i didn't know you didn't know!!! i figured everybody knew!!!
no it is not taako taako's my guy but not like that it's eddie thawne! my roommate or *roommate* i guess
[ He sends a very cute selfie of him and Eddie for good measure, where Eddie is twisting to kiss Cisco's cheek and Cisco has his nose all scrunched up cutely, trying not to laugh.
Cisco you could leave it right there. You could keep it simple. It wouldn't technically be lying. ]
actually fun story eddie and taako went out for a bit a while ago that's how i met taako in the first place cuz eddie and me knew each other before we came here but they broke up aaand i've been with eddie for like 2 months? ish
for real? how is that even possible? someone as cute as you? that just ain't right.
[ Oh no, Cisco is getting Ideas. ]
yeah he's way outta my league i've got no clue wtf he's thinking being w me but he's the best guy i've ever gone out with. by a mile. i bet you'd love him, he's a badass detective. you should come over sometime and meet him, we can kick his ass at mario kart or something
AWWW you're sweet ๐ I'm not really looking to get into a relationship or anything tho But I do like flirting!
[ just that she's basically consistently ended up just playing video games with whoever instead of literally anything else ]
wtf are you talking about you're the cutest sweetest and smartest person in this place so of course you'd get a 10 ๐ I'm always down to crush n00bs at Mario kart tho
well have you been flirting with anyone in particular recently???
[ He wonders if she actually isn't looking to get in a relationship, which is possible, or whether she is doing the thing he'd done in college where he said that he preferred messing around to long-term dating, when in truth he was covering up for very low self-esteem. Hana's always seemed so confident, but that doesn't mean anything. Some people are very good actors. Hell she IS an actress, she said so. ]
you're nice but there's no 'of course' about it i'm not bad or anything, but i wasn't exactly the moon's most eligible either i guess the shared history helped. i'm the only other person from his world here. we seem pretty different but we got a lot in common.
a couple guys i guess it's mostly like friendly flirting tho you know? tho i did kinda hook up with gladio on halloween...
[ truth of the matter is, as far as Hana is concerned, relationships are... too much work. She's had a few boyfriends and none of those relationships have been particularly enjoyable, and that was all before she became a soldier. Since then - there just wasn't time. And why would she get into one when there was a war to fight? ]
all i'm trying to say is that i think you deserve the best so i'm not surprised you would end up with someone that you think is out of your league. give yourself some more credit my guy ;)
hold up HOLD UP so you DID hit that after all?! ๐ฏ
& what couple guys? ๐
[ Cisco gets it, now. He'd been asking the wrong questions - about boyfriends and relationships, rather than some guys she was having fun with. If Hana's coming at things from that angle, well, good for her.
And what she says about him deserving someone like Eddie actually makes Cisco's eyes go a bit wet, and he has to blink quickly to clear them before he types back: ]
omfg no we made out that's all he's a roommate plus he's genji's friend so i think it'd be weird if we did any more than that ??? ๐ค
i mean... i met this guy jason on that friendr app and then he ended up in my bed but we just flirt a lot and gladio says things a lot but im pretty sure he just says things to everyone and there's this guy shiro who's pretty cute and a mech pilot like me but and he's pretty cute but like i said it's all just friendly flirting
[ is there such a thing??? ]
and there's this actor guy karamatsu who's super extra and kinda weird and he has a major crush on me but ๐
[ if this conversation was happening irl, though, Hana would have definitely given Cisco a big big hug by now, especially if she'd seen him get teary-eyed. ]
[ Either it's a question of linguistic differences ('hooked up' is hardly the most precise) or maybe the assumption just says a bit more about Cisco than it does about Hana. After all, he'd definitely done more than made out with Eddie, who was a roommate and had recently broken up with a good friend of Cisco's. But, fortunately for the both of them, Hana doesn't know that story, or any of the others about Cisco's past encounters of the hookup variety. ]
mhmmm i see well that at least makes me feel a little better about the justice of the universe somebody like you deserves at least three guys charming her at any given time.
[ She might see it all as friendly flirting, but Cisco doesn't doubt that at least one or two of them would be happy for it to be more of a serious thing, if Hana were into that. He'd pined after plenty of people who thought it was all friendly flirting, after all. He knows from experience. ]
oh no he a creep? not that you need any help sticking up for yourself but if there's anybody you need me to scare off i might not seem scary but believe me i can rustle up some scary if the situation calls for it
[ Hana, meanwhile, is completely oblivious to anything anyone might feel toward her that goes beyond simple attraction. That much is natural, she thinks, but when it comes to any genuine, serious feelings - she doesn't have much experience in that arena. So often people have come to 'like' her as D.Va - not for Hana. ]
nah i can handle him he shows up at night sometimes and serenades me at my window (tho he accidentally serenaded genji one time) he's pretty harmless just kinda annoying? idk
oh, believe me i know i'm well aware they are around
[ Does Cisco also have a type? Perhaps. And sure, he's pretty damn happy with one particular buff guy at the moment but that doesn't mean he hasn't noticed that this moon has a good supply of beefcake. ]
okay but even the badassest badass needs a backup bro now and then that's the first rule of superheroing no going it alone
I'm like surrounded by them somehow probably cuz I'm so awesome but yeah shiro is a pretty nice guy. kinda like magnus i guess? both of them think they can beat me at games someday lol, isn't that so cute?
[ Hana is honestly pretty glad to have a bro like Cisco. Genji is great and all, but she doesn't feel as free to talk about boys with him... ]

oh no
he a creep?

ok well if that ever changes

idk there's a lot of cute buff guys around ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
