Oh, I loved this. Really excellent Arthur voice, and your Eames was deliciously charming. ♥

Thank you! ♥

dsfkgjhldfg I'm so glad you think so. <3

THIS IS AMAZING.

I especially love the two parallel comments of "Did we become friends when I wasn't looking?" and "Did we start dating when I wasn't looking?" Absolutely brilliant. Also, the comparison of the normal and not-normal things Arthur has at the beginning, and again at the end. (And that "a relationship with Mr. Eames" goes under the "not-normal" category. XD)

[balphas]

Thank you so much! (Hee, I'm sure Arthur likes it better abnormal. If it was normal, he might get bored with it. ;_;)

[celestineangel]

(Very, very true. There's a reason he's drawn to Eames, after all. XD)

BOOKMARKED LIKE A GODDAMN MOFO.

Bits I read outloud:

...horrible, horrible pizza crime.

"Did we become friends while I wasn't looking?"

"...his merry band."

"Something like that."

<33

[balphas]

Aww, thank you! ♥

AHHHH I LOVE IT <3

Arthur is so adorable handling Eames. I also loved this par

He stops. Looks up at Eames incredulously.

"Did we start dating while I wasn't looking?"

"Something like that." Eames chuckles, pours him another generous glass of wine. "For such an intelligent man, you can be unbelievably thick. I could be wrong, but I am one-hundred percent sure that civilian life has taken your brain and poured molasses on it."

Arthur stares at him. "You've been planning this from the start, haven't you?"

Eames is so devilish >3

He's such a cad. ♥ Thank you so much!
