[At least one of them is. And he'd like Barry to stay that way, which is why he failed to mention he brought up his own previous threats.]
Yeah, I thought it was for the best to just text him. You're welcome. You...and Cisco. You guys are all I have from home. I'm glad we've had a chance to get closer.
Don't apologize. I've got no choice but to be in the middle of this. He's my descendant.

[ Skeptical, but he's giving Eddie a chance to explain before he assumes. Mostly. ]
no subject
He said it was because you outed him to anlot of people and he didn't think it mattered because he outed himself at the same time.
no subject
but you didn't find him in person, right?
and i hate to say he has a point, but he kind of has a point. i haven't been subtle.
[ More like "we haven't been subtle", but that's politely implied. ]
seriously, i'll be fine. it's just a lot to get used to.
no subject
No. I messaged him privately.
I also reminded him I'd only told one person, before there was a truce.
Yeah. Well. You know if you need anything, I'm here for you.
no subject
good. i know playing nice is going to be a stretch, but we can at least try to keep it to text.
[ Safer that way. Possibly a little petty, but. ]
i know. and i mean it, thank you.
for whatever it's worth, i'm sorry you keep getting stuck in the middle of whatever this is.

[ Whatever "closer" means, that point stands without hesitation. But thinking too much about it makes it too easy to think of it as stolen time, so— ]
you know that doesn't actually make you responsible for him, right?
no subject
[The whole thing is complicated, and he knows it, but he doesn't exactly regret any of it, no matter how it turns out.]
I am, though.
But it doesn't matter. It's over now.
As long as you're okay.
