Hartley grins, pleased that Cisco is so accepting of his help. There's something really exciting about bringing a pet home for the first time, and Hartley's grateful Cisco's allowing him to be part of that.
"I'm pretty sure dogs would get into everything if they could." But Luckily for Cisco, it isn't as easy for dogs to get into certain areas as it is for rats. "It won't be too hard to make your place dog-friendly. But we should probably get a few things for your dog beforehand too. Toys and such." Some things (like dog food) will obviously have to wait until they know more about the dog Cisco's bringing home, but there's no harm in getting a few simple things beforehand. "Well, you're already coming over to my place after this, right?" To observe Hartley's experiment with the flute. "You can meet them while you're there if you want. I do think meeting them would help."
At this point Hartley probably shouldn't be surprised that Cisco might want to meet his rats, given the way their date has been going, but he can't help it. This date has been full of surprises so far. The kind of surprises that make his skin tingle and the butterflies in his stomach go crazy. It's been so long since the last time he allowed himself to feel something like this for anyone, and it's still weird to him that out of everyone, it's Cisco Ramon he's growing such strong feelings for. But not as weird as the fact that out of everyone, he seems to be the one Cisco wants to be with. They really have come a long way this past year and a half. They've evolved from former colleagues to enemies, from enemies to reluctant allies and from reluctant allies to friends. And now they're becoming something so much more.
Hartley's unable to hide his relief when Cisco suggest they get out of there. He's wanted to kiss Cisco for a while now, and as good as he knows the food is there, it's impossible to give it the attention it deserves when all he wants right now is for them to finally be alone together. Some moments are meant for privacy and this feels like one of them. Besides, it's not like they can't come back to this restaurant at a future date. But right now he just wants to be alone with his new boyfriend.
"I think that's a fantastic idea," he responds quietly, already reaching into his pocket for his wallet. "I live really close by, so we can go back to my place if you'd like?" He knows they were originally going to go for drinks if the date went well (which it has), but he forgot about that just as quickly as he forgot about the food sitting in front of them. The only thing he won't be forgetting any time soon is how much he wants to kiss Cisco.
