[Inception100] Lucky charm

Title: Lucky charm
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kiyala
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: Arthur/Eames (vaguely and possibly one-sided, on Eames' part)
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Inception is the wonderful brainchild of Christopher Nolan.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] inception100 for challenge #31: Superstition





“You have no use for a totem,” Arthur says, and it isn’t a question. His dark eyes are fixed on the poker chip Eames is walking back and forth across his knuckles, mesmerised.

Eames hums noncommittally.

“Yet you carry that around with you,” Arthur reaches forward. Eames’ fingers close around the plastic piece possessively.

“It’s a lucky charm,” the forger explains. “Stole it off the table, after a ten-game losing streak. As a souvenir.”

“Why would you keep that?”

Eames simply smiles at him. “I’ve always been fond of things that don’t seem to share the sentiment, haven’t I, Arthur?”

Ow! Would you like a bowl of cream to go with that, Mr Eames?

This is brilliant, I can see Eames and Arthur having a conversation quite like this :)
