I don't own James Bond or any of the characters, I'm just messing around.

It Takes a While

Q yawned as he woke up, he looked around and noted with a smile he was in James' bedroom once again. He had woken up here a number of times over the last few months, there was nothing sexual between the two of them, though at times Q wouldn't have minded. He had to admit that James was attractive, and he felt comfortable and safe with James, he had never felt like that with anyone else.

He sat up in the bed and looked around and saw that James wasn't in the room. Q smiled as he smelled breakfast being cooked, he looked to the alarm clock on James' side of the bed it was almost noon. It made Q glad that he had the day off. He got out of the bed and grabbed some of James' smaller clothes to change into as he went for a shower. Fifteen minutes later he walked out, towelling his hair as he walked, half blind into the bedroom, grabbing his glasses and then following the smell of food into the kitchen.

"Morning Q," James said from where he was dishing up a full English.

"Morning," he smiled to him as he sat down.

James put a plate in front of him and placed down a steaming mug of Earl Grey, as he himself had coffee. He sat down as they began to eat. James looked over to the younger man and smiled, as he watched Q eat, he could tell that the other man was enjoying his food, and was still hungry. They ate with only a few words shared between the two of them, each knowing that they would be talking soon about something neither wanted to admit for fear of being rejected.

James stood up, picking up the plates as he then placed them in the sink, Q making them both another drink. James led the way into the living room and the two sat beside each other on the couch. Q looked over to him and looked as thought he was was about to say something, but he didn't.

"We should talk, but I don't even know where to start," James said with a rueful chuckle.

Q chuckled as well as he thought about it, "neither to I to be honest. Over the last six months you have been dragging me back to yours, and sometimes I will drag you to mine. Nothing goes on but eating and sleeping. I just don't know what is going on between the two of us." He murmured softly as he blew on his tea nd took a small sip of the hot liquid.

James smiled to him as he said, "I care about you, for some strange reason, I don't want anything to happen to you, and when I see that you have been neglecting yourself, I can't help but to make sure you have something to eat and sleep. I can't make sure of that unless you are with me."

Q snorted, "i feel the same with you, or haven't you noticed that I do it when you have failed to take time to let yourself heal after an injury. Though recently, I just want to be with you." He trailed off gently.

James looked to him and put his coffee down, "Yeah, I care, about you as a person, not as the Quartermaster, or even what ever your name is, but you."

Q stopped for a moment as he let the words sink in a little, "i care for you as well, and I just don't know what to do," he sighed as he too put his drink down and leaned back against the couch.

James smiled softly as he said, "I do," he then moved closer to him, going slowly in case Q didn't feel the same and lent in and kissed him gentle on the mouth.

Q's eyes went wide for a second before he kissed back, hands coming up as he wrapped around James, pulling him closer. James soon pulled back, and the two of the looked at each other, lost in the others eyes as they tried to think where this new twist in their lives would take them.

"You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that Q," James said softly as he gazed at him, a gentle and warm smile on his face.

Q smiled back as he told him, "maybe as long as I have?"

James laughed, it was warm and Q couldn't help but join in as they cuddle together and settled down on the sofa. The laughter died away and stopped as they were looking to one another again, they shared a gentle kiss once again as they picked u their drinks and sipped at the cooling liquid.

"Where is this going James?" Q asked him, hoping that this would be more than a little fling between the two of them.

"I don't know, but I wouldn't mind finding out," he answered as he tightened his arm around Q and pulled him that little bit closer.

Q smiled contentedly as he said, "I wouldn't mind either, just lets keep this to ourselves for a while, rather not have someone poking their nose in when it's unneeded," he said that mainly for Even Moneypenny, who was the worst gossip in MI6.

James chucked and agreed gentle, "yeah, to ourselves, for a while at least."

Q looked to him a little and said softly, "Do you want to know my actual name now?"

James looked to him,a little shocked that Q would offer that, he knew that most of the Q's they he had in the past wouldn't tell him their names. It was more to do with their safety than anything, and James couldn't help but wonder what his new boyfriends name actually was, "I wouldn't mind learning it, but if you don't think it would be safe for me to know, then don't."

Q laughed, "I think I am more safe here with you than I have ever been in my life."

James smiled at that as he said, "Nice of you to say."

"I mean it," Q said, looking sincere, "my name is Adrian John Dillon. You know it's been so long since someone actually called it me, that at one point I thought I would forget it." He chuckled dryly.

James smiled as he said softly, "Adrian, it suits you."

Q smiled as he leaned against him, glad that James hadn't asked anything else, he would tell him in time just how he ended up working at MI6, but for now, they could spend the time getting to know each other in another way, going from friendship to a romantic relationship, without anyone else to interfere.

Well, I do hope you have enjoyed this little get together fic. Please review and tell me what you all think of it, I would love to know.
