Fine, fine. And...you know, I would be into that, if you are.

[A pause, because that's a distraction, and he knows it. It's not the crux of the issue, either, and there's a moment of guilt because Cisco had said a lot of things that Eddie didn't respond to, didn't really acknowledge to himself because he's still feeling fragile. But they linger there - Cisco tells him more than he tells Taako or anyone else, Cisco loves him more than he's ever loved anyone.

When Cisco looks at him and speaks, quietly, tells him that they didn't have anything going on behind his back, that Barry would've told him, that she hadn't cheated, something in Eddie's stomach does unwind a bit. He exhales something like a slightly relieved laugh, shakes his head, and then Cisco is continuing, saying that he's never cheated on anyone, that he's not about to start, and Eddie's shaking his head.]

Hey, hey, I know. I never thought you would cheat on me, Cisco, that's not what I meant...

[But he trails off as Cisco continues on, determined, explaining that his meta powers, his vibes, don't lie. That he saw them in the future, together, in this home on this couch, happy and content. Together.

Eddie's hands are shaking a little as he cups Cisco's cheeks, brushes his thumbs over his cheekbones. Cisco is crying, just a little, he can see it, and then he's leaning in to kiss Eddie, his mouth warm and soft and intent and perfect and it's like Eddie can feel everything Cisco is feeling in it, and he tries to match it. Tries to express through the kiss what he's feeling, the longing, how much he wants and needs Cisco in his life. And when the kiss breaks, he brushes another tear from his cheek and gives him a soft smile.]

I trust you. I just get scared sometimes. I'm so happy right now, and I don't think anyone's ever looked at me the way you do, like you really notice how I'm feeling and care about what's going on with me all the time, no one's thought about me the way you do, like I'm worth so much. I love you so much, and it's not like...I don't think you're going to cheat on me. I'm not worried about you being bad. I'm worried about not being good enough for you. But I trust you, when you say I am. Okay? And I'm gonna try to do my best to believe you.

[ It still makes Cisco's heart skip a beat, every time Eddie says I love you, and this is no exception. He listens to Eddie, and then, without pausing to worry about it, just follows his instincts. He crawls over, settles himself into Eddie's lap, crowding him, wanting to remove as much of the space between the two of their bodies as he can. He kisses Eddie again, intently, a little relentlessly. It isn't passionate, so much as it is determined. And when Cisco pulls away finally, breathing a bit fast, his mouth and nose a touch reddened, he murmurs: ]

Okay. And I'm gonna do my best to make you feel so loved you haven't got any space left for any of that worry. 'Cause... 'cause I just love you to pieces, baby. I love you so much it hurts, sometimes. I mean. When I was stuck under that mistletoe, this afternoon, you know what I did? I talked that poor girl's ear off, about how cute you were, and how lucky I was to be with you, and how I couldn't even believe a person like you was real. I mean - I even made her look at pictures, on my phone! I'm not making this up!

[ Cisco laughs, a little shaky with emotion, and another stray tear falls down his cheek. But he is smiling, now. There are some things that can only be solved with talking - some nuanced and fragile things that require careful conversation. But there are some things which words can't cover. It was good, that the two of them talked this out, so he could reassure Eddie about the mistletoe, about his devotion. But now, he thinks, it's time to put his money where his mouth is. Or, in this case, put his mouth where his mouth is?

He drapes his arms on Eddie's shoulders, pulls him closer for another kiss. This one has a little more heat than the ones that came before it; Cisco nips at Eddie's lower lip, pulling it gently. He breaks away long enough to say: ]

You're the only one I wanna kiss, Eddie. I'm gonna show you how much.
