AU - On THe Third Day

[provocateur_king]

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.

Q felt guilty, like he'd done something wrong, but after a moment he wandered closer to john and embraced him again.

"I love you, John," he said quietly. "I love you. I'll be safe, alright? You taught me well."

John hugged him fiercely.

"You come home to me, lad," he said, quiet and tight near his ear.

He held him like he may never get to again, but finally did let go.

He looked at Bond.

"If anything happens to him, you'll pay with your soul," he promised.

Bond nodded, taking him quite seriously.

Q rolled his eyes at the threat, but smiled and sat down.

"Come on, lets have some cocoa."

He felt better now, safer, and he glanced at Bond, hoping he wasn't making a mistake.
