A/N: I do not own Inception, though it would be awesome if I did.

Big Bangs

Arthur and Ariadne were very professional when they worked together. So only the original team knew they were together. There were subtle hints that should have given them away. Strangely enough, they never did. But those days are over. Because they didn't need an extractor anymore. And Arthur and Ariadne were the reason for that. They learned, well Arthur learned, the techniques because the extractors they had,… Well let's just say went away with big bangs

Jerry

The first one after Cobb was a big mistake. His name was Jerry. He was arrogant, cocky and he thought he was the best at what he did ( and everybody knows that was Cobb). After this job they had to find another one. But for now he had to do.

The team was preparing for the job. Yusuf was making his sedatives, Ariadne was making sketches, Arthur was looking for stuff that could help them, Eames was being himself ( so getting on Arthur's nerves) and Jerry, well nobody knew what he was doing. But they didn't care. Even Eames, who was someone who was someone that easily went along with someone, didn't care.

And then Jerry walked in. He walked around like he was the king of the world.

"So, Ariadne, care to show me what you have so far?" he asked her

"No, now let me work. Go away." She snapped at him.

"But – "

"Leave her alone" Eames said when he saw that Arthur wasn't there to also snap at him.

"So where is Mister Stiff?"

"Arthur went home already. He had to be somewhere." Ariadne said. Eames gave her a cheeky grin. A couple of minutes later Ariadne also left, followed by Eames and Yusuf. Leaving Jerry alone. He hooked himself to the dream machine as he called it. And fell asleep having inappropriate dreams about a certain person.

The next day when Jerry woke up everybody was there already.

"Ok you're awake," Arthur said. "Now I can start. Tomorrow we will perform the extraction. We have to check-in at 6 o'clock. But we will meet here at 5. Afterwards no talking to each other for at least 24 hours. Ok, that's it. Get enough sleep (A/N: mwahaha, sorry). Oh, we meet again three days from now for a check-up and the money."

Afterwards they did last-minute checks, well Arthur, Ariadne and Yusuf did. Eames went away after Arthur's speech and Jerry just stared at Ariadne.

"Will you stop!" Ariadne said furiously. "It's annoying the crap out of me." She was glad Arthur was doing a check-up with Yusuf. Otherwise they wouldn't have an extractor tomorrow. She went to the room where Arthur and Yusuf were.

"I'm going home already. See you soon?" Ariadne said and Arthur nodded.

A/N: in between these two parts is SLEEPING HABITS, now you understand my mwahaha.

The job had gone smoothly. Except for Eames's teasing about the ring.

"So that's why you left early two days ago."

Arthur and Ariadne were sleeping. Arthur was at least. When Ariadne heard a knock on their hotel room door. She climbed out of bed silently, careful not to wake up Arthur. Jerry was standing in front of the door. She didn't open and he left after 5 minutes. On his way back he passed Eames.

"Where did you come from?"

"Ariadne's room. She wasn't there though if you're going there. " Eames seriously doubted that. But he was planning something. An engagement present.

"If you admit that you love her tomorrow in front of Yusuf, Arthur and me. And you get away with it without a scratch. I'll give you all the money I earned."

Jerry looked at him. He had nothing to fear right. He would never be rejected by her.

"I accept. But what's in it for you?"

"Nothing." Jerry seriously doubted it but then again nothing could go wrong.

"The job went good. The money will be put on your accounts tomorrow. So that's it. I'll see you guys later." Arthur announced

"Wait. I have to say something too." Eames had a smile on his face that made everyone suspicious except Jerry.

"Ariadne," she knew what was coming. Damn you, Eames. " I want to tell you," Arthur understood. "that I love you with my heart and soul." WHAM. Arthur's fist smacked into Jerry's face.

"Arthur, I perfectly capable of doing things myself. But thanks." And then she shoved her knee into his guts before going after Arthur for fist aid

"Jealous, are we?" she said laughing. He shook his head.

"I love you." And then she kissed him.

Katherine

A/N: This is a year after Jerry, but before Understatement.

Katherine was a different story. Everybody liked her. And it was good for Ariadne to have another woman on the team. But after two successful jobs something became clear to Ariadne. Something she didn't like.

It was a couple of months after the job ended. Ariadne and Katherine were drinking coffee together. But something was different. Katherine was beaming.

"What's going on?" Ariadne asked

"What do you mean? Nothing is going on." Katherine tried to lie but she knew she failed miserably. Yeah right, thought Ariadne to herself.

"Okay, who is he? Do I know him?" Shyly she nodded. Ariadne smiled. She knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

"So who is it? Is it Eames?" Katherine shook her head fiercely.

"God no. Imagine… No, it's Arthur." Ariadne turned into ice. Katherine didn't notice and kept on talking.

"He's so dreamy, you know" Yeah I know "Always a gentleman. I know he has feelings for me" Sure he does "Just the way he looks at me. But he doesn't show it because he is a professional." Ariadne wanted to laugh but she couldn't. How could she not have noticed. Luckily for her Katherine stopped talking. But it was so suddenly she looked up to see for what reason.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear

"Arthur" Ariadne waved at him to join them. He looked a bit confused. She had a smile on her face that resembled to the one that Eames' had when he was about to make a comment on him. But he also saw anger in her eyes. Something only he would notice. He also saw Katherine trying to tell Ariadne something.

"Ariadne, don't. I don't want him to know." But she wasn't listening.

When he joined them Ariadne pulled him right into their conversation.

"So Arthur, a question," Ariadne said, "are you seeing someone?" He looked at her weirdly. She knew he was. She knew that very well.

"Well,… err,… Yeah. But you already knew that right?" He said extremely confused. But then Arthur saw Katherine's face fall. He looked at Ariadne with a questioning look as Katherine made hasty goodbyes and left.

"What was that for?" he asked her.

"She was in love with someone." He nodded at her to continue. But his unasked question was answered by the look on her face. The next thing she knew he was laughing.

"Jealous, are we?" he asked between laughs. She just glared at him. But gave in to his infectious laugh and joined in.

The next day Katherine went to the warehouse. Yusuf and Eames were strangely enough the only ones there.

"Did you know that Arthur was seeing someone?" she asked firstly Yusuf, who looked at her as if she had asked him the dumbest question ever, and the Eames.

"Why would you ask that?" Eames asked her with a smirk on his face.

"Well, yesterday Ariadne and I were talking about love." His smirk turned into a smile. " And I might have said something in the lines of 'I have a crush on Arthur'" she wanted to continue but was cut off by Eames.

"You said that to Ariadne?" she nodded. And then he started laughing. But not only him also Yusuf joined in. After a while Eames said

"You know, that was a conversation I would have paid to see. And even better would have been if Arthur was there too." He saw her face fall even more. Eames saw it and put the pieces together.

"He was there, ah poor you." Katherine was getting confused and really annoyed. What did everybody know about Arthur?

"What did she do to you?" Yusuf asked with a hint of compassion in his voice.

"She asked him if he was seeing someone." Yusuf thought that she needed to know the truth. But Eames said she was a smart girl and would be able to put the pieces together.

But before she could Arthur and Ariadne walked in.

"Does she know?" Arthur asked Eames. He shook his head. But then it clicked. For the first time she noticed something she should have seen before. Ariadne wore a small golden ring. Like she always did. But now she noticed Arthur was wearing the same ring around his finger.

She ran away and wasn't seen again.

Ariadne wasn't proud of what she had done. But now everyone knew Arthur was hers and she would let everybody know.

A/N Hope you enjoyed it. I sure as hell enjoyed writing mean Ariadne and jealous Arthur
