ruffians | 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.]

[He nods again and lifts his head to kiss Arthur's cheek.]

Yes, I'm all in. Honestly I'm excited.

[Arthur grins and turns his head to look at Eames.]

Good. I am too, when I'm not thinking about everything that could go wrong.

[He laughs and nods, there's quite a few ways it could go pretty bad. Why not joke about them???]

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.

[Arthur laughs softly.]

Yeah, might as well, right? I figured we'd at least want separate office spaces.

You know I find a smart, forward-thinking man very attractive.

[get kissed nerd]

[He laughs again, this time it's dry.]

Well then you'll be very turned on by the series of spreadsheets I'm about to make for this move.

Oh god. Are they going to be colour-coded?

[He's trying so hard not to laugh.]

They don't have to be.

[They're just more legible if you do why doesn't Eames see that.]

You better watch out, you're getting me extremely hot right now.

The sarcasm is highly appreciated.

[Eames laughs and kisses Arthur's cheek.]

You're gorgeous.

[He smiles bashfully down at his lap and then turns to cuddle up, looking for more affection.]

[Eames grins and sits up to pull Arthur closer, giving him a bunch of obnoxious kisses all over his face.]

[He wrinkles his nose and laughs.]

[Eames slips an arm around Arthur and sighs, eventually stopping to just rest his forehead on Arthur's temple.]

This is nice.

[To think 24 hours ago he was wondering if it was too early to start drinking.]

It is.

[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.

I'd rather you stay here too.

[He snuggles in.]

I'll probably make a lot more progress once you go but I like having you back here.

[He puffs out a laugh and noses at Arthur's face.]

I guess we'll have plenty of time to get sick of eachother soon enough.

just remember how good this moment feels whenever you think about leaving or kicking me out.

I'll think about how good something feels.

[such a romantic]

[A laugh bubbles out of him as he noses at Eames' cheek and rubs his back. He mumbles against Eames' face as he readjusts to get more comfortable.]

I can't tell if you mean dick or ass.

[Eames laughs too and slides a hand down to find Arthur's ass.]

I was talking about the former, but the latter is very good too.

Yeah?

[He grins and shifts his hips.]

[Well obviously then he's going to give it a good squeeze.]

I think I'd go so far as to say it's perfect.
