Actually, I think you can if you're playing offline. This works with games like CS(:S) and Half-Life, but I'm not 100% sure it works with non-steam games.

Even if the games already open on steam it would kick me off the game?

If you buy fallout through steam you can't play it offline without some hack. Because of this you may not play it on the same account at the same time. Also it would be a violation of the EULA and therefore illegal if you tried to do this anyways. However it wouldn't kick you if you were playing it just wouldn't allow the other user to play.
