REGGIE CLIFFTON

The biggest thing that Reggie Clifton sought out in life was normalcy. And it seemed like as of late it was evading her grasps more and more in certain ways, to which she did not know how to properly deal with. But Matt had been a friend through it all, and it was welcomed at the chance to hang out with her outside of Acup. It had been awhile since they had made the time to do so. Being a pair that had no problem with secret public hook ups, it was always up in the air where they would end up. Today though, they landed at Matt's place. They were sitting playing video games together on the couch in Matt and Maddy's apartment, with Reggie's natural desire to win coming into play by her leaning with the turns despite it not being a game that required physical motion. As it turned out, Mario Party could be fierce with only two people. This mini game was a team effort one thankfully, and so as it ended with Matt and Reggie winning, she raised her fists in victory, "The Twenty-Something Ninja Turtles  win!" She declared,  using her free hand to give Matt a high five, "I mean, I basically carried you  but still. Team work." she teased with a slight laugh.

MATT SOLÍS

Casual relationships almost always worked out well for Matt. Friends with benefits? Matt was an expert because if she went into a relationship with no expectations that’ll it become something more, Matt never allowed herself to catch feelings. It was easier that way. The few relationships that egged her on that something could happen always hurt her the most because eventually most found themselves disappointed that Matt wasn’t just sensual and mysterious but actually a human with emotions and her wide share of nerdiness. So when Matt comes across someone like Reggie who only expects friendship with a side of hot sex, Matt was grateful. Despite their obvious dominant personalities, they got along well and bonded over video games and being absolute playful assholes around each other. Matt furrowed her eyebrows in concentration as they played video games in Matt’s living room. Matt took her video games very seriously and she was glad she also had someone like Reggie to let her nerd flag fly. Because Matt was competitive and really showed enthusiasm while playing video games. When they won the mini game at Mario Party, Matt did a little dance and smirked before high fiving Reggie. “Fuck yeah!” She exclaimed before flicking off Reggie. “And fuck you. If there’s anything I’m good at it’s the Mario franchise and everything that comes with it.” Matt told her before sticking her tongue out and then reaching over to answer a text message from Lara and smiled softly at the text before putting it away.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie shrugged away with a chuckle at Matt's retort to her teasing, knowing full well how Matt liked to win, too. Unlike with sports, Reggie was able to keep a lighter side of her competitive nature with video games, likely due to the fact she didn't play them too much, but she was able to pick things up with ease. At least anything involving strategy, "Who knew Mario was the one guy Matt Solis would willingly spend so much time with. I didn't think he was your type." Reggie jested, noticing a smile on Matt's lips from what she could only assume was a text, but she didn't mention it. Privacy was something almost always guaranteed with Reggie. The game kept on playing and Reggie noticed something, "Well look at that. We're tied for first. Whoever gets the next star wins." She pointed out, relishing that feeling of close competition without getting too intense about it, "Since you're so close with your boy Mario, how about we up the reward of winning?"

MATT SOLÍS

Matt laughed and shook her head. "Toad is the one who has my  heart, actually. " She joked back, pushing Reggie playfully. Matt raised an eyebrow at Reggie before smirking. "Oh?" she tilted her head. "And what would that reward be? Does it involve the words pillow and princess?" she joked with a laugh. "Just so you know, I can make this game my bitch so..." She trailed off. "Make sure you know what you're suggesting, Reg." she teased as she glanced back at the screen. Matt definitely liked where Reggie was suggesting. Not all of their hang outs ended with sex, but Matt was definitely in the mood for sex and if it went there Matt would be more than happy to oblige.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie smirk as Matt clearly was picking up what she was throwing down, "That is the kind of Princess reward I'm looking for. No offense to our present company of Princess Peach." She said with a gesture towards the TV. While Matt and Reggie were different, they were similar enough to where they could land on the same mental wavelength, usually when it came to anything physical. They worked as friends, and worked as friends with benefits, and it was easy to go between both without it getting complicated. She found Matt's confidence alluring, and it only encouraged her to go forward with the thought even if Matt had years more of playing under her belt. Backing down from a challenge wasn't the Reggie Clifton way, "Trust, I know what I'm suggesting. But if you're too intimdated to be a bottom, I get it. We can just drop the whole thing and I'll just have bragging rights for winning instead."

MATT SOLÍS

Matt chuckled as she listened to Reggie’s suggestions before biting her lip. “Mama didn’t raise no bitch.” She smirked. “I’ll allow it. If I happen to lose I’ll be your pillow princess.” She blushed. “But I doubt it.” She teased with a wink as she settled into her couch and sat down cross legged. “Get ready to be my pillow princess, Clifton.” She teased. Matt was an expert at shit-talking. Matt started to play the final level and furrowed her eyebrows in concentration, aggressively pressing on the controls as they played. Matt was determined to win and this was her expertise, of course she’d win. And then she didn’t. Reggie fucking beat her. Matt was more upset about Reggie getting the star then of her having to switch from top to bottom. “I can’t believe you beat me this is bullshit!” She exclaimed, pouting.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie didn't care if she lost or won in this case. True, she was more of the giving type but it wasn't as if she didn't like feeling good herself. It just wasn't in her nature to simply lay there and do nothing, and she knew the same went for Matt. That didn't mean she was willing to pass up a chance to put Matt in such a position. Still, when she actually won the game, it even surprised her. It had been more luck than skill that she managed to get a roll of the dice that got her the final star. Which she couldn't help but laugh about, especially given Matt's reaction as she set the control beside her, "I can't believe it either," she agreed, looking over at her pouting friend. Once her laughter died down, she was left with a smirk instead as the fact she won their bet sunk in too, "Hey, don't stress about it, Matt Attack," Reggie offered as she leaned her body forward from against the couch, raising a hand to Matt's cheek so she could have them looking at each other with their faces near, "I promise this is the one time that losing's going to feel good." She assured in an low, even voice as her eyes scanning over Matt's to ensure she didn't come off as genuinely uncomfortable, "If you want to really fit your namesake for the night, we can go to your room, though I'm fine having you as a Couch Countess too." She teased with playful grin, keeping their position of being near one another.

MATT SOLÍS

Matt’s pouting subsided and replaced when with feelings of wanting to feel Reggie doing things to her and bit her lip to hold back the smirk. Matt tossed the remote aside before kissing Reggie’s lips roughly suddenly and pulling her to her room without disconnecting their lips. “Either I’m a princess or the deal is off.” She mumbled as she pushed Reggie down the bed and straddled her. Matt couldn’t let herself pillow princess it up just yet. Matt disconnected her lips. “It’s hard not being a top.” Matt laughed as she kissed down to Reggie’s neck. “You’re putting me in a tough position here, Reg.” Matt joked. Matt would never admit it to Reggie, because Reggie would never let her live it down, but Matt was actually looking a little forward to just lie back and let Reggie do all the work. The thought of Matt actually becoming a pillow princess crossed her mind and she shook her head. Of course she would not. Matt was too much of a dominant personality to ever want to give that up. At least she knew she could trust Reggie to make her feel good, even if she knew Reggie would no doubt tease her about this little moment between them for the rest of their damn lives.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

“I didn’t put you in a tough spot, you losing Mario did,” Reggie breathlessly chuckled as she took in the sensation of Matt’s lips on her skin. Her hands ran themselves down Matt’s back, feeling the inadvertent motions that bodies did when in such a situation and stopped once reaching her hips. She let Matt have a few more moments (for both their enjoyment) before Reggie ducked her head so she could assertively connect their lips again. She wasted little to no time in upping it into making out but it was for good reason. As soon as it felt like their intense lip locking was a sufficent distraction for Matt, she used her muscle and skill to roll them over, taking the spot at top as their bodies pressed together. Reggie pulled back a bit, her smirk incredibly smug, “Don’t worry Matty, I’ll be gentle.” Reggie teased, breaking out a nickname she normally didn’t use but it felt called for given they were straying from their usual hook up routine. Her fingertips felt the skin under the hemline of Matt’s shirt as she leaned in to give her neck the same kind of care and attention Reggie’s own had received only moments before. And while she was handling with care in order to avoid leaving marks, Reggie’s tongue could taste Matt already which made her all the more physically and emotionally excited at the prospect of what was to come.

MATT SOLÍS

Matt smirked when Reggie flipped them over and was on top. Usually their hook ups involved the other constantly fighting for dominance which always resulted in hot, fiery sex which always lasted more than one round. Matt wouldn’t lie and say Reggie wasn’t her favorite fuck buddy. Reggie knew her body incredibly well and knew exactly where to make Matt feel good. As her and Reggie made out, Matt’s thoughts suddenly shifted to Lara and the make out sessions she always had with her and how incredible they were. And as fun as Reggie was, a part of her wished it was Lara on top of her and driving her insane with her lips. Matt groaned at the kisses on her neck. “Fuck, keep going.” She mumbled, moving her head a little to give Reggie more access. As Reggie continued her movements and kept going with her sexual advancements, Matt felt her head getting more and more clouded and her mind drifting more to Lara. Matt was usually a one-track mind during sex and didn’t focus on anything else but the person under them (or in this case, on top) but her kind kept thinking of Lara and imagining Lara with her and being the one making her feel this good. Matt closed her eyes and moaned softly at Reggie’s particular move. “Oh fuck, Lara, that feels so good.” Slipped from Matt’s lips without thinking about who was on top of her at the moment. Matt never did slip ups like this and the moment the name slipped from her lips Matt’s eyes widened and she quickly pushed off Reggie. “Oh.” She felt her face turn red. “Oh fuck.” Matt covered her face. “Jesus fucking Christ. What the fucking fuck. Holy fucking shit.” Matt groaned, wanting to self combust or just drop dead with how embarrassed she was about Matt saying someone else’s name during sex. And not just any name, but Lara’s name. Lara fucking James. “I want to die.” She mumbled.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

No matter how things went, Reggie knew Matt wasn't going to suddenly be into letting het dominate all the time, but her reactions were all proof she wasn't hating this. Matt was even encouraging it, and that was all Reggie needed to keep heating things up. If winning video games led to things like these, she'd start playing them more. Reggie's mind was pretty focused on Matt, but that changed when she said something that didn't quite fit with the situation. Reggie had already pulled back slightly upon the surprising turn of events, and if she wasn't already sure Matt had slipped up, the fact she pushed Reggie off and was freaking out did it, "Did you just-??" Reggie started, not even able to say her question before she started bursting out laughing. She was still laying back against the bed and her hands were resting on her stomach. She wasn't trying to make Matt feel bad, but she had never had this happen before. Especially in such a situation where she was trying to make a memorable sexual impression on a girl, "Did you just call me another girl's fucking name? Jesus Matt." She exclaimed, very clearly finding it hilarious instead of as an insult or problem.

MATT SOLÍS

Matt shook her head and smacked Reggie’s arm. “Shut up.” She mumbled as she stood up and put her pants back on. “This is so fucking embarrassing  this has never happened to me before, I swear. I just...she crossed my mind and got me thinking about her and I guess I just...” Matt bit her lip. “I kept thinking about her and I guess I kinda maybe possibly started imagining her in your place.” Matt looked down and felt her face heat up. “I swear this has never happened before and I’m never thinking of someone else and—“ Matt groaned in frustration. “Reggie, stop laughing.” She whined, throwing a pillow to Reggie. “God this is worse than being a god damn pillow princess. Saying someone else’s name is literally the same as confessing you have an infection after you fuck. It’s a bad surprise, and I want to explode right now. “Strike me fucking dead right now God please.” Matt couldn’t contain the nervous ass word vomit in trying to justify what she said but she knew there was no explanation needed for what Matt said.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie wasn't rushing to put clothing back on like Matt was, mostly due to the fact she wasn't the embarrassed one. Hearing all the word vomit that Matt was having made it funnier. Not so much the content but how flustered she was by the situation. The thing about Matt and Reggie was they were both so intense (yet both nerds in their own right) that getting flustered didn't happen. It was always like a game of cat and cat, with dominance being the mouse. Right now though, Matt seemed to be genuinely embarrassed and Reggie tried to calm her laughter. Without realizing it though, Reggie had moved more towards the edge of the bed and so once a pillow was hurled her way, she fell to the ground. That just made it all the more hilarious, but she was genuinely trying to get it together, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's not that funny." She tried to assure, getting on her knees and leaning forward on the bed so she could be facing Matt. Her mouth was still fighting the smile and giggles wanting to spill out, "I just can't help it. They just keep slipping out, you know?" She teased, biting her lip to keep from her laughing fit from returning in full force again after her slight jab of a joke to Matt. She was succeeding for the most part, her eyes on Matt as she kept a good natured smile and her hands clasped together, "Honestly, on my end of things, this is immensely better than being told you have an infection. It's actually more like you've got an infatuation with me... I mean, with Lara. Geez, I guess our names are just so similar that it's easy to confuse them."

MATT SOLÍS

Matt crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as she watched Reggie dying of laughter over what happened and huffed. Matt glared at Reggie and her endless teasing and shook her head. “It did slip out!” She exclaimed. “I just...I was so into my head thinking of her it just...slipped, I don’t know shut the fuck up, Reggie.” She sat back down on the bed and looked over at Reggie. “You’re such an asshole.” She groaned against one of the pillows and then lifted her head back up and gave Reggie the middle finger. “You think you’re so funny, don’t you?” She bit her lip and felt herself blushing again. “I can’t believe I can’t even fuck in peace without her being in the back of my mind.” Matt huffed as she ran a hand through her hair. “I have a...weird thing with Lara.” Matt confessed. “I like her but commitment is tough for me because you know...people can’t exactly commit to me or like more than hot Matt so...yeah.” Matt chuckled. “We make out too so uh...that could explain the whole...name thing.” Matt bit her lip.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

"I do think that, because I am hilarious." Reggie said with a confidence and teasing smile. She was slowly but surely getting her composure back and it was just in time seeing as Matt was having a genuine struggle with the name slip. While Reggie herself hadn't been called someone else before, once upon a time she had moments where she was thinking of someone else while intimate with another. Maybe she didn't moan their name, but she understood what that was like on some level, "Yep, there we go. That explains it all." Reggie agreed as she moved herself from sitting on her knees beside the bed to sitting beside Matt on it. Even if the pair hooked up from time to time, it didn't change the fact they wer friends first and Matt was very obviously out of sorts, "I mean, it doesn't entirely explain it, but enough to understand you're not ready to be a pillow princess yet. At least, not for me. And in case you forgot, my name's Reggie." She jested, her arm lightly nudging against Matt's to try and get her to stress less about the slip up, "You really panicked about having her in your head, dude. Does that mean she likes more than the hot Matt part of you?"

MATT SOLÍS

Matt chewed on her lip as Reggie spoke and Matt shrugged before giving a small nod. “She does like more than hot Matt and that’s so scary because she wants to know me and she makes it so easy, too. It’s never been so easy before but...I can’t shake off that familiar feeling that she’ll hurt me like others have, you know? I’m the fucking lesbian with trust issues.” Matt laughed as she leaned back and held herself up with her arms. “It’s all so confusing we’re not exclusive or official or anything , but we sure act like it. She sleeps over so often that I even started making space for her stuff and we just...always talk and I see her every morning at ACup, but it’s not anything yet and I still sleep around even though I’m not so sure if I even want to anymore but I feel like I need to to get my mind off of her so I use that but...obviously that does not work.” Matt gestured to Reggie with a smirk

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie chewed the inside of her cheek at hearing Matt's concerns with taking the next step with Lara. They were legitimate concerns, mostly because Reggie had similar sentiments. But the fact Matt was willingly letting Lara in so much spoke a lot of volumes about her importance. Reggie looked over her shoulder just in time to catch Matt's gesture and she smiled with a small chuckle at the allusion to earlier. "Coming from one lesbian with trust issues to another, it at least sounds like you're on the right track for getting somewhere with her." Reggie stated with more assurance for her friend than true optimism. At her heart, Reggie was a pessimist, or at least had become one over the years. She got up from the bed and finally grabbed her shirt to put it back on. Hearing Matt's current romantic endevor made Reggie reflect on Matt's reaction to the news of Reggie and Harper hooking up. Matt had rarely been the "be careful with your hook ups" type, unless it was about dental dams. Seeing that she was in a relationship limbo put it in perspective, at least for Reggie, "Maybe you should listen to your head about not sleeping around though." Reggie suggested, standing at the foot of Matt's bed as she looked at her laying there. The idea of bedding her was long gone at this point, finding Matt's sincerity about Lara too endearing to continue. At least for tonight and with things as they were, "You're lucky you slipped up to someone so awesome and understanding— the next girl might not have the same attitude.” Reggie’s eyebrow quirked as she said it, almost as if trying to make it sound like a challenge she was seeing if Matt would meet, “Unless you plan to hook up with only girls named Lara, which might be hard, but not impossible." Reggie wasn’t a believer in telling people how to live their life. So it didn’t matter if Matt would or would not pick a definitive answer or even stick to it. Regardless of her choice, they would still be friends. Just maybe less naked ones.

MATT SOLÍS

Matt listened to Reggie’s words of advice and her perspective on Matt’s little weird version of a relationship, taking it all in—especially the part about not sleeping around anymore. As Matt felt her feelings for Lara getting stronger, Matt either slept around more than she should to think less about Lara or slept around less frequently. Matt figured she’d just find a happy medium until she figured out if she should take such a huge step for Lara. Especially when Matt was so sex positive and enjoyed having sex. And her and Lara’s bad luck with having sex didn’t exactly help convince Matt if it was a a good idea either. It was uncertainties like these that made Matt grateful she had people like Reggie who always gave her honest wisdom about anything. They were more than just hook up buddies, but also friends. So even if they stopped hooking up, Matt knew Reggie wouldn’t mind. Reggie was always honest with her, and she’d forever be grateful for that quality about her. Matt chuckled and shook her head. “You’ve put a bad idea into my head now, I might just start a name hunt in New York City.” She joked before biting her lip. “Thanks though, Reg. Even though I know you’ll never let it go for as long as we live, I’m glad I had this moment with you and not with anyone else. You can tell it at my wedding—not saying I’m marrying her or anything—you know what? Never mind. I’m just gonna shut the fuck up. One embarrassing moment is enough.” She laughed, shaking her head. “Oh Reggie, she’s fucking me up.” Matt ran a hand through her hair. “No wonder you managed to beat me at Mario Party. I knew it wasn’t my abilities at all.” Matt teased.

REGGIE CLIFFTON

Reggie laughed at Matt deciding to maybe try prowling for Lara's, fully ready to help her with the endevor. Mostly to see if it was possible, "Any idea I have is always a good one, that's what happens when you live your life as galaxy brain like I do." Reggie said with a casual shrug but a playful smile. She loosely crossed her arms in front of her, listening to Matt give a thanks and then go on to ramble. It had been a long, long time since she had subjected herself to someone feeling genuine feelings or another. Matt was always a very attractive person, but there was something softer about her when she talked about Lara that Reggie couldn't help but notice. Or at least appreciate seeing, "I can tell that she is, this was the most we've talked with clothes already being off." Reggie pointed out, though her tone was light and held no frustration at the situation. As she went to sit on the edge of the bed again, Reggie shook her head and rolled her eyes at Matt declaring the root of her loss was girl problems, "You can blame Lara for your own peace of mind, or we can play again right here right now and prove it." Reggie offered. Even if they weren't going to sleep together, Reggie wasn't about to leave just because of that. Matt was fun to hang out with, it didn't matter the content, "Since my time for Pillow Princess Matt isn't here, I'm going to whoop you butt so bad in Mario Party you'll never forget my name again." Reggie stated, confident in her abilities despite her win being in part to pure luck. She started to get herself off the bed but while still crouched, she quickly added, "And I'm going to pick Toad before you can." as she let her tongue stick out a little she before she raced off into the living room again without giving Matt time to get up and beat her to it.
