[ Cisco knows, there's that erased timeline throwing a wrench in the works, and that it's a bit more complex than just that statement. But he doesn't want Eddie to forget it. That whatever might happen in the future, long after his death, that Iris had picked him when he'd been around. ]
But I think. As much as I love Iris, and as hard as you worked to make it work, I think... you deserve someone who would pick you, with no hesitations, and no regrets. Not just because you were with her first, but because of who you are. And Iris couldn't do that, because her and Barry are obsessed with each other, and they were before you even showed up, y'know? Ain't nobody could compete with that kind of history.
[ He hadn't known, that Eddie had broken things off with Iris so soon before his death. Things had been so chaotic, at that time. Cisco had been too wrapped up in everything that was falling apart in his own life to pay too much attention to anyone else's shit. ]

[ Okay, that was a little too far. Lucky for him, his cheeks don't show off a blush too obviously, and also Eddie's on pain medication. He's got plausible deniability for that. Right? It was just a compliment... ]
