No Way Back - New Friends [For Artfulforger]

[bamf_pointman]

It had been a few days since his conversation with Peter and the resulting conversation with Eames regarding a visit from their new werewolf friend.

To be honest, there was a part of him that was looking forward to this meeting and yet, at the same time, there was a part of him that was reserved about it and truly didn't know what to expect.

The latter feeling was one he was all too familiar with. Considering his job, it was probably to be expected.

Whatever happened, it was sure to be entertaining.

One thing that came out of it though were the bestiaries that Peter had sent to him. Arthur had taken the time to merge them together into one and start the beginning of his own with what Eames and he had come across. Including the journals of Ellen Rimbauer and Joyce Reardon.

That house was forever going to be engrained into their lives. The only good thing that came out of it? Eames.

Arthur turned the desk chair around to face the forger and watched him for a moment. "Do you want to go out to dinner tonight?"

They had been out, of course. Done things together.

But he liked being able to call it a date with Eames.

It wasn't just work anymore. It wasn't running for their lives from both the mortal and now the supernatural sort. It was going out for drinks, dinner -- whatever else they decided to do that day as a couple.

He liked that.

Arthur returned his kiss with a hum before taking Eames' arm. He couldn't help the pleased smile that curled on his mouth knowing they were actually going to go out tonight. It wasn't the first time by any means but to know that they could have this in their upturned life felt... almost normal. Sure they had a werewolf joining them in a few days and sure they have now run into ghosts and a crazy homicidal gypsy but they actually were able to do this without someone selling them out.

Which, could still happen but still. It was less likely than if they were on some job one of them were working.

"We can do this," he said, his voice soft and gentle as the kiss barely broke. Liking the feel of his lips against Arthur's, of the hum of the things they shared. "Yeah, we have this life now but we can have us. We can have what we never admitted we wanted before. I'm not letting that house take that from us. The house gave us this, and I won't let that go."

Without the house, who knew if they ever would have admitted how they felt. He wasn't giving that up for anything. Even the insanity the house sent for them.
