[ At Eddie's offer of protection, Cisco closes his eyes, relaxing back against the bed and letting out a long sigh of contentment. He murmurs: ]
My hero.
[ If Cisco were thinking clearer, he would know to say something different. That the words might have some rather unpleasant associations, for Eddie. But right now, it's how he feels. That Eddie is a hero looking out for him, protecting him when he needs it, making sure he's okay. And Cisco's not thinking about what Eddie said as he was dying, or about Eddie being dead at all.
Instead, he's thinking... ]
I wanna make you a suit. [ Cisco looks around the room, wishing he had cloth and needle and thread so he can start right here and now. When he doesn't see any, his eyes land instead on a pad of blank paper and some good pencils. Cisco rolls off the bed to them, lazy and slow, pausing on his way to pick up a giant handful of the candy he'd left himself to snack on. He comes back to the bed and dumps the candy directly onto the blanket, sitting cross-legged and looking over at Eddie, saying: ]
I'm gonna design it. Right now.
[ And without further ado, the pencil starts moving as he is sketching out the basics of a human shape. ]
