I mean, you could be too... [Archie is maybe not full of great ideas even when he's stone cold sober, so it's probably not actually comforting that that particular one feels absolutely solid to him. When you're drunk, you don't have to question things, it's great!! And Reggie seems like maybe he's questioning things right now.

Well, not that much. Since they're still kissing.

Slower now, though, like maybe it's coming to an end. Archie is more than a little reluctant: he does like kissing just for kissing's sake, it makes him feel like he's not so alone for a little while, but this kiss... it's good, in ways that his other drunken makeouts hadn't really been. Not that they were bad, but this feels different, somehow.

Like Ronnie had always been different somehow. Archie doesn't really know how to process that, right now, so like everything on the night of the party, he just... doesn't bother.

He doesn't pull back, but he does still manage to mutter sheepishly:]
You'll have to make more, though. [Listen. He was at the complete end of his rope. If he'd have known that he could just get a touch wasted and kiss it out earlier he wouldn't have spent two weeks going out of his mind every time the memory slipped back up to haunt him. (That's a lie he probably still would have.)]
