Archie couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as he watched you interact with Reggie. It was irrational, he knew, but something about the way you smiled at Reggie, the way you touched his arm lightly as you laughed at his jokes, made his chest tighten with unease.

He reminded himself that you and Reggie were just friends, that you were dating Veronica, not Reggie. But that knowledge did little to ease his anxious thoughts.

As he watched you and Reggie from across the room, Archie couldn't help but wonder if there was something more between you. He knew it was foolish to let his overthinking get the best of him, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he might be losing you to someone else.

It was at the maple leaf festival, when it struck him. Reggie had feelings for you, but he has yet to tell Veronica.

You didn't feel the same, you were with Archie, no one else could change that. Archie would catch Reggie staring at the two of you while you walked around, hand in hand, smiling at the children running around laughing.

You noticed the change in Archie's demeanor almost immediately. He seemed withdrawn and distant, his mind clearly elsewhere despite being surrounded by the joy and festivities of the maple leaf festival.

'Arch?' you said, turning to face him. You wrapped your arms around his neck, trying to draw him out of his reverie.

'Hm?' he said, pulling his gaze away from Reggie and focusing on you.

'What's going on?' you asked, concern evident in your voice. 'You've been acting weird ever since we got here.'

Archie tried to play it off, but you could tell that something was bothering him. 'What do you mean? I'm fine,' he said, his voice a little too dismissive for your liking.

You narrowed your eyes at him, not willing to let him off the hook that easily. 'Come on, Arch,' you pressed, giving him your best pout. 'Spill. What's on your mind?'

he sighs and puts his hands on your waist, "fine. I... reggie has been looking at you the entire time and au can't help but feel jealous," he shrugs and looks at the ground.

you smile, "You shouldn't be jealous. I'm not interested in him, he's not really my type."

"Mhm," his eyes haven't met yours.

"Archie," you stroke his cheek, which causes him to glance your way.

"hm?"

"I love you and only you."

"I love you too."
