BANG!

Arthur's eyes snapped open.

"Can you please stop doing that?" Arthur yelled across the room. He was awake now and nothing would put him back to sleep. He had gone to sleep, through a sedative but Cobb had thought it very funny to come and join him. With that everything seemed to go… well… wrong.

"The curiosity was too much to cope with" he said with a sly smile and Arthur rolled his eyes. "You look interesting asleep. Your guards are down"

"Found anything interesting?" he demanded ignoring the last statement. One thing Arthur hated was people interfering in his personal space.

"Didn't know you are a romantic" Cobb said sitting up from the lay back chair. Arthur returned to his passive and no expression face. He was hiding again: from Cobb.

"Oh no, you don't! You're talking about this" Cobb pressed getting up from his seat and walking over swiftly to Arthur. Arthur had seen Cobb do this before but the conversation was always cut off by something a little more important, usually gun fire. Arthur tensed as Cobb put both hands on either side of his chair. He had been subject to experiments a lot of the time because he trusted Cobb, right now, he wasn't so sure.

"Tell me" Cobb demanded, it wasn't whiny but it wasn't that aggressive. The two of them cope with each other, by this Arthur means: he tells Cobb to calm down.

"No" Arthur said simply, he knew how much this would aggravate his friend but he wasn't going to admit what he knew Cobb already found out.

"Why?" he asked, almost childishly. This was worse than their arguments which seemed to happen more when under inception then out.

But Arthur is stronger. He has lost count of the times he has had Cobb up against a wall for going a little too far. He has seen the flicker across his friend's face and he pulled back feeling ashamed. They could tear each other apart but would want to have the other to hold them back.

But this sensation Arthur felt creeping around him, the guilt of what Cobb saw. It was almost unbearable because the man wasn't talking. He was just looking at him. He was trying to read through him, trying to get beneath his exterior. Arthur wasn't having it. He stood up quick enough to shock Cobb at his movement but not enough to push him off his feet. The man was too alert for that.

"Arthur-" Cobb said. Arthur stopped in his tracks. He was walking over to the table where his files were to get away from the heat that was building up. When Cobb said his name blinked very slowly. Normally when Cobb wanted something from Arthur or he wanted him to do something he looked at him, and said it. Not this time. Arthur swiveled in his place to look at Cobb. The man stood there, looking almost like a little lost boy. Arthur adjusted his tie and then walked slowly back to Cobb. It was then he realized how cold the room had got, they were the only ones there, everyone else had gone home. They stood away from each other, like they do when they are with other people.

"Sorry" Cobb said hitting him lightly on the arm. Arthur comically winced.

"You abuse me" he said without humor shaking his head.

"Sorry about that too" Cobb said putting both hands on Arthur's forearms and clapping them.

"Forgiven" Arthur said, wishing he would stop… touching him.

"Good. But…" Cobb mused as he walked backward so his form was outlined in the light that was fading from the tinted windows.

"Really...Eames?" he asked and Arthur decided to throw the one thing to indicate that he was just dreaming about it, his loaded di.

It bounced off a smirking Cobb and hit the floor, landing on a 6.

Shit.


Well well well... do you get it or not... are you puzzled or do you think it's good. Review and answers might become clear in next chapter. :D
