Cisco was a little worried, it was almost eight; they were going to be late for dinner. He hoped nothing had happened to upset Harry in some way. They had had a hard day today keeping the Metas in check, a mall had almost been destroyed.
Cisco wandered the twisting halls until he reached Harry and Jesse's shared room. The door was open so he slipped inside. His heart broke immediately as he spotted his partner. The older man was sitting on the edge of his bed, fully dressed for a night out, with his face in his hands.
"Harry, you alright?" Cisco asked frantically as he rushed over to sit next to him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.
"We're idiots, Ramon! We can't do this!"
"Do what?"
"I can't go to dinner with you! I'm terrified of being discovered despite all rational thought and logic! Plus, just how long do you think we can keep the face of a murderer hidden under a cap while we're eating?! Someone's bound to recognize me." Harry snarled and lashed out with a kick, foot slamming into his nightstand. Cisco smiled sadly and snuggled into his side to comfort him. It was as Harry finally started to relax that Cisco was struck with inspiration.
He squeezed his boyfriend one more time before jumping to his feet, grinning. Harry blinked rapidly up at him. Cisco hummed and looked him over. The older scientist was dressed in a Navy blue button up, black slacks, and his hair was combed. The man looked amazing, the nicest he had ever seen him. He had obviously been looking forward to this dinner date.
"Harry, wait here!" Confused blinks came from the older man at the command, "change into something more comfortable. I'll be back in twenty minutes!" With that, the young man ran from the room, a grin on his face as he left a very confused Harrison behind.
Though, true to his words, the young man was back in exactly twenty minutes. He came strolling into the room, triumphantly holding a laptop above his head with two drinks balanced atop of it. He was smiling widely around a takeout bag from Big Belly Burger hanging from his teeth. Harrison's eyebrows rose at the sight, chuckling softly and shaking his head.
Cisco laid the laptop down on the bed as Harry snatched the bag of food. The wide grin refused to leave cisco's face as he set up the laptop while Harry distributed the food. The older man's gaze shifted to the laptop and he scoffed, grinning at a snickering Cisco.
"The Godfather, seriously, Ramon?"
"What?! It's a great date movie!" Harry could not fight the chuckle escaping him as he playfully elbowed Cisco while stealing a fry as the young man burst out laughing. Harry kissed his partner's hair as Cisco snuggled into his side, which was quickly becoming the young man's favorite place to be.
Whoever said you needed to go to a fancy restaurant to have a good first date?
