[ Taako's instincts on this one are right; Cisco's initial thought, when Taako suggests some shopping is hell no with a side of come on, nobody needs to see that. But he bites it back, doesn't answer right away. He's not angling for another pep talk about his self-image issues.
And besides, what was it Taako had said last time? That confidence was the key - he just had to act like he was hot, and other people would agree? He's not really sure he believes that, but... it can't hurt to push his boundaries a little, can it? Expand horizons or whatever. What's he got to lose? Well, other than his dignity and the somewhat paltry scraps of self-esteem that he's managed to scrape together in the last five or so years. ]
Maybe.
[ Cisco can feel how hot his face has gotten, but there's a little bit of a thrill there, amidst the embarrassment and uncertainty. ]
On one condition. You gotta agree to consult, and don't bullshit me if something looks terrible.
