After a while of Betty staying at the trailer on and off, it was always odd whenever she didn’t stay the night. Those were usually the nights that Jughead spent writing, when he wasn’t encased in the secure arms of the blonde goddess he was dating. It gave him the time alone to get fully immersed in his writing and the words that formed on the screen in front of him at every tap of his fingers against the keyboard. Usually he sped through his writing alone; unless he was with Betty or his friends he enjoyed silence so it wasn’t like he wasn’t used to it, though this night he couldn’t seem to write anything. His blank document stared back at him as he pressed his lips against white clenched knuckles, unable to focus. He had been getting an odd feeling all night - one where you just knew something was wrong, and he hadn’t been able to shake it.

Before he could procrastinate any longer his phone buzzed on the coffee table beside his laptop as his ringtone swallowed the silence of the room, and he smiled slightly upon seeing it was his love calling. Before another loop of the obnoxious ringtone could fill the room he pressed answer and held the device against his ear.

“Juggie!” Betty pretty much yelled on the other end, earning a wince from Jughead at the volume, who held it a little away from his ear. “I miss you so much!” She giggled, her speech a little slurred together.

Jughead frowned. She had only meant to be staying at Veronica’s for the night, and it wasn't like the girls would drink together alone at the Pembrooke. “Are you drunk?” He asked anyways.

Betty simply giggled again, and it was then he could hear the generic pop song coming from the receiver as well as Betty’s voice, as well as a mix of conversation from other people. Many other people. “Kinda.” She responded coyly. “I haven’t had much to drink, Juggie, only a little.”

Jughead sighed and rubbed his free hand over his eyes as he leaned back in his seat. “You sound like you’ve had a lot. Are you at Veronica’s still? Can you put her on the phone?”

“Uh, no we’re at-” Betty cut herself off with a hiccup before she continued. “-Reggie’s house but Ronnie’s here!”

A few faint voices could be heard on the line before an almost rustling noise followed, Veronica’s voice soon filing his ear instead. “Jughead listen-”

“Is Betty okay?” He interrupted her as he frowned a little more. Betty had never even drank before, to his knowledge, and now she was drunk at a house party? Reggie Mantle’s house party? Of course he wouldn’t want to get in his girlfriend’s way of having fun, but she sounded pretty out of it when he had spoken to her, and he didn’t want her getting hurt or worse.

“She’s a bit tipsy. And by that I mean B’s absolutely wasted, she sucks at beer pong by the way.” Veronica tutted. “She’s been asking for you for like an hour, she only just found her phone with her coat.”

Jughead inhaled deeply through his nose and tipped his head back against the back of the sofa, trying not to get too annoyed or worried. Betty had wanted him for an hour whilst she was drunk and Veronica hadn’t called to tell him?

“Give me Reggie’s address. I’m coming to get her.”

The thumping of the bass from the generic pop song drummed through the house as Jughead walked into the house, tucking the key’s of his dad’s truck into his jacket pocket. He didn’t even want to risk letting a drunk Betty onto his bike. Too many accidents would be just waiting to happen.

As he pushed through the crowd of dancing and laughing high school students, most of which he recognised from Riverdale High, Jughead couldn’t help but think back to his own sixteenth birthday party that Betty had thrown in his sophomore year. He just hoped that this night didn’t end as horribly.

Surprisingly it didn’t take too long to find Betty in the house full of intoxicated teenagers. After walking through the front of the house he ended up in the kitchen, where Betty and Veronica were alone, spare a couple of other students who were taking shots on the other side of the room. Betty was sat on the counter with a red solo cup in her hands; Veronica stood beside her with her own cup as she laughed away at something. He took in the state of his girlfriend as he crossed the room to meet her, noticing more details as he got closer, the first thing he noticed was the silver and blue dress she was wearing. It was most definitely an item that she didn’t have in her wardrobe - something that Alice Cooper would highly disapprove of if she would have seen her daughter wearing it - so he had to guess the thigh length body-con came from Veronica. The next thing he noticed was her hair; blonde strands let loose over her shoulders and free from the usual ponytail, though it was slightly frizzy and more unkempt than he had seen it before, spare a few life-threatening situations that they had been in.

“Ladies.” Jughead sighed as he got to them, preparing himself for whatever drunken mess he was about to deal with, but he couldn’t help but smile slightly when he watched his girlfriend’s eyes light up when she saw him.

“Juggie! You came!” Betty cheered excitedly, wobbling as she climbed off of the counter before she wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

“Mhm.” He nodded, pressing a kiss to the crown of her head as he moved an arm around her. “We’re going back to mine, okay? You can sleep over.”

As he was speaking to Betty, he noticed over her shoulder as Veronica grabbed her coat and handed it to him, the raven-haired boy mouthing a thank you as he took it from her.

“What?” Betty whined and leaned back to look up at him, causing her to wobble though Jughead tightened his arm around her waist to make sure she didn’t lose her balance and fall backwards. “We can’t go! You just got here!”

“I know, love, but we have to. It’s late and you’ll feel horrible in the morning as it is.” He sighed. “I’ll go out with you next weekend if you really want. Okay?”

Betty looked like she was thinking about it for a moment as she tugged her glossed bottom lip between her teeth, before she just nodded and smiled. “Okay.” She giggled.

Jughead felt her hands slide underneath his unzipped jacket to rest against his sides as she leaned up a little to kiss him. He could smell the alcohol on her breath and could taste it on her lips as he kissed her, though refrained from deepening it any further and leaned his head back when Betty had tried to. She was very drunk and he wasn’t going to take advantage when she was in such a state.

“Come on, love. Let’s get you to bed.” Jughead pressed another kiss to her temple before he pulled away and handed Betty her coat, thanking Veronica as she slipped it on before he splayed his palm against the small of her back and led her out of the house.

“Did you have a good time?” He asked once they were in the quiet of the outside, slipping his arm around her waist when she kept wobbling to the point of worrying him that she would fall.

“Yeah.” Betty giggled and nodded. “Ronnie heard about the party and said we should go and it was-” She hiccuped again. “-really fun! I’m great at the ball game.”

“The ball game?” He tipped his head to the side to look at her as he got the truck keys out of his pocket to unlock the vehicle.

“Yeah! Y’know, the one with all the red cups and you’ve gotta drink the drinks. Cup basketball?”

“You mean beer pong?” Jughead asked with an amused smile.

“Yeah! Cup basketball!” She giggled.

Jughead chuckled and shook his head as he opened the passenger side door for Betty, gently gripping her forearm to help her into the seat and clipped her seatbelt, before he shut the door and joined her on the driver’s side.

“What does this do?” He heard her ask and looked over at her to see her messing with the lever beside her seat that adjusted it.

“It tips your seat back.” Jughead told her, and had to keep from laughing when she yanked the lever and tipped her seat all the way back so she was laying down.

Jughead started the car once he’d looked away from her and buckled his seatbelt, driving away from Reggie’s house soon after. He was surprised to find that the majority of the journey back to the South Side was in silence, with how talkative Betty had been inside, but every time he risked a glance her way she was just staring out of the window and watched the cars pass by their own. At some point she had reached her hand up and made a grabby motion towards his, and he smiled softly as he gently laced his fingers with hers and kept his other on the steering wheel.

“Juggie?” He heard from beside him just as he started driving into the South Side, humming in acknowledgement as he gave her hand a light squeeze. “Did you know that if you close your eyes… if you close your eyes you can’t see.” She giggled, and upon turning to look at her he could see that Betty had her eyes squeezed shut tightly.

“Really?” He asked simply just to amuse her, fondly rolling his eyes as he looked back at the road. “Fascinating.”

“I just blew your mind, didn’t I?” Betty asked and Jughead had to suppress a chuckle as he nodded.

“You sure did, sweetheart. You always do.”

By this point Jughead had pulled into the trailer park and parked the truck beside where his motorbike was, shutting off the engine before he unbuckled his seatbelt. “Let’s get you to bed, okay?” Betty simply hummed in response so Jughead got out of the car and walked around to her side and opened her door for her. She was still just laying down when he had gotten there so he leaned across her to unbuckle her seatbelt before he gently took her hands to help her sit up again.

“Hey!” Betty gasped oncs she’d sat up, a sudden burst of energy filling her. “You live here!” She leaned forwards to point at the trailer though leaned too far forwards and almost fell out of her seat, if it wasn’t for Jughead who had quickly moved his hands to her hips to steady her.

“Easy, love.” He chuckled and helped her out of the truck carefully before he returned his arm around her waist to keep her steady as he locked the vehicle behind him.

Betty stumbled beside him as he helped her up the stairs of the trailer and inside once had the door open, letting it close behind him. His laptop and notes were still strewn messily across the coffee table from earlier in the evening though he gave it no notice as he led his girlfriend through the small space to his bedroom, where she had slept a countless amount of times before.

“Juggie?” Betty giggled in what almost sounded like a sultry tone once they had reached the bedroom, and it caused Jughead to raise his eyebrows at her as he turned his head to look down at her with a hum of acknowledgement.

Betty didn’t return with an audible response, and instead slipped her hands underneath his jacket again as she leaned up to kiss him just like she had done at the party. Though unlike the party she moved her hands to grip the lapels of his jacket and pulled him closer against herself, deepening the kiss before he could pull away. Jughead groaned lowly into her mouth as her teeth nipped at her bottom lip and as much as he didn’t want to, he moved his hands to rest on either side of his face as he pulled away with a sigh.

“Betty, you’re drunk.” He stated with a newly found seriousness that he hadn’t had in the car.

“So?” Betty whined and leaned up on her tiptoes again, only to be met with his hands on her hips to keep her at a slight distance.

“So I’m not going to take advantage of you whilst you’re drunk.” Jughead explained, and watched as she frowned though nodded her head.

He sighed and pressed a kiss to the top of her head before he looked down at her as he took his hands away from her as he slipped his jacket off of his shoulders.

“We’ll get you changed and into bed, okay? Then you can sleep, you must be tired.” He said softly, tilting his head a little as he looked at her.

“I’m not tired.” Betty defended with a giggle and shook her head, though Jughead simply raised his eyebrows at her, his expression screaming I don’t believe you.

“Whatever you say, love, let’s just get you changed anyways okay? That dress can’t be too comfortable.” He lightly brushed his hand across one of the straps before he pulled away from her and walked across the room to grab one of his shirts for her to sleep in.

“It’s Veronica’s.” Betty told him simply as he walked back over to her with the shirt.

“I know, love, it’s not your usual style.” Jughead chuckled and nodded, before he placed the shirt on the edge of his bed and lightly touched her arm. “Need help getting this off?”

“Mhm? There’s a zipper.” Betty nodded. “Just don’t break it because Veronica won’t be too happy.” Betty giggled, and wobbled a little though for the most part she stayed completely still as Jughead moved behind her to unzip the dress and slipped the straps off of her shoulders, letting the material pool at her feet.

“Want this off too?” Jughead asked as he lightly touched the side of her bra, knowing it would just be uncomfortable for her to sleep in though he still wanted to check. He waited for Betty to nod in confirmation before he carefully unclasped the clips and let it drop to the floor with the dress, an action he’d done countless times before, just in a different situation. “Okay, arms up beautiful.” He tapped her upper arm as he grabbed his shirt before he stood back in front of her again, helping her arms through the sleeves once she had held them up before her head through it too, pulling it down so it’d be on her properly.

“Hey this is yours.” She giggled and gestured to the shirt once she had it on, causing him to fondly roll his eyes again as he nodded.

“Yeah it’s mine.” He chuckled, as if he hadn’t been holding the shirt before.

Jughead helped her step out of the dress before he sat her on the edge of her bed, handing her an unopened water bottle that was on his side. “Here, love.” He opened the cap for her before he moved across the room to gather her clothes neatly for her to get the day after.

By the time he’d come back to Betty she’d gulped half of the water and was trying to put the lid back on, which he helped her with when he saw her struggling to do just that. Looking at her expression he couldn’t tell if she was sobering up or not, but she was definitely tired, noted by the dropping of her eyelids every so often before she forced them open again.

Jughead placed the bottle of water on the bedside table before he pulled back the covers and helped Betty get into the bed, her eyelids drooping again as her head hit the pillow. “I’ll be back in a moment, Juliet.” He pressed a kiss against her forehead and watched as she nodded before he pulled the covers up and stepped out of the room for a moment.

After years of dealing with his dad’s drinking, he knew how bad the hangover would be for Betty. And he knew it would probably be worse considering it was her first time drinking. Jughead stepped into the extremely small bathroom of the trailer and turned on the light, ignoring as it flickered as he opened the medicine cabinet and pulled out a pill bottle of Tylenol that hadn’t been used since he needed them after facing the gauntlet. He checked the dosage on the back of the pot just to be sure before he tipped out two into his hand and put the pot back into the cabinet and closed it, shutting off the light as he made his way back into his bedroom.

A soft smile painted across his lips when he saw Betty peacefully asleep, thankful he wasn’t going to have to convince her of that too. He carefully dropped the pills on the bedside table beside the bottle of water before he got changed into his own pyjamas and got into the bed beside her after he shut off the light, not taking too long to fall asleep himself once he’d pulled Betty closer and held her until he drifted off.

He was woken the next morning by a quiet groan in his ear, and blinked a little as he came to his senses. Betty gripped onto his white tank top as she pressed her face against his neck, another quiet groan leaving her lips as she used her free hand to rub the side of her head. Jughead frowned at the state of her, realising she had a headache.

“Hey,” he whispered, and although she didn’t look at him he knew she’d heard him, her head tilting slightly at the sound of his voice. “You okay?”

“No,” Betty whimpered, sounding close to tears, which made him frown a bit more. “It feels like I got hit in the head really hard.”

“I’m sorry love.” Jughead sighed and pressed a kiss to the top of her head before he pulled away from her just enough to reach up and grab the bottle and Tylenol. “Take these.”

Betty turned her head and sat up to take them, her eyebrows knitted together as she sat up properly. “Thank you.” She mumbled as she put the pills in her mouth, having some water to swallow them before she placed the water back down as she sighed and rubbed her temples with her palms.

Jughead laid back into the bed and held his arm out for her to settle into, smiling softly once she was pressed against his side and in his arms. His arm curled around her waist to bring her closer as his free hand lifted up to brush some loose blonde strands out of her eyes, the action causing her eyes to flutter shut. “Do you remember any of last night?”

“Some of it.” Betty whispered in response, opening her eyes back up to look at him as she moved one of her arms around his waist to stay even closer to him. “It’s all a bit fuzzy. I don’t remember getting into bed.” She sighed and shook her head before she winced. “I didn’t say anything stupid, did I?”

“No,” Jughead shook his head as he started smirking a little. “But hey, did you know that if you close your eyes you can’t see?” He asked teasingly and chuckled.

Betty groaned as she hid her head against his neck again, causing him to laugh a little more. “I’m sorry.” She whined.

“It’s fine, love, it was pretty funny.” He chuckled.

“No, I’m sorry about all of it.” Betty clarified, and this time Jughead’s expression softened a little.

“It’s nothing, love. I wasn’t just going to leave you at Reggie’s place alone and drunk.”

“Yeah but…” Betty trailed off and sighed, something that kept Jughead’s attention as he waited for her to form the words. “I know what you went through with your dad drinking and I’m sorry I was like that, I shouldn’t have called you in the first place it was stupid of me, I-“

“Hey hey hey,” Jughead cut off her rambling with a gentle hand on the side of her face, guiding her eyes up to meet his. “You don’t need to apologise, sweetheart. You and my dad are completely different things, okay? It didn’t bother me.” He explained, and watched as she visibly relaxed at his answer.

“Okay.” She sighed and smiled in relief.

“I love you, I’ll always be there to take care of you.” Jughead smiled and leaned down to lightly kiss her for a long moment, feeling warm at the soft expression on her face once he’d pulled away.

“I love you too.” Betty whispered and nodded. “Thank you for coming to get me.”

“It’s no problem, love.” Jughead shook his head, pressing his lips against her forehead. “Any time.”

song fic request: for a boy by raelynn for reggie

[A/N: Just a quick one, I’m not sure how this is? I suppose the fic speaks for what my interpretation of the song is, I wanted to get the feel of the song rather than do a verse by verse kind of thing but it roughly follows that kind of pattern anyway! Enjoy

Reggie X Reader - For A Boy

He sat across from you with a wide eye gaze, his smile told you everything you needed to know.

I love you.

You were sat on the very edge of your seat, hanging on to every word that fell from his lips.

Hushed whispers, inside jokes, murmurs of love and adoration.

Anyone would think you were teenage sweethearts, blissfully unaware of the pain that heartbreak could offer you. Those who knew you better would know of your messy and turbulent relationship, the constant fights, the jealously, the uncertainty.

He grabbed you by the arm and spun you around to face him, your tiny body was fuelled by a red hot rage. Ripping your arm from his grip you were ready to attack, ready to lay punch after punch into his solid form. He had both your arms pinned to your sides in a bone crushing hug before you had the chance to even consider it.

The gentle soothing of his large palms roaming across the expanse of your back was almost enough to calm the bubbling fire within you. His silence telling you all you needed to know.

I’m sorry.

Laying in his king-size bed, bodies and breaths perfectly synchronised, your finger drew delicate patterns upon his bare chest. He let out a quiet sigh, his dark hair caught in the crossfire of the breeze was blown lazily in front of his eyes. The hand that lazily drew patterns on his chest came up slowly and pushed the hair from his face; his eyes were soft and sleepy and his lips caught your palm as pulled your hand away.

‘What is this?’ Came his exhausted voice.

You hesitated. This was everything: this was perfect and messy, hot and cold, black and white. He was everything you ever wanted and something you could never have. When it was good it was good and it was bad - man was it awful, but God could it be something great.

‘It’s just some fun, right?’ Your answer was calm and collected, or at least you hoped.

‘Right.’ He murmured, your words telling him all he needed to know.

I’m scared.

He hadn’t asked you but really you couldn’t blame him. You had been too chicken shit to admit that you wanted more, so much more. He had given up on you and for good reason, you had accepted that, but still when he walked in with Veronica Lodge hanging from his arm it hit you in the chest like a tonne of bricks.

You slunk to the back of the hall hoping the blue and gold streamers would mask your identity, watching from the shadows as he escorted Veronica from group to group. He laughed when he had to laugh, smiled for pictures when it was asked of him, and placed swooping kisses on his dates cheek. You bit hard on your lip to stop the tears that were threatening to spill down your cheeks, you tasted the sharp metallic tang of blood and realised you had broken skin.

Weaving between the crowds, you knew the safest place to be was a bathroom right now - more specifically a closed off cubicle in which you could cry to your heart’s content. You swung open the double doors of the hall and the cool breeze of the empty corridor hit your face. The calling of your name stopped you in your tracks. The tears you so desperately needed to shed were falling freely down your cheeks now.

A warm hand weighed heavily on your shoulder, turning you to face the owner of the voice, his breath hitched and your name fell from his lips once more. Your tears told him all needed to know.

I love you.

Riverdale OC Masterlist

(several of these ocs may end up getting scrapped entirely, but I’m not ready to commit to that yet so they’re on the list for now)

Name: Amethyst Andrews

Story: (Cast Not Your Stone at the) Wayward Daughter

Series: (Child, They’re) Seeking Weakness Tonight

AO3 | FFNET | WATTPAD

Face claim: Kaya Scodelario

Love interest: queerplatonic poly Serpents, endgame romantic Sweet Pea & Jughead Jones

Summary: Amethyst Adams was 8 years old when her father died, 12 when she joined the Serpents, and 15 when her adoptive father, Fred Andrews, was shot in a diner. Between trying to run a gang, keep her family alive, and maybe, just maybe, not die along the way, her return to Riverdale never had a chance of going smoothly.

Name: Aaliya Andrews

Story: My Brother’s Keeper

Series: (In Their Triumph Die) Like Fire And Powder

Face claim: Danielle Rose Russell

Love Interest: Jason Blossom; eventual Sweet Pea & Fangs Fogarty

Summary: Aaliya Andrews loved her brother more than anything, and she would do anything for him; even keep her summer a secret. Archie didn’t need to know that she’d joined the Southside Serpents towards the end of their freshman year, he didn’t need to know that she’d done a strip show in a sketchy biker bar to earn the jacket that she hid in the back of her closet, and he definitely didn’t need to know that she’d started that fateful Fourth of July by waking up in bed with Jason Blossom. But then sophomore year starts, and with that comes cheerleading and football, playing guitar and talking about going professional, her boyfriend’s - now ex boyfriend’s, she’d suppose - body being found in the river, and an investigation that threatens to reveal every secret she’s ever kept.

Name: Abigail Adler

Face claim: Hailee Steinfeld

Fic: Swan Song

Love Interest: Archie Andrews

Name: Addison “Addy” Blake

Face claim: Troian Bellisario

Fic: Alike In Dignity

Series: (From Ancient Grudge) Break To New Mutiny

Love Interest: Sweet Pea & Toni Topaz

Summary: Addison Blake had it all. Class president at Greendale Prep, captain of the field hockey team, reigning champion of Riverdale’s Country Club’s teen tennis tournament, all around top girl. But when a shocking scandal shuts her school down and she’s forced to start at Riverdale High, she’s less than impressed—especially when she learns that an entire gang is transferring there too. When one of the boys catches her eye, she tells herself that she can resist the electricity she feels, but something is hanging in the stars, and star crossed lovers have never had a chance.

Name: Adelynn Andrews-Smith

Story: Abyss

Face claim: Phoebe Tonkin

Summary: Back in 2000, Mary Andrews was told that she could never have kids; and so, she and Fred looked into adoption. They found eight year old Adelynn Smith; and despite her temper and how many families had given up on her, they knew that she was perfect for their little family. And when Mary miraculously got pregnant with Archie a couple of years later, they were thrilled that their family was going to grow. And for several years, everything was perfect. They knew, and Adelynn knew, who her parents were; they allowed and encouraged her to develop her relationship with her father; and they always listened when she talked about her long-since adopted twin brother. And when, shortly after Fred is shot, Adelynn tells them that the Chic claiming to be Charles Smith is definitely not her brother, they listen.

Name: Alina Allan

Story: Violent Delights

Face claim: Krysten Ritter

Love Interest: FP Jones

Name: Ally Andrews

Story: Home Again

Series: (Make This Place) Your Home

Face claim: Adelaide Kane

Name: Amber Andrews

Story: Petrichor

Face claim: Kennedy McMann

Name: Anastasia Andrews

Story: Say I’m In Too Deep

Series: (Cause I’ve Still Got) A Lot of Fight Left in Me

AO3 | FFNET | WATTPAD

Face claim: Abigail Cowen

Love interest: Jughead Jones

Summary: Starting high school was supposed to be fun, right? Apparently whoever said that had never found their brother hooking up with the pedophilic music teacher on their first day, but Anastasia Andrews could tell you from experience, that ruined it. And if Archie was lying about his relationship with Grundy, could that mean he was also lying about July 4th? She might not care about Jason Blossom, but she cared about protecting her brother, and if the best way to do that was to team up with Jughead Jones to solve the case themselves, well, she’d do it.

Name: Angela DeSantos

Story: Gold Lie Promises

Face claim: Sofia Carson as Evie

Love interest: Veronica Lodge

Summary: Angela De Santos was a born Serpent, although she and her twin brother didn’t officially join until they were thirteen. She loved the Serpents, she really did, and she would do anything for them. So when her brother got roped into disposing of Jason Blossom’s body, she kept her mouth shut; when he got assigned to seduce the Keller kid to keep an eye on the investigation, she gave him a folder of research on all of his interests and hobbies; and when she got assigned to seduce the Lodge heiress to keep an eye on her parents? Well, it’d hardly be the worst thing she’s done for the gang, so long as she can keep her own feelings out of the mix.

Summary: By fifteen, Barbie Booth already had her eye on the prize: early admission to Tisch for musical theatre, followed by an upper east side apartment with her best friend Veronica Lodge - who would be studying business at Columbia, and then starring as Elle Woods in a revival of Legally Blonde The Musical. But her plan didn’t include Veronica’s dad getting arrested, and her other half moving to some bumfuck town called Riverdale, leaving her alone for her sophomore year at Spence. And it definitely didn’t account for her parents up and moving them to Riverdale, for reasons that they refused to explain. But at least she’d be with Ronnie again, and at least Ronnie told her that Riverdale High wasn’t as bad as they’d imagined. But then they get to Riverdale, and her plans really go to shit -not only did her parents not research the town that they were moving to, but they bought a house on the south side of the town, dooming her to the rundown school on the wrong side of the tracks, riddled with gangs, murder investigations and, worst of all, no musical theatre program.

So when the Archers showed up, looking to foster a child, they knew they had to take the pair. Growing up on the Southside brought them closer, and the duo found themselves joining the Serpents together and quickly embracing their new names; Adder, dangerous but only when provoked, and Asp, unassuming but volatile and lethal. But even after they joined the gang, found themselves an extended family in the form of rough around the edge bikers, they were always closest with each other.

Face claim: Nina Dobrev

Summary: Everyone at Riverdale High had heard of the infamous Serpent, Lilith Lane, and the equally dangerous Ghoulie, Carter. But no one would have guessed that they were the same person, let alone that she was their very own Carter Lane.

Carter “Lilith” Lane was something completely unheard of in Riverdale - a Ghoulie and a Serpent. Born to parents in rival gangs, she’s never really known who she was. Lilith Lane didn’t deal anything harder than weed; she was a party girl; she was very vocal about hating the Serpent Dance. Carter was the best drug dealer in town; a street racing champion; a part time stripper. And Carter Lane? She was little more than a ghost; a River Vixen who hated Cheryl Blossom, the main supplier for Bulldog parties who never showed up herself; someone who everybody knew of but who nobody knew.

It had always been easy to keep those parts of herself separate. And then summer came around; Carter Lane got emancipated, Carter moved into the House Of The Dead, and Lilith Lane dumped Jason Blossom’s body into Sweetwater River. And she’s fine.

But then school starts up again, and when Jughead Jones decides to investigate the events of the summer, her worlds start to collide.

They didn’t know that, when Archie bailed last minute, she was the one FP went to, whom he begged to get Jughead out of town for the summer. And even she didn’t know why, didn’t know what dark secrets he was trying to protect them from. But she agreed, and found herself embarking on a cross country road trip with Jughead Jones.

But she wasn’t a teenage biker gang member anymore. No, she had left that behind her when she was eighteen, when she moved to New York, when she began to climb the ladder as an Upper East Side socialite.

First, she meets a boy in the projection booth who’s writing a novel about the murder; then she meets a man who turns out to be that boy’s father, her mom’s childhood best friend, and a gang leader - a gang that her mom is apparently a part of; finally she meets another boy, one with a snake tattooed on his neck and an undeniable magnetism.

Love interest: Sweet Pea & Jughead Jones

Summary: Evan Fogarty has been affectionately known as “Fairy” by the Serpents since she was nine years old, trailing after her brother and his best friend. It was Sweet Pea who came up with it, thought it was fitting for the sweet girl who paired a leather jacket with pastels, a switchblade with her ice capps, and razor blades with her pigtails, and honestly? She loved it. The Serpents, her family, knew that she was a lot tougher than she let on, but the Northsiders constantly underestimated her. They hear the nickname and expect an airhead child, not a girl who’s been taking care of her sick mother since she was ten. They expect a naïve fool, not the brains to her brother’s brawn. And yeah, she’d rather make peace with the Northsiders than start an all our turf war, but if that’s what’s happening, she’ll still be on the front lines. And when FP Jones is arrested for a murder she knows he didn’t commit, Evan knows that war has finally come to Riverdale.

Shortly after Jughead was born, Gladys Jones was told that she could no longer have kids. Devastated, she and FP were quick to look into adoption, and found the perfect addition to their family; Francesca.

Francesca Paige Jones grew up on the Southside with her brother Jughead and their miracle sister Jellybean, although she chose to stay on the Southside and not interact with the other side of town, despite knowing that she had a twin sister and biological parents somewhere across the tracks, despite knowing that Jughead was even friends with her twin. But then Gladys and Jellybean move to Toledo, Jughead leaves home, FP helps dispose of Jason Blossom’s body, and suddenly the Northside is paying attention to them. She would have been perfectly happy to fly under the radar, to continue to pretend that she had no ties to the Northside, had she not come face to face with a mirror image of herself named Betty Cooper.

Summary: If there was one thing that Ivy Verona was good at, it was lying. She lied to the Northsiders; she said she was Northside pure, that her guardian was an accountant, that she’d never even heard of the Whyte Wyrm. She lied to the Southside too; she said she was flunking all her major classes, said cheerleading was only a front, said she planned to stay in Riverdale the rest of her life. And then there was the lie that she told the entire town - that she had no idea what might’ve happened to Jason Blossom.

Only her uncle FP and best friend Joaquin knew the truth. She’d been Jason’s dealer; she’d brought him to the Wyrm; she’d watched him die, and then washed away his blood; she dumped his body in the river and pretended it never happened.

But the biggest lie she told was to herself - that Jason Blossom’s death was not her fault.

But when she finally files for divorce, she realizes that she can’t keep her daughter in the middle of it, and moves her to Riverdale. She tells her boss that it’s to write an exposé on the small town now rife with crime and corruption–a girl had just been murdered during a school musical, after all–, she tells her cousin Fred that it’s for her daughter’s sake, and she tells the town that it’s to get away from her husband.

Only five years old, Kit was shipped off to The Sisters Of Quiet Mercy, out of sight, out of mind.

Name: Olivia Cooper

Story: Walls Come Tumbling Down

Series: (Does It Almost Feel Like) Nothing Changed At All

Faceclaim: Lily Collins

Love Interest: Sweet Pea & Fangs Fogarty

Summary: As much as Olivia Cooper loved her sisters, and she truly did, it often felt like she was living with strangers. While Betty and Polly were thick as thieves, she never quite fit in. But she still knew her sisters better than anyone, and she knew that Polly wasn’t sick. No matter what their parents said, she knew her twin and she knew that something wasn’t quite right. She just never expected her investigation to bring her face to face with two magnetic Southside Serpents, and she definitely never expected to find herself feeling more at home with them than she ever had with her sisters. But that won’t stop her from finding out the truth about Polly, no matter how many secrets get revealed along the way.

Name: Pandora Peabody

Story: The Snake Whisperer

Series: (It Isn’t In) My Blood

Face claim: Ashley Benson

Love interest: Poly Serpents

Summary: Everyone on the Southside knew Panda Peabody, daughter of the Snake Charmer, Penny Peabody herself. A king pin in the making, Panda was virtually untouchable, and she had her mom’s talent for business. But instead of dealing in favours, she deals in secrets.

Everyone on the Northside knows Pandora Patterson, the aloof queen bee herself. Pandora isn’t popular the way that Cheryl Blossom is, through a desperate grasp at the social ladder, but rather because she’s so disinterested. She walks like she owns the halls, she keeps to herself, and she knows everything about everyone.

While the Serpents knew that their own Snake Whisperer was a student at Riverdale High, dealing in both secrets and drugs, the Bulldogs had no idea that their It Girl was not only a Serpent, but the one most capable of destroying all of them.

Face claim: Carlson Young

Love Interest: Sweet Pea & Toni Topaz

Summary: Presley Palmer wasn’t just a normal Northsider. No, she was the peak of the Northside. Raised by a single father who was as rich as the Blossoms, in a sprawling mansion near Thornhill, and Cheryl Blossom’s best friend and co-captain of the River Vixens, she was the girl that every Northsider wanted to be or to be with. But, as popular and social as they were, Presley and Cheryl were equally insular. It was always, only, the two of them; ice and water; Queen Pres and Cherry; Presley and Cheryl. Two sides of the same coin, they knew everything about each other.

Well, not everything. Cheryl didn’t know about the snake tattoo that Presley covered up every day; she didn’t know that on the other side of town, Presley Palmer was known as Prissy Peabody, the only daughter of the infamous Snake Charmer; and she most certainly didn’t know that it would be Jughead Jones’ investigation into her brother’s disappearance that would bring those secrets to life.

Summary: Maybe Rayne Rivers wasn’t the most popular Serpent, or the most feared Serpent, or anything special whatsoever by her gang’s standards, but she was loyal. Loyal enough that FP Jones asked her, personally, to help deal with Jason Blossom’s body. Loyal enough that she did so without question, without complaint. Loyal enough that now that his body has been found, Rayne would sooner die than give her up her gang’s secrets. But in a town like Riverdale, be careful what you wish for.

Summary: The youngest of the Blossom siblings, Rose had always been the most spoiled. Affectionately, and mockingly, referred to as Princess Blossom, she was everything a Northsider, everything a Blossom should be. Of course, things started to fall apart when her brother disappeared, but when she joined the River Vixens, things seemed to be getting back on track. At least they were, until her brother’s body is found with a bullet hole in his head. Unsure of what to do next, Rose runs. She runs and runs until she finds herself on the Southside, falling into the arms of a tall, dark, and handsome stranger who goes by Sweet Pea. And then there’s the question of Jughead Jones, and the magnetic attraction she feels towards him. The cycle always ends the same way; a Jones and a Blossom, a Serpent and a Blossom, but by god, Rose will make sure that she’s not Riverdale’s next tragic Juliet.

She had the Serpent jacket that she’d been wearing for ten years and the nickname she’d had for even longer - and god help anyone who used her real name. She had fifteen years of ballet lessons under her belt and an upcoming audition for Juilliard.

But everything is on the line when she gets sent to Riverdale High to keep an eye on Jughead Jones. It would have been fine, if he hadn’t decided to investigate the disappearance of Jason Blossom.

It would have been fine, if she didn’t know the truth about what happened.

It would have been fine, if she hadn’t watched her father shoot him.

His son.

Her brother.

Summary: Skating was, and had always been, Samantha Cooper’s entire life. But not by choice. No, as much as she had always loved skating, it was her mother who had forced her to focus her entire life on perfection, on the Olympics. It was her mother who didn’t let her have friends, or hobbies; who didn’t even want her to go to a proper school. And Samantha really didn’t mind skating being her priority, but she’d always wanted a real life. And when Alice pushes too far, when Samantha runs off in the middle of the night, right into the arms of two tall, dark, and handsome boys from the wrong sides of the track, she may finally get her chance.

Well, as Shakespeare would say, the course of true love never did run smooth.

Summary: Identity was fickle, as far as Tanya was concerned. To some she was Tanya Trent, a first generation serpent whose mother was the principal of Southside High, until the Black Hood killed her. To others she was Tanya Svenson, a Southside punk whose father was the janitor at Riverdale High, until he was killed for being the Black Hood. To herself she was Tanya Conway, a teenage girl who knew that the Cooper family had killed her dad’s family; who knew that, even after they divorced, her dad loved her mom; who knew that, no matter what anyone said, her dad wasn’t the Black Hood. And now she’s just Tanya, a scared but stubborn girl with no sense of identity who’s just been sent to Riverdale High with her fellow Serpents, armed with nothing but the snake tattooed on her back and the need to clear her father’s name.

Summary: Victoria Lodge was the black sheep of the Lodge family. She didn’t care about the constant parties or connections, she didn’t particularly like her dad, she’d never even watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and oh, right, she had no interest in being a mob princess. Maybe that’s why she’s the only one looking forward to moving to Riverdale–until she realizes she’s walked onto the set of a real life murder mystery, and even her parents are suspects.

Serendipity - Part One

Pairing: Sweet Pea x Reader

Words: 1900ish

Warnings: Mentions of violence, death, suicide, implied smut

Summary: Sweet Pea and Y/N are on different paths in life, yet something keeps bringing them back together.

Notes: I read a Bughead fic that gave me this idea and I fell in love with it! Unfortunately I can’t find the fic to tag it, so if anyone knows the one I’m talking about and can send me a link, please do!

Ser-en-dip-it-y; finding something good without looking for it.

Sweet Pea was five when he first saw her.

The world was still all so new to him and he was itching to discover every bit of it. His Father was away again, fighting in some foreign country, making his little family proud, while his Mother, kind and compassionate, devoted every second of her time to looking after and loving her son.

She always wanted the best for him, and that included sending him to kindergarden in a Northside school while everyone he knew was back on the Southside. But that was okay, because that’s where he met her.

She was all messy (y/h/c) pigtails, and big (y/e/c), with a wicked smile. A smile he came to adore.

She had been the first to speak to him. The other kids had resorted to ignoring him, too afraid of his basic clothes, his already towering height and the place he called home. Even back then kids had been cruel, but not her. Never her.

She bounced over to him, the same smile that was now engraved on his mind, wide on her face. Her friendliness startled him, he’d never been friends with a girl before. Well other than Toni Topaz, and she didn’t count, not really. But he had Fangs Fogarty, his best friend, and that’s all he needed.

Only now he didn’t have Fangs, and he’d spent the last hour playing alone, while others had avoided his gaze. But she had come along, one last shining light of hope with a hand stretched out waiting for him.

So he took it.

And the pair quickly became inseparable.

At only ten years old, a darkness already loomed over a young Sweet Pea.

4 years ago, his Dad had left to fight overseas and never came home. His dog tags, the one thing linked to him that Sweet Pea could bare to keep, hung heavy around his neck as a constant reminder.

3 years ago, consumed by grief, his Mother suffered a mental break down, and she too had left this world, unable to go on. A picture of her smiling, a distant memory for Sweet Pea, lay under his pillow.

3 years ago, Sweet Pea had found himself suddenly, completely alone in this world. 3 years ago he moved in with Fangs and his Grandmother and made the decision to swap his Northside education and everything that came with it, including her, for a Southside one. 3 years ago he gained a whole new family within a gang called the Southside Serpents and learnt they weren’t at all like everyone said.

They had taken him in at his lowest point, protected him, cared for him, and eventually he became one of them.

A trainee Southside Serpent.

Fang’s Father was a Serpent, his grandfather had been a Serpent, it was his best friends legacy, and it was now, his too.

The two boys spent their evenings and weekends helping the older members with odd jobs and little errands. As a special reward for their hard work, the leader of the gang, FP Jones, had decided to treat them both, alongside his son Jughead, to a day trip at the park on the opposite side of the tracks, to let them be normal kids for a little while and that’s when he saw her again.

Y/N.

She hadn’t changed much, same bubbly energy and beaming smile that he spotted first before anything. She was prettier than he had remembered, or maybe he’d never seen her in that way before, but the thought of it made his cheeks burn.

He wondered if he stayed at the edge of the play park would she see him from the swings? Would she notice him, remember him even? Would she come and say hello?

But Sweet Pea never got the chance to find out. Instead he watched as her eyes widened in horror, her shrieks evident over the loud noise of the other kids as a boy behind her pushed her higher and higher despite her begging him to stop. A panic washed over Sweet Pea as she clung onto the swing, hands shaking and he did the one thing he could think of.

He marched straight up to the boy, and punched him square in the nose, knocking him off his feet.

Fangs watched from his spot in shock.

FP tried his best to fight the smirk playing on his lips.

The boy jumped to his feet and ran off, hand covering his now bloody nose.

And Sweet Pea just stood there, fist still clenched at his side, as his small chest visibly raised up and down with every harsh breath. Anger still radiated from him, only subsiding when she wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice whispering his name in his ear.

She did remember him.

Sweet Pea doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to forget the way she smelt that day, or the way she placed an innocent kiss to his cheek as she gushed about how he was her hero and that she’d missed him all this time.

Her words had him burning scarlet red and Fangs and Jughead would tease him later about it but he didn’t care.

Because that day he found something he’d lost a long time ago.

Hope.

And she had helped him find it.

Hope that maybe one day, things could get better.

Hope that one day, maybe he’ll be happy again.

Sweet Pea didn’t see her again until they were both seventeen, two teenagers desperate to find themselves.

Southside High had recently been shut down and Sweet Pea had found himself shoved back into a Northside school, his peers once again judging him for his background and now the snake he wore on his back.

Veronica Lodge had decided to throw a ‘Welcoming Party’ with Jughead in hopes of easing the tension between Riverdale High’s Bulldogs and the Serpents, and for some reason Sweet Pea found himself there, even though he was certain it would just end up in another fight with Reggie Mantle.

But then Y/N had walked in and Sweet Pea didn’t care about anything else.

He watched as she made her way through the small crowd that had started gathering with Betty Cooper, laughing as she pulled a face when Betty reached Jug and started to kiss him in front of everyone.

He watched as her eyes roamed around the room, bored, until they met his.

And then she smiled.

That smile that had Sweet Pea’s breath hitching in his throat and he couldn’t help but return the grin as she instantly made her way to him. He wondered if she could feel the way his heart hammered in his chest as she hugged him, her fingertips brushing against the tattoo on his neck.

Sweet Pea talked to her for hours, listening to her tell him about her life. He adored the way her eyes would light up as she talked about her friends, her family, her ambitions. She told him about her goals, and her plans to study in Europe when she finished school and he wished he had the same outlook on life that she did.

The alcohol flowed as easily as the conversation between them and Sweet Pea couldn’t find it in him to object when she laced her fingers with his, demanding that the two danced to a song she claimed was one of her favourites. He swayed on his feet, his fingertips clinging onto her waist as he had an ache in chest that he’d never felt before.

And as if she had read his mind, she reached up on her tiptoes, oblivious to the looks of those around them, as she pulled his head to meet hers, their lips colliding and Sweet Pea couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t believe it when they spent the night together. Or when he woke up the next morning to find her in his arms, head against his chest and legs tangled with his. Or when she offered to treat him to breakfast at Pops when she opened her eyes, hair a mess and last nights make up smudged on her face, looking just as adorable as ever. Or when it happened again. And again. And again.

But that’s when he felt it.

That hope that she always gave him, a hope of a better future.

The hope that maybe he wasn’t so damned after all.

Five years later, at the age of twenty two, Sweet Pea would be lying if he said he didn’t find himself still thinking of her at times.

At eighteen she’d left to chase her dreams in another country, leaving Riverdale and Sweet Pea behind. He taking comfort in the fact that she had given him the opportunity to join her but he chosen to stay. He belonged in Riverdale, with Fangs, with Toni, with the Serpents. But that didn’t stop his heart shattering at their final goodbyes, the taste of both their salty tears lingering on his lips after their last kiss, remembering the forced smile she’d given him as he waved her off.

He’d tried to move on, of course he had, but no one had ever compared to his Y/N and he found himself doubting anyone ever would. So he gave up, moved on with his life in other ways and found himself living in the same routine for the last three years.

He’d wake up in an empty bed, leave his apartment that he shared with Fangs every morning, spend the next few hours at the garage fixing what ever car had rolled in that day, and then end the evening with one too many drinks and a few rounds of pool at the Wyrm.

Only that evening was different. Fangs had text him, told him to come straight to the bar, no delays and Sweet Pea found himself rushing his last job, sneaking off early to see what was so important. When he walked through the door, grease stained t-shirt still on because he’d skipped getting changed to save time, the last person he’d expected to see was her.

Even with her sun kissed skin and dyed hair she was still the same Y/N. She still had the same kind of smile that had goosebumps forming on his skin and his heart feeling like it might burst.

He started to laugh when she pounced at him, arms wrapping around his neck, bodies fitting together so perfectly it was like they were almost made for each other. She whispered his name into the crock of his neck, sending shivers down his spine and he knew he never wanted her to leave again.

They stayed by each other’s sides for the rest of the night, as if no one else was in the room. Their knees touched as they drunk shots at the bar, their eyes locked as they played the game of pool she’d challenged him to, their bodies meshed together on the dance floor when Toni played a song that reminded them of a house party five years ago. Then when it was time to leave, their fingertips tangled together, the two of them knowing where it was heading even though they also both knew she had a flight to catch the next day.

When Sweet Pea woke up the next morning with a dry mouth and a pounding headache he was glad not to be alone. But then she woke up too, and reality set in, his heart breaking even more the second time around as their goodbyes mirrored their first and he had no idea how he’d get over it this time.

But that didn’t stop him having hope that maybe, one day, they’d fall back together again.

Finally got to finishing a new fic! enjoy!! If you wanna read it here instead of on the link, here you go:

Veronica swayed with Archie, rocking side to side as a slow, sappy song played just a little too loudly from the speakers. Archie couldn’t take his eyes off of Veronica. She couldn’t bring hers to meet him. She felt his hands press on the small of her back and she tried not to jolt, shrinking away from his grip.

“You having fun, Ronnie?”

“Mhmm.” Veronica gave a weak smile back at him, nodding, then looking away, searching the rest of the dancefloor for Betty and Jughead.

She felt guilty. She told Archie she’d go to the homecoming dance with him, but Veronica couldn’t bring herself to enjoy this at all. She knew Archie wanted something more from this, and she thought she did too, but the attraction she felt towards him, like those seven minutes in heaven and those early moments when they both met up after practice and just became infatuated with eachother over walks back home and chats on benches, it had all started to fade, being replaced by something much more tame. Yeah, she could imagine herself going out to the movies with Archie, but only if they were accompanied by Jug and Betty. She spotted Jughead standing by the punch bowl, but couldn’t manage to find Betty. She felt a light tap on her shoulder, swiveling her head towards it, only to find empty space. Betty stood on the opposite side, impressed at herself pulling the oldest trick in the book on Veronica.

“Sorry to interrupt you two, but do you mind if I borrow Veronica, Arch?”

Archie looked back at Veronica before resting a hand on his hip, and the other on his chin, feigning deep thought. “Well… I was having a wonderful evening with this young lady right here.” He pointed at Veronica. Veronica huffed, rolling her eyes.

“God, you are way too corny sometimes, Archie.” She chuckled.

Archie jolted away, stepping back and clutching his chest in pain. “Ronnie, Betty, help!”

Veronica dropped to the floor, pulling Archie up and throwing his arm over her shoulder. “Jesus, Archie, are you alright?!”

Jughead strolled by. “Give him a second.” He managed to get the words through a mouthful of cupcake.

Archie winced for a moment, propping himself back up. “Yeah, I’m good, everything’s fine, it’s just that”— He looked Veronica in the eye— “Words hurt, Ronnie.” He said with a smirk.

“You gave me a fucking heart attack!” Veronica gave him a shove on the arm.

“Like the one I just had?” Archie laughed

“I’m gonna remember this when you’re on your deathbed, Andrews.” Veronica poked him in the chest.

“Hey, that’s gonna be pretty soon if you don’t start being any nicer!” Archie pointed at her.

“Let’s hope not though!” Betty cut in with a toothy smile. She grabbed Veronica’s hand, tugging lightly and leading away from the group.

Veronica felt her heartbeat quicken, Betty’s hand on hers was like a shock to her system. Suddenly she had tunnel vision, nothing else mattered and it wasn’t like she could even handle thinking about anything else. She watched as Betty turned around to say something to her, and all she could do was quickly nod and smile, because boy did she need a moment to take in everything happening right now. Between the way Betty's hair just seemed to effortlessly fall to her side, the flashing lights on the dance floor, The way Betty’s dress showed off how cute she was while also showing off the biceps she usually hid away with long sleeved shirts and sweaters.... And the thumping of the speakers that made it hard for her to think about anything else (that was definitely it).

Honestly though, she paused, what the hell was happening? It wasn’t like her to be so off her guard, especially at an event like the homecoming dance, a place where anything could happen, and an audience was ready to watch. This was Riverdale, after all. There were appearances to keep, people to impress, and all she could do was think about how pretty Betty Cooper looked. She felt her cheeks get warm, and was immediately thankful that all of the reds, blues, and purples of the dance floor’s lights hid her blushing.

“Hey! Don’t be gone too long!” Archie called out to Betty and Veronica as the two made their way further from him and Jughead..

“Yeah, sure thing, dad.” Betty mumbled to Veronica before rolling her eyes. Veronica snorted. Betty’s grip on her hand tightened. Veronica felt her heart thump against her chest. The two kept going, making their way out of the gymnasium.

“Well, thanks for saving me from dancing with Archie for the entire night, but where are we actually headed, anyways?” Veronica asked as the two walked down the school’s hallways.

“Uh,” Betty looked up, trying to think. “Well, I forgot something in homeroom that I needed to finish my homework, so... I thought you might want to come with me and check for it!” Betty sounded surprised by the words coming out of her own mouth..

“Uh huh.” Veronica grinned. “you’re pretty bad at bluffing, you know that, right?”

“Well I guess the excuse never mattered, because you sure do look happy to be tagging alongside me right now.” Betty raised her eyebrows.

A terrible liar, but Betty Cooper was still the most astute person Veronica knew. She was at a loss for words, then she felt Betty's fingers trace her palm. The two looked at eachother for a moment. It was moments like this that she really hoped Betty wasn’t just trying to be a really good friend. This was it, the excitement, the electricity that she craved, that she just couldn’t feel with Archie.

Betty looked back ahead as they made their way to the end of a hallway. She tried to open a door to a classroom, but the doorknob wouldn’t budge.

“How do you expect us to —” Veronica started, but Betty had already worked a bobby pin and paperclip into the lock, jostling them around and turning the knob. The door clicked open. Veronica put a hand on her hip. “—and where’d you keep those?”

Betty tapped the bracelet sitting on her wrist. “Gotta be prepared.” She shrugged, walking into the room. Veronica shook her head, letting out a laugh.

Veronica stood back for a moment, watching Betty step inside, The ruffled edges of her dress knocked against the seats of the chairs that none of their classmates had pushed back into their desks. Betty paced over to her desk, kneeling down and searching inside of its supply holder, under the seat, and looking around. She looked up to see that Veronica hadn’t set foot into the classroom.

“What’s wrong? Get in here already!” she motioned over before continuing. “You don’t want a janitor or someone to catch us loitering around.”

Veronica breathed in, looking up for a moment. Here we go, she thought to herself. She stepped inside. The only light coming into the room was from the moon. The way Betty’s hair caught the ribbons of moonlight, complimenting the light green of her eyes, it made her almost too pretty to look at. As they locked eyes, Veronica closed the door behind herself, slowly stepping forward.

“So, really, what’s that thing you had to come all the way back to homeroom to find?”

Betty stood up, brushing her dress off. Veronica strode up slowly to her. She was so nervous that she almost felt calm. She watched Betty’s posture straighten. Veronica, stepping up to her, maintained her eye contact. She always felt like she had a clue about Betty. She thought about what it would be like to ask her on a date, to walk up to her and kiss her, but this was the real thing. There was no going back, and if she was wrong about what she thought she felt with Betty...

“Remember, there is a right answer.” Veronica tried not to sound nervous while she prodded for a response..

Betty draped her hands around Veronica’s shoulders, circling a finger through one of the curls of Veronica’s hair. “You, obviously.”

Veronica could feel herself melt around Betty’s hands. She stood up on her toes, bringing her hands to Betty’s cheeks and gently pulling her in. Betty closed the distance, meeting her with a kiss. Veronica felt like she could be lost in this moment forever.

Betty broke away for a moment. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted this.”

“I’ve got an idea.” Veronica smirked. She wanted Betty to know without ever having to be told, just how long she’d had her eyes on her. Betty rested her hands on Veronica’s cheeks before pulling her in for another kiss.

Veronica’s hands made their way to the small of Betty’s back as she leaned backwards, pulling the two on top of Betty’s desk. Veronica took the lead, painting Betty’s cheeks with kisses. All this time they’d spent as friends, she’d watched Betty deal with so much, so quickly. Veronica wanted to be her comfort.

Betty put a hand behind Veronica’s head, the other behind her leg. As the two started to make out, Betty placed one of her thighs between Veronica’s legs. Veronica took the cue to go further, letting her. Before the two could keep going, Veronica slipped off the edge of the desk, Betty’s arms wrapped around her, breaking her fall and hoisting her up.

“Holy shit.” Veronica laughed, feeling her head rest around Betty’s biceps. She wrapped her legs around Betty’s waist.

“Almost lost ya for a moment there.” Betty smiled.

***

“So you lost both of the ladies?” Jughead picked up a cupcake from the gigantic spread of party food in the gymnasium.

“It happened so fast, I barely realized that my date was gone for the rest of the night.”

“Well, tough titties, Arch.” Jughead watched Archie start to slouch, as he looked at the ground. “However.” Jughead said. Archie picked his head up like a golden retriever after hearing someone mention a walk. “Mr. Mantle’s been eyeing you for a while, now that you’re alone.” Jughead pointed right at Reggie, who was leaning across the bleachers next to Dilton Doiley and staring straight at Archie. Once he realized he’d been spotted, Reggie’s gaze shifted with haste.

“You’re kidding.” Archie laughed at Jughead. Reggie took a sip from a flask, offering some to Dilton without even looking at him. Once Dilton took a swig, Reggie slipped the flask back into the pocket of his blazer. Archie turned to Jughead in disbelief, then looked back at Reggie, who’s gaze came back to Archie, unflinching this time. Reggie kicked off from the bleacher. He gave Dilton a pat on the shoulder before making his way towards Archie and Jughead.

Archie felt himself start to panic. It was that chaotic wave of emotion when all control had certainly been lost and all you had to rely on was instinct. And Archie didn’t have great instincts, as reluctant as he was to admit it most of the time.

“So,” Jug looked archie in the eye. “you’re gonna tell me you haven’t been crushing on that doofus for these last couple months? At all?”

“Jug, it doesn’t matter. He’s Reggie Mantle, There’s a laundry list of reasons that I can’t!”

There really were. What were the bulldogs going to say? Not just that neither of the football team’s co-captains were straight, but also about the fact that they just so happened to be into eachother? He already could hear the jokes about the extra practice hours they spent together. Jug was accepting, but what about Betty and Veronica? Were they going to start seeing him the way they saw Kevin Keller? Was that even so bad? He didn’t want to lose the type of relationship he already had with them. And what about Fred? Archie was sure His dad would be supportive of him coming out, but the town delinquent was gonna be a hard sell. Archie’s head was like a bee’s nest, buzzing with thoughts.

“Oh, but you can.” Jughead cut off Archie’s train of thought. He took a sip of punch while pushing Archie forward with his other hand.

Archie stumbled onto the dance floor, looking back like a lost puppy. The scent of cinnamon and smoky wood wafted towards him and he turned back, almost bumping into Reggie’s chest. “You smell good.” Archie blurted out. “Did I say that out loud?” Archie felt his cheeks warming up.

“You did, Andrews.” Reggie chuckled with a nod.

“Crap.”

“Don’t sweat it, red. I put in some effort. It’s good to know that it’s going noticed, right?”

“Oh.” Archie’s heart was galloping, he felt like he drank two coffees and then threw in a couple of redbulls right before stepping onto the dancefloor. He tried to form the words. “Well-d”—

—“So you wanna dance, or...?” Reggie shrugged, throwing his hands up.

“Yup! Yes, thanks!” Archie was tumbling over his own words as he watched Reggie raise an eyebrow. He breathed in for a moment, trying to stay calm.

“You’re gonna do fine.” Reggie laughed. He reached out and Archie took his hand. The two started to sway with the music, and Archie felt himself getting closer and closer to Reggie’s body. Reggie put a hand behind Archie’s neck, and Archie gave in to the comfort, resting his head on Reggie’s chest. They kept swaying, turning slowly. Archie caught a glimpse of Jughead, who Archie could have sworn was sleeping standing up, if it weren’t for the thumbs up that Jughead had pointed his way, making him laugh.”

“What’re you looking at, red?”

“Nothing.” He giggled before looking up into Reggie's eyes.. “By the way...”

“Yeah?”

“...It’s stupid, don’t worry about it.”

“Out with it already.”

“You’re comfy.”

“You’re goddamn right I am.” Reggie said with a smirk.

***

Holding eachother, listening to the faint echoes of the music from the gymnasium, Veronica pulled Betty close again, holding her face for a moment and looking into her eyes.

Even if it was in the cramped and uncomfortable Riverdale high classrooms, having this moment together, alone, it was nice. Not at all how Veronica had imagined their first kiss and everything after to happen, but it felt right.

While Veronica was lost in thought, Betty took the moment to lean in and kiss her on the cheek.

“Flattered to know that you just can’t stop kissing me.” Veronica laughed.

“Hey,” Betty pointed her finger at Veronica’s cheek. “It’s a very kissable face.” the two kept laughing, taking in the rest of the moment before an announcement blared across the speaker.

*ALRIGHT RIVERDALE HIGH, WE’VE GOT 3 MORE SONGS LEFT, SO GET YOUR LAST DANCES IN!*

“Shit.” Betty froze, biting her lip as she started to hesitate.

“You want to finish the dance with everyone out there, don’t you?” Veronica looked at Betty with adoration.

“Is that totally corny of me?” Betty laughed.

“Not at all.” Veronica got up and returned the previous favor by planting a kiss on Betty's cheek before taking her by the hand. They ran down the hallway. As the pair made their way onto the dance floor, they settled into a sway, Betty held Veronica in her arms, and Veronica draped hers over Betty's shoulders.

“Thanks for making tonight so amazing..” Veronica whispered.

“I think you’re the one to thank.” Betty smiled.

“Would you be ok if I kissed you in front of everyone here?”

“You sure we’re not gonna hurt Archie’s feelings?”

“He and I were never really dating, just kinda flirting. Plus...” Veronica pointed behind Betty, who turned her head to see Archie and Reggie sharing a kiss. “I think he’s gonna be just fine.” Betty turned back, and Veronica surprised her with a peck on her cheek before moving to her lips. They swayed to the music, Letting the dance come to a close.

Betty hugged her. “I’m so glad you moved here.”

“Me too.”

Break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored

Just a reminder that I'll do fics based off songs. The song is by Ariana Grande.

You got me some type of way

Ain't used to feelin' this way

I do not know what to say

But I know I shouldn't think about it

Took one fuckin' look at your face

Now I wanna know how you taste

Usually don't give it away

But you know I'm out here thinkin' 'bout it

Archie looked back as someone patted his shoulder.

"Heard you made the team, Andrews." Archie felt his heart start to race as he looked at the older Mantle.

"T-thanks." Archie cleared his throat, smiling. Archie had never felt like that. Sure, he had crushed in the past but none made his stomach and heart flutter like (Y/N) did.

"Hi, baby!" Ginger greeted (Y/N), pecking him on the cheek. Archie glanced at the cheerleader, jealousy striking his heart.

"I'll see you around." Archie said with a small smile before walking away.

Then I realized she's right there

And I'm home like, "Damn, this ain't fair"

Archie stared up at his bedroom ceiling. He sighed, covering his eyes with his arm.

"What's up, Arch?" His dad entered the room.

"Nothing... I just... Really like someone." Archie sat up.

"But they're dating someone and I've liked them for so long." Archie sighed. Fred frowned, sitting on his bed.

"Does (Y/N) know you like him?" Fred asked. Archie looked at him.

"How-"

"You attend all his soccer games, always talk about him, and the way you look at him.." Fred chuckled. Archie ran a hand through his hair.

"I don't think he knows."

Break up with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored

You can hit in the mornin'

Yeah, yeah, like it's yours

I know it ain't right

But I don't care

Break up with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored

(Y/N) chuckled as he and Archie stumbled out of the party. He tossed the cheap beer can to the side as they walked down the sidewalk. Archie stopped infront of his house and looked at (Y/N).

"Wanna come in?" Archie asked. (Y/N) shrugged, following him inside. They stumbled up the stairs, still a bit tipsy. They giggled like little girls as they entered his bedroom.

"Nice room, Andrews." (Y/N) commented, looking around. Archie watched him, excitement swirling in his heart. (Y/N) looked back towards him with a small smile. Archie cleared his throat, stepping towards him. (Y/N) tilted his head. Archie leaned forward, kissing him. (Y/N) wasted no time and got closer, knocking the two down on the bed.

This shit always happens to me

Why can't we just play for keeps?

Practically on my knees

But I know I shouldn't think about it

You know what you're doin' to me

You're singin' my songs in the streets, yeah, yeah

Actin' all innocent, please

When I know you're out here thinkin' 'bout it

Archie glanced up, eyes focusing on (Y/N) as he slid on his boxers. (Y/N) looked up, making eye contact with the ginger. Archie's face reddened and he looked away, buttoning his jeans. (Y/N) approached him, pressing him up against the locker.

"Nothing you haven't seen before." (Y/N) grinned, watching his face heat up. He stepped back, grabbing his pants as Reggie peeked into the section of the lockerroom they were in.

"What's up?" Reggie asked, noticing Archie's blush.

"Just teasing Andrews about his music. It's pretty nice." (Y/N) said. Reggie hummed, nodding.

Then you realized she's right there

And you're at home like, "Damn, she can't compare"

(Y/N) spaced out as Ginger went on and on about Veronica and Cheryl. He munched on some fries, humming every so often. (Y/N) checked his phone, seeing a text from Archie.

Break up with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored

You can hit it in the mornin'

Yeah, yeah, like it's yours

I know it ain't right

But I don't care

Break you with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored

Archie watched (Y/N) get dressed.

"Why won't you break up with her?" He asked. (Y/N) looked at him.

"I don't know. She's a sweet girl." (Y/N) shrugged, sitting on the bed. Archie kissed his cheek, gently grabbing his hand.

You can say I'm hatin' if you want to

But I only hate on her 'cause I want you

Say I'm trippin' if you feel that

But you without me ain't right

You can call me crazy 'cause I want you

And I never even ever fuckin' met you

Say I'm trippin' and it ain't right

But me without you ain't nice

"She's not sweet. She ratted us out to Cheryl and told her about Polly." Archie said. (Y/N) looked at her, brows raised.

"Jealous?"

"Always." Archie smiled, kissing his shoulder.

"Break up with her. We can get together." Archie rested his head on his shoulder.

"My brother would flip." (Y/N) shifted, facing him.

"It's none of his business. I'll take a few hits for you." Archie kissed his lips with a small grin.

"You're fucking crazy, Arch." (Y/N) sighed, looking away.

"Fine. I'll break up with her." (Y/N) nodded. Archie wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Stay a little longer then. We can celebrate in bed."

Break up with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored

You can hit it in the mornin'

Yeah, yeah, like it's yours

I know it ain't right

But I don't care

Break up with your girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, cause I'm bored

Delicate

Summary: after you lose everything you made friends with some Serpents, but you worry your new feelings would ruin what you have

Word count: 2,616

Warnings: mentions of sex (that's about it I think)

A/N: This is a song fic with Taylor Swift's Delicate! this is the first fic I've posted in a few months so it might be pretty bad :|

This ain't for the best

My reputation's never been worse, so

You must like me for me

You used to be at the top of the social ladder in Riverdale High. You walked the halls with Cheryl Blossom and Reggie Mantle and the like. You were a co-captain of the Riverdale Vixens, proudly wearing the uniform and looking down at the people who could only wish to be like you. To be someone everyone knew and was invited to every party. Someone who could get a boyfriend with the snap of her fingers and get everything she wanted just by saying it. You used to be that person. Until your mom lost her job sending you both tumbling from the richest parts of the Northside to Sunnyside trailer park. It was nothing like your old life where you had a closet the size of the entire trailer and any type of food you had a craving for. Now you had a small dresser and two cabinets that held Cheerios, Graham crackers, and ramen noodles. You traded your high and mighty life at Riverdale High for being the new soft kid from the Northside at Southside High. It was as if you were standing on the top rung of the ladder and someone pushed you off, sending you crumbling down to the bottom not even getting a grip of it. Your reputation in Riverdale was ruined.

That's why you were surprised when on your third day in hell a certain Serpent named Fangs Fogarty decided to take a chance on the Northsider that stook out like a sore thumb and invited you to sit with him and his friends at lunch. Fangs didn't have much of an issue with your past but it took the others about three months for them to consider you worthy of being called a Southsider. One of the people who scoffed and rolled their eyes every time you appeared or spoke was Sweet Pea. But he even came around to you eventually, you becoming part of the group. Part of the Southside.

We can't make

Any promises now, can we, babe?

But you can make me a drink

You were finally okay with your new life after a year and a half when the news of Southside high closing traveled around. You were sent a letter in the mail that you would be transferred to Riverdale High effective by Monday of the next week. Riverdale High where everyone who used to adore you would now glare down at you for being one of the transfered students. Riverdale High where you knew there were rumours about what happened to your family and you were had been receiving hate for it. As soon as you read the letter you threw open the door to your trailer and made your way to the Whyte Wyrm, sitting down with a heavy sigh and your face twisted into an expression of rage.

"See the letter?" Sweet Pea asks, appearing in front of you from behind the worn bar counter. You don't reply, simply nodding and drumming your stiff fingers on the wood. "It'll be fine. You already know everyone."

"You don't understand." You say with a humourless smile and a shake of your head, "They're ruthless to anyone with remote connections to the South. I'm not going to be able to walk the halls by myself without getting the shit beaten out of me."

"Serpents wouldn't let that happen." Sweet Pea says referring to you joining four months prior. "That's a promise."

"Might be a hard one to keep." You sigh. "Can you make me a drink?"

As anticipated by you the first two months of being back at Riverdale High was horrid and filled with you getting pushed becoming the students physical and verbal punching bag. They threw words at you about how now you're Southside Serpent scum and no longer one of them. But eventually most of the Northsiders got bored of bullying you all and dropped it, mostly only Bulldogs and Vixens starting feuds. You'd eventually made friends with a few Northside kids you'd never noticed when you went there through Jughead including Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Archie Andrews.

"So, I convinced my parents to let me use our lake house for the break." Veronica says as she sits down in the student lounge. "I figured we could all use it as a romantic getaway."

"Sounds great." Betty smiles for her and Jughead.

"You guys have fun with that." You sigh, leaning back in the couch.

"Aren't you going to come Y/n?" Archie asks, everyone turning towards you.

"I would but I don't exactly have someone to go with." You answer.

"Why don't you bring Sweet Pea?" Jughead suggests, raising his hand that rests on Betty's shoulder.

"Sweet and I- we're not like that. We're just friends." You stutter, trying to stop the heat creeping up your necks and onto your cheeks. You didn't want to even admit to yourself you'd grown to like the tall, quick tempered Serpent as more than a friend. The butterflies that flew in your stomach every time you saw your friend scared you because you knew it would change things so you stuffed the feelings way down inside of you and locked them in a box. That nobody was allowed to unlock or even see. Those feelings were off limits and would just turn everything into a mangled knot.

You see Veronica and Betty have a conversation with their eyes before turning towards you. "Bring him, it'll be a friend thing instead of a romantic getaway."

"No, you guys can have your date thing I'll just hang out with the Serpents." You reject, not wanting an extremely awkward week or to ruin theirs.

"Hangout with that Serpent with us." Veronica says with her "I'm not going to stop bugging you until I get my way" look. You sigh and press your lips into a line, looking between the two of your friends before speaking.

"If you guys can convince him to go, I'll go." You finally give immediately regretting it as the two of them look to Jughead.

You'd decided to leave to go to your locker, the others waiting for you to be out of ear shot before talking.

"Y/n and Sweet Pea like each other right?" Archie asks, turning to Jughead.

"Oh yeah definitely." He answers, stuffing a Dorito in his mouth.

"Which means we need them both to come." Veronica adds, quirking a brow as she smiles.

Your stomach flipped at the texts as you realized you just accepted to go on basically a date with Sweet Pea that you were technically forced to do. Still in disbelief the next morning you packed a bag filled with clothes and your basic necessities before walking outside, confused when you see Sweet Pea standing there.

"I was expecting to meet you there." You say, explaining your expression when he quirks a brow at you. He shrugs, hand scratching the back of his neck before falling back to his side.

"I figured I could give you a ride." He says, gesturing to his motorcycle leaning on its stand.

You look to your own propped against your house and look back at his, debating the decisions before walking towards Sweet Pea. He flashes you a small smile before swinging his leg over the seat, you doing the same and wrapping your arms around his torso. He revs the engine before pulling away from the trailer park and makes his way to the lake house using the directions Veronica had sent that morning. You tried to ignore how your heart seemed to stop whenever you remembered how close the two of you were, trying to keep your focus on the passing woods.

After about forty-five minutes you slowed to a stop in front of a house the size of the entire Sunnyside trailer park. The others approached you as you and Sweet Pea gaped at the building.

"You made it!" Veronica smiles, taking back your attention. "You two can set your stuff in your room."

"Room?" You ask, slight panic rising in your chest at the lack of a mention of separate rooms.

"My uh parents only gave me permission to use three so we're all two to a room." She says, not fully convincing you but you say nothing else knowing it would be a pointless conversation as you follow her into the house. "Last door on the right." Veronica says, you nodding and walking up the stairs with Sweet Pea behind you.

"Holy shit." You hear Sweet Pea breathe as you step inside. "This room is as big as four trailers."

There was a queen sized bed on one wall facing a wall made of windows with a door leading to a balcony. Another door sat on the wall next to it leading to a bathroom, the room complete with themed decorations. You both set down your bags and meet the others downstairs, the sun setting below the lake outside as you made small conversation and played a few games.

About an hour after the sun was out of sight you were all sitting in the hot tub with a drink in hand. While the others sat practically on top of one another you and Sweet Pea stayed a safe distance apart sometimes your arms brushing against each others causing your breath to hitch in your throat. You'd easily finished two drinks trying to loosen up and not be so tense when everyone was having fun. You just couldn't stop thinking about every little thing Sweet Pea did from the smile that grazed his lips when the others made jokes to how you could swear he was getting closer to you.

Events seemed to start blurring into each other, you hardly being able to give any of your focus to the others conversation. You hardly realized you were leaning against Sweet Peas side, his arm lazily hung around your shoulders.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." You excuse yourself climbing out of the hot tub.

"Are you okay?" Betty asks, observing your wobbled way of walking.

"I'm fine." You say, waving a hand at her right before slipping, twisting your ankle and landing hard on the stones around the water. You hear multiple people climb out as you groan and turn over on to your back, squinting your eyes.

"Y/n, are you okay?" Sweet Pea asks, helping you sit up as you rub your head.

"Totally." You groan, looking around at the others who give you looks of concern. "I'm probably gonna go uh lie down."

With that you attempt to stand up but wince and lift your leg at the pain from putting pressure on your ankle.

"Need help?" Pea asks, standing up next to you. You nod and he wraps an arm around you, trying to help you walk but you find it awfully hard to hop on one leg in your state. He shakes his head before scooping you up in his arms, carrying you the rest of the way inside. He gets you upstairs, setting you down on the bed but falling over and ending up on top of you, his cheeks burning bright red.

"I uh..." He says, opening and closing his mouth to finish his sentence but no words come out.

Third floor on the West Side, me and you

Handsome, your mansion with a view

Do the girls back home touch you like I do?

Long night, with your hands up in my hair

You look into his eyes, your hand coming up to cup his face before bringing your lips to his. He hesitates a moment before returning the kiss, moving himself fully above you. The once small kiss quickly turns heated, your hands roaming his body. Your lips trail down to his neck, sucking on the soft skin. His hands lace in your hair, tugging on the y/h/c locks occasionally.

That night you did something you'd never imagined would happen between you and Sweet Pea, not even thinking about how many boundaries were bring broken and how you weren't thinking of your delicate friendship.

The next morning when you woke up you immediately felt yourself go hot clammy finding your head on Sweet Peas chest with nothing but the bed sheets separating your skin from his. Your heart tightens in your chest as you back away from him, having to pry his arm from around your waist before retreating to the opposite side of the bed. Sweet Pea groans and opens his eyes as he sits up, the blanket falling off of his upper body as he does so. Your cheeks and ears burn bright red when he looked to you, your eyes holding his for a quick moment before looking down at the mattress.

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you're in my head?

'Cause I know that it's delicate

Is it cool that I said all that

Is it too soon to do this yet?

'Cause I know that it's delicate

"Shit..." He mumbles. "Look I um-"

"It's fine." You cut him off in a small voice. You didn't mean to sound so scared but you were utterly terrified of this ruining everything the two of you had. "I just... I don't want this to change anything."

Sweet Pea nods, meeting your eyes again. You don't know why it hurt you to see regret slightly on his.

"I like you, Sweet Pea." You say, everything in you freezing as you say the thing you had barely admitted to yourself. You don't see any reaction on his face prompting you to rant out of nerves. "I thought that if I just ignored it it'd be fine but I can't get you out of my head. I know that you will probably not want to see me after this and I understand that it's just-"

Sweet Pea cuts you off by cupping your face, his thumb running over your cheekbone. Your mouth went dry and you couldn't get any words out as your eyes scanned his face finding something you couldn't quite identify. One of the things on your mind was how you were practically shattering the delicate relationship you had. You felt like you were ruining everything and you just lost one of your closest friends because you were stupid and couldn't keep your emotions to yourself.

"I'm sorry. For all of this." You manage to say.

"Don't be." He says quietly. Neither of you quite understood the reason for being so quiet, maybe not to scare the other away with anything above a whisper. In seemingly slow motion he leans forwards until his lips are on yours soft and warm in a delicate kiss made of rose petals. Everything between you two was delicate from the way his hand gently held your face to whatever your relationship was now. But something that wasn't delicate was the fireworks you were seeing even though your eyes were closed, the colours exploding between the two of you. You both pull away, not getting very far as your foreheads press against each others.

"You're okay with this?" Sweet Pea asks, his breath lightly hitting your face.

"Of course." You smile before connecting your lips again, finally breaking through that delicate phase of your friendship and into a relationship that you'd always thought would never happen in that bed, a kiss being the bond in front of the sunrise over the lake making the whole moment even more perfect and warm and golden.

Cause I know that it's delicate

Delicate

Warnings: Small mention of bad past relationship, Tiny bit of violence Reggie/Sweet Pea

Summary: You and Sweet Pea started dating a few weeks ago but you have known each other for about a year. Ever since the Serpent's joined Riverdale high you became close to him. For a while it was just a friendship but then it turned into more. It’s starting to get weird though, he tries kissing and once it almost led to more but you had to stop him. You’ve been through things that he doesn’t know, you also need to tell him that your brother is Reggie, but you don’t want to scare him away.

Word Count: 4593

Y/N POV

You were meeting Sweet Pea behind the school to hang out for a bit before your next class. You watched him walk out the back door and saunter over with Fangs and Toni following. Everyone in the Serpents knew about the relationship, but not many people from the Northside did, especially not Reggie your brother.

“Hey Babe” He kissed your cheek and then went down for your lips but you turned away. If there weren’t people around that was okay with you, but with other people, it just made you so uncomfortable.

“Hey Pea”

“You okay baby?”

“Yeah, I uh, I gotta go”

“Wait! Will I see you at the Wyrm later?” You threw a yeah over your shoulder before running off and bumping into your brother.

“Sorry Y/N”

“Oh hey Reg”

“You coming to the game tonight?”

“No, I uh, I’m hanging out with Toni”

“The Serpent”

“Reg please don’t she’s more than that, she is a good friend to me”

“Whatever Y/N just be careful, Okay?”

“Okay Reg, I will” You heard the bell ring and you headed to your next class, you went home after getting changed to go to the Wyrm. You threw on a pair of jeans and a flannel before heading out.

You walked into the Wyrm seeing Toni behind the bar

“Hey babe”

“Hey T, where’s Pea, wait lemme guess… pool” you stood on your tiptoes looking over the serpents shoulder and seeing your boyfriend playing with Fangs.

“Is that even a question girl?”

“Not really haha”

“He should be done soon though, you want a drink”

“T you know”

“I know, I was talking about water or a coke”

“Yeah, I'll take a water, put it in a glass for me though?”

“Always” You were innocent, never really doing anything your parents would disapprove of. You weren’t like many other teenagers, you didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, and definitely didn’t party. You really never went out of the house much until you met Sweet Pea. Honestly, you still didn't know how he fell for you. Compared to his life you felt like you were boring.

“Hey babe” Pea kissed you on the lips and you instantly felt a shudder run through your body. You knew that you should just tell him but you couldn’t, it would ruin everything you thought.

“Lemme guess Fangs paying your tab?”

“Always baby girl, always”

“Anyway how are you I missed you earlier”

“I’m good I missed you too, how was the job?”

“Oh it went good”

“That’s good”

“Hey, you wanna dance”

“T, Fangs lets all dance, I wanna have fun tonight” It was always nice for you to come out and forget who you were on the Northside, maybe that’s why you liked being on the Southside so often. You could be who you wanted, and be seen with who you wanted without getting judged. You danced for a while with Fangs, Pea and Toni. It was fun hanging out with them. When you started dating Pea it became a weekly thing and you always looked forward to it. You guys finally stopped after about 4 songs and went back to the bar.

“Hey, T fill me up?” Fangs went over to a new initiate and started grinding with him, while Toni stayed behind the bar working. You looked around seeing all the couples making out, dancing, grinding, and everything in between. Then you looked over to Sweet Pea standing behind you, literally just standing. You wanted to be like the other couples and you knew Pea’s history. He had girls all over him. You wanted to be that girl for him, and you wanted to be able to kiss him in the bar and school like other girls probably did, but it wasn’t you and you hated that.

“Uhm, I gotta go” You stood up gaining the attention of Toni and Pea, you began walking out of the Wyrm before you felt Peas hand around your wrist.

“Wait, babe stop, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing I just, uhm have homework”

“Y/N just talk to me”

“Nothing's going on I just, I need to go, your dating a nerd remember, I have a lot of homework you know honors classes and such” Which wasn’t a lie you did have a lot of homework.

“Hey for your information I like dating a nerd, your cute when you do your experiments and stuff”

“You’re an idiot”

“I feel offended” You watched his hand go over his chest as a shocked look came over his face.

“Okay big guy, I gotta go” You pressed a quick kiss to his lips before beginning to walk off.

“Wait can I walk you home?”

“My parents are their Sweets, you know how they are”

“Can I at least walk you almost there”

“Yeah” you began walking hand in hand with Pea. It was nice being alone and just enjoying each others company.

“What homework do you have”

“Well I have English, but then I need to work on my project for Reading Olympics”

“That’s awesome are you having fun with it”

“Honestly, yeah”

“Your gonna do great” you began laughing at the thought. Just the big bad Serpent being so proud of you for something you were making, and for it to be reading related made it even funnier.

“What are you laughing at?”

“You?”

“Why me?”

“Because it is hilarious to me that we are dating”

“Do you not…”

“God no Pea, I love being with you, it’s just funny to me like just our personalities and everything so different about us. Like you, the big bad Serpent who wears leather jackets and usually has a busted knuckle is dating the boring northside girl who loves writing and doing English projects.

“Baby I love being with you, I love watching you read, I love hearing you talk about the stories that you read, and I love the joy you get when you show me the things you have written. Just because we are different doesn't mean that we aren't right for each other. We may be different but that doesn't matter to me, because honestly when I’m with you I forget about everything but you”

“You're adorable you know that”

“Yeah, don’t go telling anyone I got a rep to keep up princess”

“Oh yeah, I'm sure you do big guy”

“Hey princess” he pulled you around and in for a hug.

“Yeah?”

“We arrived at your castle” You look up to see your house at the end of the street, you hadn’t even realized how far you walked. He always had a way to make you laugh, no matter what it was he always did.

“My castle?”

“I mean you are a princess”

“Like the princess and the Pea”

“Oh, and I'm the dork?”

“I love you Y/N, I’ll see you later” he threw his arm around you pulling you in for a hug. He pulled away landing a quick peck to your lips. You began walking towards your house. You looked back once or twice to see him standing there before you entered through your gate. Pea always waited till you got to the door never trusting the streets at night, he needed to know you were safe. You felt your phone buzz pulling it out of your pocket and seeing Pea’s name.

P: Did you get inside?

Y/N: You watched me walk through the gate…

P: That’s not inside baby girl, I can’t see past the gate. Did you get into the house?

Y/N: Yeah Pea I did

P: Alright baby I love you I’ll see you tomorrow

Y/N: Love you too Pea

Pea always begged to walk you to the door, but you would never let him. You couldn’t risk him seeing the Mantle sign that hung on the door once you entered. It wasn’t that you were afraid to tell him, you were afraid for Reggie to find out, afraid he would stop you from dating.

You went upstairs doing some of your homework before laying in bed and drifting off to sleep. You woke up the next morning walking downstairs and see Reggie sat at the counter.

“Hey Reg”

“Hey Y/N, how was Toni’s”

“Good, I came back early to get some homework done, How was the game?”

“Really good, we won”

“Oh really, that’s awesome you guys have been doing really good this season”

“Yeah we got a good team, you know the old guys and the new ones are working really well together”

“That’s good, how’s the Serpent beef?”

“Not really there we kinda just play and let it all ago, it’s not really like last year”

“Good, good”

“Yeah, Hey do you need a ride to school?”

“Sure, thanks” The ride to school was quiet, small talk here and there. You arrived at school and walked to the library knowing you wanted to get a start on the book you were reading, your favorite book at that. You sat down beginning the chapter you were on before you got distracted by your phone buzzing.

P: Where are you?

P: baby you good?

P: Y/N?

Y/N: Sorry Pea I was reading

P: oh cool, sorry I bothered you what are you reading?

Y/N: your not a bother and you know it, and Y/F/B

P: oh cool that’s your favorite right?

Y/N: yeah

P: hey where are you tho?

Y/N: library

P: can I come?

Y/N: of course

Your phone didn’t buzz anymore and a few seconds later you got startled by hands around your eyes, laying against your skin. You recognized the scent that enveloped you and the rough calloused skin that laid on the hands. You could tell it was Sweet Pea without even a glance up.

“Pea?”

“Maybe…” He kissed your lips while his hands still covered your eyes. Luckily no one was in the library during this time and you were completely alone with him.

“Oh now I know it’s you”

“Damn right” You watched as he sat next to you on the couch and pulled you closer.

“So baby girl tell me about this book again”

“I’ve told you so many times before”

“Oh, and I could relay every detail tenfold but I love hearing you talk about it” So you did, you told him every small detail and he would even mention tiny things that you missed. He always paid close attention when you talked. When you first began to hang out you always thought he ignored you but one day when he said something about a book that you even forgot telling him that is when you knew. You knew that he genuinely listened. He never got bored with the books, and he never got bored of you, he even read a book with you once so he could talk about it in depth like you had so many times. As you talked about the book and other random things he steals kisses here and there. At one point you got lost in a kiss only being interrupted by a cough from Fangs and Toni. Your heart plummeted when you turned and looked at them. They had seen you kiss Pea, they had seen you kissing him and it brought all the memories to the surface. The thoughts came onto you faster than they usually did, today wouldn’t be a good one.

“Y/N you okay?” You couldn't say a word the thoughts clouding your mind.

“Hey talk to me”. He pecked your lips with his, a thing that would usually get you out of your head when you were alone, but with the people around it made it worse. You rushed out of the school running before you felt a hand grab yours.

“No, you‘re not running from me, I know how you get when you run, we're going to the quarry, now” His tone was pleading, you didn’t want to argue he was going to need to know eventually. He walked you to his truck, opening the door and ushering you in before walking around to his side. He took your hand as he drove the short distance. You got out of the truck walking over to the couch and sat down.

“Y/N please talk to me, am I, am I losing you”

“No definitely not”

“Then what’s going on, I want to give you the smallest peck something you like and you pulled away completely and ran. Does my breath smell or something?” even when he was serious and you were upset the laughter would always come.

“No babe your breath smells fine”

“Then what?”

“I just didn’t want to kiss”

“That’s not it, your lying baby I know when you lie. Plus you’ve been doing it so often and you’ve never had a problem kissing me before and then you ran out of the Wyrm last night why?”

“I just I feel bad”

“Why?”

“I can’t” your head began shaking the thoughts pouring in and a tear slipping down your eye

“Hey you can, I mean if you're comfortable I'm here to listen”

“Okay” He grabbed your hand a signal to keep going .”Before I dated you, two years… before I dated you I was dating a guy named Chad. He wasn’t a good guy”

“Did he hit you”

“No, never but what he did was almost worse”

“What do you mean?”

“Well at first it was great, he was sweet and we were happy. But then we started telling people and he got possessive almost. Every time someone was around he would kiss me, and when I asked him to stop he wouldn't. That possessiveness in public never went further than kissing but it hurt me. Constantly being used almost as an owned object. I felt dirty, disgusting. I started getting anxious in front of people. I knew if I was around people I wouldn’t be able to be with him without the constant PDA he always put onto me. Then one day it got too much he kept kissing me turning into a makeout after one of my guy friends said I looked pretty. It was too much I lost my breath until y friend pulled him off and I could finally breathe. I broke up with him and he started dating my old best friend. I just ever since then relationships, I just couldn't do them, not until I met you”

“Baby If I knew I never would have done that”

“I know, I know I should have told you but I couldn’t, I wasn't scared I just didn’t want to, I feel so broken. I want to be with you in public but, there's just so many things you don’t know that scare the shit out of me. I ran out of the Wyrm the other day because of all the people making out. Seeming them so happy with their partners I just couldn’t. I want to be able to kiss you in public, but I mean it scared the shit out of me. I just don’t want it to control me anymore. Before I would kiss you at school because we would always hide and no one was around, but then Fangs and Toni found out and they are usually around it just, it causes my anxiety to skyrocket sometimes”

“Baby I wish I knew I am so sorry that I didn't know. Well I have an idea, I mean only if you're comfortable”

“We work through this, you know I would never hurt you like that, ever”

“I know, but what do you mean work through it”

“You take control, you kiss me when you want where you want however long you want. I don’t want you to feel scared that I am going to trap you by a kiss or be possessive of you because that isn’t who I am and I don’t want to be that person to you. I want you to be able to have control of it, and maybe that control will help you to not be afraid of kissing in public anymore and if you are that’s okay. I’ll just hold your hand and that will be enough for me, honestly baby girl as long as I'm with you I don’t care if I can kiss you in public or not”

“Okay”

“Okay?”

“Yeah, I want to try, I want to be with you and be able to be with you in public”

For weeks you have been working with Sweet Pea, him letting you sneak kisses here and there, and even you letting him sneak a few. It grew comfortable being able to kiss him with others around. It never went further than a peck and it was only done once or twice in front of people you knew. There were a few hiccups where the thoughts came back but Pea always pushed them down by grabbing your hand and placing a kiss to your knuckles. For some reason, that small gesture always knocked you out of your thoughts. You workers so hard at being able to be with him you now walked through school hand in hand.

It had been about three weeks since the talk that you had with Sweet Pea. He was standing with you by your locker when you pulled him close to you kissing him as you leaned back against the locker with him standing in front of you. The kiss only broke not by choice when your brother pulled Sweet Pea onto the floor catching him off guard and landing a swift punch to his jaw. You had been so wrapped up in trying to work through your issues you completely forgot about hiding the relationship from Reggie. You Were scared to tell Reggie for the pure fact that he knew about Chad. He rarely let you get close to anyone due to it, not that you wanted to until now. You got broken out of your thoughts when Sweet Pea grunted in pain, he wasn't fighting back something odd especially for him and especially against a bulldog.

“Reggie stop!”

“Why would I stop this asshole kissed you and had you against a locker” Another kick landed to Sweet Pea's ribs. You looked to the side to see Fangs and Toni now watching.

“Reggie please” another punch landing to Sweet Pea’s eye. You couldn’t take it anymore and Reggie wasn’t listening. As another punch was about to come you ran in front of Reggie pushing him back as hard as you could to at least give you a little time to reason with him. You stood leaning over Sweet Pea. Reggie couldn’t hurt him without hurting you with the way you were standing.

“Y/N move!”

“No Reg you gotta stop”

“He hurt you, you could have gone into one of your anxiety spells “

“No, no, no he didn’t hurt me”

“But he had you against a locker”

“I was in control that whole time Reg, I pulled him to me and put myself against the locker, I kissed him”

“Why!”

“Because we're dating”

“He is using you, what does he want? Is he forcing you?”

“God no we've been dating for about a month now, he’s great”

“Look I have practice, but we are talking about this later, be home after school got it” With that Reggie walked about before you could get another word in. You looked to Sweet Pea clutching his stomach.

“Fangs, Toni help me get him into the truck before the next class starts” they both came over gripping under his arms as he grunted you grabbed both of your backpacks before following them out to his truck. He had passed out on the drive to your house.

“Pea, Pea please baby wake up”

“I’m okay Y/N”

“I'm gonna help you inside so I can clean you up okay”

“Where are we?” “My house, before you say anything I don’t care if they know” He stood out of the truck with you helping him and you made it inside slowly. You brought him upstairs and into your bedroom and onto your bed. You laid him down and ran downstairs grabbing an ice pack before grabbing the first aid kit out of your bathroom. You laid the ice pack onto his stomach while you cleaned the cuts on his face. You began washing then cuts out and apply some ointment to them so they would heal.

“Baby I need you to stand up, your ribs are gonna bruise by the looks of it and I need to wrap it up”

“How are you so good at this”

“Football, I’ve patched Reggie up more times than I can count on both hands” You helped him stand and wrapped the bandage around him tightly.

“Baby ow, that’s so tight”

“Yeah, I know it’s either that your you don’t heal and your ribs float around”

“Your dramatic”

“Yeah, but it'll make you listen”

“Touche, now I deserve a cuddle come lay down” You slipped out of your jeans putting on Sweet Pea’s shirt that had been discarded onto the floor. Luckily there was no blood on it and you loved wearing his clothes.

“Stealing my shirt baby girl”

“When do I not”

“True’ You laid down with him tracing circles onto the top of his chest, careful going around his wrapped up ribs. You needed to know.

“Hey Pea?”

“Yeah baby”

“Why didn’t you fight back, you've never backed out of a fight”

“I wasn’t gonna knock out your brother Y/N, plus I wouldn’t fight in front of you unless I had to, you know that” You jolted up out of his arm earning a wince from him.

“Oh my god I'm so sorry”

“baby im okay just a little sore no worries”

"So wait you're telling me you knew”

“Of course I knew, I’ve known for a while”

“How? When?”

“that first time I walked you to the end of your street you thought I walked away but I followed you to the gate, I saw the name on the door and I kind of put two and two together” “Why didn’t you tell me”

“I knew you would tell me when you were ready”

“Well, thank you I mean, for not rushing me”

“Never baby you know that now come back here you were keeping me warm” You laid down again fingers tracing shapes into his chest once more. You quickly heard soft snores come from his mouth and you drifted to sleep shortly after. You woke up feeling eyes on you. And you looked over to see Reggie sitting in the chair across the room. He caused you to jump waking Pea in the process.

“What’s wrong!” Pea jumped up after you before slamming back down onto the bed in a yelp of pain.

“That… what… a bad idea”

“Oh my god baby I’m sorry are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah I'm good” you heard the pain in his breaths but you didn’t want Reggie to hurt him anymore so you stepped in front of the bed.

“Reg please don’t hurt him, he didn’t do anything” Reggie just sat staring at the both of you while all this went down. “Reg what are you doing?”

“So your together?”

“yes”

“Has he ever once touched you where you didn’t want him to?”

“No”

“Has he ever once pushed you further than you wanted to go?”

“No”

“Has he ever laid a hand on you?”

“No”

“Have you ever been scared of him”?

“God no”

“Do you like him?”

“I love him Reg”

“You love him?”

“I do Reg. I care about him so much and he makes me feel as safe as you do. He never once pushed me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I have control to choose when I want to go further and when I don’t. He helped me through the Chad issues making me feel like I got my power back, that’s why I was against the locker. I wasn’t scared I was comfortable” Pea interrupted

“Mantle if I ever felt she didn’t want something even as small as a kiss or me holding her hand, honestly anything I would stop instantly, I never want her to feel uncomfortable, ever”

“Do you love her”

“I do Mantle, I really do she makes me happy every time I'm ever upset or angry. I could be in such a bad mood but once I see her everything goes away instantly. I love being with her, I know I'm in love with her, and I couldn’t be happier”

“Alright” You watched him about to walk out of the room.

“That’s it? You're not mad?”

“I'm mad you didn’t tell me, I'm not mad you're dating him, I told you I learned who the Serpents were. I may not agree with everything they do and I may not want you to date one but you are and it is what it is, plus I don’t know any other guy who wouldn’t fight back let alone move while they were getting even if I am her brother, to be honest dude no guy I know is like that. Hell if one of the girls I’ve dated brother came after me I’d knock him the fuck out. But I am curious why did you? I mean I know you get in fights that’s not a secret I'm honestly surprised”

“I knew you were her brother but she didn’t tell me you were, she was afraid of losing what we had if she did. I mean she just told me about Chad a few weeks ago. Plus I know how fighting makes her feel. I wouldn’t fight in front of her unless I had to, and I wouldn’t fight you, you're her brother and she cares about you”

“You’re a good man Sweet Pea, take care of her or this time your ribs will actually break, got it?”

“I got it, Mantle, hey wait, thank you for being so cool with this. I promise to take care of her, really I mean it”

“I know you do” With that you watched your brother walk out of your room and you heard his bedroom door open and close at the end of the hallway. You turned to Sweet Pea who was still lying on the bed.

“That went better than I thought”

“Honestly I'm shocked too baby girl, but I’m happy we don’t have to hide anymore”

“Me too”

“Now come cuddle meeeeeeeeee”

“Wow you get real needy when your hurt”

“Don’t tell anyone”

“I know, I know. You gotta rep to uphold I get it” You watched his arms raise motioning for you to climb into the bed with him. You obliged slowly climbing into the bed with him.

“Can we stay like this forever”

“I mean I’m not complaining, but you know I kinda gotta pee”

“Please for the love of god tell me you are joking baby girl, I just wanna cuddle you!”

“Calm down ya big baby I'm kidding”

“Good” he placed a kiss to your forehead before slipping his hand to your back. You slowly felt his fingers rubbing up and down relaxing you instantly. You nodded off as his hand slowed down the slow beat of his chest causing a rhythm to sync between your breathing. You fit with him like a puzzle piece and it’s the only thing you could wish for.
