[ The kiss catches Cisco off-guard; he doesn't respond for a second or two, except to draw in a rather shaky breath. But then he is kissing back for all he's worth, matching Eddie's intensity with his own. It does far more good than the texts, than the spoken reassurances. In Cisco's experience, it's far harder to lie with a kiss than with words. Besides, he reminds himself. Eddie's not a liar. He's not a puzzle that Cisco has to fret over and pick apart; he says what he means, so if he says he chooses Cisco... ]
Okay. Right. Bath.
[ Cisco doesn't want to let go of Eddie, so he clings to his side as they make their way to the bathroom. Which, perhaps he ought to be embarrassed by that, but he isn't. Not after he'd spent half an hour crying his eyes out and thinking it was going to be like Kendra all over again, but much, much worse this time. Maybe it had been foolish, to jump to conclusions. Eddie had told him all those months ago he wasn't thinking of Cisco as just a placeholder. Cisco had believed him. And they'd been through a lot together since then.
But all that had gone out the window the second Eddie said not to tell Iris about them. ]
She's further in the timeline than me. By about a month, I think. So... keep that in mind.
