The Last Summer (Bughead Fanfic)

Item Number 17: Make out in the back of a truck

(Back in the present btw)

As Betty and Jughead fell deeper and deeper into each other, lost in the other's touch, Sweet Pea was looking all over the house for his best friend and the blonde, both of which had disappeared a long time ago. Instead, he found Kevin, aggressively making out with one of his best childhood mates, Fangs. 

"Dude, Fangs? Is that you?" Sweet Pea said, not even caring that he was interrupting their makeout sesh. 

The two boys pulled away from each other, rolling their eyes at each other as they prepared for another awkward encounter. Instead, when Fangs turned to look at the boy who called his name, he was in fact, surprised to see his old friend Sweet Pea. 

"No way!" Fangs yelled. He ran over and pulled Sweets into a hug. 

"Dude, its been so long!" Sweets yelled. 

Kevin looked at the two men embracing with a confused face, "What the hell is going on right now?" 

The boys pulled away from each other and turned to face Kevin. Fangs smiled and pulled Kevin over to Sweet Pea. 

"Kevin, babe, this is my childhood friend, Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea, this is my boyfriend, Kevin." 

Sweet Pea shook Kevin's hand and smiled, "No way, dude. You finally got a boyfriend! Congrats man!" 

Fangs beamed, then quickly said, "Hey, how's Jughead been?" 

Kevin crinkled his nose at the name, "Jug-head? Who the hell names their kid Jug-head?"

Sweet Pea laughed, "Its a nickname. Jughead was our other childhood best friend, though he's three years older than Fangs and I here. And he's been doing good. He's just been running the Serpents. And he finally opened up that tattoo shop he's been dreaming of opening for forever."

Fangs smiled, "No way, man. That's awesome."

"Yeah!" Sweets said, smiling, "Hey, he's actually here right now, but I can't find him anywhere. Neither can I find a new girl I met the other day, Betty. They both have disappeared."

Kevin's stance changed, "Wait, you're Sweet Pea? Oh my gosh, I'm Kevin, I'm Betty's best friend. Here, lemme see if I can help you find him, I know like an insane amount of people. What does Jughead look like?"

Sweet Pea frowned, "Oh, nice to meet you. Um, he's pretty tall, raven-black hair, blue eyes, leather jacket like mine, and a stupid grey beanie on his head. He's pretty impossible to miss."

Kevin's eyes widened, "Oh my gosh. That's the guy that we dared Betty to pretend like she knew, for her bucket list thing. He was super hot, but I definitely didn't think that they knew each other."

Sweet Pea chuckled, "Oh they definitely know each other. Jughead gave Betty her tattoo the other night. Besides, I was there the whole time and there seemed to be something else going on. Maybe they knew each other before then? I kinda pushed it aside until now."

Kevin gasped, "Oh my god. Do you think that Betty and Jughead went to like...do you-know what?"

Sweet Pea's face fell and Fangs protectively stepped in front of Kevin.

"Dude, no. Betty wouldn't do that. She's into me, right?" 

Kevin gasped again, realizing who he was talking to, "Oh my god, right! Of course! Betty probably just ditched. Parties aren't really her scene. Besides, its totally unlike her to just have sex with a stranger. If he is a stranger at least." Kevin muttered that last part under his breath, suspicions rising in his chest about the blonde-haired girls whereabouts.
