Are they friends or just on the same side?

I should have said allies or trading partners in weaponry?

Reminds me of high school cricket. We were batting last and chasing a score, was looking a bit dicey. I was batting along with another guy. We didn’t get along, we disliked each other. But we put on a cameo partnership and won the game for our school. After the game nothing changed, we didn’t suddenly become friends.

marriages/partnerships of perceived necessity.
