Headcanon: Q Can Dance!
You wouldn't think it, to look at him, but then, maybe there's a lesson in that. He's all limbs, yes, a skinny frame capped with unruly hair and a pair of glasses that slide up and down his nose with the regularity of a lenticular Sisyphus. But there's grace there, too, the ease of a body that knows itself, and invites you to know it in return.
You wouldn't think it to know him, either, not at first, and there's a lesson in that, too. Because when you know him better, the pieces fit perfectly, a fractal pattern that you can't unsee: music is math, after all, and movement is physics, and Q on the dance floor seems like the embodiment of both. He knows how to feel the beat precisely because he knows how to think, and if, when you see him, you make the mistake of thinking that this, this is Q finally getting out of his own head, you would be forgiven for the error. But this is Q in his head, in his head and in his body, knowing the beat will come even before it arrives, and when, a moment before it hits, he opens his eyes, he is looking at you as if he knew you would be there.
