Summary: Archie and Betty are driving home for the holidays, only for their car to break down in the middle of a snowstorm. It's the middle of the night and there isn't a town within walking distance. There's only one thing they can do: wait out the night and keep each other warm.

“Archie!” Betty called out, from inside the car.

Archie glanced up from the car’s busted engine and met his wife’s eyes. It was hard to make out her features with the heavy snowstorm growing more and more aggressive around them and biting at their skin, but the tone of her voice suggested that she was annoyed with the situation.

Going back to Riverdale to spend Christmas with his mom was his idea, and so was taking a road trip from Chicago, rather than flying out. They had both been so busy at work in the months leading up to the holidays, and he wanted to take the opportunity to spend some quality time with Betty. Archie didn’t count on the car breaking down in the middle of the night, along with the car’s heating, during a snowstorm, and in the middle of nowhere. He couldn’t help but feel bad about the situation he put her in, even as he found himself shivering in the winter air.

“I’m sorry, Betty.” He said, gently. “We’re going to have wait until the morning and call a mechanic.”

“It’s freezing.” Betty remarked. “How are we supposed to wait out the night like this?”

Archie pondered for a moment, before remembering that the gear from last summer’s camping trip was still in the boot of the car.

“Kick the seat back.” Archie instructed. “There’s a sleeping bag in the trunk of the car, we can sleep in it together. Cuddle up, you know, to stay warm.”

He couldn’t quite make out Betty’s expression amongst the aggressive snow, but he was sure that it had softened. Archie was simply happy that his wonderful wife could find even the slightest bit of content in such an awful situation.

“That sounds like the best thing that can come out of this madness, Arch.” She said, softly.

Archie could just about make out Betty shuffling about in the car as he made his way around the side of it to get to the trunk. Once he opened the trunk and retrieved the sleeping bag from a camping bag stuffed in the corner and slamming the door shut, he made his way over to the driver’s side and opened the door. However, he felt his eyes widen at the sight that greeted him.

Betty was completely naked on the passenger seat.

“Betty, what are you doing?” He asked, as he ducked into the car. The question passed his lips out of pure shock, he’d be lying if he said the sight of his naked wife was an unwelcome one.

“Body heat transfers better when we’re naked, Arch.” Betty explained, reaching over Archie to shut the car door.

“O..oh.” Archie mumbled, suddenly finding himself lost in the sight of his beautiful wife. “That’s actually a very good idea.”

A satisfied giggle escaped Betty’s lips as Archie handed her the sleeping bag and started to remove his own clothes. It was almost as if the two of them had completely forgotten about the storm blowing outside the car and were just excited to wrap themselves around each other and enjoy some much-needed intimacy.
