"I forgot about the pants thing. Okay, that is my bad." Cisco stayed where he was, against Hartley's chest, knowing that he was definitely getting the talk and this was not going to end well. And hell, he got it, he did. He just hated it. "I didn't mean it seriously. I wouldn't actually do it. I was joking." God, he made one really stupid joke and now he was going to lose Hartley before he even had Hartley and work was going to be super awkward now.

"I get it. I guess we can't do this." He felt his stomach sink but he knew it was probably a bad idea from the get go. Dating his boss and all. "... If you ever lose your job or if I get my ass fired, I guess we could find a way but I get it. I don't want to get you fired."
