The fact that they've only been together in person for a few days and Gracie's already learned to read his body language and expressions is impressive to Cisco. He'd be less impressed to note that he's probably learned to read hers just as well, because he can't not look at her. She's beautiful and it's hard not to find himself watching the side of her face instead of a movie they've picked on Netflix or watching her sleep when he can't get quite settled in the middle of the night.
Her arms move to circle his neck and his move around her waist to pull her closer. He loves that he can do this. He loves that she wants to do this. Cisco returns her kiss in kind and smiles into it a little at her sentiment.
When they part, he presses his forehead to hers. "I love that you feel that way about this stuff and it doesn't like freak you out or anything. Because this is...like a big part of who I am." Not as big a part as Team Flash but he isn't allowed to tell her about that. Eventually, he's going to break that rule. Barry's broken that rule too many times already: Iris, Felicity, Joe, Wally; Ray, by extension via Felicity. Cisco just needs to make sure that Gracie is in it for the long haul before he shares that secret and even then, he still won't tell her that Barry is the Flash. That isn't his secret to be sharing.
"You see the empty ones?" he asks, finally stepping back a little and gesturing. "I had a legit flame throwing gun and a for real freeze ray. They got stolen." He pauses and sighs. "I keep meaning to rebuild them and other things keep sort of coming up." Like trips to Earth 2. So not telling Gracie about that or how Killer Frost and Reverb (or, evil Caitlin and evil Cisco) nearly killed him. He has a feeling she wouldn't appreciate that story all that much.
