[Being ashamed of the relationship had never crossed Eddie's mind. It was just a matter of wanting Iris to find out in the kindest way possible, from Eddie himself, rather than accidentally in an off-hand comment. It's a complicated situation, and his guilt is still making it hard to think straight, and he'd phrased it so poorly.

When Cisco lifts his hand and presses a kiss against his palm before resting it back over his heart, where Eddie can feel the reassuring, steady pulse under Cisco's ribcage, he sighs softly. Keeps his face buried against Cisco's hair and presses another kiss there. It's finally starting to feel a little normal again, though he wouldn't be surprised if Cisco stays insecure for a while, if he worries every time Eddie and Iris hang out. He makes a mental note to go out of his way to reassure him without needing to be asked, to make his feelings clear.]

Yeah. I didn't realize how many of your things were around in my apartment until I brought her there, and I guess it didn't help how much I talked about you. [A beat, and then carefully.] So you came out to her, and everything was okay. I knew it. What did she say?

[Another little squeeze around Cisco's shoulders, and then when he asks if Eddie will come over and see him after breakfast, he nods.]

Of course. I'm...probably gonna need to see you anyway. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get through it without tears, for either of us.
