Eddie sees the effort it costs Cisco not to argue about the compliment, and genuinely appreciates the fact that he didn't reject it. It's nice, to see Cisco accept it, however grudgingly, instead of telling Eddie he's wrong. Maybe, he thinks...maybe if he keeps saying things and Cisco keeps accepting them, sometime in the future, Cisco will actually believe what Eddie is saying to him.

When Cisco's teeth close against his thumb, Eddie feels a flush of heat, and he tries to pull his thoughts back to appropriate places, swallowing a little while Cisco speaks. When Cisco continues, resting their foreheads together, kissing Eddie on the nose, he can't help the soft, nervous laugh.

"Mmm, right? I feel the same way about you. I guess I'm a little nervous about coming out, though. Iris is probably going to be pretty upset."
