Gift
hi, merry holidays, everyone
warning: blood, implied gore
James yawned as he moved back into position. His arm was getting stiff while the rifle felt heavier and heavier each time he moved. He huffed and moved back to look into the scope.
“You're a day late,” Q whispered in his ear.
James pushed on the earwig and grunted. “You're the one that sent me out here in the first place.”
“But you were supposed to be done earlier,” Q pouted. “I have something for you; the perfect gift for my werewolf.”
“I should be done within the day,” James told him. “Will my surprise still be there when I come home?”
“It'll be here when you come back,” Q said and James could hear the smile in Q's voice. “I can't wait for you to see it; you'll love it.”
That night, James walked into the dark house and tossed his jacket onto one of the bar stools and his wallet on the counter. Immediately he felt a cat's tail wrap around his leg as he mewled in welcome. James smiled and bent down to hold out his hand. The cat purred and nuzzled the calloused hand.
“Where's daddy?” he murmured.
The cat purred and finally left. James undid his tie as he made his way further into the house until he noticed light coming from the basement. James grinned and fingered the keys in his pocket and looked for the basement key. When it was found, he unlocked the door and slowly descended down the stairs. He shivered, the basement colder than it was before he went out on mission. His shoes echoed on the hard floor and Q emerged from one of the unfinished rooms.
“My werewolf,” he smiled and wrapped his arms around him. James grinned and held onto Q tightly. James pulled back and noticed specs of blood on Q's glasses and larger spots of dried blood on Q's shirt. James raised an eyebrow and touched one of the dried spots. “It's your present.”
“Have you had your way with it first?” James asked in disappointment. “And you didn't wait for me?”
“You were gone longer than you were supposed to be,” Q scolded and took James's hand. “So I just started...a little bit.”
James narrowed his eyes but followed Q into the small room. His feet slipped on the plastic that covered the ground while moans were heard inside. Q turned on the light and the person tied to the chair jumped in surprise. A crude bow was carved on the man's chest, his blood pooling underneath him. James smiled.
“Is he for me?” James asked and pulled Q closer. “Mr. Felix Leiter?”
“Lieutenant Leiter,” Q corrected him. “I'm sure Trevelyan is looking for him as we speak.” Q held out a knife between James and himself. “But, let's not worry about that for now. Merry Christmas, my werewolf.”
“Thank you my love,” James said and licked his lips. He took the knife and moved towards Felix ,who tried to escape, screaming through his gag.
