Bond was on edge with Hotchner here and had very nearly told Q not to come. But after his time with Leo, he needed his Monday night with the lad.
He waited in his rooms dressed in slacks and a shirt, his tie hanging loosely around his neck. He'd poured himself a scotch, then poured another as he sat facing the door.
And he waited.

Quinton.
Leaning in he kissed James soundly.

Date: 2021-11-07 12:37 am (UTC)Bond lifted his hand and cradled his face. The hold was solid and sure, but he took care not to hurt him, only to control him. And whn Bond was finished, he pulled away first.
"You'll not take advantage," he said firmly.

Date: 2021-11-07 01:10 am (UTC)"Nor will you," Q challenged, not agreeing, only pointing out how opportunistic they both could be.

Date: 2021-11-07 01:23 am (UTC)Q's backbone made him smile fondly.
"Agreed," he said. "Now go clean up. I want to go to bed."
He paused.
"Together."

Date: 2021-11-07 01:30 am (UTC)Q nodded, slipping off to the bathroom.
He took his time in the shower, his mind all over the place, thinking about James, then about Harry.
Could he really be in love with both men? How could this end any way other than badly?

Date: 2021-11-07 01:40 am (UTC)Q was facing the water when Bond slipped in behind him and slid his arms around his waist.
"You're taking forever," he said, kissing droplets from his shoulder.

Date: 2021-11-07 02:02 am (UTC)"Apologies, I tend to get lost in my own little world beneath the spray of hot water," Q confessed, leaning back against him.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 02:06 am (UTC)He held him a little tighter and dragged his lips up Q's neck.
"Budge up, then. I need to wash," he said, but his hold was secure. If he really cared about washing, he certainly didn't make any move to do it.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 11:55 am (UTC)Q moved as much as James' hold allowed, only to lean back against him again.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 01:15 pm (UTC)Bond skimmed hid hands up and down Q's body, the water warm and steady.
"I might take a little advantage," he purred softly. "Because this is...very nice."
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 01:31 pm (UTC)Q drew away slightly, rinsing off the last of the soap. He couldn't help but worry a little that James' interest was only physical. It wasn't as though they spoke often- Outside of Q mouthing off a bit and James making kinky threats. How long before another student came along- Better at submitting, better looking, less of a smart arse? How long before he was put aside and then forgotten?
"I don't have any pyjamas with me," he said absently, his mind miles away.

Date: 2021-11-07 01:33 pm (UTC)"I'm sure I can find something," he replied while he quickly scrubbed up.
"Though you don't need to wear anything at all."
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 01:41 pm (UTC)Q watched him wash up, thoughtful for a moment before offering a little crumb of intimate detail.
"I don't like being cold," he said. "Especially my feet. I can't stand to have cold feet."
Little details about himself, information he wasn't sure James would hold onto.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 01:50 pm (UTC)Bond smiled indulgent at him.
"Then I'll find you something to wear," he assured him.
Bond killed the tap and stepped out to dry off.
"And I'll keep you warm," he promised.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 02:01 pm (UTC)"For how long?" Q asked, though he wandered off to the bedroom before Bond could answer, drying himself with a quick spell.
He wasn't sure he really wanted an answer.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 02:10 pm (UTC)"Until you lose interest, I imagine," he answered, opening his wardrobe to find a t shirt and sweats for him.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 02:15 pm (UTC)Q perched himself on the edge of the bed, watching James as he dug through the wardrobe. He couldn't help but admire the other man, the way his muscles moved beneath skin, the solid shape of him, the way he held himself...
"Do you really believe I'd be the one to lose interest?" he asked softly. "It seems unlikely to me. ...Though I can imagine your gaze being drawn to another. A new student. ...An old flame."
Harry certainly still held onto Bond in some way. He was certain it went both ways, even though he had no real proof.

Date: 2021-11-07 04:49 pm (UTC)Q sighed, but let it be, crawling under the covers and settling in.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-07 07:08 pm (UTC)Before Bond crawled into bed he picked up a throw and tossed it over the foot of the bed to keep Q's feet warm, then slid in and settled close.
A wave of his hand and the lights blinked out.
"Good night, Q," he said quietly.
