Household chores, on the other hand, are often ideal cuddle opportunities. Doing the dishes, for example, keeps Eames relatively stationary, making it easy for Arthur to slide up behind him and slip his arms around his waist. Dish washing takes relatively little concentration, but does require a certain amount of personal application to finish, so Eames is unlikely to try to divert the cuddling into more amorous activities since he knows he'd just have to go back to finishing the dishes afterward. If Eames has a tendency to get frisky just after finishing the dishes, well, Arthur doesn't have any personal complaints about that.
Cooking dinner is another perfect sneaky cuddle opportunity because Eames is, again, not moving all around and unlikely to stop in the middle to either dislodge Arthur or to initiate sex because then dinner gets burned. That's ten to thirty minutes of uninterrupted snuggle time, depending on what Eames is making. The only down side is that Arthur is sometimes roped into cutting vegetables even though it's not his dinner night.
Arthur is still working on his vacuum-cuddle skills.
Step Three: When in doubt, lie, lie, lie.
This usually takes the form of Arthur 'falling asleep' during a movie on Eames's shoulder. Plausible deniability has always been an asset in Arthur's line of work, and his current full time occupation cuddling Eames is no different. A 'sleeping' Arthur cuddles like a limpet and then disclaims all conscious knowledge or control over it in the future, which makes it very difficult for Eames to effectively prevent future recurrences. Arthur also strenuously denies allegations that Arthur occasionally engages in nuzzling while 'sleeping', head on Eames's shoulder and half-draped across Eames's lap.
Sometimes being a man of dubious moral character has its benefits.

Oh, I feel like there should be a book named "How to Cuddle Your Arthur." And someone should give it to Eames. Maybe he enjoys seeing Arthur's stealth cuddling--all the plans let him work off extra energy. And Eames is so cuddly, who could resist.
I love this line--A 'sleeping' Arthur cuddles like a limpet and then disclaims all conscious knowledge or control over it in the future, which makes it very difficult for Eames to effectively prevent future recurrences.
Cuddle fic is made of win. I would definitely read more.
