[Eddie smiles at him, his eyes bright and warm, because it means a lot to him that Cisco would consider him that much, that he would take his feelings that seriously. That he would consider dropping everything in the middle of a project to come home and coddle Eddie for feeling lonely. He can't help but feel a rush of happiness, a little thrill, that he means that much to Cisco.
Gently, he keeps pushing back Cisco's hair from his face, fingertips caressing against his cheeks and ear, his earlobe, just enjoying the contact, the feeling of Cisco's warm skin and hair.]
Mmm, I can see how that would be a problem. You're too good, and kind, and you want to spoil him too. It's almost impossible to say no.
[A soft laugh, and he shakes his head, leaning in and kissing against Cisco's mouth. But then, Cisco's smile fades and he glances downward, his voice solemn and quiet and Eddie feels a spike of worry. He listens as Cisco explains what's going through his mind, bites his lower lip and wonders how he can help with it, what he can do to make it better for Cisco. But the truth is, he can't. Not really.]
I'm sorry, babe. I don't mean to have an unfair advantage. I guess...it's just something I do, you know? I learned it.
[For a few moments, he chews on his lower lip, then he speaks, voice quiet.]
Maybe I could teach you, a bit? Some of the basics of reading body language and facial expressions, the stuff I learned in school. It's all behavioural science. Would you like that?
