's just figure it out as we go along.

Who's your favorite football team? I'll see if I can get tickets for us. You can explain what's going on to me.
[ Clearly, being an academic means he doesn't know much about sports. He'll need his help. ]
