don't panic

[falsify]

[Breaking into a detective's house? Not the sort of risk Eames likes to take. Police are generally insufferable when it gets "personal," so the payoff has to be good to make it worth it.]

[He has no idea if this is going to be worth it, but Arthur has reciprocated. Initiated. Agreed that they should do this. And they can't exactly go out to a bar or even knock on eachother's door... Anything where they might be seen in a non-adversarial context, where Eames isn't being arrested or questioned. And he's staked Arthur out a few times, has a decent enough idea of his routine and the fact he doesn't often have anyone over.]

[Getting into Arthur's apartment isn't actually hard. It's an easy climb to in his blacks, and it's a better lock than most have on their windows, but not one he can't pick, and he's very quiet about stepping inside. Maybe he should call out to check Arthur's in, but he follows his instincts instead, reaching out with a gloved hand to pick up something on Arthur's table and look at it.]

Comments

[Arthur drifts away into sleep pretty easily, despite his paranoia that Eames is going to take something. It's been an unexpected and incredible night and his body feels heavy on the mattress, so he knows it's going to be a good rest.]

[Eames sidles in close as he drifts off himself, draping an arm over Arthur as he settles for a peaceful sleep.]

[When he wakes up it looks like the sun's just about to rise and he groans because he's still tired, but he can catch up on that when he gets home. He gathers up his clothes from around the apartment, gross as it is he can wait to wash until he gets home too. When he gets up, Arthur might notice a few things have been moved by someone, but Eames does resist the temptation to take anything on his way out.]
