"Christ, it's all over."
Even after being saved, the world had been somewhat hellish for the past months. People were still missing, bodies still needed burying, and plenty of leaders were still gone leaving the people wondering what to do.
Nevertheless, things hadn't gotten better. People had stepped up, taken the initiative, and now, months later, people were able to properly bury the dead.
Alastair had succeeded in warning and helping two other Kingsman agents. Two others that had been in Valentine's pocket had passed as well, their heads exploding with everyone else's. The rest were alive but had been injured. One it didn't look good, the others were healing, and some worse off than others. Overall, it could have been much worse for Kingsman though.
Now Alastair stood with the Kingsman agents that were able to move about along with Merlin and the new Lancelot and Galahad. Both Roxy and Eggsy had quickly proven they were ready and willing to help where needed. Finally now, they were paying homage to Harry, his gravestone finally erected and making the event final.
Usually only two Kingsman agents were allowed at a fellow agent's funeral at the time but Harry had honestly had no one else. Not a spouse, a sibling, and both parents had been dead. He had certainly been friendly with people, and perhaps he had friends that none of them knew of, but if they existed they were probably busy with their own problems.
So the group that could be there paid their respects. Alastair glanced towards where he knew Chester King lay and resisted the urge to spit on the old man's grave. There was no point now. The past was done. It couldn't be changed. There was only the future that was left ahead.
Eggsy had gone off eventually, not because he wanted to just stay there but because he had his own family he had to take care off. The other agents broke off as well until it was just Merlin, Alastair, and Roxy.
"We'll need to assign a new Arthur," Alastair said softly.
"Please tell me you're not suggesting me," replied Merlin.
"No one else would suit the position."
"Harry would have been better suited. He was a natural born leader."
"Maybe in another life. You may have to step up though."
"Perish the thought," murmured Merlin.
Roxy and Alastair said their good byes and headed off, leaving Merlin to stare at the grave. They walked towards where they knew James was buried. Grass had finally grown properly over it instead of looking freshly dug like so many.
"I kept Lily safe for you," Alastair said. "Your nephew and sister-in-law. They're okay. I'm just sorry I couldn't help you."
Roxy gave a sad smile and wrapped her arm around her brother's. "You didn't know. Weren't involved in the mission. There was no way you could have known."
"I know. At least the bastard behind it all is dead."
"At least we have that," Roxy agreed. "A new start. For the world, for Kingsman, for us. No use staying at the dead's feet."
"Quite right too. To a new Kingsman. A new age."
"I'd knock glasses together but we don't have any."
Alastair shook his head, a small smirk on his lips. "Let's go. There's still plenty of work to be done."
"Yes there is. Merlin was talking about sending both of us to South America?"
"Yes, the rebel leaders there are still holding on to…"
Alastair continued to explain the mission as Roxy and he walked out of the graveyard and into the possibilities of the world.
AN: The official end to the canon compliant version of You're an Asshole But I Love You. Thank you so much for everything you have done, the support, the comments, simply taking the time to read this. This is the longest story I have ever written and it means so much that so many people have enjoyed this, especially because of how small the ship is.
As of right now, this is the official ending to You're an Asshole But I Love You though it is likely I will be writing one-shots that I never got into the actual story, or simply ideas that later come to mind. Nevertheless, Kingsman 2 is happening and who knows, maybe it will inspire me to continue this :)
Thanks again and for the last time (for now anyways) I hope you enjoyed!
