Pairing: Eve/Will

Word count: 542

Summary: Eve and Will have a moment whilst playing tag with the Watson siblings. It's a shame that Abe has to interrupt. Eve/Will ONESHOT.


AN: I'm thinking about doing a multi-chapter fic for Eve; I have a few notes and ideas jotted down and a rough first chapter planned out. Would anyone be interested in reading a long story for this fandom (Eve/Will, of course, because it's me)?


DISCLAIMER. I do not own Eve.


Prompt: Imagine Person A of your OTP pinning Person B against a wall, and leaning in for a kiss. Before their lips meet, they get interrupted.


Eve peered out from behind the sofa, her plastic blaster in hand, narrowing her eyes as she studied the area, scanning for signs of life in close proximity to her. All clear. No one in sight.

She was playing tag with Will, Lily and Abe, since Nick had disappeared off to work in the early hours of the morning; Will had been teasing him that it was only because he wanted to spend more time with Katherine before their working day started. Eve wasn't sure whether this was true or not - voice check hadn't indicated anything - but Nick had coughed in embarrassment every time that she questioned where he was going at such an early hour and promptly left before he could be subjected to anymore teasing.

She clambered over the sofa, dropping silently onto the floor, weapon poised and waiting. Abe and Lily had been chasing each other across the landing and in and out of the upstairs bedroom for the past twenty minutes - she'd heard Abe's battle cries echoing down the stairs as she'd hidden in the living room - but they'd been quiet for a while. It was likely that they'd decided to team up - forming a formidable Watson duo - to hunt down her and Will before they turned on each other again, like they usually did when they played tag. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen or heard Will for a while. Not since the game started, actually. Will was good at that, at disappearing; he knew all the secret hiding places of the house. No doubt he'd leap out when they were least expecting it and take them all down in one swoop.

She ventured towards the living room door, and glanced out into the hallway. Deserted. The lack of noise had her on her guard; silence whilst playing tag was never a good sign. It often meant that one was about to be caught.

She was about to leave the safety of the living room and investigate on the landing upstairs and see if Lily and Abe had formed a coalition, when suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, spinning her round so that she was effectively pinned against the door frame.

"Got you." Will's forehead rested against hers. Sneaking up out of no where again. Eve's mouth turned up into a smile. Her plastic gun fell to the ground, all but forgotten, as the gap between them became increasingly smaller.

"FORWARD TO GLORY!" The intimate moment was broken by the sound of Abe's voice. The younger Watson sibling had tiptoed down the stairs whilst Will and Eve were distracted; foam darts rained down on them, along with Abe's infectious laughter.

"Stop being so soppy, you two!" Lily's voice echoed from the top of the stairs; she and Abe hi-fived, before retreating back up to the landing, Abe trying not to stumble on the stairs as he raced to rejoin his sister. Will shrugged, grinning sheepishly at getting caught displaying affection in a semi-public place; neither him or Eve were comfortable with that.

"Join forces to try to get them back?" He offered. Eve reached down and grabbed her plastic gun, reloading it with more foam darts.

"Of course."
