AU - On THe Third Day

On the morning of the third day, Bond had ordered his men to prepare the cannons. Q had promised and Bond expected delivery.

When the wizard didn't come for breakfast, Bond was irritated. He paced and fumed, but he waited.

Until he could wait no longer. They were going to miss the tide.

"Q!: he shouted, pounding soundly on the wizard's chamber door before throwing it open.

"You promised three days!" he shouted to the man still abed.

"All of it," Q insisted, one hand braced against Bond's chest. "Laying with men is my darkest sin."

"John never said anything," Q replied, looking upset. "I've never told him."

"The Church," Q replied simply, pulling away when Bond's grip loosened.

Q looked unsure though, shrugging one shoulder, aware he'd killed the mood.

"Even if I did lay with you... Surely by now your interest in me has faded," he said softly.

Q wanted to beg the man to make it easy, to choose for him- But he knew he couldn't. Whatever sort of man Bond was, it wasn't that.

"Actually, I'll just get some air, I think," Q said quietly, the attitude gone for now.

"I'll see you in the morning," he promised, turning and leaving before James' could stop him again.

When bedtime came Q went to his hammock, reaching for his book only to realize where he'd left it.

He knew he should just forget about it and go to bed, but the threat of insomnia loomed. It was the only book he'd thought to grab though.

Slightly sheepish, but doing his best to hide it, he returned to Bond's rooms. He tapped on the door before peeking around it

"I left my book," he admitted quietly.

Q went bright pink, marching over and snatching the book away.

"It's full of information on pirate culture," he insisted.

"He's dashing," Q argued. "...Not that it's important to the story," he added quickly.

Q swallowed hard, that night on the boat as a child coming back to him.

"Don't," he said softly. "Don't sully that night. It was special. It meant a lot to me as a boy." he pleaded quietly.

"I don't know," Q said honestly. "You, I think, but I know that's a terrible idea."

"I don't know," Q admitted, voice cracking slightly. Because truthfully, he didn't care that it was 'wrong', it hadn't stopped him from laying with others.

"I don't know what's stopping me," he admitted quietly.

Q didn't want to admit it, but Bond was spot on, and he looked away rather than answer.

Yes, it would be easier if Bond just pushed, if he made it so Q could tell himself it wasn't romantic, it wasn't even his choice. Q wasn't sure how he felt about resting all the weight on Bond though. As easy as it was to bicker with the man, or grow annoyed with him, he didn't want to burden him.

"I don't usually read romance," he said finally. "It's not my genre."
