[Inception100] Lies

Title: Lies
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kiyala
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Inception is the wonderful brainchild of Christopher Nolan.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] inception100 for challenge #30: trust





One is a professional liar and one can kill without even blinking. The wearer of masks and the bringer of death; formidable when they’re back to back. Potentially catastrophic if turned against each other. They’re both entirely aware of this, one eye on their target, one eye on each other.

Arthur says he gets off on efficiency; Eames admits he gets off on danger. They do their job, they fall into bed with each other, and it’s how things work.

“Do you trust me, Arthur?” Eames asks in the dark, one night.

“No.”

“Good. Neither.”

They both know they’re lying.
