Prompt: "I need you to pretend we're dating…"


Q's POV
The first thing Eve says as she walks into his office is, "I have a huge favor to ask of you. I need you to pretend we're dating and go with me to a family reunion."

He arches one dark brow at her, querying, "You recall that Jim is the social one of our partnership?"

Chuckling softly, she nods, "Yes, but you are the one who excels at fading into the background." She pauses, tilting her head slightly and commenting, "You're also the one I get along with better."

He snorts, simply stating, "Yes."

One thing he is well aware of is the fact Jim is friends with very few people. Actually that list has four names as far as he is aware, and since they discuss a lot of things neither will ever admit to discussing, he is pretty sure that it is only those four names. Well, perhaps his sometimes lover can be counted as well, but he's not going to because he doesn't actually like the sometimes lover.

"You owe me," he eventually comments, finishing up his project and turning his attention to her. "Tell me everything I need to know, I'll be going as Pike, of course."

She studies him for a long moment, as if thinking about what he said before her eyes widen in shock. "How'd I forget you used to work for MI5?"

His lips curve in a satisfied expression, "For the exact same reason you want me to go with you. Most of the double-oh's and members of Q-branch forget that I was a member of Q-branch before I got this job for that reasoning too."

Nodding, she sets to telling him all about it and why she is attending when she really rather not.

He merely smiles and formulates a plan of action. It will be nice to be Pike for a few hours, for his sassy yet easily forgotten self to delight in a mission. Of course, he could have suggested a host of people who would have worked, but she asked him for help, so he'll do it. He'll get her assistance for dealing with his attraction to a certain pair of double-ohs.
