If you cared about each other, why is that weird? [ Okay, it's a little weird but this place has taught her that sexuality is a lot more fluid than she realized. She feels weird about it all but she can act supportive while she sorts out her feelings.] So?
[ It's not even people knowing that he's bi which bothers Reggie (if it did he'd probably make more of an effort to ever bother trying to hide it) but that-- well, it's Archie. Which does make it all a bit weird. ]
idk weird cuz i didnt know archie ever went 4 dudes or cuz i suck at dating or cuz i barely get along with any of his friends or cuz when i went back home i found out hes got a gf now so it almost def wont ever happen again
& probably some other reasons too i guess pick ur favorite
[ Reggie starts typing and then stops a couple of times, trying to work out his response. Ugh. This is really not his thing, sincere (in the range of "heartfelt") conversations like this.
He ignores her second point, the more sensitive and relevant one, to instead say: ]
well i didnt rly tell anyone if that makes u feel any better
idk if i'd call it a secret exactly i dont rly keep secrets some shit i just dont talk about as much
anyway relax cooper he was prob getting around to telling u soon bet on account of me hating jughead and all he just wanted to figure out how to break the news gently or w/e

And you know, he could come back.

[ Archie was earnest and usually a terrible liar. Later, she'll start to realize the things he'd said that hinted at his relationship with Reggie.]
I'm sorry he's gone, Reggie.
Maybe you and Jug can not be so hard on each other? We've all we got here.

[ Archie is her best friend.]
You know what I'm talking about. You are both always at each other's throats.
