[ The answer to that is good ol' healthy living, Jughead. Diet, regular exercise, a feisty personality-- okay, no. Maybe those all could help, but the real answer is just that Reggie is trying to aggressively make light of an awkward situation before the events of last night really start to sink in... or maybe in the hopes they won't.
Nonetheless, his eyes drift to watch Jughead slide out of bed, observing him in silence. The sight of his body alone -- that much of it, exposed -- is enough to start stirring Reggie's memory, so he bites the corner of his lip and lays back, shifting his gaze toward the ceiling to try and further delay processing these events more deeply, but Jughead leaning over to kiss him throws that plan to the wind. ]
Wh--
[ Reggie's face goes a bit red in surprise, more from what Jughead says than what he does; it's not a compliment, at least not a straightforward one, because they just don't do that and Reggie's not sure he's ever even heard Jughead utter the word "sexy" in his life, but however it's intended, Reggie has no response before Jughead's disappeared from the room, leaving him to just put his hand over his still-warm face and then drag it through his hair, frustrated and uncharacteristically flustered.
He has some time to recover from whatever the hell that was now, at least, but he's going to have to retaliate somehow for sure, find a way to tease Jughead just as much once he gets back to the bedroom. "Very sexy," huh? Pfft. ]
