OMFG GUYS! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT
PAPERED POSTED
THE FIRST PART OF THAT FIC FOR ME?! ASDSKLF;SOFKDSL!!! I knew this was going to happen! The last time she brought it up, I was totally thinking about how when she finally posts my fic, I'd probably end up being so busy that I don't check my f-list for a week or whatever and I'd probably miss it and that's exactly what happened! BUT OMG GUYS, I FINALLY READ IT JUST NOW AND IT IS SO AMAZING! Seriously guys, waking up in the future is, like, one of my favorite tropes EVER and I AM SO FULL OF JOY RIGHT NOW, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW ELSE TO EXPRESS IT!!!
"Eames?" Arthur asks. He looks a little questioning, but comfortable and assured - like he belongs here in Eames' life instead of having appeared in the middle of the night.
Eames open his mouth, then pauses as he wonders how he's going to word this. "Darling. What are you doing here?" he asks finally. It's blunt but it gets the point across.
Arthur stares at him. "I live here."
Eames laughs. "No you don't, don't be silly."
"Eames. I've been living here for almost a year."
Eames look at him, disbelieving. "You can't be living here - this is my apartment." He would say more, but then he catches sight of Arthur's expression and the words dry up in his throat.
Arthur's staring at him like he can't believe what Eames is saying. There's a long terrible pause, during which Arthur just looks at him and Eames can't help but feel like the room has become noticably colder.
"Is this your way of telling me you don't want this relationship to continue anymore?" Arthur says eventually, and when he speaks, his voice is quiet in a way Eames has never heard before. It throws him off balance, because it's so unlike the always-composed Arthur he knows to show any sign of uncertainty.
