So, while I grab another rum and coke, you should explain how emotions are a scientific thing?

Francisco Paco Ramon.

;)

[The next text comes a few minutes later, because he can tell this is something he maybe shouldn't be talking about a bit drunk and over text. But he wants to.]

Life transition...can you still call it that if it was me dying??

Good. Because you're everything I want. Everything I've ever wanted.

i guess i brought that on myself huh?
you already know emotions have a basis in science, baby
i mean look at our powers.

it was you starting a new life
new apartment, new friends
new job, new department
new universe

you sure about that?
even though i eat too many skittles
and text you too many memes
and middle name you
and make body snatching jokes when i ought to be serious?

Okay, you have a point there. But I think there are certain parts of emotions that are undefinable by science. The physical responses and how they affect our bodies, sure, that's science. When I look at you and my heart speeds up and I can't help but smile, that's science. Hormones affecting the body.

But knowing that I'd do anything for you, that I'd step in front of a bullet to keep it from hitting you, that's not hormones. It's something else. More like magic.

I know that sounds dumb.

I love you even when you eat too many skittles. You never text me too many memes, I love all of them. You're the only person who can get away with middle naming me.

And I love your sense of humor. It's attractive.

dumb, no. cheesy, a little.
but i love your cheese

(and you better not be planning on jumping in front of any bullets
you've gotten shot like ten times and i never have
it's totally my turn dude)

well now you're just making me blush, detective thawne

Well, that's a relief, because being cheesy is part of who I am. ;)

(It will never be your turn to take a bullet. If there's a bullet and you, I will step between it every time.)

Pics or it didn't happen.

🧀 ❤️ 🧀 ❤️ 🧀 ❤️ 🧀 ❤️ 🧀 ❤️

not if i step in front of you first

[ Is he joking? Or is he serious? Perhaps both. Cisco snaps a quick selfie - he's wearing a hoodie, and his hair is damp from a shower. His cheeks are, in fact, a tiny bit flushed - more from happiness at the conversation than embarrassment at the praise. ]

That is never, never going to happen, babe.

[When Cisco sends the selfie, he stares at it for a long while, just admiring the way Cisco looks, his soft smile and the way his skin is warm and slightly pink, admiring his dark eyes and the slight dampness of his hair.]

God you're gorgeous. Remind me again how you exist without collapsing the universe?

how about neither of us get shot?
i like that option best

what can i say?
science doesn't have an explanation for it yet!

fair's fair
you send me one, too
yes, before you say it, unflattering bar lighting and all

Good call there.

And here I thought you could make anything into science. ;)

Oh man. It's gonna be bad. But.

[A moment later, Cisco will receive a selfie of Eddie in the bar, his hair a bit messy, a bright smile on his face, backlit by bright fluorescents.]

i said 'yet'!
that's the great thing about science
it's never done!

you look gorgeous
how'd i ever end up with such a gorgeous man?

Very smooth, Mr. Ramon.

You know, I think the same thing every time I see one of your selfies. Except it's me thinking 'how did I end up with such a gorgeous man?'

Because you are drop dead gorgeous sexy hot perfect.

[ Cisco really doesn't even know what to say to that (it's so much praise - too much, even if Eddie is a little buzzed) so he sends another selfie, this one of him blowing a kiss towards the camera. ]

[And Eddie saves that to his phone. Sets it as his wallpaper.]

Thanks. Love you babe.
