Harry and Q

"It sounds as if I have no say," Bond noted.

He wasn't surprised. He could protest and he could sulk, but in the end...he could tell he was fucked.

"I don't suppuose you could indulge me some sort of waterfront view, at least?"

Harry stacked up the plates and tray to get them out of the way, then looked down at them on the bed. "I remember what it's like to be laid up," he said. "I mean, after I woke up from the coma and everything. It's shitty. You should at least get to pick where to spend some time."

"And I just want you to be comfortable," Q said.

Though what he was really hoping for was a fast recovery. Seeing James like this was hard. Selfish, but true.

"I am going to remember you said that. The next time you're shirty and tell me to put my back in it, I'll remind you how important my comfort is," Bond chuckled.

With strong potions and good food in his belly, his upset at the whole situation was dulled. Instead, he focused on the warmth of Q against him and the calm reassurance n Harry's voice.

"You should sleep," Harry said. "I'll tidy up."

"I can help, if you like," Q offered, though part of him didn't want to leave Bond's side. "I should really get the bathroom back in order."

Bond's fall had left a bit of a mess after all.

Bond was quiet for a moment, then. His morth faded away.

"I'm sorry," he said softly.

Harry didn't want Q to leave Bond, so he said, "I can take care of it."

And then he looked down at Bond and said sternly, "You have nothing to apologize for."

Q nodded, settling back in a bit and offering Harry a small smile of thanks.

"Yes, Harry's right. You've no reason to be sorry about anything. You just need to focus on taking care of yourself right now."

"I was under the impression I don't even need to do that much," Bond chuckled, letting his eyes slip shut.

Harry moved closer to them, and leaned down and kissed the top of Q's head. "Stay here with him," he said softly. "I'll clean up, and then I need to get back to the office, do some... paperwork."

[bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin]

Q nodded slightly, touching Harry's arm gently.

"Of course," he said. "We'll be here when you're done for the night," he promised.

Q couldn't be more right. Bond had already dozed off. Not entirely asleep- he heard them- but the potions, a full belly, and Q warm and close...Bond couldn't resist.
