Praying For A Sinner - Riverdale Fanfic (Sweet Pea)

How it begins

    A/N:
So I meant to post this Friday but then my family and I went to the cottage and I didn't have much time and yesterday I forgot. So here's the first chapter. I'm gonna try to update 2-3 times a week maybe more maybe less depending on how busy I am

As I watched Toni Topaz, my best friend, tend to the bar we were talking about anything and everything. Both of us being bisexual, though she leaned more towards girls, were stuck at the moment on the subjects of romantic interests. Specifically, my not crush on Sweet pea. She had convinced herself that him and I liked each other and everyone had realized it, other than the two of us. I call bullshit. And even if we did like eachother, we couldnt fuck up our friendship like that.

"You have to admit it at some point" Toni told me as I downed my third shot of the night while waiting for Fangs and Sweet Pea. "I can't admit something if there's nothing to admit, Toni" I replied to her while signaling for another. "What isn't there to admit?" a familiar voice behind me asked. "Sweet Pea, Fangs. Lovely of you boys to show up," I said as I checked my watch, "half an hour late". Sweet Pea just smirked as Fangs claimed they were just 'fashionably late'. As Toni set down my refilled shot glass in front of me, she finally realized the boys had arrived and sent them both a glare. She hates when people are late. "Well boys, you just cut off your alcohol supply. Have fun with that." Their eyes went wide as they looked at Toni giving her a pleading glance. She smiled and handed them each a shot as well. They smiled, thanked her, and sat down on either side of me.

Toni poured us each, including herself, one final shot and we downed them simultaneously. I cut myself off after that one and then checked my watch. It was 10:30, half an hour until curfew. I was sure I wouldn't be home by then, not that my mom would care anyways. "Hey T? Do you mind if I crash at your place tonight? My mom will probably lock the doors at 11 and I don't really want to go back home that early". She sent me a sad smile "Sorry J, my aunt and uncle are visiting. With me and my grandpa in the small ass trailer, that's 4. Already too much." I sighed and got ready to leave, but Sweet Pea quickly spoke up. "You could come crash at mine!" Fangs looked at him, surprised and I smiled. "I think I'll take you up on that offer Beanstalk, thanks. T, get this man a drink, on me." she winked at me and walked away to mix him something.

I turned to look at Fangs, who was attempting to discreetly grab a bottle from over the bar. Clearly, it wasn't working. I cleared my throat and he jumped, looking over at me and slowly retracting his hand, trying to come up with an excuse. "I-um- was just..." he trailed off, shutting his mouth, and giving up. "Relax Fangs, I won't tell Toni." And of course just as I said that, she walked up. "What won't we tell Toni?" she asked while setting Pea's drink down in front of him. Fangs opened his mouth to speak but I quickly cut him off. "He doesn't want you knowing what girl he has his eye on tonight." She seemed to accept that excuse and nodded, moving on to help some of the other serpents waiting. Sweet Pea was holding back his laughter as Fangs and I subtly high fived under the counter
