"Good," Hartley murmurs, letting the few worries that remained fade away as Cisco lets him know just how okay he is with what they were doing. Cisco's hands feels so good against skin and the way he lightly tugs at the hair at the back of his neck makes it really hard not to pull him into another kiss. Hartley can't remember the last time anyone has been able to make him feel this way. It's exciting and scary and breathtaking in a way that makes him want to hold onto those feelings for as long as possible, in a way that makes him want to hold onto Cisco for as long as possible. If someone had told him a few years ago that Cisco Ramon, of all people, would make him feel this way someday, he would have thought they were crazy. Yet here he is. Here they are, boyfriends.
He leans in, giving Cisco another soft (but this time brief) kiss on the lips. "I haven't kissed anyone in... a depressingly long time, but I enjoy kissing you," Hartley says, letting his hand fall from Cisco's hair to take link their fingers together as he slowly gets up and pulls him over to the couch with him. If there's going to be more kissing, and he hopes there will be, it should happen somewhere more comfortable than the floor where they're surrounded by... Well, no, the rats appear to have lost interest in them at some point and are now doing their own thing in various areas of the apartment (Hamelin's napping peacefully in his cage while Galileo grooms him and the other two are playing with their toys). Oh well, the couch is still much more comfortable than the floor.
"I'm not ready to stop either," he confesses, sliding his fingers into Cisco's hair again. "I just wanted to make sure none of this is too... weird for you." What with Hartley being a man and his former enemy and all. But to Hartley's relief, none of that appears to be an issue at all. Though he supposes if it were going to be an issue, that issue would have arisen before Cisco expressed a desire to be in a relationship with him. "And I don't want you to feel rushed into anything you might not be ready for." Which isn't to say Hartley doesn't want to do more, because he absolutely does and it's probably obvious. But he's perfectly content to move at Cisco's pace and he wants Cisco to know that.
[ooc: Thank you for tagging me that first time. I don't get the chance to play with Ciscos often and yours is amazing! And no worries about slow tags! It was a bit overwhelming when tags started flooding in, plus my kids start school soon so I've been a little slow myself anyway. But I'm almost all caught up on tags and things should be calmer after tomorrow's orientation. I should be back to tagging normally soon.]
