[ Cisco can't help thinking but not more than Iris. She and Eddie had lived together for months and months. As far as he knows, they'd shared the same bed every night. And that's something Cisco has never had, not with anybody. His longest relationships had been a few months, in college, in separate dorm buildings. Not anything real, the way Eddie and Iris were real.
But all of that is too complex and too emotionally fraught to voice right now, so he just sighs and smushes his cheek against Eddie's chest, trying not to make it into something he worries about. ]
Even with the nightmares?
[ Eddie had handled them really well, for that space of time after he got his memories back, when Cisco was a total mess, and could barely go a few hours without waking up in a cold sweat, or else with his throat aching from screaming in his sleep. Eddie had held him and soothed him back to sleep. But that had been a temporary agreement. A favor Eddie performed for him. Cisco doesn't think it's the same, looking forward into the uncertain future. He's not having as many nightmares, now. But he still gets them once in a while, and he isn't sure that's ever gonna change. ]
You're very warm. Anyone ever told you that? You're like... a space heater. A huggable one.
