i'm gonna leave you
[The last few months with Arthur have been... Nice. Really, really, nice. In some ways he's been happy that he convinced Arthur to take that day off, because it's opened them up to spending more time together for reasons other than sex, (though the sex, as always, has been outstanding,) and Eames has enjoyed it. A lot. It's something he hadn't ever thought of as missing in his life, but he could get used to it.]
[That's a problem.]
[He's seen relationships undo enough people in his line of work that that alone makes him hesitant, but with Arthur, well. Sleeping with a cop is fun, and mutually beneficial, but there's no long-term to something like that and Eames can't let himself get attached. He respects Arthur enough too, to at least do him the decency of talking to him and explaining himself instead of just vanishing. Arthur's more than good enough to track him down and shoot him if he did anyway.]
[He's been going over it again and again, and eventually he just decides to let himself in one night, waiting for Arthur to get home in his living room so they can just get this over with.]

Well, I've done this a lot so it's easy for me. If I had to, I could be ready to go by this evening.
[Which is to say he's moving fast because this is no big deal for him.]
But we can move slower if you want. Or I can pretend not to notice whenever you seem anxious. Whatever you need.
no subject
I don't want you to pretend. I just need to know that you're all in on this, and you'll probably have to keep reminding me. This isn't exactly the kind of thing that I just... do.
no subject
Yes, I'm all in. Honestly I'm excited.
no subject
Good. I am too, when I'm not thinking about everything that could go wrong.
no subject
I was going to say we should get a spare room-- I don't know about you, but I haven't lived with somebody else in maybe a decade. [He gestures to the laptop.] But it seems like you're way ahead of me there.
no subject
Yeah, might as well, right? I figured we'd at least want separate office spaces.

[get kissed nerd]
no subject
Well then you'll be very turned on by the series of spreadsheets I'm about to make for this move.
no subject
[He's trying so hard not to laugh.]
no subject
[They're just more legible if you do why doesn't Eames see that.]

[To think 24 hours ago he was wondering if it was too early to start drinking.]
no subject
[He sighs and puts his other arm around Arthur to squeeze him.]
I should go home at some point, but I'd rather stay here.
no subject
[He snuggles in.]
I'll probably make a lot more progress once you go but I like having you back here.
no subject
I guess we'll have plenty of time to get sick of eachother soon enough.

[such a romantic]
no subject
I can't tell if you mean dick or ass.
no subject
I was talking about the former, but the latter is very good too.
