[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.]

[ It feels, in fact, a lot easier than Reggie would have expected a kiss like this to feel-- maybe because they'd already agreed this was happening? Having the guesswork taken out certainly helps move things along. It's warm and experimental, not necessarily intimate yet, but eager, with an increasingly hungry edge as they gather momentum. ]

Mmh--

[ Archie's hands on him only makes Reggie kiss him harder, teeth nipping playfully and fingers pulling at his hair, trying to wordlessly compel Archie to touch him more, wherever and however he wants. After another moment or two Reggie draws back, breaking the kiss briefly so he can pull his shirt off and over his head. ]

[Maybe it's that they agreed. Maybe it's just that they'd both thought about it more than either one of them is admitting. Whatever it is, Archie doesn't question it, just accepts it, shifting in closer to Reggie.

Archie makes a soft hiss of a sound when Reggie nips. It does what Reggie wants since he digs his fingers into Reggie's back, dragging him in tighter against Archie. He doesn't let go to let Reggie yank off his shirt until his brain catches up that's WHY Reggie's pulling back, and then Archie releases him, hurriedly doing the same.

He yanks off his sweatshirt and drops it to the floor, eyes sliding over Reggie. Archie shakes his head a little and gives a small laugh.] Damn, Reg.

[He's seen it before, sure. But it's not the same as seeing it when you're allowed to touch it and appreciate it. Archie reaches out, running his hands down Reggie's sides and stepping in to kiss him again.]

[ Checking out your bros on a casual day-to-day, or even in the locker room, is one thing, but being allowed to stare appreciatively at Archie's body is something of a revelation. Now Reggie can both look and touch without having to worry about being caught staring, and he fully intends on making the most of the opportunity.

"Intends" is hardly even the right word for it; Reggie doesn't have to think, it just happens, his hand stoking to feel up the swell of Archie's bicep, his pecs, fingers tracing the marks of his scar. ]

Damn yourself, Arch.

[ He murmurs it against Archie's mouth, too impatient to break the kiss any more than that. Now that they've started he's committed to seeing this through, however far it takes them, because for all he knows the moment they lose momentum that'll be it-- the mood will be broken and this will just be some awkward experiment they will never speak of again.

That's worst case scenario, though, the furthest thing right now from Reggie's mind. He pulls Archie closer by the belt loops of his jeans and then hooks a leg around him to hold him there, keep their bodies close. ]

[Archie's mouth pulls into a grin as Reggie's hands slide over him, unable to resist flexing just a little beneath his touch.] Yeah?

[Somehow, even if Reggie were attracted enough to want to do this with him, Archie hadn't expected outright admiration. It's a rush coming from someone he's usually competing against, at least in part.

The mood breaking is the last thing on Archie's mind. Especially when he feels Reggie's fingers in his belt loops and a strong leg hooking around him. Archie answers by dipping the arm around Reggie lower, hand spreading on his hip wide enough that it's half on his ass and pressing into his mouth, taking a cue from him earlier and nipping at his lip before licking back into his mouth, kiss going too deep and hungry to be anything but dirty.]
