Deafening

Arthur walks to the closet, trips over a pair of shoes that had been absentmindedly tossed aside, and stumbles into the clothes, gripping the door for support.

"Hm, how graceful," he can hear Eames tease, suppressing a laugh. Arthur hears it loudly and clearly.

He takes his jacket off dismally and slides a hanger into it. He can hear Eames chuckle.

Arthur's fingers drum on the shoulders of the jacket, restless fingers.

He dejectedly exhales a held breath and he hangs the jacket among the many others.

He hears Eames, but Eames isn't there.
