[ Barry's faith in him is heartwarming but his optimism is misplaced at the moment ]

i accused him of spying on us for dr. evil. which he's not doing. i'm pretty sure. like 80% sure.
i vibed the two of them kissing and i forgot about the mistletoe, what else was i supposed to think.
[ Cisco knows Barry could do without the details, but he's too worried to know what not to say, and he wants Barry to understand the severity of his fuck-up. ]
i am though dude. bad enough he had to deal with eobard sticking his tongue down his throat, without me accusing him of liking it. you should've seen the look on his face.
i don't know, i've been trying to find him but he isn't anywhere.

please don't describe it
[ Don't talk about Eobard's tongue for the loVE OF GOD. Honestly, Barry's probably about as worried as Cisco, but texting means he gets to pretend he's composed. Thanks, text. ]
it was a misunderstanding, it'll be fine. i'll talk to him.
what about you, where are you? are you ok?

sorry.
[ Cisco doesn't even acknowledge the questions ]
we aren't gonna stand a chance if it's that easy for him to get us turning on each other.
........
there's no way i could have been right, right? there's no way. if they were working together, we'd know.

[ Cisco is desperate for certainty and takes Barry's word on it. ]
right. ok. good.
which brings us back to: i messed up.

[ It is his fault, and he knows it, but he isn't going to fight Barry about it. Barry's stubborn and too forgiving by half - it'll go nowhere. ]
....he's sure got a funny definition of 'not hurting anyone'. you know about what he did to eddie right?

[ That earns a long pause. Barry knows what happened to Eddie, and he knows that Eobard's still faster than him, still stronger. He knows that the truce is a charade. If Eobard decides to break it, he has no idea what he'll be able to do about it. ]
i know.
[ He almost says it was 'extenuating circumstances', which feels completely obscene. There's no excuse for what happened to Eddie, threats or no, but— ]
we just need to stay away from him.
[ Which still sounds an awful lot like "don't give him a reason to hurt you", but Barry's honestly at a loss for better ideas. ]

that only works if he stays away from us, too. which he's not gonna do.
[ Eobard made that perfectly clear to Cisco, and Cisco's not about to sugarcoat that for Barry. ]
i mean has he been staying away from you?

[ He hadn't asked if Barry was fine, which means Barry volunteering the information that he's fine is a 100% guarantee that he is not anywhere close to fine. But how could either of them be fine. ]
yeah, it sucks. :/
about harry. thanks. for taking care of it.

I can be there in 5.
