[When Cisco asks if it's too cold, Eddie shakes his head, makes a soft 'mm-mm' in his throat, continuing to scoop water over Cisco's shoulders and chest.]
It's fine. Nowhere near cold enough for me to catch a cold. It's just that you usually expect baths to be hot, you know?
[A little laugh, and he leans in to kiss the crown of Cisco's head. His boyfriend's skin is almost painfully hot against him, and he sighs softly, continuing to scoop water over it, trying to bring his temperature down. It's obvious when Cisco settles, relaxes against him and closes his eyes. Gently, Eddie drapes an arm around his shoulders, holding him close, reaches out idly to pick up a face cloth, which he dips in the cool water and squeezes out, starts to pat against Cisco's overwarm face.]
I bet. Probably gets a little disorienting.
[For a while, Eddie is just quiet, continuing to tend to Cisco, cleaning and cooling his face with the cloth, scooping water over him, pulling his hair back from his temples.]
Do you think it's the fever making you vibe so much?
[A soft hum, and then.]
Let me know when you're feeling cooled down, just before you start feeling cold, then we can get you dressed and in bed. I'll make you some tea with honey in it.
