Cisco laughs breathlessly when Hartley speaks, their lips still close from their last kiss, hands on each other's shoulders and faces, knees so close they're bumped up against each other. Cisco shifts back just a little bit so he can get a better look at Hartley's face, taking in the slight flush on Hartley's cheeks, his shiny, kiss swollen lips and his beautiful blue eyes, dark behind the lenses of his glasses. He tries to reconcile their first meeting with this moment, the differences in the way Hartley's looking at him now; the day they met Hartley had looked at Cisco like a bug he looked forward to squashing, like he couldn't wait to point out every flaw, but now Hartley's expression is open and heated, fond and warm, full of admiration and desire.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist," he apologizes, dropping his hand to Hartley's knee, tracing little patterns with his fingertips over Hartley's trousers. He watches his fingers move for a moment before he raises his eyes to Hartley's again, and it's almost like the angry, bitter version of Hartley that Cisco met at STAR Labs years ago was a hallucination, because he can't see that person at all, here in front of him now. All he sees is a guy he really, really likes, someone he wants to spend a lot of time getting to know, wants to build a future with. He sees his boyfriend, his first, and it feels so right he could burst.
"Forgive me?" he asks, his tone soft and sheepish as he trails his fingers a little higher, touching the center of Hartley's thigh.
[ooc: Do you? I had no idea! I honestly can never tell who plays who in these things, hehe. I have a journal for barry, but I've never actually played him. I'm glad you're getting your sleeping schedule back in order! I, on the other hand, made a mess of mine the end of last week, and then I had friends in town this weekend (I took them to a bunch of local breweries) and I didn't have as much downtime as I'd hoped (so I was only tagging short things here and there, mostly from my phone). But I should be around more now that the week is started up again. Sorry for the big delay! I hope you had a nice weekend!]

Date: 2016-08-22 06:27 am (UTC)"I guarantee my past self would think I'd lost my mind," Cisco replies with a lopsided smile. "And he'd be partially right," he goes on, licking over his lower lip, stroking his hand down the length of Hartley's arm, catching his hand and squeezing it. "Because I'm crazy about you," he finishes with a grin, fully aware how terrible the line is even as he says it. But the thing is, as cheesy and cliché as it is, Cisco means every word.
