Riverdale: A Ghost Town (Male Reader Insert)

Part 2

Cooper House:

Another Disgusting Adult: 21

OR

A Slutty Cheerleader: 15

Y/N didn't really expect this thing to get that much attention. No, it wasn't him who made the poll, but he couldn't help but be curious by it. Who the heck set this thing in the first place? And why?

Maybe Y/N should actually abide by this thing just to make things interesting, maybe if he actually killed someone who matched the description, he'll get more voters. 

"You guys ready to enter the belly of the beast?" Jughead asks as he walks in Betty's room where, Y/N sits and Betty fixes her hair. They turn to see a surprisingly formal suit that's a little too big for him. "It was the best I could do." Jughead blushingly notes as he puts his hands in his pockets. 

Time to...... pretend grief?

Thornhill:

On the way there, Y/N wonders just what kind of chaos he could possibly cause at the mansion whiles he's there. It'd be the perfect chance, with so many people inside. He's managed to tuck in his mask and costume in a place that no one should check. 

When walking inside, past Mrs. Penelope Blossom, Y/N feels his rage ramp up, but he has to keep it check for now, so he tries his best not to seem bitter while he's here in this mansion, weather that includes a fake smile, a cough, or just an emotionless expression.

Y/N notices that Penelope follows his glance with a look of her own, is she suspicious? Then why, invite him? Why invite the Coopers of all people? The Lodges? 

He breaks his thought process and looks for a seat, thankfully finding one close to most of the core four, including Kevin. (And if you want to count Y/N to make it core five.)

"It feels weird being in here..." Y/N mutters to himself, though only Jughead heard him. He's thinking of asking the Y/H kid what that means but detects a very personal story and decides to wait for another time. 

After a couple seconds, Archie looks back and sees Penelope walking down the row and approaches her with a jersey in his hands. "I'm so sorry for your loss, Mrs. Blossom." He expresses his sympathies as the women appears to freeze at the sight of him. Archie looks down and holds the jersey out to her which turns out to be Jason's Blossom's. "I thought you might want to have this." 

"You're so much like him..." Penelope whispers, lifting a hand onto Archie's cheek without thinking. Then she caresses Archie's hair as he stands there awkwardly while the other members of the gang, giving the situation a weirded out look. Y/N slowly raises his camcorder so it can last longer. "Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you, Archiebald." Penelope snaps out of it. 

Oh...... Archiebald. Y/N should've guessed that was his actual name, that's actually the first time he heard it throughout the entire time he's known the redhead. "Did she just touch your hair?" Kevin asks as soon as Archie sits down. 

"Did she just caress your cheek?" Y/N adds, also weirded out. He's not gonna start sleeping with the married woman now, is he? Y/N looks to Jughead. "How is he doing this? What am I doing wrong?" 

"I don't think this is something you should be envious of." Jughead remarks, but Y/N can't help but find it amusing. 

"That was really sweet, what you did." Betty gives Archie a supporting hand, trying to help them forget what the heck just happened.

"She deserves it more than I do." Archie shrugs. Despite writing it down all night, Valerie's suggested coach decided he wasn't able to help Archiebald. That moment hit something in Archie, realizing he's doing something wrong with his life.
