Harry decided to recruit Eggsy quite suddenly, didn’t he? It’s not like he’d been keeping tabs on the boy, and was able to anticipate their meeting. 

So, who was Harry’s original candidate? Did he have another down-on-their-luck young man or woman in mind? Or was he bluffing with Arthur and he had a high class brat all picked out already?

How did he tell them that he’d changed his mind? And do they ever get to meet Eggsy, long after V-day, when Harry steps to Arthur’s seat and half of the chairs around his table are empty?

I’m all for Eggsy seething quietly as Harry brings in a new candidate, his real one, to go through the test. Maybe Harry’s known this person for years, since they were a kid, and Eggsy hates the easy familiarity they have together. How this…this toddler, a year younger than Eggsy, easy, actually touches Harry all casual like they get to do it all the time. 

Give me all the quiet pining and all the feelings of inadequacy. Give me Harry raising his eyebrows at Eggsy’s almost cold demeanor when the other kid is around, not a hint of his South London accent during his debriefs, refusing to look anywhere but the point just over Harry’s shoulder.  

(Give me the kid being Harry’s distant nephew/niece or something, doing their own pining after Roxy, or hell, even Eggsy.)
