"You saw Y/L/N and Sousa too, right?"

I took a deep breath and blinked, trying to figure out what he was referencing. Our two mutual friends had been dancing around each other for a month now, both painfully oblivious that their feelings were requited, and it had been hell for the entire office to watch. After another moment of thought, I realized they'd been hovering by the coffee maker together just before my stack of files had pulled my attention away, chatting, leaning into each other, and taking every opportunity to make even the smallest of physical contact.

"Yes, actually, I did. It really is remarkable that neither of them has realized how painfully hard the other is trying to flirt, isn't it?" I mused. Jack huffed.

"Remarkable's one word for it." I looked over at him, and he met my eyes with the same intensity as any of our most serious missions. "We need to do something, Carter."

"What? Jack, you must be kidding."

"Absolutely not. I'm going crazy watching those two every day. It was funny at first, but now it's just annoying, and it's distracting the other agents. I can't imagine it'll take much to push those two towards each other, so... c'mon, let's brainstorm something."

I leaned back in my chair, processing Jack's proposal. It was ridiculous. And Y/N and Daniel would both be furious with us if they knew what we were planning. And yet...

"You know what, Jack? I'm in." I took my feet off his desk and leaned forward instead. "Let's do this."

Jack and I bounced idea after idea off each other, each scheme getting crazier than the last. I couldn't help thinking we would've been better off doing this when we were both much less tired, but it was too late for either of us to back out now.

"Alright, what if we forced them to confess to each other-"

"Carter, how would that even work?"

"It's easy! We'd get some truth serum from Howard-"

"He has that?"

"Probably! And if he doesn't already I'm sure he'd be willing to make it-"

"Carter. What if we just locked them both in the interrogation room and didn't let them out until they got somewhere?"

I stared at Jack for a few beats, then huffed as I leaned back in my chair.

"Well, I suppose if you want to do it the boring way."
