“Er…. wait, really? … Are you serious or is that a bad joke?" 

“Hm, I suppose that’s true. Of course, it does depend if the person you’re with is willing to reveal all of themselves or not…” Antonio commented with an afterthought. But then, he wasn’t pretty good at relationships. Generally, he was pretty horrible at it. 

“No, no, Eames, it’s fine, I … I just … it’s just … it’s something that Natasha once said to me, when she was revealing the truth about herself and what she really thought of me. It stung… I just don’t like to be reminded of it, I suppose, but you couldn’t know that, so, really, no harm done." 

"Touché. Sometimes you just have to accept what bits people have given you and hope that you can do the same with whatever else they do decide t'share.” Eames knew that Antonio would most likely accept the other bits of him should he decide to share but it was easier to pretend he wasn’t a criminal, wasn’t the man who would steal and turn on someone if given the chance. Relationships weren’t something he found himself in. One night stands were easier, less mess, less chance of something going wrong. Somehow all of that went out the window with Antonio.

“I may not have known it but still was an insensitive git about it all. And trust me, I’d rather not remind you of anything bad.” There was enough shit in the world without having to dredge up something from his past and make him feel even worse. Now that he knew, Eames would make a point of not brining it up again.
