Arthur/Eames

[anonymous]

Eames looks at him, his gaze inscrutable. After a long moment, he pushes himself away from the wall, flicks his still-burning cigarette to the ground and says a quick, 'fuck you, darling' as he brushes past Arthur.

Sorry, this is a really brief fill and even so, it has taken all this time for me to get my act together and finish it. I wish I could have done better :(

“Arthur.”

Smoke curls from parted lips, intentionally decadent. Arthur shifts against the brick alleyway wall, rough masonry digging into his scapulae. Everything smells, unsurprisingly, of piss and sick, alcohol and refuse. Possibly even semen, for there is a tied-off condom next to the overflowing trash bins.

“If we end this, that’s it. No take backs, no second chances,” Eames is saying, voice throaty from the cigarette, rasping around the vowels. “It’s not the way I work. I’ll walk away and not look back.”

His eyes are hooded and lazily speculative, as if he doesn’t quite believe that Arthur is being serious.

Arthur breathes in second-hand smoke and ingrained filth, shifting his too-dry mouth into a smile, brittle and cruel and vicious.

“Believe me - that’s exactly what I want you to do
