Chapter 4 - Competition
Eames and Gianna stayed up late talking, mostly Eames was explaining inceptions over and over again, and woke up the next morning groggily.
"Is there a coffee maker around here somewhere, darling?"
"We'll pick some up on the way to the range, it's about ten minutes from here." Gianna said coming into the kitchen and grabbing her keys. "Let's go."
When they got to the range it was just a large field.
"How do you expect us to shoot anything here, love?"
"Just wait. Oh, and you may wanna get ready. The first to hit seven targets the most accurately, wins." Eames looked at her puzzled, but took his stance anyway.

"Go." Suddenly, there was a stand up in front of them and Eames shot it.
"A little rusty there, darling?" Eames teased.
"Nope. Just warming up." She said, straining to listen to the motors of the stand ups. She spotted one and shot. Three more appeared, Gianna shot two, Eames one. Two more popped up, she got those ones. One more came up Eames shot it. Two came up at opposite ends of the field and she got both of those in the blink of an eye. "I win." She stated cockily.
"You knew the layout!"
"Nope, this is my first time being here. I'm just awesome and you can't handle it."
"Hi guys, how'd it go?" Ariadne asked when they arrived back home.
"Wittle Eames-ey got his wittle ass beat and is now pouting about it." Eames opened his mouth to protest but quickly shut it.
"Wow, Eames speechless? Never thought I'd see the day." Arthur said.
"And will I have to take little Ari to the doctors to make sure she doesn't have little uptight Arthur's growing in her body, love?" Eames retorted making both the colleagues blush. "The blush, and the look to the floor, it all just reeks of guilt." They both looked at each other and walked away in opposite directions.
"Okay, what's the deal? Why are you convinced they're getting down and dirty whenever we're gone?"
"Because, darling, there's one thing you need to know with them, ever since our last job our warehouses have been so think with sexual tension from them you could cut it with a knife. We all know they like each other but Arthur has a stick too far up his ass to admit it. And Ari, well, she's too innocent."
"Well, we'll have to do something about that won't we..." Gianna pondered.
"Cobb just called, he has information about the job. Gianna will drive since she's the only one who knows how to get there."
"Gotcha. Let's go everyone!"
A/N: hehehe i love creating awkward situations. It's the best.
Anyway, I pretty much made myself sit down and write this from the moment I got home but was having a blockage in my brain. XD I guess it's just nerves about starting up Sophomore year in like 5 days...
Good? Bad? Lemme know!
