[For a moment, Eddie sits and feels sorry for himself, because he has a relationship he loves, a future he looks forward to, a future he'd be willing to bring children into...and the weight of worrying about whether or not having kids is going to unleash one of the worst evils the world has seen. For a moment, he lets the grief about that twist up in his gut, lets himself feel sad and a little bereft, and then he pulls himself together.
He looks at Cisco because this is a happy moment, because Cisco is such a positive force in his life, warm like a ray of sunshine, that he is enough. Enough to pull Eddie back from despair, every time he starts down that path. Cisco nods at him with understanding in his face, says he gets it, calls him baby, says they don't have to decide and that they can find a way to make it work, if they need to.
And then he's talking about things that people with kids are afraid of and Eddie laughs, his eyes still wet, leaning in to kiss Cisco's mouth for a moment, eyes closed.]
Thank you baby. And...and just so you know, so I know you know...you're enough for me too. If we can't figure out how to have kids or you decide you don't want them, I'm okay with that too. You're enough for me, you're all I need.
[Swallowing hard, he watches as Cisco takes his hand, presses it against his chest, he looks at his fingers splayed against Cisco's chest, over his heart, can feel the thump of it through his ribcage, and then looks up at Cisco's face. For a moment, he holds his eyes, feeling choked up - this is an expression of trust on Cisco's part, because Eddie knows what hands on chests means to him, what he associates it with.
For Cisco to place his hand on his chest like that, it shows that he trusts Eddie not to hurt him in a deeply personal, deeply intimate way. Eddie curls his fingers against the solid heat of Cisco's body through the fabric and leans in to kiss him again, eyes closed, brushing his nose against Cisco's, a bit playfully.]
Mmm, I don't know what I did to deserve you, honestly. You're like sunshine, you know that? You keep me warm, you keep me alive, you make everything bright and beautiful.
