Archie pov:
I woke up to Jughead laying on my chest and holding me tight. My shirt was a bit wet from last night since Jughead had A bit of a fall back with relapsing due to a panic attack he had. It happened the other night as well and hasn't moved out of bed after that one. Now that I think about it he never let me clean his cuts either so today will most likely be a rough day for him.
"Jug" I say in the softest tone I can creat and shake him a little "jug you need to get up"
He groaned and hid his face in the crook of my neck. "We don't have school today,if you brush your teeth we can go straight back to cuddling"
"Do I have to?" He questions in quiet voice "Yep,come on I'm carrying you"
Jughead rubs his eyes before wrapping his arms and legs around my body allowing me to pick him up. I take him into the bathroom and sit him down on the counter next to the sink. I knew Jughead could get embarrassed at himself that I had to 'baby him' and help him do simple tasks. And a lot of the time he starts asking himself why I'm even here for him,or why I love him on the days he finds hard. But I'd never leave him no matter how bad his days can get.
"Okay,come on" I say handing him the toothbrush
"Ugh,your killing me arch" he whines
"I'll do em for you?" I joke smiling "absolutely not,give" he takes the toothbrush out of my hand and puts it in his mouth "Ew,who the hell invented mint?" I say "I don't know? But it taste disgusting" "like how can you have toothpaste flavoured ice cream? That's just an abomination" I continue making Jughead laugh,
spitting the toothpaste out into the sink "stop,your making me laugh" he says smiling and continues to brush his teeth
"That's the point darling" I say and then rinse off my toothbrush and spit into the sink "alright,roll your sleeves up" I say making him roll his eyes. He rolls up his right sleeve revealing the cuts on his arm. "I shall be back my prince,wait here" I kiss his head then go downstairs to look for some non-alcoholic wipes. Once I've found them I go back upstairs into the bathroom where Jughead was who has stopped brushing his teeth and was on his phone
"I have returned" I say out of breathe "you good?" He smiles "no I went through the multiverse" I joke while taking the wipes out of the small packet. He laughs again at the joke "did you see Spider-Man?" He asks lifting up his arm "Yeah,he was dressing up as Thor. What he thinks Thor looks like I don't know"
I laugh "see,you're smiling!"
I exclaim putting my hands on the counter,either side of him "Yeah because you're being stupid" he says. I move in to connect our lips as he puts his hand on my jaw. We stay there for a while before I pull away "okay,you're done" I say looking at his arm "thanks arch" "well it's my job to make you happy" I say picking him up off the counter making him giggle. I lay him down on the bed with me hovering over him "I love you" he says "love you too baby" I kiss him again before laying down next to him and turning on the tv.
