provocateur_king | Q - Fountain of Youth

True to his word, Bond found Tanner who was much the same despite being a bright eyed young lad. Bond gave the order and then watched as the crew managed to finally drop anchor.

He hoped Q was right and this would wear off. The entire crew couldn't hoist it again.

He took off his hat as he entered the chamber to find Q, smiling when he saw what the young man had done.

"We're steady," he said.

Bond reached to lift Q's chin to get him to look at him. Once he met his eyes, he smiled.

"I love you, beyond what any reasonable man should. If you believe nothing else, Q, believe that."

Q nodded, holding James a little tighter before letting go. Though his hands never fully left James.

"It's strange though, being in this body again. Being near Hex... Even being near Harry woke all these feelings I'd forgotten. I had a crush when I was young. An embarrassing one at that."

"Again, Q, I'm aware," Bond said.

He guided Q gently to the bed to sit and hold him close.

"I was aware then, and it was obvious this morning."

From:

"Nothing ever happened though. Some fumbling and kissing... But it never went past that," Q promised. "But... There was one person."

From:

provocateur_king

"One of the crew?" Bond asked, genuinely a bit shocked.

He'd watched so closely.

From:

"No. Um... You know our new guests?" Q asked awkwardly. "Well, um, I actually met Jack some time ago. My seventeenth birthday... We'd made port, and I'd saved up for that room of my own..."

From:

Rarely was Bond surprised. Never was Bond speechless.

And yet Q's words whirled around in his head leaving him utterly dumb, unsure if he should simply kill the man or ask something more.

He was certain he didn't want to know more. "

"He was handsome, and sweet... And I was lonely," Q explained when Bond said nothing.

From:

provocateur_king

Confusion flashed on his brow.

"Are you unhappy with him now?" he asked. "Nothing you're saying is endearing me to someone eating my rations..."

There was tension in his jaw as he thought of the smiling dolt and his vampire companion. They could both easily go overboard.

"He has a partner, Bond," Q replied, frowning. "He's not interested in me now. I'm not interested in him. I just... I just don't like keeping it from you. And it was a big event for me."

From:

provocateur_king

It was only Q's raw vulnerability that tamed the jealousy that would happily see both passengers off the ship, regardless of land.

He reached for the young man's cheek and looked in his eyes.

"I wish you'd invited me to your room," he said.

He'd have said no. The Bond who didn't know what Q had ultimately done would have absolutely brushed the boy off. But now...now he wished.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

"You wouldn't have come," Q said quietly. "I tried to tempt you, so many times... I thought one day you'd snap and just have me, but you never did. You never would."

From:

provocateur_king

"I nearly did. So many times," he confessed. "I couldn't. Not until we stood eye to eye."

Bond would always be the captain, but the Quartermaster, with his own power, was much more on equal footing.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

"I understand that now, but at the time... I just wanted you. I wanted to be yours, James."

From:

provocateur_king

"And now you're the one telling me patience," he chuckled warmly, nuzzling into Q's neck.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

"I was patient," Q insisted, gasping as Bond nuzzled him. "I could have slipped into your bed one night, shivering and desperate, touching you until you started to surrender... Until you were holding me just to still my hands as I settled against you, hungry for attention..."

From:

provocateur_king

"Did you only now realize that?" he asked.

He shifted away a little, though there wasn't much hope of concealing how Q's words went straight to his cock.

"I knew how weak I was. That first night proved to me you'd break me if I wasn't careful," Bond whispered.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

"I couldn't chase you. I needed to know you wanted me," Q said quietly. "I tried temptation, that was as far as I dared to push."

From:

provocateur_king

"I think I deserve a reward for the restraint I showed," he said.

And quite seriously, too. There were many, many occasions since Q had come aboard where Bond had showed little restraint at all.

In battle, he clearly thought he was charmed and untouchable.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

"Oh?" Q asked. "And what should you have then? What do you want. I'm hardly at my best, thanks to the enchantment, but I might be able to accommodate. Just don't ask me to get anything of the top shelf," he quipped dryly.

From:

provocateur_king

"You," he said simply, wrestling Q against him and pressing against the younger body from behind. He held him close, a strong arm tight against Q's chest to keep him in place.

This close, there was no hiding his desire.

"You. For days," he said. "And I'll practice my...restraint."

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

Q made a small sound, blushing deep red. An embarrassing reaction, one he couldn't help at the moment.

"I'm not sure I could handle that much attention under this enchantment, but... You can have me, so long as you are willing not to get physical until I'm grown again."

And gods did he desperately want to be grown again now.

From:

provocateur_king

"We'll see," he said softly against the back of Q's neck, his breath hot and voice low.

He didn't do anything. Not much. Just touching. Holding Q close, feeling the shape of him through his clothes. Shifting, then shifting again to enjoy the friction as he ground against him.

It went no farther, Bond was quite patient...when it suited him.

From:

bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin

Q made a few soft sounds, eventually coaxing Bond to lay with him and coiling himself up tight against the captain, body flush against his.

He seemed tired now, arching against him and then going a bit still as he dozed off just a little- Repeating those actions over and over until he was asleep in Bond's arms.

From:

provocateur_king

As Q feel into a heavy sleep, Bond realized this may be harder to resist now. Now that he'd touched him. Now that he knew his sound. His taste. He wanted Q more than he should admit, but now it burned, knowing he couldn't.

Shouldn't.

...wouldn't.
