vampire trash? me?
[It's been on his mind a lot over the last few weeks, the idea of becoming a vampire. Partially because he's looking older than Arthur these days, and if he lets that go on too long it's going to get pretty weird, but moreover he just feels ready]
[Anxious as fuck, but ready.]
[The idea of it is terrifying — he'd gone to Mal for an explanation of the finer details rather than worry Arthur with his questions, seeing as she's actually done it before and Arthur hasn't — the idea that he could just... Die. It's not one that sits easy with Eames. He rather likes being alive, in fact half the point of becoming a vampire is to keep being alive, for a stretch on the word, forever.]
[So he's been dealing with that a lot, pretending otherwise whenever Arthur notices him being distant or pensive so he can work out his feelings on this without any outside influence. He knows Arthur wouldn't be mad if he changed his mind, it's a huge change to undertake, but it's not that he might not want this so much as wondering if the risks are really worth it.]
[They are.]
[But now they need to talk about it, so Eames is psyching himself up to do exactly that. Offered to stay in and make dinner while Arthur's off doing his errands to give himself some time alone to think about it. Maybe making some significant progress on a bottle of wine to calm his nerves, maybe it'll slow him down enough Arthur won't realise how keyed up he is the second he gets home.]

You mind if I go without a condom?
[Maybe it's a dick move to get Eames all worked up first, but they both know they're not going anywhere else tonight and they both like it better this way.]

[He smirks up at Arthur, laying back and pushing a hand through his hair while he waits. He probably would've asked for it that way anyway, so he has zero objections.]

[Eames is right about the blood - it’s like a zero-calorie version of the real thing that doesn’t light up the same things in his brain but still tastes good. The biting hasn’t even been all about the blood for years now. Arthur just wants to hear the sounds Eames makes.]

[At that point he pushes himself up to look down at Eames, take in the gorgeous image of him.]

How the fuck did I get so lucky?
no subject
[Eames pulls a face, totally not following what's going on here.]
no subject
[Arthur's just totally overwhelmed by how beautiful and interesting and wonderful Eames is.]

[He grins up at Arthur.]

I'm glad you're my boytoy.

I couldn't have picked a better rich, gorgeous immortal.

[Arthur drags a hand up Eames' thigh, just to be affectionate as he leans in for another kiss, having pretty much forgotten about the blood in his mouth.]

Morning's coming in a couple hours, you have anything else you wanted to do during your first full night as a vampire?

I'm ready to sleep.

[Within the week, Arthur makes good on his promise to get Eames some fresh blood. He's determined to ease him into this even if it's a bit... atypical. When he was turned, killing was an inherent part of being a vampire, and it made him forget his humanity and then hate himself for a while before he went back to forgetting just to cope. So, for Eames, he decides to use all his connections to his advantage and show Eames how to survive without the killing first.]
[Tonight they're going out to a club. It's loud and busy but Eames has been out and around humans a few times now and Arthur sticks close to him to make sure he's okay. He nods on the way past the bartender and leads Eames past some burly looking bouncers up a set of stairs where the music isn't quite as loud. There are a number of private rooms up here but Arthur leads Eames to the door farthest along the balcony. He knocks a couple times and a woman's voice shouts that it's a private room, so Arthur says something that sounds like latin and then lets himself in.]
[It looks like some kind of terribly bourgeois birthday party - a dozen or so men and women in their 20's and 30's draped in expensive clothes and jewellery. A woman who looks significantly less intoxicated than the rest stands in the middle with a needle and an unimpressed look on her face. She tells Arthur he needs to work on his accent and turns to continue her conversation with one of the human guests. Arthur's hand stays firm on Eames' arm.]
no subject
[It's a relief for a moment to be off the floor and somewhere else in the building until Eames realises what this room is. He's sure he can smell blood too, which puts him back on edge. It's not a surprise, considering what they're here for, but it still makes his greeting a little less warm than ususl.]
