[ For all that Cisco knows he's got game when it comes to planning dates, and for all that he thinks he knows Harry pretty well, it is nearly impossible to put together an actual date that he thinks Harry stands a chance of enjoying. The fact that he has to stay somewhat incognito doesn't help. It also doesn't help that, even if he didn't need to, he seems to have fallen into some distinctly hermitish habits. Part of that might be missing Jesse, but Cisco thinks he's also just never learned to enjoy himself. Sure, he'd been busy being a CEO and a single dad and a world-renowned genius. But he's still a human being, and human beings need fun. Maybe not as much as oxygen or water, but still.
Cisco's never been one to balk at a challenge, though. So he tells Harry that they are going on a date that weekend, and no, it's not optional. His itinerary for the day is meant to optimize the whole thing - mostly, in part, by making it possible for them to avoid other people. Restaurants are unpredictable, so Cisco prepares a picnic. A science museum with an emphasis on physics would probably be more interesting to Harry, but there's also a much greater chance that the two of them would get into an argument about something or other, there. So he picks a natural history museum. Still interesting, but (hopefully) less controversial.
It's not an auspicious start when, on the morning of their date, he wakes up to see that Harry has already left and gone in to S.T.A.R. Labs. Cisco had meant for them to leave together from the apartment. But he is undeterred, and a half an hour later he opens the door to the workshop, a picnic basket slung over one arm, an outfit that is at least a little nicer than his usual, and a look of grim determination. ]
Don't pretend you forgot, 'cause I know for a fact you didn't.
