a snuggle with arthur/eames (1/2)anamuanMarch 8 2011, 01:16:16 UTC
For someone as handsy as Eames, he's remarkably reticent about snuggling. It's not that he dislikes it, so much as it's that he's learned to say away from it. Just in case. Arthur attributes it to the rather more criminal company he keeps. Nothing like a couple of lone sharks in a row to make you a little leery of extraneous touching. Or you know, human company. Only the figurative jackals try to kneecap you.
Arthur, however, needs some serious cuddling in his personal life. He'd once read a study that said humans need something like eight "significant touches" a day to be at their peak emotionally. Good emotional health is intrinsic to maximizing productivity. It makes sense. You can't be on top of your professional game until you've got all your personal shit squared away.
Arthur isn't huge on touching though. He's not a casual hugger, or a back clapper, or whatever it is that more touchy-feely types get off on all the time. He's always liked to keep his physical contact confined to the people he actually likes (which, maybe

Household chores, on the other hand, are often ideal cuddle opportunities. Doing the dishes, for example, keeps Eames relatively stationary, making it easy for Arthur to slide up behind him and slip his arms around his waist. Dish washing takes relatively little concentration, but does require a certain amount of personal application to finish, so Eames is unlikely to try to divert the cuddling into more amorous activities since he knows he'd just have to go back to finishing the dishes afterward. If Eames has a tendency to get frisky just after finishing the dishes, well, Arthur doesn't have any personal complaints about that

Oh, I feel like there should be a book named "How to Cuddle Your Arthur." And someone should give it to Eames. Maybe he enjoys seeing Arthur's stealth cuddling--all the plans let him work off extra energy. And Eames is so cuddly, who could resist.
I love this line--A 'sleeping' Arthur cuddles like a limpet and then disclaims all conscious knowledge or control over it in the future, which makes it very difficult for Eames to effectively prevent future recurrences.
Cuddle fic is made of win. I would definitely read more.
