[Cisco could practically feel the sharp snap of realization in the air as the pieces dared to try to fall together in Paco's mind. His gaze on Cisco was intense, but in a different way than it might have been once upon a time. It's not a matter of sizing him up or even intimidation, it's this almost desperate need for a denial, a confirmation that just this once, he's wrong.
But it's a denial Cisco can't give him.
And he can't seem to find his voice, either. It's been a fact he's known for weeks now, but putting words to it, saying it out loud, it always makes it hurt more. Makes it more solid and real.]
Don't make me say it. [His voice has that same small sound to it as before, quieter, barely above a whisper and thick with emotion he's barely holding back now.]
