Summary: They’ve infiltrated people’s minds, stolen and lied and cheated, broken laws and rules and commandments. Arthur has killed people with that glock of his, when they were desperate enough. Eames has forgiven the blood on his hands and Arthur the blood on his and he’s always told himself that, no matter what was blown at them by the winds of chance, he’d have Arthur’s back.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Author's Note: Fill for this prompt from the kink meme: "Eames starts to notice that he and Arthur's sex life always gets more passionate after a trip to Cobb's, and worries that Arthur has unrequited feelings for Cobb. That all changes when Eames sees Arthur interacting with the kids and realizes it's James, not Cobb, that interests Arthur. After Eames confronts him Arthur admits he's attracted to younger boys, but swears he never touches them. Eames wants to make sure it stays that way, so he offers to forge to Arthur's tastes in dreams."
