Title: Undercover Rating: G Word count: 202 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Clary and Mattes have to pose as a couple. Set in the DeadAlive universe where Clary and Mattes are FBI agents. Based on an X-Files quote.
-
“Rob and Laurie Petrie?” I demand, incredulously. I’m staring; both at the legal documents, and then back at Mattes. Sometimes, Mattes’ lack of good sense surprises me. Sometimes.
“Pee-trie,” Mattes says, brightly. “Like the dish!”
I consider prematurely terminating this pseudo-marriage. Killing Mattes would probably be a way to do it. Truth to be told, I’m not used to this. Not at all. I can’t help thinking it’s too soon, and the way the ring sits on my finger feels uncomfortably like the way it did when Tom first put it there.
I’ve promised myself to stop second-guessing. If we have to do this, then we have to do this, however I feel about it. Even if it means going undercover with Mattes to pose as a couple and prospective home buyers.
“Mattes, the next time we go undercover, I get to pick the names,” I say. If I have a choice, there won’t even be a next time. Not of this sort.
“Fine.”
I don’t know why his ready agreement makes me more angry. “It just tells me you’re not taking this seriously,” I snap at him.
“Are you?” he asks.
I don’t know what answer I have to give him.

I love that she's picking at him about little things like the names to hide her insecurity with all of it!
