Relationships
James Bond doesn't do proper relationships, he never has. So why on Earth would he start now? Why would he even attempt one? With me of all people?
I'm Quentin Holmes, James Bond's Quartermaster so most people just call me Q, it's a name and a job title in one. James had been acting strange around me for quite some time, since the Skyfall incident at least and that was 4 months ago. He also stopped shagging random women on missions which is most unusual because he does that for comfort, to assure himself that it's okay. I only know this because he never turns his earpiece off.
You are probably wondering why I'm thinking on this so much but it's because I and the rest of Q-Branch have realised that I'm his new object of affections and honest to god, that scares me.
I will admit that I was thrilled when the old M assigned me to work with 007 because he is one of the best agents although he loves to destroy or lose the gadgets I give him which pisses me off.
Back to the topic at hand, He asked me on a date! James Bond! Me! Date! An actual proper real date so naturally, I agreed to go. Tonight at 6, if I said I was nervous it would be a huge understatement! I will have to deal with my brother, Mycroft tomorrow. (I know he will be spying on us. I am a Holmes after all.)
I met James at 6 as planned and we went inside the restaurant. About halfway through the meal, James took my hand and it stayed that way until we left. We then got a cab back to my flat and we went in. I took my jacket off and offered James a cuppa.
"What is it with British people and tea?" He asked.
"Go and find someone that knows the answer cos it's not me. In fact I will as my brother when I see him next, he's a right posh bastard and should know." I replied. Not long after I had said that I felt his arms around my waist and I welcomed it. I have been so alone for the past god knows how many years.
Everyone probably thinks that it's wrong for us to be together because i'm 18, young and I have the whole of my life ahead of me. He's James Bond, 43, damaged, broken, whatever you wish to say. I'm a strange person but then again, I'm not as bad as Sherlock.
I have never had a serious relationship before but if James is willing to settle down for me then I will try and give the whole relationship thing a go.
