maybe i should renew my paid
[Things have been... Surprisingly smooth, actually. Not to say it's been easy, and Eames has bitten clean through his lip more than once in his attempts to focus on anything except the smell and sound of living people nearby, but aside from the growing pains it sometimes feels like he was meant for this.]
[Of course that's mostly ego talking and Eames knows it, but that doesn't change how it feels.]
[It takes a while for Arthur to broach the subject of drinking straight from the source. He doesn't say it, but Eames knows a month is much longer than Arthur would've liked to wait, but he'd also guess it's both of their nerves that kept putting it off. Truthfully, Eames doesn't think he'd have any particular feelings about killing someone, but he has very strong feelings about losing control of himself. Probably why Eames keeps insisting he's fine with what's in the fridge and visits to Antonia that Eames is steadily enjoying less. Probably because he absolutely twigs that smug look on her face with the unfortunate frequency of their visits. Though Eames does feel a little better whenever he convinces Arthur to let him contribute or foot the bill. He might not have hundreds of years of accumulated wealth, but he has more than enough.]
[When Arthur brings up the topic of drinking straight from someone though, it sets off an anxiety that Eames doesn't fully know how to deal with, so he immediately decides they both need coffee to give himself a moment to get his head on first. Bringing them back with a more calm expression as he presents Arthur's to him.]
Okay, so how does this work?

How are you feeling?

[He sighs and stretches out a little beside Arthur.]
Still feel like I could get up and go for a marathon, if I'm honest.
no subject
[A soft pat on Eames' chest.]
no subject
[Marathons are boring tbh.]
I won't mind if you take a nap though.

[He lifts his head to look at Eames with a smile.]
I kind of wish I could keep up with you right now.

[He smiles back and cups Arthur's cheek.]
We've got a long time to keep doing this.

God I love you.

[Carefully he extracts himself from the bed and takes himself to the bathroom. He spends some time with his reflection when it catches him how good he looks right now, but after that he washes up and grabs some underwear to throw on so he can go to the kitchen without worrying about touching anything with his junk. Or rather without Arthur getting annoyed with him because he's worrying about it.]
[With the way his senses are heightened, it shouldn't be a surprise that everything tastes more, but it is. The first sip of coffee has him audibly gasping and immediately reaching to get out some of the fancier coffee from the back of the cupboard rather than the every day stuff. Getting an apple out of the fridge while it brews has much the same reaction. By the time Arthur gets up he'll probably be going through their most flavourful foods. And he's also ordered in. He had no idea it was possible to taste this much and he wants to taste everything.]
