[Eddie manages a small smile when Cisco says he didn't know that he wishes he'd have just skipped Taako and gotten together with him. Shrugging a bit, he glances down, feeling a little guilty and a little strange all at once.
While Cisco talks, about what it might've meant, what it might've done for him, to date Taako and find out what he needs, Eddie listens, tries to take what he can from it. When Cisco finishes, he makes a soft hum in his throat, shrugging again.]
Maybe you're right. But I think I learned all that with Iris already. That I had to be someone's top priority. I can't remember if I told you I broke up with her, shortly before I died. We got back together, but...I'd broken it off because it was impossible to ignore how much Barry had intruded on our relationship.
[Licking his lips, he avoids eye contact, frowning a little.]
I think with Taako, after what happened with Iris, I just wanted to be wanted. I needed to feel like someone was attracted to me, like I was desirable. I tried, but there was no real emotional connection there, he kept me at arms' length and I still don't know why.
[Exhaling softly, he glances up at Cisco again.]
So I guess that's what I'm resentful of. That I feel like he never gave us a chance.
