Arthur and Eames

[artfulforger]

Arthur and Eames have been partners for longer than they've been with the organization. Both started out as criminals in two different fields, but the word of dream sharing brought them together. Arthur, a brilliant tactician, and Eames, a forger in every sense and meaning of the word, started out almost adversarial. One crisp and sharp with a military precision and the other messy and wild and dangerous in other ways they found it interesting to work with one another, to say the least.

In the end though they learned that friction between them was all about attraction and once they opened up to one another, the world for them changed.

Now they've walked away from dream share to work for an organization that keeps America safe, protects its people, and lets them do what they do best. Subvert criminals by twisting the law.

Everyone knows they're not just partners in the work sense but in every sense. In love. Devoted to one another. Able to read the other without a word, Barely with even a look. They're not as tightly wound as some in the Ravens, and certainly cause a lot of trouble in different ways, but they're good at what they do... and they're feared by those that know the truth of who and what they are.

[ Of course he can't and Arthur isn't the least bit surprised. ]

They're not mutually exclusive. Of course I'm going to spoil you. I also made an appointment for you with another designer. I know how much you enjoy your brighter suits.

Not to mention exclusive access to the Louvre for an hour.

[artfulforger]

Not the same tailor, huh? So no trying to make me adhere?

... Now you're just cheating, Darling. When do we leave?

[bamf_pointman]

It's not spoiling you if it's making you adhere, is it? No matter how good you look in that gray suit you have.

Tomorrow morning. Means we tie up everything today.

[artfulforger]

It's practically silver. I can live with that.

I can manage that. Is the Louvre business or pleasure?

[bamf_pointman]

There is that blue suit that you have that looks good too...

Hm, depends on how you want to swing it.

[artfulforger]

A question, Darling.

What suit am I not sexy in?

Now you really are pampering me, aren't you? Could be a fun time.

[bamf_pointman]

Do you really want me to answer that?

[ Although he says it, he's coming up empty because although Eames' preferred style isn't Arthur's... it works on Eames and he has the confidence to pull it off. ]

It's only fair. You pampered me last time.

[artfulforger]

Yes. Because you can't name one that I'm not sexy in because I am sexier than you can handle.

I'll pamper you this time as well. Especially if I make the right score in the Louvre.

[bamf_pointman]

If the last decade says anything, I can handle you perfectly well.

You always do. As if there's a shred of doubt of you making the right score.

[artfulforger]

Oh I think you need to show me again. I'd like to see you handling me.

You're so good to me. I'm having a look now at what's on display.

[bamf_pointman]

We will have plenty of time for me to show you. However you want.

I know. Any ideas?

[artfulforger]

Oh just you wait, Love. So many ideas.

Actually? The Lacemaker by Vemeer.

[bamf_pointman]

I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Eames.

[ At one point, in the early days of their partnership, no doubt he said it in a condescending way. Now? After how their relationship changed, grew and only became stronger, it was fond. ]

That's a great choice.

[artfulforger]

As you should. I'm amazing.

It's a beautiful piece and I haven't done one of his in a while. Getting things out now to work on it.

[bamf_pointman]

And humble.

How much time do you need to complete it? I’m tying up a few loose ends and will head back when I’m done. Let me know if you need anything.

[artfulforger]

Handsome too.

I'm picking up some supplies in about an hour. After that? I could be done by next week? Beginning of? I have some canvasses left to repurpose, and the paints I'm getting are revitalized older paints so just have to have the right ones.

[bamf_pointman]

How could I forget the most important quality of all?

Perfect. I'll schedule the hour for after it's complete.

[artfulforger]

You were blinded by my sexiness, I know.

You are a delight, Darling. I may need you for a distraction though.

[bamf_pointman]

Yes, exactly that.

We've done this enough times that I already planned on it.

I would like to not get kicked out of Paris though so let's try not to burn any literal bridges.

[artfulforger]

I promise you that not only will you not get kicked out of Paris, but also you'll have a lovely new piece of art.

[bamf_pointman]

Good because I like my designer.

And I will never turn down new art. You know that.

[artfulforger]

I know. It's the best gift for us both. Art for you. Knowing how well I do my best. Win win for us both.

[bamf_pointman]

[ The job they'd been on had been difficult and hadn't left them with much time to do the things they enjoyed the most. He knew painting and forging art was Eames' way to decompress and destress after jobs like this. And if he received new art in the process? At least until they managed to sell it? All the better. ]

I'm picking up dinner on my way back. Thai or Mediterranean?

[artfulforger]

[ Things had almost gone tits up, and here was Arthur trying to make things better for Eames... and he saw that. He knew how good he had it, but these moments reminded him even more. ]

Mediterranean. I'm going to take a shower. Don't be long, okay?

[bamf_pointman]

I'll be back soon, love.
