[Eddie can tell from the way Cisco looks at him that he's putting it all together, fitting the pieces together to make up the puzzle that is Eddie Thawne, and it's so weird to be the subject of that kind of attention. He can feel the shift of Cisco's hand in his, assumes that Cisco is about to let go, because his father was a politician, because Eddie had changed how Cisco perceives him, or something else - he's strangely okay with it.
But instead Cisco leans forward a bit and explains what his high school history was like, and Eddie finds himself trying to fit together some pieces he wasn't expecting - he'd thought Cisco would've been one of those fun nerds, the kind who got teased a bit but scored a ton of girls with his cheerful personality and tutored people on the side, and had a ton of friends. Everything about Cisco's explanation seems wrong, and that shows on his face for a moment.]
What? Seriously? People didn't like you? I don't...how can anyone not like you?
