Alright here's the next chapter! Sorry for the wait, but I was on vacation and didn't have time to write. I start school today, and I don't know how busy I will be, but I'm going to try to update as much as I can. Anyways, here's the next chapter...I know you all wanted to see what Cobb had to say, but I decided to wait til the next chapter. So hope you like this one! Read and Review!

I don't own Inception..I wish I did though...I wish I owned Joseph Gordon-Levitt too... ;)



The taxi drive back to the hotel was quiet. Both Arthur and Ariadne were too busy thinking about the conversation they were going to have with Cobb. There was an unspoken fear about what he would tell them.

Ariadne looked out the window and sighed, she hadn't meant to sigh out loud, but it came out anyway.

"You ok?" Arthur asked almost instantly.

She snapped her head up and looked at him. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." As if on cue a yawn escaped and she blushed.

Arthur chuckled softly and looked back out the window.

"You can go to sleep once we get back to the hotel." He told her, glancing at her briefly.

It wasn't until now that she thought about what was going to happen. They had one king sized bed. She began to feel hot and looked at Arthur. She would have to share a bed with him. She hadn't thought of it at all. Nervously she began playing with her scarf, not noticing Arthur's questioning gaze.

When they arrived at the hotel, Arthur paid the cab driver and helped Ariadne out of the car. She smiled at him and walked to the elevator, waiting for it to open so they could head to their room.

Ariadne couldn't hold in the yawn and Arthur smiled knowingly. He grabbed her hand and drew circles on her hand soothingly.

"It's been a long day. Technically it's been longer if you think about it. It can get exhausting. Dream sharing that is. Especially with how deep you and Cobb went."

"Yeah, you would think that sleeping 10 hours straight would be less exhausting." She joked.

"Yeah well, not this kind of sleep." Arthur replied. The elevator dinged and they stepped into it and she pushed the button for their floor.

The ride up to the floor was quiet but comfortable. When they reached their floor, Arthur guided them to their room where he inserted the key and opened the door. He followed Ariadne into the room and watched as she collapsed onto the bed.

"You take the bed, I'll take the chair." Arthur finally said.

"What? No, I can't let you do that. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that you aren't comfortable." Ariadne reasoned.

"I'll be fine, I've slept in worse." Arthur informed her.

"No seriously Arthur, it's ok. You need rest just as much as I do, and you need a comfortable sleep. You can't sleep on that chair. Look at it. The bed is big enough for both of us." Ariadne stared at Arthur, she had her mind made up and he could see that. He sighed and smiled.

"Alright, but if you kick me, I'll be sure to wake you up loudly." Arthur joked.

Ariadne laughed and shook her head. "I won't kick you."

She walked to her suitcase and pulled out her pajamas. She walked to the bathroom as Arthur watched her movements. She turned around at the last minute and smiled at him.

"You can change while I'm changing." She told him before closing the door.

Arthur smiled and took out some pajama pants and a blue t-shirt. He took of his blazer and shirt and folded them before putting them on top of his suitcase. He quickly took of his pants and slipped on his pajama bottoms. Folding his pants he heard the door open and a small gasp coming from Ariadne. He smirked and turned around.

"Sorry, I figured you were done, and I…I uh, I'll just go back in and wait." Ariadne rambled nervously.

"Ari, it's fine. I just need to put on my shirt."

Ariadne just stared at Arthur. She hadn't seen him without a shirt before, let alone so casual and underdressed. Knowing that she shouldn't be staring at his bare chest she tried looking away, but she couldn't.

"Ari? Ariadne?" Arthur walked over to her, his shirt still in his hands.

"Uh, sorry, I'm just really tired and zoning out. I think I'm gonna get into bed now." She recovered quickly and walked to the bed, smiling when she knew he couldn't see her face.

Arthur shook his head in amusement and pulled his shirt on, walking to the other side of the bed and getting in.

"Goodnight Ariadne." He said, only to find that she was already asleep. He smiled to himself and leaned in and kissed her forehead before turning off the light and going to sleep himself.

Ariadne woke up feeling a slight weight around her waist. She turned over to find Arthur's arm slung around her waist. Not knowing what to do, she just laid there, staring at him. She smiled and gently cupped his cheek and allowed her hand to roam to his hair, messing it up slightly. Even in his sleep his hair was perfect.

Arthur stirred and she pulled her hand back quickly. Just as she pulled her hand away, Arthur's eyes opened lazily, widening at the sight of her so close. Noticing his arm around her waist, his eyes widened even more, but he couldn't bring himself to pull away.

They both just laid there, staring wide-eyed at each other, not knowing what to say. Their blushes were evident on both their faces and Ariadne quickly dropped her gaze from his.

"Good morning." She whispered shyly. She looked up at him again and saw him smiling softly.

"Good morning. Sleep well?" He asked.

"Yes. I didn't dream though." She answered disappointedly.

"I'm sorry. You've only done one job, so your dreaming should come back." Arthur tried reassuring her. He knew what it was like not being able to dream, but there was always the chance that she would never be able to dream again, and he understood that feeling.

"I hope so. But I doubt it. When was the last time you dreamt?" She asked curiously. Sensing his body tense she looked up at him with a confused expression.

"I dream every once in a while. And when I say once in a while, I mean once in a long while. The last time I dreamt was last year. If I remember correctly that is." Arthur replied.

"Oh." Ariadne barely whispered. Having forgotten about the arm around her waist, she turned over quickly to get out of bed, only to pull Arthur with her, both tumbling to the floor. Arthur landed on top of her, he tried to break the fall so that he wouldn't squish her, but they were both aware that that wasn't the issue.

Surprised, Ariadne could only stare at him, and him stare at her. They stayed that way for what seemed like hours until Ariadne recovered from the shock and gasped.

"I'm so sorry Arthur! I didn't mean to pull you off the bed with me!"

Arthur, also recovered from the moment, chuckled. "It's alright Ari." He quickly got up, helping her up too.

"Thanks. I uh, I'm going to go shower. I won't be long." She mumbled, grabbing a few clothes and rushing into the bathroom, her face flustered.

As soon as the door closed, Arthur sighed nervously. He hadn't realized he was so tense and nervous. He definitely hadn't expected the morning to start off like this. He smiled when he thought of her face when he woke up and when she realized what had just happened when they fell out of bed.

This is going to be an interesting day. Thought Arthur.

Today is the day that Ariadne and he were going to visit Cobb. It was a nerve wracking though. Going to a friend, someone he had worked with for many years, and asking him advice on relationships. Especially since he had dealt with his own problems involving relationships.

Arthur only hoped that they would be able to make this work. He really did like Ariadne. He couldn't say he loved her, that would be too soon. But he did care for her a lot and wanted to get to the point where he could say he loved her. He wanted them to have a chance, and he hoped Ariadne felt the same way.


This was more of a filler chapter I guess, with a little bit of cute interaction...let me know what you think.
