I remember reading his journals the first time around, just because Astrid was like "search his room" and I feltfor him...I didn't want to kill him but I'd never played a game like this before so I didn't know you could have options in quests... but my husband said you didn't have to, so I looked it up and the wiki said he can't die as a follower so I jumped on that!Every time I re-play skyrim I finish the Dark brotherhood questline as soon as I can and get Cicero by my side.I like him more and more every time I play. I actually started toastrid this last time... but then when it got to the end of the quests I was like "damn thats right..." and can't really hate her either.My husband thinks it's funny I like him, but idk if he knows HOW MUCH I like him.and my old roomate thought he was kinda creepy, I think. When I played it on the X-box on the sofa she'd walk by and hear him every now and then or hear me talking to him (cause I talk to my games), but she didn't really know who he was. One time she was sitting on the sofa with me, but on her laptop, and heard "lets KILL someone~!!" and she said without looking up: "cicero no... thats bad" and I laughed so hard
