Arthur/Eames, office/mundane AU - exhibitionism anonymous February 25 2011, 23:01:50 UTC

Eames has a flat next door to an office building, maybe 100 feet away. When he has his blinds open, he can see into an architecture or graphic design office. There is an intriguing, young, quite attractive, well-groomed, suit-sporting employee there whose desk is at the window. Who happens to work late quite often. Alone. And Eames... gets ideas about what he can do in front of his own window.

Would prefer less skeevy and more seduction-at-a-distance-and-in-silence, if filler so desires. Either POV would actually be fine.

This is in no way related to the layout of my own building or a person I see from it. *shifty eyes*

Eames moves into his flat on Sunday ( ... )

Eames is good at his job in the same way he imagines a telemarketer might be good at their job; he has no particular skill, but he doesn’t stop. He had wanted to be a literary sort of writer, once, and had had stories published in his university literary magazine, but he never got further than that and suddenly he found himself to be this weird sort of hack, cranking out romance novels that public libraries threw away after they got to be five years old. So he writes for three hours, is the point, and only stops when his cell phone rings ( ... )

Eames goes to his own desk, and writes until midnight. The man from the architecture firm flips off the light and leaves his office at ten thirty ( ... )

On Friday night Eames doesn’t make dinner until eleven, and right when he puts his grilled cheese sandwich in the pan Yusuf calls him ( ... )

Re: [fill] window born to be broken 5 anonymous March 24 2011, 16:25:31 UTC

Yusuf keeps telling Eames things about Arthur, little things and big things and things he already knows ( ... )

Re: [fill] window born to be broken 6 anonymous March 24 2011, 16:28:41 UTC

Yusuf calls him back when it’s actually morning.

“I thought ‘A Room With a View’ was clever,” he says. “Though ‘He’s Old Enough to Drink Scotch’ is also a valid option.”

“Shut up, Yusuf,” Eames says, but doesn’t bother hanging up because he’s at the bit where the heroine meets the hero’s throbbing member and he hates that bit, every time. Lady caves disgust him in a vague and childish way, and the phrase “throbbing member” disgusts him equally.

“Can you explain the appeal of vaginas to me?” Eames asks Yusuf.

“Ah, is your novel reaching it’s climax?” Yusuf asks, and Eames can hear him making a badum-ching sound by banging on something in the background. “Well, young padawan--”

“Ugh,” Eames cuts him off. “That question was rhetorical. Why do I even talk to you ( ... )

Arthur’s still there when the sun goes down, like he usually is, and after everyone else leaves he takes off his tie and moves over to his drafting table. Not that Eames is watching ( ... )

um...this is the end. I forgot to say that last time.

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] anonymous March 24 2011, 19:16:26 UTC

Oh my god! This was so sweet!

I just want to cuddle this story, the pining was lovely and the ending was lovely and your Eames was lovely.

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] anonymous March 24 2011, 23:17:59 UTC

Thank you.

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] hiddeneyes23 March 24 2011, 19:22:20 UTC

The end? D:

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] anonymous March 24 2011, 23:17:37 UTC

I know...it was just the sort of prompt where I felt comfortable ending after their relationship's (presumed) inception (ha.), and when I got there I didn't feel up to continuing it.

But I hope your disappointment with the ending means you enjoyed the rest!

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] hiddeneyes23 March 25 2011, 09:33:26 UTC

No not disappointment at all! I absolutely adored this. And where you've ended it is perfect.

I just feel the overwhelming urge to read more of whatever else you've written.

(and good one)

Re: [fill] window born to be broken [complete] anonymous April 2 2011, 23:11:02 UTC

OMG I LOVED THIS. So good.

Re: [fill] window born to be broken 7 eleveninches March 24 2011, 20:07:25 UTC

Normally I'd find this prompt kind of creepy (ha!), but I really like what you did here. It's so sweet, and Eames the broken-hearted romance novelist is adorable!
