Pick-up Lines
Title: Pick-up Llines
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Done for a Round 4 prompt of the inception_kink meme. "Eames loves using the cheesiest pick-up lines on Arthur such as, "Do you work at Subway? Because you just gave me a footlong." Arthur seems disgusted by the pick-up lines but deep down he absolutely loves them and gets turned on."
"Darling," says Eames, when they're going through a stack of files on Robert Fischer.
"Hmm?" Arthur looks up from examining a picture of Fischer on the streets of Sydney.
"Are you okay?" Eames asks, handing Arthur a file he's finished with.
"Of course I am," Arthur replies, accepting the file and flipping it open to leaf through the documents inside, "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because it must have hurt when you fell from heaven," Eames says with a totally straight face.
Arthur smacks Eames upside the head with the file.

Arthur's thinking about Eames' pickup line earlier that day, little tingles going up his spine, when his phone vibrates in his back pocket.
Fishing out his Blackberry, he presses the button for "New Message" only to find a message from Eames. Speak of the devil.
"hv u got a map?" The message reads.
"Yeah, i've got one. Why, heading on a roadtrip?" Arthur texts back, wondering why Eames couldn't have just gone to buy one. Maps aren't exactly expensive.
"b/c i keep getting lost in your eyes" Comes the reply a minute later, and Arthur is torn between wanting to throw the phone against the wall and squealing like a lovesick sixteen year-old girl.

Arthur's going over the blueprints with Ariadne, who's done a hell of a good job with the second level design, when Eames walks by and drops a file on the floor.
"Eames," Arthur calls, running to pick up the file, "You dropped something."
"Why thank you, darling," says Eames, grinning. "By the way, was your father a baker?"
Arthur's caught off-guard by the question. The team members rarely ask about his family, except Ariadne, who's genuinely inquistive. "No, he wasn't, why?"
"Because you've got a nice set of buns," Eames replies, with an even wider grin, and walks off.
It takes him a while to process Eames' reply, but when he finally does, Eames has already gone, and all he can hear is Ariadne's amused laughter.
He blushes a bright red.'

They're testing out the second layer of the dream before the job. Saito, Cobb, Yusuf and Ariadne are in the lobby of the hotel somewhere, planning.
Arthur's sitting at the bar, nursing a beer he stole out of the well-stocked fridge. Bless Ariadne and her penchant for detail, he thinks, before taking a big gulp.
Eames slides in the the seat next to Arthur's, "So, what's a nice boy like you doing in a place like this?" Eames steals Arthur's beer and sips it. "Although, i'd have to give props to Ariadne, this place is amazing."
Arthur swivels round on his barstool. "Seriously, Eames. What's with you and your lines?" he snaps.
"Oh!" Eames exclaims, delighted, "So you noticed them! And here I thought my efforts were going unnoticed!"
"Unnoticed?" Arthur scoffs, "You're about as unnoticeable as Lady Gaga."
"So did you like them, darling?" Eames asks, as though he didn't hear Arthur's statement.
"Like them?" Arthur splutters, "I- I..." He remembers Eames' line about his "buns". "I..."
"You?" Eames prompts, raising an eyebrow, still smiling.
Arthur doesn't reply, but hops off his barstool and proceeds to drag Eames by the tie to the nearest restroom.

And after..
"Arthur?! Eames?! WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE TWO?" An angry-sounding Cobb yells to the other members of the team from outside the restroom.
Arthur and Eames look at each other and grin. Eames is wiping off his trousers (even though there's a pretty obvious wet spot) as best he can, and Arthur is buttoning up his shirt after Eames nearly ripped it apart, trying to run his hands over bare skin.
Arthur is buttoning up his vest when Eames pushes past him towards the door.
"Hey," Arthur says, "Aren't you forgetting something?"
Eames pauses, checking himself and then the floor. "I'm not sure, what?"
Arthur smiles. "Me."
