"Oh come on!"

"No."

"You're no fun!" He pouts, slouching slightly in his seat. If the other Q's saw what he was doing-they would be horrified (more the fun to keep doing it then. It was some people-person's-fault, after all; made being a rebel rather fun.)

"Oh no, he says I am no fun; whatever shall I do?"

"Must you take that dry tone with me, Jean-Luc? And technically I am not a man. I'm-"

"Yes, yes; a personification of the total sum of Q's, all knowing, all powerful beings." Jean-Luc says, his wit as dry as ever. But his smile lets Q know he only means it in fun. That smile was a rare one, saved only for Q-a fact that always astonishes (and pleases) him to no end. "But you are, in fact, a man right now. A fact that you have shown me time and again in our bed."

It was beneath a Q's dignity to turn red (especially at a human's statement)...so he wouldn't acknowledge that he does so. The damned Captain always knew how to pull his strings, had done so for years now (even before Q had somehow been lucky enough to get him into bed. He still couldn't figure that one out.)

"So then you'll let this 'man' finally do what he's been asking his most-patient?-husband?"

Jean-Luc lets out a chuckle. He seemed relaxed, something he hadn't been in awhile, and it's that which makes Q smile. Surely Jean-Luc had finally saw it his wa-

"No."

"But, I'm sure Data won't even mind! He'd surely bend into the most lovely pos-"

"I love you dearly, my dear Q. But do shut up."
