"Bro, that algebra test was harder than I expected," said Reggie.

"It was actually sort of easy, Reg," Archie responded.

Archie and Reggie were standing at Archie's locker chatting, and things between them had more or less gone back to normal, until Fangs decided to make an appearance.

"Hey, Archie. Hey, Reggie," Fangs greeted them.

"Hey," Archie and Reggie replied in unison.

Clearly just including Archie in the greeting as a courtesy, Fangs turned his attention to Reggie.

"So, Reggie, what's up?" Fangs asked.

"Not too much, man. What's up with you?"

"You know. Same old, same old. So, is it okay if I talk about...certain things in front of Archie? You know, things that may have happened yesterday?" Fangs danced around the topic inelegantly.

"Yeah, bro, of course," Reggie replied.

"Okay, well, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since we made out yesterday, man," Fangs opened.

"Wait, what?" Archie interjected.

"I got you these," Fangs pulled a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.

"Ah, so that's why you were holding one of your hands behind your back this whole time," Reggie realized. "Thanks, man."

"No problem. So did you wanna fuck around some more? Maybe go a little farther this time?" Fangs suggested.

Archie's face displayed disbelief.

"I don't know, man. That was some pretty intense making out and I don't know if I can handle level two with you," Reggie replied.

"Come on. Do you know what you do to me? You're such a sexy angel," Fangs seduced.

"Alright, boys. Break it up. We're all gonna be late for class," Archie had to finally interrupt.

"Alright, fine, but listen, Mantle: I will get in those pants and I am gonna make you wonder why you waited so long to try boys," said Fangs.

Fangs winked and jogged off toward his class.

"Dude, what the hell was all that? You made out with Fangs?" Archie asked.

"Yeah, man. It was a whole thing. You're with Veronica, so we couldn't mess around, so I saw Fangs and satisfied my curiosity, bro."

"Looks like you've got him all hot and bothered."

"Yeah, he was super aggressive when we were making out."

"I mean, we could've talked some more about it. You didn't have to run to Fangs."

"I didn't run to him, man. I told you I just ran into him yesterday."

"I mean, I guess if all you wanted to do was kiss a guy, I could've done that," Archie said.

He contemplated, then placed a quick peck on Reggie's impressive lips. Reggie laughed.

"Did you just kiss me, Archie? Why?"

"That's what you wanted, right? Are you satisfied?"

"Dude, I got plenty of kissing from Fangs yesterday."

"Well, what else do you want? Just tell me. I mean, I'll do it."

"I don't even know what I want, man. I'm just exploring."

"Just don't go to Fangs, Reggie. I don't think it's a good idea. He's too assertive about it."

"I mean, it's actually kinda cool, that someone wants me so much. I mean, a girl would never act like that and it feels pretty nice," said Reggie.

"Listen, just come to my house after school. We can do whatever you want," Archie said hesitantly.

"It's not like I have any plans to run to Fangs and finish what we started. I was just saying it was interesting," Reggie attempted to reassure.

"Well, I feel like he's eventually gonna convince you with his gang member smoothness, so just come to me and we can fool around, I promise."
