Bond

[cuppa_q]

Contrary to appearance, Q did, occasionally, work out. Today was one of those rare days, and the boffin was dressed in soft and loose looking trousers and little else as he lay on the floor doing crunches. He was all skin and bone, no threat to anyone, but it made him feel slightly less vulnerable. Less weak.

He paused when the door to the cabin opened, looking a bit embarrassed but soon carrying on.

"Sorry, I'll be done in a moment," he assured the double-o. "I don't mean to be in the way."

"No, no. Take your time," Bond said from the doorway, giving Q a positively lascivious looking over.

[cuppa_q]

Q seemed a tad embarrassed, something he wasn't usually when it came to James' suggestive looks. However, he did finish up before moving to get off the floor.

"I wasn't sure what everyone was up to today," he admitted. "I thought I might be alone for the afternoon."

"I decided to take the row boat out to the ship, but it seems to have disappeared. I didn't feel like swimming the distance, so I came back home," he explained.

[cuppa_q]

"It disappeared? You mean it sank into the ocean floor or something, surely," Q frowned, splashing himself with water and then pulling his shirt back on.

"No, there were drag marks in the dry sand. I think someone took it," he said. "And the ship is different. It's a sleek yacht. I'm dying to go explore."

[cuppa_q]

"I'm sure someone simply borrowed it. It'll likely turn up again soon enough," Q replied. "In the meantime, I suppose we could make a raft or something."

[0_0_7]

"Yes. But more effort than I wanted to put in today. It's too hot," he replied.

[cuppa_q]

"It is quite disgusting out today," Q sighed. "I suppose we could go to the dome if you like and cool down. It's quite chilly in the bunker."

"That actually sounds delightful. Take in a film, cool down," he nodded. "Would you like to join me and cool off?"

[cuppa_q]

"Yes, alright. The showers are a bit better there anyway," he admitted. "I'll wash up and we can see what's on."

[0_0_7]

"Might do with a bit of a wash myself," he replied. "I'm covered in sand."

[cuppa_q]

"Oh?" Q smiled. "Well, then we can wash up together. Though do keep in mind it's a public restroom, double-o seven..."

[0_0_7]

"I don't really care," Bond said. "You need your back scrubbed, after all..."

[cuppa_q]

"Absolutely not," Q laughed. "It always starts innocent enough, but I know you. I know where your hands soon wander, and your mind."

[0_0_7]

"You can't honestly tell me you mind," he purred.

[cuppa_q]

"We're not shagging in a public bathroom, " Q tutted, though he looked mildly amused. "Just behave yourself, alright?"

[0_0_7]

"Behave myself?" he replied, then gave a melodramatic huff. "Alright, fine. If you insist."

[cuppa_q]

"I do," Q replied leaning in and pressing a kiss to Bond's cheek.

One of the things Bond was so taken with about Q was that he could be so sweet. Despite what he knew to be true about the man's wants and desires, sometimes this all seemed so innocent.

"Let's go, then. The sand is beginning to get to me."

[cuppa_q]

Q nodded, then hesitated before reaching to hold Bond's hand as he started off towards the dome.

It was a pleasant walk, and not far. When they had arrived the path had been a bit overgrown, but now it was well used and clear. The second they stepped through the dome's doors there was the relief of climate control. It was actually just a bit chilly. The downside was that it made Bond aware of just how sandy and sticky he was.

"Let's stop in the wardrobe and get something clean to wear."

[cuppa_q]

"A good idea," Q nodded, following along.

The wardrobe was in its usual state of chaos, and the young boffin started to comb through the racks.

What he'd give to find a Tom Ford. Instead, Bond settled for a lightweight shirt with a subtle tropical pattern of palms and coconuts as well as a pair of khaki cargo shorts. The pants he found were a bright, vivid blue.

"This will do," he decided.

[cuppa_q]

Q found a pair of lightweight joggers and a plain blue tee. Not his usual look, but it would do. At least it felt cool.

Once they were in the bathroom Q wasted no time getting undressed and getting under the spray of the shower.

For all that Bond said he'd behave, once faced with the temptation of Q's naked body, he was striped and in the shower with him. He pressed his firm, slick body against Q's and let his hands roam. The only sound was the water splashing the tiles.
