I don't own James Bond, Just having some fun.

Sorry for the long wait!

Chapter Ten

James looked over to M, standing straight as he looked to the man. It had been over a year since his M had died, and it was still odd to see the man sitting there, and reporting to him. His mission to Cuba had not gone well, and while he had been cleared by medical all he wanted to do was the last thing on his list. That was to go down to Q-Branch and report to him, and reassure him that he was all right.

"Well Bond?" M asked as he gained the man's attention, he could tell that it had wandered a little. M was having second thoughts about giving the man the all clear to leave medical. Since they were reluctant to do so.

"That's about all I can tell you sir," he said as he looked over to the man, instead of where his gaze had drifted to the window.

"Then I shall expect your report on my desk in no longer than two days," he said with an air of exasperation, the agent had once again got off orders and did his own things. Though it had been a good thing in the end, it was still a headache for him when trying to reason with everyone about his wayward agent.

"Yes Sir," he said with a nod.

"You're dismissed," M said as he then watched the man leave his office, he gave a shake of his head, and wondered what would be on the report.

James walked out of the office and smiled to Eve, "Hello there," he grinned over to her as he gave her a way.

"James," she said with a roll of her eyes, she could hear the flirtation in his voice. But there was something about him that screamed he no longer meant it, "Do you ever stick to mission plans?" she asked him, a little smirk now on her face.

He smirked back as he nodded, "Occasionally, but if the mission calls for it, I will do what is necessary," he answered.

"Right, just hope you have all your equipment in one piece, rumour is that Q is on the warpath with anyone that has been going to see him. I think he even send the head of resources out of Q-Branch in tears," she warned him.

James stood still for a moment and nodded his head, "all right," he said as he then headed out of the office and down to Q-Branch. He hoped that Eve wasn't correct, though there was a ball in the pit of his stomach that Q was mad that he had been hurt. Though it wasn't that painful at all. He was a little bruised, a few cuts as well, but nothing else was wrong, not even a concussion.

James headed down to Q-Branch quickly. He walked inside and looked around, he could see the nervous minions as they wandered around the central area. He looked over to Q's office, and decided to head there first to look for the man. He gave a smirk to some of the minions that quickly looked up to see who it was that was invading their domain, though they didn't last long as they went back to work. James reached the door and knocked on it.

"Come in," came the annoyed voice from within.

James opened the door, and looked inside, a small smile on his face now as he saw the worried look on the other man's face, "Hey Q," he said as he walked inside and closed the door behind him.

"Bond," he said with a professional nod, though James could see that he wanted to get up and go to him.

"Sorry for taking so long to get down here, had to debrief with M," he said as he walked to the desk and stood in front of it, letting Q look him over.

Q almost sagged in relief as he could see that James was fine, the frown that was on his head finally left and he smiled a little, "Good to see you're back," he told him, reassured that all was fine.

"Yes," he grinned to him, "It's good to be back," he told him as he began to bring out his gun, "here the only thing I brought back, my radio was…" he gave another grin.

"I know what happened to that, and if you ever do something so stupid, you can forget anything exciting for field work," he warned him.

James just grinned to him and watched as Q relaxed into his usual routine. "Right," he said after a while, "I'm going to head home now, I'll see you then, and make sure to be on time, as I'm going to be cooking," he told the man as he began to head for the door.

Q looked up from his work and nodded, "All right, barring any emergencies, I'll be home. If there is, I'll call you to let you know," he told him, a smile once more on his face. James gave a nod and then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

James looked at the table in the dining room and smiled. He had picked something up when he was Paris a month ago for a mission. There was something that he had been thinking of doing for the last three months, and he was finally going to. He checked his phone one more time, it was still a little early for Q to get back, but still, he couldn't help but be a little nervous. It was almost ten minutes later when the front door opened. James grinned and got up from where he was sat on the dark brown sofa and went to greet him.

"Hey," he said with a smile as he greeted him with a kiss.

"Now that is a nice welcome home," he smiled back to him, wrapping his arms around him and resting his head against James' shoulder, "you have no idea how much you scared me when I heard the first explosion," he said with a small shuddered.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could do it without you listening to me," he sighed softly, wrapped his own arms around him and holding him tightly.

"No chance of that happening," Q retorted, "I won't let you go on a mission without me being there to provide whatever aid I can," he told him.

"It wouldn't feel right without you there," he chuckled lightly.

"Good," he nodded as he moved away from him, "now, what smells nice?" he asked him as he began to head to the kitchen.

"Oh no," James said as he grabbed a hand, "Go upstairs and change into something comfortable," he advised him, "and then go and sit down in the dining room," he added as he watched Q begin to head towards the stairs.

Q gave a huff, "Honestly James, you and your need to see me in jeans," he said as he turned and gave a little wink.

James smiled as he watched him go and then headed into the kitchen to start dishing things up ready for when Q got back from upstairs. Q quickly got changed and walked down the stairs and headed into the dining room. He stopped and looked at the table. It had been set up beautifully, and he couldn't help but smile as he walked over to it and the red rose that was placed in his normal seat. He picked it up and smelled it, smiling as he sat down and looked to the candle lit dining table, wine already in their glasses, and a bottle resting in an ice bucket.

"Dinner is served," James said as he walked into the room as Q looked up. James put down the plates one in front of Q and the other at his own place setting.

"Thank you," he said as he looked at the meal, grilled lemon chicken and basil mash. It was one of his favourites and James cooked it brilliantly, better that Q could.

"Welcome," James said as he sat down in front of his own dinner and the two began to eat they talked about everything and nothing. Relaxing and enjoying the fact that the two of them were together once more.

"So," Q said softly as he finished his meal, "Is there anything in particular that you are after?" he asked, a hint of teasing in his voice.

James laughed as he got up to clear up the plates, "Wait there," he said as he headed back into the kitchen. He came back out a few moments later with two bowls and placed them down, "Before we have desert," he said as he looked to the hot apple pie and custard.

"What is it?" Q asked him a little curious and worried.

"Well," he said as he wondered how he could start this off properly. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the small box that had been hidden in his home gym for the last month. Since Q wouldn't dare to step foot in there. He knelt down as he saw the shocked look come over Q's face, "Kyle, will you marry me?" he asked him as he opened the box and showed a small gold band that had bits of diamond inlaid into it.

Q sat there looking at the ring, "I..." he said, his own mind shorting out at the thought of getting married again, he looked up at James' face and then smiled, he nodded his head as a large smile broke out onto his face, "Yes, I would love nothing more," he said as James moved and held him.

"Wonderful!" he exclaimed as he let go of the man and put the ring onto his finger, "I know that wearing it at work isn't going to be a good idea, so I also brought this," he said as he pulled out a long gold chain, "when you're at work, you can put it on this so no one will see it," he told him.

"Good, can you imagine if they found out," he said with a grin as James put the chain around his neck, but left the ring on his finger for now.

"I can," he said with a small grimace, "I love you, I truly do Kyle," he told him, his voice soft as he leaned in and kissed him.

"Love you as well James," he sighed, smiling.

"Good," he grinned to him, "Now, let's have dessert," he said as he went to sit down.

Q nodded his head and the two settled down to eat, both casting heated looks to each other. Q looked down at his ring and frowned a little, the diamonds were just randomly spaced as he had thought. They were put together to make small dots and dashes. He put down his spoon as he ran a finger over them, reading them, he smiled as he looked up, and laughed, "Morse Code James?"

James chuckled, "didn't think it would take you long to figure out," he told him, a smile settling on his face as he watched him.

"J and K," he smiled softly as he looked from his ring and back to James, "It's beautiful, and different," he said with a slight chuckle.

"I didn't think you would be the typical type, so I put an order in for a place I know, just happened to be able to grab it while on mission as well," he said with a grin.

"Typical, most likely caused the mission to go there," he told him.

"Not this time," he told him, though there was a glint in his eye as he got up and pulled Q up as well, "Maybe if we need a honeymoon I can create something that would get us both away?" he suggested.

"Don't you even think abo..." he began but was cut off as James kissed him.

"Bed?" James smirked, Q smiled to him, and pulled him down for another as he nodded. Soon enough the two of them had made their way upstairs to their bedroom.
