A/N: Really loved this movie (seeing it again tomorrow!) and decided to rewrite a scene. I don't really like the whole A/A pairing and prefer Cobb/Ariadne.
Distraction
"Did you try to distract the projections?" Cobb asked Arthur as they were ready to go under for the third level, this time in Eames's dream. They were about to put Fischer under.
"Yeah, we did," Arthur said, glancing at Ariadne, she seemed to avoid his eye contact with him for a moment. What the hell happened? Cobb thought.
"How?" Cobb asked. Eames smirked loudly making the three look at him.
"Isn't it obvious?" Eames asked, slyly.
"No," Cobb replied.
"They kissed," Eames laughed. "Good on ya, darling," he hit Arthur in the back. Cobb glanced from Arthur to Ariadne. She shrugged at him.
"It didn't work anyway," Arthur told him. He opened the case and pulled the PASIV cords out. While Cobb attached his own, he glanced at Ariadne.
"It didn't," Cobb repeated. Ariadne smiled at Cobb warmly.
"I was too busy worried about you," she explained to him. Cobb's eyebrows rose slightly.
"Like I said worth a shot," Arthur said sarcastically. Cobb just nodded at Arthur and he just lingered on Ariadne for a moment longer than necessary. They locked eyes for a moment before going back to work.
"Cobb and Ariadne sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G," Eames sang and laughed as they hooked to the machine.
"Really mature, Eames," Arthur replied, hotly.
"Jealous," he teased. Arthur rolled his eyes and glanced back in between Ariadne and Cobb. He knew something was going on, something that he didn't know. He realized then that he wouldn't be able to the girl by being sneaky. He knew one thing now that he couldn't change. She only had eyes for the Extractor and not The Point Man.
