Sweet Disposition 001: Maybe If I'm Lucky I'll End Up In Your Arms
Note: A direct/immediate continuation for this thread.
It was one of the rare occasions that Arthur wasn't dressed in a complete suit when he came into work. His usual button down shirt and slacks with a belt were present along with his well-polished shoes. His tie and matching suit jacket (and even waistcoat) were missing. He had a reason for that, though -- as Eames would find out.
It was not so rare that he was the first one to arrive, however, and he already had the files he had taken yesterday out on Eames' usual table as well as cleaned up what little messes he could find. Surprisingly, there weren't many.
Perhaps Eames was actually learning not to be a slob with a short attention span. Or maybe Ariadne or Yusuf had come in later and cleaned up after him before leaving last night.
Either way, Arthur was going to go through with his "plan". It would have to be when he and Eames were alone, of course, but this early (and with how Eames seemed to be making it a point to show up earlier) Arthur was feeling confident that he wouldn't have to wait for long. And if he did, he knew he had the patience to bide his time for the right moment.
He ended up putting some coffee on as he waited for the next member of their team to show up, getting his laptop out and starting it up as well. Arthur wasn't particularly sure how Eames would respond to said "plan" but, he was good with having backup plans ready in case the original one fell through (what kind of point man would he be if he didn't?).
