It isn’t that obvious. Neal doesn’t think it’s that obvious. He’d say it’s maybe… sixty percent obvious as a disaster in the making.
“There’s no way this ends well,” Arthur tries to tell him.
Arthur’d say that it’s more likeninety-five percent … And that that’s his optimistic opinion.
“There’s a forty percent chance that it will,” Neal insists. He insists that Charles is worth it.
He almost punches Arthur in the face, six weeks later, as they speed down the I-90, on their hasty way out of Los Angeles.
Arthur is struggling to contain his laughter.
“Shut up,” Neal says before Arthur can even start.
“Dude. Neal… He thought you were his dead spook ex-boyfriend.” Arthur lets it all come spilling out - words he’s been holding back for hours, shaky with barely restrained mirth. “This is new, even for you.”

*ahem. I love their bond, HOW YOU MADE THIS THEIR TWIN LANGUAGE (or was that just me being flaily at the idea of twins!?), I love that little smidgen of Arthur/Cobb, Eames' little side, "Ur brother crazy." LOLZ, and the entire dynamic.
Bravooo. :D <3

Arthur/Cobb is one of my favorite pairings for that fandom, definitely, but I, too, have written more Arthur/Eames than my OTP, which is Cobb/Saito. The pairing does grow on you, but I'm not gonna lie, the other pairings have a much more interesting dynamic. But that's just me, :D
