[The entire conversation had confused Archie. But then, he'd never exactly been just like the other Bulldogs on the team. He'd always hovered around, being a part of the team and friends with most people, but if there had been afternoons after practice spent watching porn, he definitely hadn't had an invite. And if he had, he would have wormed out of it.
Because yeah, he didn't mind watching porn with people he was attracted to and letting it lead to something else. Whether that was watching each other, or fooling around or whatever. He didn't see the point otherwise? It'd just be awkward and frustrating if it was someone you didn't want to do any of that with. So him and Reggie had a vastly different perspective, and it left Archie wondering if he was the weird one for thinking it WASN'T just no big deal.
And then Reggie wanted to meet up and try it his way so Archie was more confused. Which, if he had any sense probably meant he should have said they shouldn't. But the thing is that Reggie is good looking and Archie isn't, and never has been, great at being alone. With Ronnie and him broken up and Jug and Betty still a couple, Archie spends too much time on his own with punching bags.
So porn with his hot friend who'll probably be a lot more casual about it than Archie ever manages to be might not be the smartest idea. But it's definitely the one Archie does anyway when he gets Reggie's message.
It's going to be awkward as hell though. When you know you're just going to fool around, how long do you watch the porn for first? And if it's a bro thing, does that take making out off the table?
Maybe Archie should have asked Moose. Too late now though, since he's already at Reggie's, texting he's there in case his dads are home. When Reg lets him in, Archie smiles, rubbing at the back of his own neck briefly.] Hey. Didn't know if you had the place to yourself or not.
