Riverdale OneShots

Behind The Mask (Part 1)

Fuck you and your mom. Stupid fucking zombies!" Betty shouted at the screen, fingers gliding over the joysticks."Cover me, you dickhead!"

"Damn, Betty. Calm down. It's just a game." Toni told her, startled at her friend's behavior.

Betty rolled her eyes, fingers aggressively tapping the different buttons. "Kev won't fucking cover me. They keep knocking me down, and I need to be fucking healed!"

"Sorry, Betty. I was texting Moose. He wants to meet up later. Can I go or do I need to be here to watch you yell at a video game?" Kevin asked, his phone in one hand and his controller lose in the other.

She scoffed, "Kev, you're the only one that wants to play this game anymore. Now, you're ditching your poor friend, right before her competition. Some friend." Despite her tone seeming hurt, she was grinning at her friend. "You're fine, Kev. I'm just fucking with you. Go see your boyfriend."

Betty returned to the game."Guess I'll just play with randos. Unless Toni wants to play."

"Sure. Hand it over, Kev."

Kevin passed the controller to Toni and texted a quick reply before grabbing his bag and walking to the door of Betty's room. "See you, ladies, later."

"You ready to get your ass kicked, T?"

He quietly laughed to himself, grinning as he saw a text from his boyfriend. He showed himself the door, his steps bubbling with excitement. While Betty was playing with Toni, Kevin was actually meeting up with Fangs.

"So you're telling me Betty thinks you're with Moose instead of me?" The pair were sitting in Pop's drinking milkshakes and scheming.

"That's exactly what I am saying. Now, hurry up. Is he gonna be there next Thursday? Is he gonna be allowed in the gold tier? Betty only plays gold tier, she's that good, Hunny." Kevin scanned the menu, only to find that he was not hungry, presumably from all the junk he and Betty had eaten throughout the day.

"Kevin, he will play in the gold tier. I will make him do it. Now, what hotel do you have her booked at? And which room number?"

"The Five Seasons, room 321. Don't let me down. Betty has not had a partner since Terra, and she's starting to scare me. She hardly sleeps anymore. It's only about that stupid fucking game!" He sighed, hand palming his cheek in defeat.

"No shit!" He exclaims loudly with an exasperated sigh, "Neither has he. This is why we're doing this."

Kevin huffs, rolling his eyes. "Just tell me, does everything check out? Do they have the same report time?"

"10 am for Jug. What about her?"

"Same time. I think everything is gonna be smooth sailing. Just try not to fuck it up."

"If anyone's going to fuck it up, it's these two. Don't know something good if it smacks them in the face," Fangs sighed.

"Ok, now I do have to go meet Moose. I'll see you later, Fangs." Kevin retrieved his bag from the bench and left to meet his boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Betty prepped for her tournament, spending her time beating her friend in Cold War. "Ha! Suck it! I won again!"

"Ok, Betty. I have to go to bed for the tournament tomorrow. It's 1 a.m. and we both have to be up at 7 to get ready and drive. You're going to crush whoever we are playing. Just, go to bed." Toni tossed the controller down and stretched.

Betty looked between her controller and her friend, anxiety bubbling. "C'mon, T. Practice makes perfect."

"Yes, but you are already pretty perfect at this game. So just go to bed, B. OK?"
