A/N this contains allusions to non-con. Nothing graphic. I want you suggestions on fics about Arthur and Eames and Cobb and Ariadne. And reviews for this of course. ^^.

Set Me Free

Three months. That's how long Arthur and Eames have been together. A year and a half that's how long Eames has loved Arthur.

Eames was slowly kissing Arthur in the darkness of their bedroom. Slowly moving his fingers through his lovers hair. Trying to coax Arthur into security, he could feel the tension in Arthur's body. It confused him.

"Arthur, whats wrong?" Eames questioned resting his head on his hand.

"Nothing," it was short and clipped and Eames was sure they'd gotten past the iciness.

"We don't have to do anything if your tired," Eames kisses him goodnight and pulls Arthur to his chest. He can feel Arthur's body relax against his and Eames can't help but feel guilty that Arthur tenses under his touch.

"Cobb, is there something bothering Arthur?" Eames asks while everyone is getting lunch. "Something I did?"

"He didn't mention anything to me. Why? Did you do something?" Cobb turns to him, eyes squinting menacingly.

"No," Eames rushes all to aware that Cobb would not hesitate to throw a punch, Arthur was practically his son. "Well, I'm not entirely sure. He tenses when I touch him. I think I made him mad but he doesn't say anything," Eames confesses.

"He's always been that way," Cobb says nonchalantly. "The only person he let hug him was Mal and that took some time as well. I think he just doesn't like to be touched." Cobb shrugged but Eames could read his face he knew Cobb didn't think it was that simple an explanation.

"humm perhaps," Eames could tell Cobb would talk about it past that.

"Arthur, love, did I do something wrong?" Eames questioned after work. Arthur slipped his had into Eames'

"No," he responded. "Did I? You were really quit today." He held Eames hand tighter.

"No, I was thinking that I had done something wrong and That's why you tensed last night." Eames laughed at himself.

"No it isn't you," Arthur sighed.

"Do you want to share , Darling?" Eames asked "I'm all ears."

"No, it's nothing, I'm just—not ready," Eames could feel him tense again. He didn't respond.

You may very well hate me when we get home but I need to know. Eames thought. He wasn't the best forger just because he had imagination, he could read people and as hard as Arthur tried to be elusive Eames could read him almost as he were screaming in his face.

A/N: review please. Chapter two will be up soon. I always imagine Eames as the quit genius. He came up with the whole inception plan didn't he. I just love him and Tom Hardy is damn sexy! I love Arthur too and I don't really see him as uptight as everyone else does, just focused. JGL! Uhmmm, no words anyway. Drop me a line. ^^
