Okay, so, this took long enough. Sorry. I had most of it done, and then just forgot about it. Anyway. Here we are, anon! It may not be entirely what you were asking for, but I hope you like it :)

When they meet in Málaga, it’s the first time Eames has seen Ariadne in three months. It’s the first time he’s seen Arthur in six. The job comes in second-place to company for once, fresh air and beaches and catching up. And under the Spanish sun, Ariadne burns, and Arthur pinks, and Eames tans beautifully, save for a thin little circle around his finger. Ring-shaped. Ariadne raises her eyebrows when she sees it, back at the cottage. “Were you wearing a wedding ring?”

“Hm?” Eames follows her gaze down to his hand. “Oh. I have one, somewhere. But I haven’t worn it in ages.”

“You’re married?” she asks, a disbelieving tilt to her head that Eames can’t even take offense to. He’d be disbelieving, too, if he didn’t know so well the weight of a ring in shaky hands, sliding onto a slender finger ( ... )

We married so young, Eames. Like he settled too soon. Like they never got to experience other people, other lovers, like Eames fucking him into the mattress or making love to his every fiber wasn’t enough, and he was looking for someone else. Forget the spark, the chemistry, the perfect way they moved together. Arthur was looking for some mediocrity to spice things up.

We married so young, Eames, on his return. Like it was a sign. Like there was no one else, so why bother looking. Like Marry me again. And how could Eames not ( ... )

The air clears between them shortly after, the tension dissolving, and the jobs goes off without a hitch thanks in large part to their ability to see things from completely different angles than one another. They go out for drinks, the three of them, and after only a few Ariadne has worked up enough liquid courage to heckle secrets out of them.

Arthur untucks his shirt from his pants and shows off the only ink he’s got, a rustic, antique looking padlock right on the bone of his hip. Eames folds his waistline down until he reveals his third tattoo. A key. Same style as Arthur’s, same spot.

“They match,” Ariadne says, practically cooing. It earns her a glare from Arthur.

“They’re not matching, Ariadne, Jesus. They’re corresponding.” He’s leaning back into Eames’s chest by now, aching to be close like he always does when he’s got a little alcohol in him. Eames thinks, Fuck it, and wraps an arm around Arthur’s belly ( ... )
