You probably won't be.

[ so so smug ]

I happen to be the Blameless' champion of sock sliding. No one here seems to appreciate it which, if you ask me, is lame.

Can you really be the champion if you're the only one that does it?

[ It sounds like something she and Charles would have done when they were younger... And something they can't do now, at all. ]

I think you should challenge Hank.

Uh, yeah. Champion by default, baby.

[ firm nod. a moment later and he gives her a look ]

No way, it's not fair. You'll cheer for him since you're biased and I'm painfully single.

That's not how it works.

[ But, hey. It's not really her place to try and make up Cisco's rules.

Shifting, he turns back over to him properly. ]

Well, then find yourself someone to cheer you on. Are there any girls - or boys - that you like?

--- oh no not you too.

[ a groan and you get a finger pointed at you, Raven ]

for the sake of the protocol and I hope this is filmed, Winn and I are not gay. We both have long hair and love cartoon music and complete each other's sentences, okay but - not a thing. not an item.

... That's not what I meant at all.

[ But, um, okay, wow. ]

I just wasn't making assumptions about if you wanted to date a girl or a boy... But, wow.

....we may have got that a few times before.

[ a few, he says and makes a face. ]

You know his girlfriend was unsure about us? talk about awkward. That's more space soap opera than I ever thought I'd have.

[ especially as a non-involved party. ]

I'm getting that impression.

[ Raven just lifts her head, eyebrows raised. ]

Then you should see if you can find a girl that you like here, then. That'd help make things a bit better for you.

Ok and let's say there is one, hypothetically.

[ he folds his legs beneath him and gestures to the space before them, as if this girl happens there ]

'hey would you like to cheer for me in a sock sliding competition', doesn't sound all too cool. Not all girls are like you. Most of them just step on us, nerds, on the way to one of the other guys here who is built like a tank.

[ gdi super heroes. ]

It would work on me.

[ Raven moves and settles down to sit nearby, leaning back against the wall. ]

There's nothing wrong with being a nerd - look at Hank. He's a huge nerd, but I lo- I like him. [ She shrugs. ] If she doesn't like you for who you are then she's not worth it.

Ok but Raven, I hate to tell you that, but you're pretty rare on those terms and I'm not talking about the mutant thing. You're just -

[ he gestures towards her, as if it's obvious. ]

you're just super awesome. I mean, guys like us don't generally get girls like you.

[ it's a tale as old as time. ]

unless you're a secret nerd and then I'd get it.

Well, of course no one is going to be as good as me, but I'm already taken.

[ Happily, too, and she's more than content in her relationship. ]

Guys like you don't think you can get some girls, so you don't try. Trust me, I've seen it.

[ Because, hey, she'd watched Hank mumble and watch her and be ridiculous before she'd made a few first moves. Now they're a little better. ]

You're a good guy, Cisco. Those are rare. Any girl would be lucky to get you.

d'aw.

[ sorry, Raven, you get an extra warm Cisco hug. ]

is it ok we're hugging? it's a hugging moment. are you ok with hugs? should've asked it before -

[ :) ]

[ Raven wrinkles her nose, at least for a moment, because she is a little bit technically naked and only her close friends touch her like this, but... ]

It's fine.

[ Cisco is good. ]
