PROMPT: 6 “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” (@braezenkitty)
PAIRING: Q/Eliot
TAGS: Q/Eliot, Quentin Coldwater, Eliot Waugh, A Life in the Day missing scene
Teddy slept hard after long days running around outside, and Quentin was grateful for it. Working at the puzzle had been infuriating all day. He'd had to walk alone for a few hours after their blow up, and he'd screamed at Eliot over their combined inability to accomplish anything. To his credit, Eliot had tried to talk him down before screaming back.
Q knew he had to apologize, but when he went out to the fire that had become their evening ritual, Eliot was gone. It was only fair that he let Eliot cool off too before they spoke again. He sat alone by the fire for only a few minutes before he banked it and went inside. A good night's sleep could only improve his attitude.
Teddy slept away in the loft, his soft familiar snores making Q smile. He convinced Eliot to sleep up there with him when he was afraid to sleep alone. Q headed to the small bedroom he and Eliot had added to the cottage years ago just before Teddy was born. Eliot lay there in the bed, naked and gorgeous in the blankets.
Q suppressed a grin. “Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?”
“And here I thought after all these years that this was our bed.”
Q undid the tie at his waist first, unwrapped the shirt from his body, and let it hit the floor. The corner of Eliot's mouth ticked up. Q went for his pants next, but Eliot reached for him.
“Let me.” He pulled at the tie. “We had a bad day, and I have the perfect solution.”
“Sex doesn’t solve everything.”
Eliot freed the clothing from his husband’s body. “Hi, I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Eliot.” He pulled Q at the hip, and Q followed his lead. He knelt on the bed and leaned to kiss Eliot.
“I’m sorry,” Q murmured against his skin. He laid down, tucked firmly against Eliot and holding him tight.
“We’re okay.” Eliot kissed him again.
