Pairings: Arthur/Eames, Arthur/OMC (briefly)
Rating: R
Word Count: 8,219
Summary: Arthur goes on a college visit and arranges to spend the night at Eames' dorm afterward. But their relationship is still very much up in the air and he has no idea what to expect from the trip.
Things had been almost awkward between them on the phone while planning the visit. Arthur had felt a bit worried about telling Eames that he couldn't see him until after his day of touring Northwestern, not wanting any distractions from the experience. Eames had insisted that Arthur didn't need to stay with him so many times that Arthur couldn't help worrying, just a little bit, that maybe Eames didn't want him there. He was pretty sure Eames was just trying not to presume anything, but it was hard not to feel confused about the situation.
They aren't back together and he has no idea what Eames wants in that regard. Maybe he wants to be Arthur's boyfriend again now. But maybe he just wants to hook up with him and then carry on the same as they've done all school year so far. Or maybe he just wants to be friends.
Arthur would like to get back together, but only if they're really going to do it. He's thought really hard about the idea of an open relationship and he knows he couldn't handle it. He doesn't want to let anything happen with Eames until he knows where they stand. But he also knows it's going to be awfully hard to turn Eames down, even if they don't want the same thing.
He is fucking starving for physical affection, and, not to be crude, but for someone to make him come. Before Eames he'd kissed one person per year and not really felt all that deprived by the sparseness of this arrangement. But it's been about four months since camp ended and he's absolutely dying for any kind of contact.
