↘ Roll as many times as you like! Play out as many scenarios as you want! Just enjoy the fluffy or angsty goodness.

● 01 I HAVE A CONFESSION | There's someone you really like and it's finally time to tell them! It can be spur of the moment or elaborately planned out.
● 02 START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL | You've just got together and everything is great! You can't stop thinking about each other or keep your hands off your significant other. You want to spend all the time you can together, doing whatever!
● 03 CAN'T GET IT UP | It happens to everyone, honest! For whatever reason, you just haven't been able to perform or maybe you're just not interested in sex. Is it because things are dull? Is it because you're not attracted to your partner? Or have you just been too busy or stressed out?
● 04 SAW YOU LAST NIGHT | You think you saw your partner in the arms of another - was it an honest mistake or is something honestly going on here?
● 05 FIRST TIME | It's the first kiss or the first time making love with your partner and you're so nervous and awkward, you're sure you'll mess it up! Maybe you do, but that's okay... they like you, right?
● 06 ANNIVERSARY | Two week, two month, two year, or whatever number you decide, that's how long you've been together with your partner and you want to do something special to celebrate it!
● 07 WANT YOU BACK | You broke up, but it was a mistake. You need to correct it ASAP... will your lover take you back though?
● 08 JUST MARRIED | Just married! Is it the wedding night? The honeymoon? You decide!
● 09 BAD ROMANCE | You're no good for each other and you know it! Unfortunately, your relationship is so sizzling, you can't break it off and you don't even want to.
● 10 FIGHT | You're both in one of those moods where you just want to sit around fighting over every little thing... bills or money, friends, your partner staying out too late, or whatever you can think of!
● 11 LET'S MAKE UP | Of course making up is the best part though! Whatever it was is totally forgotten now.
● 12 HONEY, I'M... | You've been feeling a little funny for a bit, so you take a pregnancy test and... oh no! Or is it 'oh great!'? Time to tell your partner either way...
● 13 ABOUT LAST NIGHT | Time to face that one night stand...
● 14 CHEATER | You're not being cheated on! You're the other person meddling with someone's lover! But for whatever reason, you just can't say no even if you know you should...
● 15 OBJECTIONS | You're facing a lot of objections to your relationship and it's starting to put a strain on it. Why don't you sit down and discuss it, see if you can work it out?
● 16 HAVE TO LET YOU GO | You have to break up with your partner... not because you want to! But because you need to protect them... can you do it successfully? Will they find out? You decide!

[ Whatever happened last night, Arthur's not said a word about it. In fact, he's not said much of anything to anyone since he entered the warehouse in the early hours after waking up in the wrong hotel room with someone beside him.

Everyone is preparing to go out for lunch, but he's so lost in his work and trying not to think that he barely even notices. ]

[ He waits until the others have vacated the warehouse to move, wrapping Pasiv wire around his palm and elbow as he walks over. Arthur is completely absorbed, and he might be offended if he weren't painfully aware of how the other man gets.

The work comes first, it always has.

But it doesn't stop him moving to lean against the chair in front of Arthur's desk, arms straining when he tilts forward, his free hand curled around the back of it.

He clears his throat pointedly. ]

[ He detects the motion, taking note of the footfalls from several pairs of feet, and the door closing, so he doesn't mean to look up.

But at the sound of throat clearing, Arthur's forehead creases into a frown as he lifts his head, eyes on delay as he focuses on typing the last of what he's working on.

Eames. Of course. He takes a minute, maintaining his composure, and tries to keep his voice steady. ] Is there something you wanted?

Mm.

[ He's used to Arthur's walls, of course he is. Arthur is a complicated mess of misleading steps, smoke and mirrors. Sometimes it makes Eames' taste irony on his tongue. He's often the one accused of being difficult to pin down. But Arthur is much worse. ]

We need to talk.

I'm busy, Eames.

[ It's blunt, dismissive, and he turns back to the computer screen, fingers finding the keys. ]

We're on a tight schedule, so unless it's about the job then it can wait.

[ Calmly. ] You weren't too busy last night.

[ Arthur closes his eyes for a second, jaw clenching, because apparently they're doing this.

He turns, twists his head up to look at him properly. ] Is this the part where you inform me, clearly, that it was a one-off, a mistake that won't happen again? Because if it is, considering the message received.

Ah. Thank you, Arthur, for putting words into my mouth. I do so love it when you do that.

[ It's heavily accentuated sarcasm. ] How did you get to that conclusion, might I ask?

So that's not what you came over here to say? [ He locks their gazes, challenging him, but he's not sure which way - a part of him wants to be wrong, but then being wrong and having Eames know it? Never a fun experience. ] 'Cause I'm all ears.

[ He just stares at Arthur a long moment, a frown of something twisting beneath his eyebrows. ]

If you're trying to bow out, you should try to do it a little more gracefully.

Speak for yourself.

[ He regrets it as soon as the words come out, and he sighs, turning the chair to slide off it, standing up to face him. ]

Fine, we'll talk, but we're getting coffee while we do it.

Lead the way then.

[ Lead the way he does. He grabs his jacket, checks everything is where it should be, and makes sure he's got his wallet and totem, and then he's heading for the exit.

There's a cosy little café around the corner, and he even holds the door as he enters, walking over to the empty table in the corner where they've got a view out the window and at the door. ]

[ Eames doesn't really know what to do with this scenario. Nothing is ever easy with Arthur, and he should have expected it, but maybe he'd thought after last night they'd have had a chance.

Faux cheerful. ]

Oh good, a public place, now you'll have to refrain from throwing your coffee in my face.

[ He raises a lone eyebrow at him across the table, insulted, because really. ]

As much of a relief as it would be to be the one to ruin that colourful shirt of yours, Eames, I wouldn't waste coffee doing it.

[ It's got less bite to it, features softening, and maybe it's the promise of a caffeine fix or the fact that having people around means nothing drastic can afford to happen, but his shoulders visibly lose some of their tension. ]

You don't like the shirt? [ His tone is mock hurt. Arthur did seem to enjoy ripping the last one off him the night before. But judging from the decidedly icy chill coming from the other man a moment before, he highly doubts offering to let him take this one now would go down well. ]

I thought it brought out my eyes.

It blinds your victims before they get the chance to look at your eyes.

[ He's not all that angry, not really, but he's got a throbbing headache, far too many thoughts, and until he gets the coffee he orders from the waitress that's smiling far too cheerfully down at them he's not going to warm up. ]
