Author's Note: Okay, hopefully, this makes up for the not-so-great update yesterday. I actually wrote this during 8
th period…Yeah, sitting in the back has it's perks.
Disclaimer: Owning Inception is not one of the "perks" of sitting in the back of the classroom.
Eames was a forger. He literally lied to make a living. Arthur knew this. He also knew that Eames was the very best at what he did.
That never bothered Arthur until now. Now that he was in a relationship with Eames, it scared him half to death. Eames was the only one who could truly get under his skin like this.
Cobb and Ariadne didn't get it; Eames loved Arthur. Arthur loved Eames. Everything should be fine. They'd been together for over a year now; why did the point man doubt it now?
Arthur didn't really understand it himself. He knew Eames cared about him… At least, he thought he knew. It stood to reason that the forger could be lying and Arthur could believe him. It could only be a game to the older forger. He was, after all, just that: a forger, a liar.
Arthur was a point man. He was completely serious in every way. He was calm, cool, and collected.
His attention to detail amazed him. It was beyond Eames how anyone could know so much about someone, only through research. Arthur knew everything about loved that about him. He also hated it.
This is why Eames failed to see what Arthur saw in him. It was common knowledge that Eames was…well, Eames. He'd slept around with almost anything that walked on two legs before Arthur had come around. Eames was a gambler, almost
to the point of addiction. He drank just as much.
The forger wasn't perfect, like everything else in Arthur's life. Eames didn't see why Arthur wanted someone with so many imperfections around ruining his perfect world.
They didn't know what to think completely. Love didn't seem like something that could be this complicated. They didn't know where this was going. Then again, they didn't care.
"…You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter…How can it not matter where that train will take you?"
"Because you'll be together…"
Author's Note: Okay, so for some reason, I just love that quote by Mal and Cobb that I used at the end. It's kind of haunting…I acutally said it about ten times the other day…Hahaha!
Peace, Love, Mark, and Iggy.
