Harry

Things were coming together nicely. Harry's people had moved in and after a rather chaotic week of getting everyone settled, things had evened out. The patrols were bringing back necessary items, but also items of luxury and comfort. They'd secured a truck and furniture, clothing, food, copper, and scrap for burning all poured in.

Bond was in his office, going over a ledger. Q and Tanner kept impeccable records and Bond was on top of keeping everything going. He truly hated the task, but he'd do it because it needed done.

The knock on his office door stole his attention.

"Come," he called.

Behind him, the large windows in the luxury box looked out over the pitch where dozens of solar panels were set to catch the sunlight. THe power was easily enough to keep the stadium lit at night. At night, Wembley was a shining beacon in the dark.

He waved Harry in and rose to welcome him in.

"Any hiccups?"

“Just… allow me to be the angel on your shoulder, James,” said Harry quietly.

Harry snorted. "I imagine so."

His alcohol tolerance must not be what it once was; he already felt it. "So what are you going to do when we run out of scotch?"

Harry snorted. "Of course," he said. "Well, I suppose we won't run out for a while. But I hope 2020 is a good vintage."

"To the future," said Harry quietly, and clinked his glass to Bond's.

“Yes,” said Harry. “And I would include Q in that number if he’s willing.”

“Members of parliament often have other jobs,” Harry pointed out.

Harry stood very still. "And what makes you the authority on what people need?"

"Not over me," Harry said, his breath catching slightly. "We're partners, remember?"

Did he like? Yes, he liked. He suppressed a shiver. But....

"James," he said quietly, and then - "But Q. I can't." It hadn't even occurred to him to be with someone else. And until this moment, to even want to.

That was... a fair point.

"Perhaps," Harry said. "But why should I think you actually want me? And not that you're just manipulating me."

Harry wet his lips. Probably, he thought.

"I'm not renegotiating," he said, his voice a touch lower. "But..." He slid his hand across the bulge in Bond's trousers.

"... fine," said Harry, and pulled his hand away.

“Around you?” Harry looked amused. “Not possible. Where are we going?”
