Freaky Watermelon Videos

I hate reading textbooks, so instead I finally wrote a companion piece with Cobb's reaction. =)

Enjoy.


Cobb should have known better.

He should have realized when both Arthur and Eames approached him that they were up to no good. They didn't get along; period. Nevertheless, there they were, grinning at him as he followed them reluctantly to Eames' laptop.

"You must see this, Cobb-" Arthur said.

"It's outstandingly hilarious; we've been waiting all week to show you." Eames added as he took a seat and pulled up the screen.

"What are you guys looking at?"

All three turned to see Ariadne make her way over.

"I don't know yet, but apparently it's funny," Cobb told her in a bland tone as she stood by him.

Arthur and Eames glanced at each other, both wondering the same thing: should they show Ariadne too? One evil grin from Eames and a light smirk from Arthur answered their own question.

"I will warn you darling," Eames still holding his evil grin said, "it's not for the faint of heart."

"In that case, bring it on." Ariadne grinned.

"Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like this?" Cobb asked with a raised brow.

The only reply he got was Arthur smirking in a most uncharacteristic way. He knew then he should have run for it. However, he stayed and waiting as Eames clicked into what he was planning to show them.

The video lasted for one whole minute.

Once it was over, Eames and Arthur grinned madly at the face Cobb was making. It was one of utter disgust and mild confusion.

"Did I really just witness what I think I witnessed?" Cobb asked, finally finding his voice. "Why would anyone do that with a... a watermelon?"

"I know it's disturbing but we had to share," Arthur said.

"How am I supposed to look at watermelon now? That's just- just-"

"Eh, I've seen worse." Ariadne replied as if she was bored and just watched a home video of a person counting to one hundred.

"Worse?" Cobb, Arthur, and Eames all said in unison.

"I'm a college graduate; watermelon porn's on the list of 'things to scar freshmen with'. Trust me, I've seen it all." She gave a light laugh.

"So, this doesn't disturb you in the least bit?" Arthur asked, still disbelieving what she just said.

"Nah. It's like any other porn. Sure it's a little freaky but then again everyone has their own little fetishes."

"You talk as if you have personal experience." Eames said.

"Who knows," she gave a coy grin, "maybe I do."

"Well I know I won't be able to look at watermelons the same... ever. Thanks for ruining it for me," Cobb grumbled.

"Our pleasure," Eames grinned.

"Well I've got other things to do, so if that's all there is to it, I'm out of here," Ariadne said and gave a wave as she walked off.

Cobb, Arthur, and Eames all watched her leave and only spoke when they were certain she was out of earshot.

"I don't know about you lot, but I think I just fell in love," Eames stated, still staring off at where she rounded the corner.

Cobb and Arthur rolled their eyes.

"You two get back to work," Cobb said, trying to shake off the image from the video. "And no more freaky videos."

Arthur nodded and went back to his books. Eames gave a half salute.

"Aye Aye, Captain- hey!" Eames yelped when Cobb smacked him in the back of the head.

"That was for that video." Cobb smirked.

Eames grumbled and stuck his tongue out, huffing and going back to his research. Cobb left the room and spent the rest of the afternoon with horrifying visions of watermelon floating in his head.


Oh if they only knew Eames meant it XD And I couldn't resist the Gibbs slap. Cobb just has the Gibbs vibe to him :P

I hope this gave some laughs!

Thanks for reading.
