Some people have girlfriends. Saito thinks of Mal and Cobb. Well, Mal was more Cobb's wife,but had been his girlfriend once. Also she isdead, so Saito supposes that isn't the best example.
Some people have boyfriends. Saito thinks, of course, of Arthur and Eames, best boyfriends for life. He thinks of them often, in fact, sometimes liking to imagine what it was they did every night, what that must be like. Still, that isn't quite Saito's thing. He thinks about Mal's death, about Eames and Arthur's constant bickering. The one Saito loves, he knows he can always count on.
He comes home from a busy, busy day, ready to chill. He plops himself down in a chair in his living room. It's this big, comfortable, expensive, thing, but has never been Saito's seat of preference in the house. But Saito must be patient, must build up to it, for a better experience. He hitches one leg across his knee and slowly pulls off shoe and sock. He sighs. Another shoe comes off, another sock. He tosses them aside. And then, and then, he stands up, and braces himself. He then LEAPS on to the carpet which sits, displayed in the center of the room. He shuffles across it in his bare feet, and instantly feels a tingling sensation charge through him.
"Oh, god," he sighs. "Oh, god, yes." He kneels down and allows himself to rub the carpet tenderly with his palms.
"You feel nice," he tells it. He then rips his pants off in one swift motion. He spreads his legs out as if he's a gymnast doing the splits. The feeling of the carpet between his legs is unlike anything else he's ever experienced. Still in this position, he pulls his shirt off quickly and then he is free. He flops backwards on to the carpet and makes carpet angels. He rolls on to his stomach and slides across the carpet with ease. He moans loudly. It feels. So. Good. He rolls himself up in it like a burrito and ends up accidentally falling asleep like that. It's alright, because he knows that when he wakes up in the morning, his carpet will still be there, wrapped around him, snug and warm.
