       A dream within a dream,
       A heart within a heart.
       Love grows within dreams.
       What better place to start?
       
       A hand within a hand,
       A meaning within the words.
       Not all can hear it,
       Only
       
       Only...shit. "What rhymes with words?" Eames looked up at Arthur from his notebook, lazily tapping his pencil against the paper.
       Arthur was laying comfortably on the couch across from Eames, his suit jacket draped over the back of the couch and his collar neatly undone. "What kind of question is that?"
       Eames was leaning back in the recliner, his bare feet on the table and his hideous shirt laying in a discarded pile on the floor somewhere. Arthur hadn't opened his eyes to answer him, but he had turned his face towards him. The temptation to cross the room, hold Arthur's face between his hands, and snog the hell out of him was almost irresistible-the keyword being almost.  Cobb was coming back soon, and he still hadn't forgiven Eames for the last time he had walked in on him and Arthur. In Eames defense, he had honestly thought that when Cobb said "make yourself at home", he meant that it was okay to act like he did at the home he and Arthur shared. "A question that I need answered now."
       Arthur lazily opened one eye. "Oh good, you got rid of that awful shirt."
       Eames smirked. "You're only saying that because you enjoy my body."
       "Shut up," Arthur groaned, but he didn't bother hiding his smile. "I'm beginning to think you only wear those ugly things so everyone's relieved when you take them off."
       "Oh, darling, I could care less about what everyone else thinks."
       "No."
       Eames frowned. "I didn't ask for anything."
       "I know how your mind works. Every time you call me darling, you follow it up by trying to sleep with me." Arthur had closed his eyes, settling back into the couch. "So, as I said earlier, no."
       Eames frown faded, and the urge to move to kiss Arthur had come back with a vengeance. "I wasn't going to, but now that you've suggested it…"
       "No, Eames." Arthur rolled onto his side, his back facing Eames.
       "Are you sure?"
       "Of course I'm sure." Arthur spoke into the couch.  
       "You're sending mixed signals right now." Eames smiled, wondering if Arthur was going to catch his drift.
       "Pervert." He rolled over, his head resting on his hands, his face slightly flushed.
       Eames laughed, looking back down at his notebook. "You never told me a word that rhymed with words."
       "I don't want to think of rhyming words."  Arthur's eyes closed again, and his voice began to sound sleep blurred. Eames had always been jealous of just how easily Arthur could drift off.
       "What do you want to think of?" Eames voice was comforting to Arthur. He had always been fond of accents.
       Arthur thought for a minute, before smiling and sinking even further into the couch. "You."
       
       Cobb rapped violently on the door. "Whatever you two are doing, I'm giving you a warning!" He yelled through the plywood. "If it's not pg-13, I don't want to see it!" He waited for a few seconds, but there was no response.  He carefully opened the door, only to be greeted with the sight of Eames and Arthur, asleep on his couch.
       Eames was shirtless-as usual- with his arms wrapped around Arthur's waist. Arthur was still fully clothed, his head tucked under Eames's chin, his hands resting lazily on Eames's shoulders. Cobb huffed angrily. "I swear they get more and more adorable each day."
This is based of FanArt and FanFiction. Sorry if the characters aren't acurately portrayed.

But in all honesty, the first time I saw Inception, I had no idea Eames was in it. I saw /nothing/ of him.

I FUCKING HOPE YOU LIKE IT :iconjotun-king-fangirl: :iconvoodooplz:

I was going to cheat and write this as a poem with vague subjects, so I could pass it off as Eames/Arthur, but I ran into the same problem Eames did. Fuck rhyming words.
