Leaning in, Eddie presses his forehead against Cisco's, his hands come up to cradle against the sides and back of Cisco's head, fingers digging through his hair. He feels a little safer, now, and he squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, lets out a shaky laugh when Cisco says she can only punch him a little.]
I deserve more than a little punch. I hurt her really badly.
[He licks his lips, eyes still half-shut as he tries to regain his composure and then Cisco asks him if it's a no on him being okay. For a moment, he's still, his throat tight, and then he speaks quietly.]
I'm not okay. [It's soft, a little ragged, but then he continues.] I'm more okay than before you got here. I need you.
