Latching onto Noah's shoulder, James can't help himself and he keeps his teeth firmly against the younger man's shoulder, sucking softly and grinding his teeth against his shoulder for a moment, deliberately doing what he can to leave a mark. When he hears Noah hiss slightly in pain thought he pulls back, surprised to notice that he broke skin a little. "Ah.. sorry.." He murmurs softly, licking his lips slowly as he watches the little lines of blood well up.

Feeling a little dazed for a moment, Noah takes a shuddering breath, looking forward at the mirror he was standing in front of, jaw dropping a little as he sees the blood. "Bloody hell, what did you do, James?" he asks, leaning forward slightly, watching the pale skin as it starts to turn colors around the mark, squirming out of the older boy's arms before he goes to pull out a first aid kit from a drawer.

"Do I want to know why you have a first aid kit?" James asks, then he sighs. "Let me." He says as he sits on the bed and pulls Noah down to sit between his legs before he places the kit in the brunette's lap and takes out a sterile wipe to clean out the cuts gently and then places a small bandage over them.

Noah glances over his shoulder at Bond, but the slightly sensual atmosphere that had started to build before is pretty broken. "I wonder if it will scar.." he says quietly as he reaches up and touches the bandage, a shiver going down his spine at how sensitive the spot is now, slightly painful.

"Are you particularly prone to scarring?" James asks, kissing the back of Noah's neck softy for a moment, adjusting brunette's t-shirt over the bandage before he slides his arms around the boy again, holding him close.

Considering the question for a few moments, Noah looks down at his hands and he shakes his head. "Not particularly, no." He says as he considers how many times he's burnt his hands or something while doing some sort of electronics. He has a few scars, but overall nothing too bad. "I would be ok if this left scars, though." He admits in a soft tone.

The last comment is something that James barely hears since he's distracted by the adorable boy in his arms. When the words register, he hums a little in pleasure, placing a few open mouthed kisses on the back of Noah's neck softly. "I would love it if it left a scar, to leave my mark on you permanently.." He murmurs softly next to the brunette's ear before nipping at him lightly. "Every time you looked in the mirror, you would think of me. Yes. I like that very much." he says with a small grin.

A small sigh is given before Noah squirms out of James' grasp again, going to start tea for them both. "I should have known that you would be possessive." He says quietly, still feeling a little dazed about the last fifteen minutes, his hand coming up to cover the bandage slowly. He fights back the small smile that tries to creep over his lips as he thinks about seeing the evidence that at one time, the sexy, amazing older boy wanted him, the boffin nobody. He still fully expects James to come to his senses eventually and leave, but maybe for a little while, just a little while, he can have something. Someone might want him for him, for once.

"You don't seem to mind." James says softly, taking this opportunity to take his shoes off, putting them aside before he steps up behind Noah, putting his hands lightly on the younger boy's hips, giving them a little squeeze, and kissing the back of his head through the wavy mop of hair. "Come back, Noah.." He says softly, being able to tell that the brunette is getting lost inside his own mind. "You need to stop thinking for a while.. and I get the feeling you won't be welcome to my usual ways of blanking minds." he says playfully with a small grin, placing a chaste kiss on the boy's boney shoulder.

Blinking a few times as he leans back into James and listens to him, Noah nods a little. "Your assumption would be correct." he says in a firm tone, glancing over his shoulder at James for a moment, not being able to help a small smile that twitches up the corner of his lips before he turns back to the kettle when it starts whistling and he continues to prepare the tea, remembering how Bond liked his before so he prepares it the same way again, turning around in place, leaning back against the desk as he offers one of the mugs to bond and then tentatively sips his own.

Taking the mug from Noah but otherwise not moving from his spot, James just smiles a little and he nods. "Well, then.. I'll have to figure out something else. How about we watch a bit more tellie, lay down this time in case you fall asleep again." he offers as he continues to watch the young man, sipping his tea slowly for a few moments, admiring him, enjoying being here, even if he did have to bully his way past the boy's stubborn streak.

Hmming softly and examining James as close as he's being examined, Noah finally nods a little as he sips his tea, eyes finally dropping from Bond's as he adjusts his glasses with one hand. "I think you should change, don't you?" He asks, slowly turning away from him to look out the window, making sure no one is below before he empties the small amount of water out of the kettle and out the window, then he sets it back on its base and makes sure its unplugged so it won't accidentally be turned on. He doesn't want to make that mistake again.

"Not going to enjoy the show?" Bond teases as he puts his empty mug down beside Q, kissing his cheek before he goes to his bag and pulls out sleep clothes, a snug t-shirt and a pair of pajama pants, turning so that Noah can get a good look if he wants to, but he's not facing the younger man either, unbuttoning his shirt and shrugging out of it before he pulls his previous undershirt off and starts undoing his belt.

It's only fair after everything that has happened this afternoon, that Noah gets something equally as good out of it, so he slowly turns when he hears the rustling of fabric, leaning back against the desk again as he watches James undress. He could feel that the older boy was muscular, but now, seeing the extent of it, the sculpted muscles that ripple under his skin so enticingly, Noah finds his mouth going dry and dropping open slightly. Nervously adjusting his glasses, he licks his lips slowly, not caring that he's staring as he takes in every centimeter of slightly tanned, firm flesh. "Blimey.." He breathes in surprise as he continues to stare with wide eyes.

After getting his pajama pants on, James glances over to see the look of undisguised admiration on Noah's face. Slowly, he turns to face him fully, one eyebrow lifting questioningly. "See something you like, Noah?" He asks in a soft voice, taking a step closer to the younger man, within arm's reach now, not having put on his new shirt yet, letting it hang loosely from one of his hands instead.

In order to stop his advance because it might be too overwhelming to have him that close, Noah holds out a hand and it presses flat against the warm skin of the older boy's chest, making him bite his bottom lip, gnawing at it a little as those wide eyes drop to where his hand is resting, before it slowly, tentatively, slides up toward the blonde's shoulder.

James smiles a little as he takes a small step closer so that Noah doesn't have to extend his arm all the way, he reaches out and rests his hands on the brunette's hips again.

"Go on, don't be shy. Consider me yours to do with as you will."


Poor Q is scarred for life now! But not emotionally at least. ;) Well, he may not be scarred actually, we'll just have to wait an see, shall we? It probably should not be so endearing that Bond is so possessive, but I find it kind of adorable.

To my guest reviewer Jinglebells.00Q - I did you one better. He'll still have the hickie I think, but it's a bit more than that. ;) And yes, Bond has always been one to exploit weaknesses of others to get his way. Q better keep his guard up!

It seems that I have changed my mind about my updating rate on this fic. I just can't keep myself away from it. I hope no one is disappointed and it's still all everyone hoped it would be. Unfortunately it won't all be fluff and cuddles, but I want Q to heal up a bit first and for them to get more attached to eachother. ;)

I hope everyone enjoys this, please let me know what you think!
