tw: some angst

a/n: this is based on the one episode of riverdale where jughead finds out that archie and betty kissed when they were broken up so veronica suggests that she and jughead kiss to make it equal. so yuh.

"what do you mean you, y/n, tyler, and jenna went to y/n's lake house? you left me behind?" brendon pouted, from behind the receiver. i sighed.

"bren, it's like a couples thing. you and ryan are too on and off, you'd mess it up. i hope you understand." i told him. he scoffed.

"ry and i are too on and off? puh-lease, when you and y/n were broken up last time, i saw her exchanging smooches with your bestie, tyler. but, like, you know, ryan and i are the problematic couple. anyways, gotta bounce bye!" brendon said, hanging up.

"wha-" i was cut off by the sound of the line buzzing. was it true? why did y/n never tell me?

your pov

"hey, babe." i greeted josh, wrapping my arms around him.

"did you and tyler kiss?" he blurted out. i let go off him.

"what?" i questioned.

"brendon said he saw you guys kissing when we were broken up, last time. is it true?"

"i mean, yes, but you and i weren't together at the moment and neither were ty and jenna. and it was only a kiss shared by two childhood best friends. i didn't see the problem."

"why didn't you just tell me?"

"i forgot about it, i'm sorry." i apologized.

"i'm just gonna let it go for now because we're on vacation. but this conversation isn't over, we still need to talk about it." josh said. i nodded. i genuinely did forget about that kiss with tyler. we were just caught up in the moment. it didn't mean anything.

"hey, are you guys okay? we heard you talking." tyler asked us, with jenna on his side.

"brendon just told me about you and y/n's kiss." josh informed him. tyler scrunched his eyebrows.

"why didn't y/n tell you? i told jenna when we got back together." he asked. jenna smiled, kissing his cheek.

"that's why i'll always trust you." she told him. i looked down guiltily. this didn't make me feel great.

"i don't know, why didn't you tell me, y/n?" josh looked at me, serious.

"josh i didn't see the problem. i swear, five seconds ago you said we were gonna drop this for now." i said to him. he sighed.

"yeah, you're right." he said.

"do you guys wanna go for a dip in the hottub?" i suggested. jenna looked at me, excited.

"you have a hottub?" she asked. i nodded and smiled. "then let's go in!"

we all got our swimsuits on and went out to the deck where the hottub was. i started it up and turned on the jet so there was bubbles. maybe this would loosen the awkwardness that was bound to exist.

everyone got in and sat on separate sides. i sat by josh and he put his arm around me. jenna and tyler sat across from us.

we were quiet. none of us knew what to say, really. the only sound was the sound of the jet.

"i'm sensing a lot of tension." jenna spoke. then she sat up. "i have an idea. i know we're all probably hooked on the whole y/n and tyler kissing subject. i was thinking what if josh and i just kiss? then it'll be equal. no hard feelings, just like the tyler and y/n kiss."

"i say go ahead. there's no hard feelings, and i trust you." tyler told his girlfriend. i looked at josh.

"i'm fine with it. every relationship builds on trust. go ahead." i said to josh. he nodded and him and jenna met in the middle of the hottub.

"hey, josh. this is odd, isn't it?" jenna said to josh. he chuckled and nodded.

"hi, jenna. i agree." he replied.

josh and jenna leaned in and kissed each other. it lasted for only a few seconds, but it felt like it was hours. i felt a twinge of jealousy and i looked at tyler. i knew he was feeling it too.

jenna and josh eventually pulled away and josh came and sat back down next to me. he wrapped his arm around me again and the jealousy evaporated immediately.

"there. now technically tyler and josh are the only ones who haven't kissed each other because of that one night at brendon's when we were all drunk." jenna said. josh chuckled.

"that's not happening. nice try though." he said.

"what? yo, josh, i was totally down." tyler joked.

"then search up some fanfiction. i'm sure you'll find something." josh suggested. we all giggled and realized that the awkward tension was gone.

after a few minutes tyler and jenna decided to go inside because they were cold. josh and i decided to stay in the hottub and just spend some time together.

"i really am sorry for not telling you sooner, josh. i should have, and i apologize for that." i apologized to josh.

"i forgive you, love. i know it didn't mean anything. i just get insecure sometimes, because i don't always feel like i'm the best for you." he told me. i frowned, placing my hand on his chest.

"of course you're the best for me. you make me so happy, i could never love anyone else the way i love you." i promised him. he gave me a small smile.

"promise?"

"i promise."

josh pressed his lips against mine and i straddled him underwater.

i really did love this boy.
