It isn't until the pause after those words slipped out that it really registers what he said and then there's a skip in his heartbeat as he stays, frozen, leaning against Eddie, waiting for him to react. He doesn't even know what to expect, he just hopes it's not too soon or--

Oh.

Hearing it from Eddie, choked up and emotional in the moment, makes Cisco's heart melt. A wide grin spreads across his face and his hand goes up to cup Eddie's cheek. This is such a raw, open, perfect moment and he doesn't want to break it. Instead he just punctuates it with a soft kiss to Eddie's lips, warm and sweet.
