Bryan had known that he was gay and liked Reggie for a pretty good amount of time. Reggie, on the other hand was just starting to realize he liked Bryan. He probably should've already known but he had blown off the signs, like the feeling in the pit of his stomach when Bryan talked to that Matilda girl.

He remembered that he could tell even from the like, 5 second contact that his golden hair was very soft and that he wanted to run his hands through it.

Reggie had known, somewhere, in his brain or heart or whatever that those were excuses. His brain's main focus was on other things like school and vines so it was easy to excuse and ignore.
