Ex watches as Arthur leans in a bit closer to Eames. It was nice to see them show affection with each other. Ex can honestly say it was only since they were reunited that he felt comfortable with that level of affection. He'd bought his brother electronics to make up for the fact that he wasn't there.
With Mere, it was different. He could show how much he cared and wanted to have his hand in his and feel that warmth spread through him. And not just because he ran colder than normal.
He glances at Mere when his hand covers his and exhales a tiny breath, shoulders relaxing a touch.
Arthur snorts when Eames mentions it's harder for him. "He's a flirt," he says dryly but with a teasing fond look at his partner. "There were times at first when I wasn't as confident or solid in our relationship that it bothered me and made it harder but these days, not as much. We know the roles we must play on a job and know that at the end of the day, we're coming back to each other. And when we do have that time off, we have a hard time keeping our hands to ourselves."
