Ships Passing: The fallout of falling in to bed - For Arthur
Eames had roused when Arthur started moving, though he wasn't even close to ready to get out of bed. The beauty of things was, it wasn't as if he could be seen going in at the same time as the point man, so he merely dragged the blanket half over his head and pretended to sleep.
He lay there, listening to Arthur move around the room, crawling out long enough to kiss him and mumble about seeing him later in the day.
Except Eames never came in. No call. Just a text saying all was good, explain later. He said nothing though when he came in the day after, two days worth of stubble and looking downright worn and weary as he dropped down at his desk.

God, he had wanted Eames alone since that morning when they were in the storeroom.

Smiling as he leaned in, brushing a kiss to the corner of Arthur’s mouth before he moved to sit on the sofa. “I still feel like an arse not contacting you sooner. I lured him out of Paris and by the time everything was taken care of, it was so late.”
And he was coping with killing someone with his bare hands when he was responsible for his own predicament. He had incurred the debt.
“Arthur. I want you to know… I know I incurred the debt. I paid it back though. I thought that was it but they weren’t backing down. I wouldn’t risk this team though. I swear.”
no subject
"Let's be honest here, you know had I been in your shoes, I would have done the same thing and not returned until I knew it was safe," he said, honestly as he made his way over to the sofa. "So don't feel like an ass." He sat down and took Eames' hand in his and giving it a squeeze.

Sprawling out, watching Arthur with more fondness than he was aware of as he settled in there.
"I made the bets," he said as if that would instantly shift all the blame to him. "I shouldn't have taken the chance with an unknown," he said, moving to curl his fingers around Arthur's. "Like I said though. No one will come looking and no one had a clue to come here, or to any of you."
no subject
"It isn't the first time you've made bets though," he said and glance down at their interlocked fingers. "Is it? You usually know what you're getting yourself into with shit like that. Did you pay off your debt?" From how Eames made it sound, he had and in that case, the fault rested with the dead bodies not Eames.
no subject
Even as he spoke, anger riled up in his tones, rumbling through him. "So they screwed me into a corner thinking they could get me to work for them. Except this job came along." Which explained why he leapt at coming along.
no subject
Sure, the man liked to place bets and gamble but Arthur always figured that was part of what made Eames, Eames. "It was stupid to place bets with that type of man," he wasn't going to sugar coat that part no matter what they may be doing behind closed doors. "But they were idiots if they thought you, or we were going to take that laying down. You did what you had to do," he said, finally and looked at him. "I might have had to kick your ass if you had lead them to us." But he hadn't and that was the most important thing.
A part of Arthur said that Eames could have called him but until this job, they hadn't exactly been on speaking terms. He moved in closer to the forger and tightened his hand around Eames' very capable hand.
no subject
"Yeah well... I've avoided a lot of the things I used to do since her death," he admitted in a soft voice. "So they thought maybe I went soft. I know others thought it." He frowned, darkly and looked away. "I wouldn't risk any of you," he muttered.
no subject
He never considered Eames as soft. He always figured there was something going on underneath all the layers.
no subject
He did chuckle though.
"Naw, he has the kids. Without them though... who knows." He sighed, shaking his head. "I don't like killing, Arthur."

"I didn't even consider that," he admitted softly. "You got rid of the risk and therefore, you're still in on Inception. I wouldn't work this job with anyone else."
no subject
He wouldn't have held it against him. Not in the least. Not if he had thought Eames was a detriment to the job.
no subject
He leaned in and pressed their lips together in a slow kiss. "If you hadn't done what you did or hadn't called me if you needed me, we would have a different matter on our hands." Arthur was nothing but honest.
no subject
“If you had to cover with me to the others, I owe you. I’m more worried though… I know how pissed and annoyed I would have been if you hadn’t called the day after. I definitely owe you for that.” He winked at him, trying to act himself.
no subject
Arthur shifted on his lap and pressed his lips against Eames' again softly, biting playfully on his bottom lip. "Are you hungry at all? Have food -- that I didn't cook."
no subject
"I could eat," he admitted with the shrug of one shoulder. "You can't cook?"
no subject
no subject
"Don't be long," he admonished in a soft, tender growl.
no subject
"Mm, I won't," Arthur murmured and slid from his lap to walk over to the small kitchen and taking out the food. It was all food that he knew wouldn't be bad if it was cold - salad, cold cuts, cheese, fruit and bread.
no subject
That Arthur had gone through all that trouble meant a lot to Eames and he couldn't help but smile that he'd done this.
"You're good to me, you know."
no subject
He shrugged a shoulder and sent him a smile. If given the chance, you would probably do the same. "Want something to drink?"

Arthur had feelings. Lots of them.
I adore his feelings! All the feelings. Always!
All the feelings forever!
And evers!
