Regpea

Regpea is the slash ship between Reggie and Sweet Pea from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon
Reggie and Sweet Pea have a calamitous first encounter. Sweet Pea shows up on Archie's doorstep after Archie threatened Sweet Pea with a gun on the Southside. Sweet Pea is understandably outraged, given how Archie is from the rich part of town, coming to terrorise the poorer side, which has always been derided by the Northside. However, he does so by threatening Archie right back and Reggie, who, along with the Bulldogs, are at Archie's house, steps up and challenges Sweet Pea to a fight, being against the Southside and eager to beat them down. The two groups ultimately decide to face off and meet up in the pouring rain. Reggie and Sweet Pea fight each other, but the fight's broken up by Veronica firing a gunshot in the air. Dilton has been stabbed in the thigh and Reggie rushes him to the hospital, planning to put the blame on the Southsiders, even though it seems Dilton stabbed himself. They both attend the drag race between the Serpents and the Ghoulies, but don't interact.

After Southside High is closed down, the students get transferred to Riverdale High. Sweet Pea and the other Serpents are jubilant at finally attending a good school, but are cautious as the enter Riverdale High. They are meet by a belligerent Reggie, who mouths off to them and tells them they're not welcome. He then threatens Sweet Pea who steps to him and they both seem ready to fight until Veronica steps between them. To try and get rid of them, Reggie graffitis the school emblem in the hallway and the principal takes the bait, ordering the Southside students not to wear their jackets. While Sweet Pea is angry along with the others, he doesn't make a move on Reggie in the situation.

Fanon
A rarepair owed to, once again, Riverdale's lack of screen time between its characters. Despite this, Sweet Pea is a popular character and so are his slash pairings. Regpea particularly because of the archaic macho bravado between them that lends itself seamlessly to homoeroticism.
