Goodbye, good life | Bughead

31: What's going on?

It had been almost a month now since Betty and Jughead kissed and started their second and the last run with each others.

Even though they didn't purpously hide their new relationship status, it took almost two weeks for Jb to find out. She was at Riverdale for the first week and after that it took one week more.

Jb had been for sure always, and since she heard on fall that those two were working together, Jb was certain that in some point they will end up together. Her still little childish mind said that it'll happen in weeks, but when she actually met them she knew it'll not be like that. But on this Saturday day of March she came back to walk to the apartment finding her brother with Betty baking, laughing and his arms around her waist while she tried to mix.

"Hey big bro, are you treating all your friends like that or only the one you once were in love?" Jb grinned and in her mind, she was screaming and jumping.

"The last one," he smirked and kissed the tip of Betty's nose before hugging his sister. "She's special, you know," Jughead almost whispered as he winked to her sister. "I know, you are cute and I love you both. But I don't wanna hear anything from the bedroom," Jb answered smirking to the both of them. Damn, she had a sharp tongue.

"No worries Jb, nothing to hear," Betty smiled to her as she kept mixing the dough at the same time.

"Yet," Jughead added receiving the smack in his arm.

But on this day, Jb had known for two weeks now seeing them together more often, cuddling and cooking. Last weekend Jughead spent both nights at Betty's and it wasn't all easy, for those two siblings. On this Saturday Jb offered to be with Tempo while Betty and Jughead went to Fangs and Kevin's place where the others were too. They hadn't seen like that for almost two months, only separately here and there, shopping, at walks, at bar. So no one knew yet about Jughead and Betty.

They were cooking paella, but before that they had some tapas and because they were at Kevin's it all started with sparkling wine. Kevin always had that.

"Nice to have you here, it's been too long for last time seeing all of your faces at the same time. I hope you are ready for beer and staying up 'til the sun will rise!" he announced while raising his glass. "Also, cheers to Jb, who is there with Tempo and we have Betty as long as we want!" Veronica added making everyone laugh.

When six people cook in one kitchen, it is quite crouded, you know? So even Jughead kept touching Betty here an there and Betty doing the same, the others missed those. 

After dinner Fangs made to them all mint hot chocolate with cream and all the toppings you can only imagine. They grabbed some pillows and blankets and went to the balcony to drink those. The balcony was big enough to them all to sit there next to each others and watching the yellow and pink sky telling the sun was setting. It was beautiful and it made them speechless. Until Betty had cream on her nose.

"Hey cutie, you have something on your nose," Jughead whispered to Betty who was sitting there, or course, next to him. "And now you are telling me this, like this fast, not an hour later?" Betty smiled. "Well, I think we agreed no teasing, right?" he whispered and kissed the cream from her nose and then pressing his lips softly and quickly on hers.

They forgot they were there with their friends. But the friends, they observed the situation. Not the discussion before the kiss, it was just mumbling. But when the mumbles turned to a kiss, all eyes were on them. For a second, it was silence. Fangs was hiding a laugh, Kevin and Veronica were hiding maybe something bigger, cheer? Cheryl mouth was dropped.

Then Kevin cleared his throat. "So. From when? And and... I have zero words," Kevin huffed and Fangs chuckled. "You have been waiting this forever and you have no words to this situation, oh babe," he said while storking Kevin's back.
