It's hard, to let go in front of Cisco, and part of him is afraid it'll be a turn-off, that Cisco will think he's weak and unmasculine for not being okay. For not shrugging it of like it's nothing. As much as he trusts Cisco and his feelings, it's hard to believe that it won't make him less in Cisco's eyes for feeling the way he does.

But in the end, the trust is enough that, when Cisco asks if he wants him to make something to eat for when he gets out, or if there's anything else he needs, Eddie turns to look at him. Meeting his eyes, he swallows hard and licks his lips.

"Come in the shower with me? I don't want to be alone right now..."

His voice is soft, a little hitched, and the shame is obvious in the undertone of how he says it.
