[ Cisco feels the change immediately and worries that he's gone too far, that Harry is about to tease him for being cheesy, and probably he would have it coming. But the sound of that laugh isn't right, for that. It's too brittle, too quiet. And then Harry is talking, and Cisco understands. He'd stumbled on a landmine without realizing it. ]
Oh.
[ Based on his own experience, Harry is going to have a lot more moments like this. Reminders cropping up where he least expected them, memories that seemed settled before coming back and looking entirely different, in the light of new knowledge.
So he isn't sure if it's Harry being angry at himself, or angry at Jay, or ashamed of himself for his choices, or ashamed of himself for not seeing through the deception. It doesn't much matter. The end result is the same, and so is Cisco's next course of action. He takes Harry's face between his hands, waits until Harry is looking at him before he says. ]
Well, turns out you're pretty damn handsome when you're happy.
[ He doesn't know what else to say. He isn't going to tell Harry that it wasn't a big deal, that he'd worked against them, done the things he'd done. But if Cisco isn't going to minimize that betrayal, he isn't going to linger on it, either. What's done was done. ]
