Lyrics:
"I can't do anything without you
You give me strength to do anything
I can't be everything I try to
You saved me from the everything
I couldn't be.
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
cause after all is said and done
I still need you here with me."

As Bond rounded the corner to his flat, he caught sight of a man sitting in front of his door, head cradled in his hands. He reached around for his gun as the man shifted his position, leaning his head back against the door. It was Villiers. Bond moved quietly down the hall, stopping in front of him.
"You shouldn't sneak up on people," Villiers said, his eyes still closed.
"And you shouldn't loiter in front of my door," Bond replied, trying to keep his voice neutral.
Villiers opened his eyes and looked up at Bond. They were red and swollen. Villiers stood slowly, supporting his back against the door.
"I wasn't loitering. I was waiting," he said.
Bond could smell the alcohol on his breath, "Are you drunk?" Bond asked.
"No. Well...maybe a bit," Villiers wavered a little, but kept his ground.
Bond sighed then wrapped an arm around Villiers waist and turned him toward the door, sticking the key in the lock. Villiers melted into Bond's body, wrapping his arms around Bond's neck and nuzzling him. They made it into the flat, Bond half-carrying Villiers to the couch. When he tried to set the drunken man on the couch, Villiers wouldn't let go. Instead his arms wrapped tighter around Bond's neck, pulling him closer.
"I'm so sorry. I made a mistake," Villiers whispered into Bond's neck.
Bond breathed deeply before asking "Why?" through gritted teeth.
"I was scared....scared that you would leave me. So I left you first," Villiers voice quivered as he spoke, "I care about you so much, James. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I didn't want you to hurt me," Villiers pulled back and looked into Bond's eyes, "I love you.,"
Bond stared at him for a moment, seeing the tears welling up in the other man's eyes. "Will you regret this in the morning?"
Villiers laughed, "Only the getting drunk part and maybe the crying part too."
Bond smiled, then kissed Villiers gently before dragging him down the hallway to the bedroom.
