[Eddie had been waiting to calm down before seeing Ray, in all honesty, trying to work out how to defend his boyfriend without instigating more trouble that would spiral out of control. And in the end, he'd managed it. The headache is mostly from restraint, from trying not to express how angry he'd been.

Still, when Cisco changes the subject and teases him about being gross, tells him about Singh's doppelganger, it's a relief, and the smile comes easily to his face. When Cisco starts to strip, Eddie does too, sheds his tank top and sweats, winces at the pull in his upper arm, and steps into the shower.]

I am absolutely capable of being gross. Believe me. When I was losing weight I worked out until I threw up a couple times. Fat, sweaty kid puking in a trash can. Not pretty.

[It's casual, one of the things he would hesitate to tell anyone else, but trusts Cisco enough to let him know.]

Wow. The mental images I get from the term 'elaborate facial hair' are pretty amazing, not gonna lie...
