[Archie's not immune to awkward. But he does usually power through, and he might have just done that even if this had gone sideways into weird immediately. They'd been friends too long and been through too much to let something like this screw that up, so Archie would have just brushed it off, maybe actually changed to playing video games - something.
Luckily he doesn't have to. Reggie pulls him closer and Archie just goes. It's weirdly easy for a first kiss, that feeling of testing things out going missing pretty quickly in favor of it just being good. Archie's not sure what he expected, but not that, probably?
Reggie's hand on his thigh makes Archie press in closer. He fists his hand into Reggie's shirt too, but just to pull it up enough that his other hand can press against bare skin at Reggie's hip. Archie's not blind. He's noticed Reggie too, for a long time. Somewhere in the back of his mind is a list of spots he'd like to lick, and that divot at his hip is one of them, the line of his abs another.]
