because the answer to "do you need a hug" is ALWAYS yes

[angelgazing]

There should be a snazzy intro here, but let's face it guys, the point would be this: CUDDLING. Every one needs cuddling. People love cuddling. I love cuddling. I think Arthur probably secretly loves cuddling. And you know Eames is a clingy bastard. Because cuddling is awesome! And everyone should get some cuddles. So, allow me to present:

Allowed [inception, Arthur/Eames, 1/?, nc-17]

[persephone_il]

Arthur wants to hate Eames; wants to very, very badly.

There's something about the man which, to Arthur's sensibilities, should be inherently offensive. How he dresses, how he talks, every single thing about his body language. All of it should set Arthur's teeth on edge.

None of it does.

"So, the mark's illegitimate daughter," Chen says.

"No, that's not it." Eames leans back in his chair. "You're barking up the wrong tree. What you need is something he genuinely want to hide"As opposed to a daughter from his mistress of twenty years," Arthur says, dryly

Which accounts for Chen's muffled gasp when Eames walks behind Arthur and puts a heavy hand on Arthur's shoulder. Except that Eames has been carefully making noise as he walked, and Arthur's nowhere near as tightly wound as he was during that job three years ago.

Also, Eames is bearing coffee, which earns him a reprieve from the lesser crime of broaching Arthur's personal space.

"Yes?" he says, not looking up at Eames as he plunks the cup down next to Arthur's hand.

"You should probably take a break," Eames says, not unkindly. "You've been muttering at the same page for an hour now, and I know you're a quicker reader than that."

Arthur rolls his eyes because yes, he can speed read, thank you very much. "So you tell me where the money's going," the if you're so clever unspoken but nevertheless clearly heard.

Eames grins at him. "Let me take a look." He grabs the file and steals a sip from Arthur's coffee, grimacing as he puts the cup down. "Oh, that's vile. I can never fathom why you drink it

Suddenly, Eames is beside him, as if he's been there all along. "Where's your admirer?" It's incredible how filthy Eames can make that word sound

"What brought it up, then?" Eames rises to stand behind Arthur.

Arthur shudders when Eames noses at the back of his neck. "Just - thinking. You know."

"Mmm." Eames licks over the top of Arthur's spine. His hands close around Arthur's waist. "You think too much."

Arthur drops the spatula. Eames chuckles, approving, until Arthur turns around to face him. Arthur's not sure what expression he's wearing, but it makes Eames back off, fast. "Somebody should," Arthur all but snarls.

Eames blinks. "I thought you weren't trying to start a fight."

Arthur forces himself to take a deep breath. "Sorry. Fuck. That wasn't what I meant."

"What did you mean, then?" Eames isn't standing any closer, but he's not keeping himself away as obviously as he did a moment ago.

"I don't know. Fuck." Arthur rakes a hand through his hair. "Just - I don't know. It's nothing. Forget it."

"I would," and Eames' tone is so fucking patient, "except that every time I tried to get close to you in the last week you tried to bite my head off. That does not seem

Instead, he makes Arthur want to lick his lips.
I love that I am completely unsure as to which boy's lips we're talking about here. <3 This is all just so brilliant darling. This reminds me of Jizzy's domesticverse in that I never want to leave their world. I could re-read this forever.

Fucking, actually, is precisely what doesn't happen

Eames laughs, quiet and fond. Arthur really wants to smile at him so he does

"There's Benson," Eames says one day when they're heading back to their hotel room. "He wants to fuck you," he elaborates at Arthur's questioning look. "You could go for that

Re: Allowed [inception, Arthur/Eames, 8/?, nc-17]

[persephone_il]

"The sad thing is, I would have fucked him," Arthur says later. They're in their hotel room, and Arthur is leaning on Eames, feeling considerably better. Also considerably more drunk, which might have something to do with it. "When I was younger. He looks like he'll treat you right in the morning. Make you coffee, call the ambulance for you, that type."

"I dread to ask." Eames' voice rumbles in his chest. Arthur can feel the vibrations of it under his ears. "But are you talking from experience?"

"Not really," Arthur admits. "Close, though. Oh, fuck, there was my first girlfriend." He raises his voice to a terrible falsetto, mostly because it makes Eames laugh. "Pain can be part of a loving relationship, Arthur, you just have to find the right Domme. Don't you love me, Arthur?"

In a feminine voice much more convincing than anything Arthur might have accomplished, Eames says, "Can't you just let me take care of you?"

Arthur has to flop down on the couch, he's laughing so hard. He looks through his eyelashes at Eames and is suddenly

The thing is, he really wants to do something for Eames for a change, and at first it looks like he's succeeding. Arthur knows for a fact he has good hands, and even drunk he can spot the best places to push. He's learned about anatomy for violent reasons, but it has its pleasurable applications

Re: Allowed [inception, Arthur/Eames, 10/10, nc-17]

[persephone_il]

He'd be perfectly content to leave it at that, but Eames is making a noise into his mouth, he's saying "Let me," in a husky voice, shoving his hand into Arthur's underwear with an urgency that feels almost like lust

Oh god, I am going to be so, so very late to work, but this was so, so worth it. ♥♥♥

Thank you so much!

Well, if it's any consolation, this fic is the reason I won't finish my homework on time. :D Thank you, O gracious hostess of the meme!

Re: Allowed [inception, Arthur/Eames, 10/10, nc-17]

[persephone_il]

Um, thank you? I don't know that I would have called it that - interesting, that is - but then again, I knew what's happening from the start, so. Uh. Thanks. :)

This is utterly, utterly brilliant. Thank you so much for writing and sharing it ♥
