PROMPT: 6 “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” (@braezenkitty)
 
PAIRING: Q/Eliot

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.

PROMPT: 42 “I swear it was an accident.”

PAIRING: Q/Eliot The Magicians

TAGS: Q/Eliot, Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater, The Magicians, 4.12 coda of sorts

Q went through the door, and looked warily around the physical kids house. He wasn't sure what he'd expected Eliot's mind palace to be, but this seemed too easy. He had so little time to find Eliot and lead him out. If he was wasting time in the wrong place--

“Quentin.”

Eliot stood in the doorway across the room, Q's name fresh out of his mouth. It really was him. No one else ever said Q's name like that, all soft and warm.

There was so much to say and not enough time. Q meant to cross the room, grab Eliot, and tell him everything on the way, but when he reached Eliot he kissed him instead.

His head screamed that there was no time, but his heart rejoiced in the moment.

“I swear it was an accident,” Q mumbled when he pulled back. He hadn't thought about Eliot turning him down in awhile, but the words repeated in his head. Eliot’s rejection writ new.

“An accident,” Eliot murmured. He closed his eyes. “Are you even real then?”

“Yes, I'm fucking real,” Q said. “We have to get you out of here.” He grabbed Eliot's arm to pull him along, but Eliot stood firm.

“Not before I tell you this.” Eliot swallowed and Q pulled again insistently. Eliot wouldn't budge.

“I choose you if you'll let me have the chance,” Eliot said. “I had to get locked in here to figure it out, but I love you.”

Everything in Q seized up, overwhelmed. They had to go, Eliot wanted him, Eliot… loved him?

Eliot kissed him and the moment froze--nothing chasing them, nothing between them. Just the two of them in this quiet hidden world in Eliot's mind.

Q dropped his head to Eliot's shoulder and held him tight. “We have to go.”

Eliot sighed. “I know. But remember that this is true out there too.”

Q pressed his face into Eliot's neck, so glad to finally touch him like this. “Okay. Let's go.”
