[ Well, that answers at least a few questions for Cisco. Eddie hadn't gone looking for Ray, which is a bit of a surprise. And while he had said in his texts that they'd argued a little, but there's a pretty big gap between talking through some minor disagreements and getting angry enough for a headache.

(Cisco can't help but feel responsible for that, like all the rest of this.)

He releases Eddie from the hug but slips a hand into his, tugs him towards the small bathroom with its shower. ]

I'm pretty sure you're genetically incapable of being gross, which is just not fair, honestly.

[ Cisco knows he doesn't have to always put a good face on things with Eddie, doesn't always have make him laugh just to keep him around. But there is something to be said for using humor as a tool, as a buffer for the both of them, even if they both know that's all it is. Because Eddie's tired and has a headache and Cisco just wants to see him smile. ]

Dude I just remembered the greatest thing and I've been dying to tell you all morning. You know when I was telling you about all those crazy Earth-2 doppelgangers I ran into.

[ As he's talking Cisco gets the water running, starts to take off his clothes with a lack of shyness that's still a little bit of an effort (though he doesn't let that show). ]

Guess who I forgot? Singh. Barry said he was like, a criminal with elaborate facial hair? I totally wish I could have seen that. Can you imagine?
