Oddly enough, Cisco's lack of experience with same sex relationships and the possibility that he'll realize kissing (and dating, and sleeping with) other men isn't quite his thing after all isn't his biggest concern at the moment (Cisco appears to be enjoying their kiss, so it's not much of a concern at all). It's their history that still gives him pause. Despite their very successful date and their undeniable chemistry, there's still part of Hartley that worries that Cisco will remember that he's kissing his former rival/enemy and finally come to his senses. But the logical part of him knows that if their past was really going to be an issue, they probably never would have reached this point to begin with, so that fear is disappearing by the second. Which is fortunate, because he's really enjoying this.
It doesn't occur to Hartley until Cisco presses their bodies closer together that there are probably much more comfortable places they could be making out than the floor. His couch (he's trying not to get too far ahead of himself, so he's purposely avoiding thinking about the very comfortable bed in his room) is literally right there in front of them. But that means breaking the kiss and moving, which doesn't seem all that appealing at the moment. Especially since Cisco doesn't seem any more inclined to put an end to this than Hartley is. So that thought falls away to the back of his mind for the time being and he focuses on how good it feels to have Cisco so close. It's been such a long time since he's allowed himself to be intimate with another person like this. Even the simple touch of Cisco's hand against the back of his head makes him feel like his heart is going to pound out of his chest.
But they both need to breathe, so the kissing does end eventually, though the pleasant tingling and the rush of warmth spreading through him are still there. Hartley's heart is still racing in his chest as he tears his gaze away from Cisco's lips to meet his eyes. "Thank you," he murmurs, a warm smile playing at the corner of his lips. "You're a really good kisser too. That was..." Indescribable, really. He isn't sure how to put what he's feeling right now to words.
"Was that okay?" he finally asks instead. "It wasn't too much, was it?"
[ooc: I'm enjoying this thread too! And I love having the chance to explore the relationship between these two. <3 Btw, are you having problems with notifs too? My notifs have been coming really late and some haven't come at all yet.]
