So as much as I loooove Eames x Arthur, I really like Cobb x Arthur as well.

So guess who is getting their own drabble series as well? Yup , them ~

Pairing: Cobb x Arthur, minor Cobb x Mal

Rating: T for mild violence.

I do not own anything to do with Inception !


Laying on the ground, with a pool of his own blood surrounding his hip, Arthur started to wonder just why he was always the target of Mal's attacks.

It was as though he and the woman had, had a bad relationship when she was alive. Actually, they got along just as well as a wife and her husband's closest friend probably could. At least in his eyes, but the point man knew that he wasn't always the most in-tune when it came to other people's emotions. Well, other than Dominic's, but he had known the man for almost five years, that was to be expected.

"Arthur, jesus. She really goes after you."

The sound of said man's concerned voice caused the brunette to lift his head weakly, and nod at him, a wry smile splitting his dry lips.

"What do you have against me, that causes her to lash out at me so violently?" Arthur asked, shaking his head lightly, before letting it fall back against the ground, a dull thump sounding just as he did.

"Arthur I don't. . ."

"No - I was joking Dom. But can you please just put me out of my misery. My hip hurts like hell." The point man croaked out, glancing blearily down at his heavily bleeding left side. Seeing all the red was enough to make the brunette lightheaded, needing to close his eyes. "Hurry." The young man grunted, knowing that if he still had his gun, he would of long ago put himself out of this misery.

Feeling the cool press of the gun to his forehead, Arthur let his eyes flutter open for a second. Allowing the man to see a faint grin, the point man was thrust back into the waking world once the trigger was pulled.

"What, you don't want to explain to your little lover-boy that you want him. That you want to replace me with him!" Mal's outraged, and anger distorted voice rang out, causing Cobb to turn around and stare at the woman.

He held the gun up , as if he might actually shoot the woman who gave birth to his children. They both knew that he wouldn't though. "You don't know what you are talking about." The extractor muttered in a low voice, taking a step back , knowing to finish the job he'd need to get away from the woman.

"You can keep running from the truth Dom. But it and I will always find you!" The woman called out, before the gun behind her back became visible, and she fired the shot at her husband. Killing him, and kicking him back into reality. Leaving him to question everything about his relationship with Arthur.
