Q - Valentine's

The reservations had been made weeks in advance and Bond took the liberty of picking out Q's clothes for him. There were roses on the table, champagne chilled and waiting, and a decadent meal created by one of the top chef's in London. The lights were low and the restaurant quiet but for a violin.

Bond sat across from Q, his eyes sparkling as he sat mesmerized by how deeply and truly he loved this man. He still hadn't returned to work but Bon dhad found he was quite enjoying throwing himself into building a relationship. he'd never really done that before. Everything for him had always moved so quickly- he grabbed onto women in case he might die tomorrow- so having the luxury of time was a blessing.

"Oh, here's the food," he said as the waiter arrived and broke his reverie.
