OMFG, LOLOL. DAIRY QUEEN AND BURGER KING? I didn't even know that one EXISTED, but I'm just so incredibly amused that Arthur would screw that up as well. Seriously, I don't even...HOW AM I SO LUCKY?! I've never got two fills before and lajdflakjfd this is wonderful beyond WORDS.

“Can you believe this? Leave him alone for two seconds and look at this.”
I might have snorted at this because I can actually see the look on Arthur's face when he says it. And it's totally adorable and perfect and just exactly the reason I wanted this prompt written.

Mal gave Arthur a look- a look that said more than an entire conversation.
Same goes for this, I can picture if perfectly. You have everyone's voices down pat.

It served him right for getting so involved in something that was so perfect already. But he knew- if he could move on, he would’ve done so already.
Okay, my heart broke for Arthur here. It has to be gut-wrenching to watch someone you're in love with be in love with someone else. But of course Arthur is too loyal to leave and like you so beautifully explained, even if he wasn't he's still too far gone for it to make a difference.

“Maybe you could teach me a few things about getting unwanted attention from the masses?”
I love Arthur's wit in this! He's so hilarious and fun, even though he's frustrated as all hell...which makes it even more amusing that he still has the motivation to tease Cobb about it.

“Hey,” Arthur snapped, eyes flashing. “He said he wasn’t interested.”
God, why does this turn me on? Just, unf, the thought of Arthur getting all possessive and jealous is SO DAMN HOT and this line is so fantastic and delicious, damn.

“Must be hard to be so-“
“Shut up, Arthur.”
All these little moments bring the biggest smile to my face! I love the dynamic the two have, how comfortable they are together and how much they enjoy each others company and can just rag on each other. It's so cute.

And then you brought the team into it which was brilliant, especially Eames' note, because he so would write that, and the actual pick up line by Arthur was so horrible it was epic and IDEK, this was just amazing.

Cobb stared. And blinked. And stared some more.
Pretty sure that would be my reaction. I just love how expressive this all is! And all the characters including the people hitting on Cobb have a lot of personality. Thank you so much for filling this too! I do not deserve these at all, OMG. This is ~magical~ and if I could buy you the moon I would, bb! Or a pony. Or both. I'm never going to forget this adorable piece of fic.

For the record? This is the best comment ever. So thanks for that! And I'm not surprised at the multiple fills, it was a pretty sweet prompt!

You can thank the internet for all those incredibly interesting and varied pick-up lines. I read the Dairy Queen one and I knew it was the one, as it were.

I loved Cobb instantly in the movie, but it took me some time to truly appreciate Arthur. I think he's a lot more hilarious than he gets credit for. It's just a more subtle, dry wit. And I think Cobb and Arthur would have a helluva times together!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad it worked for you! <3<3

Why hello there Zoe!

Aww, that's sweet. It's not by far and I wish I could give even more detailed feedback but as I said, there are no words! It's just glorious, period.

Now I'm gonna have to google pick-up lines. There's no way around it.

I don't wanna live in a world where anyone DIDN'T love Cobb instantly. Not only is he gorgeous badass (That opening scene! With the shooting of the guards and catching them before they hit the ground so they don't make a noise, unf.) but he has a lot of charm too, in his own way and his story is just so beautiful and tragic and heartbreaking. And I just kind of went on a rant, SORRY, but the point I was getting to is Arthur is a tornado of awesome and I think you're right in that he probably has a better sense of humor than most of us give him credit for. There wasn't exactly much place for humor in the movie but I'm sure in their day to day Cobb and Arthur have a jolly good time together.

Thank you once again for writing it! Eeeeee.
