Q

[lepidopterologist]

The day after the awards show party Harry had to work late, which vexed him to no end as he'd promised Q that he was going to be home to make dinner. He texted him an apology and instructions to have a snack if he was hungry, and when he finally arrived home around 8pm, came with boxes of fresh sushi that he'd had delivered to the office, along with a bouquet of flowers.

"I'm home," he called when he came in, and a touch sheepishly held out the flowers when Q came in.

Comments

Q hummed happily in agreement, slipping his arms around Harry.

"I love you," he said quietly.

[lepidopterologist]

“I love you, too.” Harry stroked his hair, then kissed the top of his head.

[qu4r73rm4573r]

Q closed his eyes at the kiss, wriggling his way closer.

"It'll be nice getting away together, no matter where we wind up."

[lepidopterologist]

“I think a little villa on a beach in Greece sounds divine,” said Harry. “Something secluded.”

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"With only each other to keep us entertained?" Q suggested.

[lepidopterologist]

“Do you think we’d be able to?” Harry teased.

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"I think we'd manage, though I'll never object to a third."

Q pressed a kiss to Harry's neck, then his jaw.

[lepidopterologist]

“You… want Bond to join us?” Harry asked, a note of surprise in his voice.

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"I don't know. I mean it seems we all get on. ...It was just a thought, probably stupid," Q said, worried that he'd upset Harry. That hadn't been his intention.

[lepidopterologist]

Harry wasn’t upset, just surprised. “No, it’s not stupid,” he assured him quickly. “I suppose I just didn’t realize just how much you’ve enjoyed that.”

[qu4r73rm4573r]

Q shrugged a little, looking embarrassed and resting his head on Harry's chest.

"I like watching you both together as well," he admitted.

[lepidopterologist]

Harry smiled a little at that, and went back to stroking Q's hair. "I am glad that you too trust that I'm yours," he said. "And I take it last night must have gone well."

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"Would have been better if you'd been there too, but- Yes, it was fun. He said he might send you videos," Q noted, nuzzling at Harry's shoulder a little, then seeming to settle in properly.

[lepidopterologist]

That first bit kept Harry smiling. "I very much enjoyed the photos he sent last night," he murmured. "You are... hot, with him."

[qu4r73rm4573r]

Q kissed his shoulder again, then nipped gently at it, teeth scraping lightly over his skin.

[lepidopterologist]

"And what's your read on him?" Harry asked. "Do you think he's as... into this?"

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"I don't know, he's hard to read. He seems keen to keep me at arms length," Q admitted. "I think he likes you though."

[lepidopterologist]

"I can see why he might be a bit cautious around you," Harry said neutrally. "I am glad you had some time alone with him, though. I thought perhaps it would help you both be more... comfortable."

As for how Bond felt about him, well, he honestly didn't know. "Do you think he would want<./I> to come to Greece with us?"

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"I think if you invited him, yes," Q said honestly.

[lepidopterologist]

Harry considered this for a moment. He felt like he needed to know more. About Bond. He could see how it could be very good, but he didn't want to risk ruining his first vacation with the man he loved.

"What if we ask him over for tomorrow?" he said. "Spend some more time with the three of us."

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"That might be nice," Q said, drawing invisible pictures on the other man's chest with his fingertips.

[lepidopterologist]

"And if you were still going to be my pet tomorrow?" Harry asked quietly. "Would you want him to see that?"

[qu4r73rm4573r]

Q went a bit pink, but nodded a yes.

[lepidopterologist]

"And would you want to be a good boy for him too, Q?" Harry asked quietly, and dragged a finger down his naked side. "Or do you think that Bond would want to be a good boy for me, too?"

[qu4r73rm4573r]

"I think you'd have to ask him that," Q said, arching a little closer at the touch.
