[The warm weight of Cisco's head against his is reassuring, and Eddie exhales some of the tension. He's still feeling shaky, reeling a little, and part of him thinks it hasn't entirely settled in yet, hasn't registered properly. It doesn't have to, right now. Cisco was honest with him, and he appreciates it, especially after their conversation about not avoiding the hard things, but it's taking a while for his brain to properly go over everything that's been said. To process the staggering level of guilt and responsibility, and also the justifications Cisco had given him.

But Cisco is here and warm and supportive and gently pushing him to keep him from giving up or closing off and shutting down, and so he lets Cisco do it. Lets him take some of the weight off and talk at him about what it will be like when he goes home, how they can handle it - more reassuring than Cisco might think, actually, because plans and strategies seem so concrete to him - and then how they'll be. The things they'll do together, that Cisco will show him. Exhaling a shaky sigh, he gives Cisco a weak smile.]

They know about the doppelgangers? That's definitely helpful. Eddie Kreuger isn't bad but...I could use my mom's maiden name, maybe. Eddie Bradford? Not bad.

[Another exhalation, and he loops his arm around the small of Cisco's back, closes his eyes while he thinks about that. Being back in Central City, being at the CCPD or in S.T.A.R. Labs, going to Jitters and Korean with Cisco, watching Star Trek and playing video games.]

Mm, I'll have to bring you dinner at the Labs when you forget to come home because you're too busy working on things. Maybe you could teach me how to be your lab assistant.

[Opening his eyes, he glances up at Cisco - from this angle he can just see the angle of his jaw, the shape of his lips and nose - and smiles a bit.]
