Chapter 10 - Focus
"What did you mean 'fall into his flirtations again'?" Eames asked once they arrived back at the house
"I've known Adam since I was fifteen when my typical girl hopeless romantic hormones set in, and every time I see him he always find some way to try and charm me and get into my pants and it always almost works. He just has to get that girls just don't always want to go home with guys and have sex."
"I see." Eames said, contemplating finding the guy and kicking his ass again.
"I've been thinking about what I want to make my totem."
"Fantastic. But don't tell me about it."
"Why not?"
"Because. If I know anything about your totem other than what it looks like, I, or anyone else who knows, can tamper with it and make it useless so you'll never know whether you're in reality or a dream."
"You wouldn't tamper with it would you?"
"No, love. But you never know who could be watching or listening."
"Oh. Okay, well I think I should go sleep since we have to be at the warehouse at two and I want to go running and shooting beforehand."
"You wouldn't mind if I came on your run with you would you?"
"Not at all. I'll be getting up around eleven." She said before heading up the stairs. "Goodnight Eames."
"'Night, love."
"So, I guess they worked it out." Arthur said
"They act like an old married couple already." Ariadne commented. "But, you know Eames though, he doesn't do married and he doesn't do old."
"Ah yes, as I recall, 'Darling, my good looks will last throughout even the worst decomposition.'" Arthur said, imitating Eames. Ariadne was on the verge of tears she was laughing so hard. "What's so funny?"
"That was a terrible imitation."
"Well let's see yours!"
"No way. Only Eames can do Eames" Ariadne laughed before shivering. "Geez it's cold in here."
"Do you want an extra blanket or something?"
"I don't remember where Gianna told us where they are, and I don't want to bother her." Arthur thought about it for a moment before climbing next to her in her bed. He sat stiffly against the wall and wrapped his arms awkwardly around Ariadne, and she relaxed into his awkward embrace. He eventually relaxed and slid down next to her after her breathing became shallow and even.
"I'm going to see if Ari or Arthur want to come for a run." Gianna said while heading up the stairs. "Eames! Do you know where Arthur is?"
"In his room maybe?" He answered sarcastically.
"Thanks for that but he's not there."
"Maybe he went somewhere?"
"Whatever." She said walking to Ariadne's room. "Hey Ari- Oh...I found Arthur!"
"What are you- Oh." Eames said stopping dead in his tracks. "It's about time."
"Well, let's go. Let the love birds have their cuddle-fest." Gianna said, heading out the door. While they were running, Gianna was thinking. What was gonna happen with her and Eames now that they've admitted they have feelings for each other? What's going to happen when the inception job is over? "So, what are you going to do once the job is over?"
"Well, there's a one month period where we can't talk to anyone from the team, so I'll just lie low. Then, I guess if something works out between us, I'll come back here."
"You don't have a home? You'll just leave form where you came from?"
"I don't stay in one place long, love." And that, worried Gianna.
A/N: Ugh, I don't like this chapter but I finally got A/A Fluff in there :3
And some suggested G/E shtuff.
This was just another filler but whatever.
I just wanna say R.I.P. Dan Gordon-Levitt, Joseph's brother, it's unfortunate what happened and I just want to go stalk up on Joe and give him a hug.
Good? Bad? Lemme know!
