[Eddie makes a noise in his throat, like he's not sure she did, but he isn't sure how to phrase why he doesn't feel like she did. But then Cisco's explaining it for him in ways that make a lot more sense than what Eddie could have come up with, while being far more compassionate to him than Eddie generally is to himself.

Obsessed with each other. That's....pretty accurate.

Softly, he laughs, and shakes his head, throat feeling tight again, and he feels, abruptly, lonely - he should be with someone who would pick him with no hesitations, no regrets, because of who he is. That doesn't seem likely. Unbidden, Dodger's words at Bryn's party come back to him, that assumption that Taako is with him because he makes Taako look better by being boring. It's annoying, that that comes back, just like all the other cruel words he's heard, the moment he's feeling weak.

Eddie's still trying to figure out what to say to that when Cisco comments on how he perceived Eddie's time in high school. Abruptly, Eddie laughs, shaking his head.]

Are you kidding me? No. No one thirsted over me, ever. Seriously. I was a fat kid, and I didn't hit my growth spurt until just before graduation. Besides that, my dad's a politician, in Keystone, and he shut down a factory where everyone's parents worked. So, not exactly high-quality friend material, let alone dates.
