[There's something reassuring about the way Cisco says he doesn't think it's wrong. It doesn't occur to Eddie that the value placed on self-sufficiency might be a cultural difference - all he knows is that he's always valued a strong sense of self in a partner and felt a little guilty when he was pleased at a partner needing him.

There's no doubt in his mind, though, that Cisco is necessary to him, and when Cisco says it's okay to feel it, he takes a moment to just revel in being pleased that Cisco needs him too. Squeezing Cisco's hand, he glances over at him as he smiles in that particular way that lights his face from the inside, all his joy shining through in that beautiful way Eddie can't get enough of.]

I know it's a lot. But believe me, I want to hear all of them. I really like the stuff going on inside you, even when it's hard or sad, you know? It's part of you, and I really like, you know, learning about you. Knowing you.

[A beat, and he smiles back brightly as they head into the park.]

Soulmate.

[With a little laugh of his own, Eddie leads them into the park, glancing around for a place to sit in the grass, the river winding by lazily.]

What a good day.
