||It doesn't have to mean anything (but it does)||

• Jughead asking Archie to sleep with him because he's a teenager
• asexual Jughead
• Idea came after listening to "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry (it was supposed to turn into friends fuck sometimes but... instead we got asexual angst, so... whatever — maybe we will write the other version too 👀)

Jughead, for some reason, found himself at a party that Cheryl was hosting. He wasn't sure if it was Betty, nagging his ear off — because he'd miss all the gossip, which was somehow crucial for the Blue&Gold. Or if it was Toni begging him — because she wanted to introduce her new 'girlfriend', for whyever reason she still put that in air quotes. Or, which seemed to be the worst, if it was Archie's whining — because he didn't want to drive to Cheryl's on his own and only had Jughead to drag to a stupid party he never wanted to go anyways.

Here he was though.

At this stupid party, with his second joint in to somehow survive the way his brain tried to trick his heart into causing a whirlwind over something that was not really of importance. Jughead didn't drink alcohol. He had seen how it ruined his father, the man who was still trying to throw away those last bottles in order to trade his family for the addiction. He never touched chemical stuff either — because that was his mother's game.

No, Jughead, if he ever needed a way to dim down his brain, chose weed — and weed only. Not Reggie's either because Reggie was trying to get his customers hooked up on new stuff every year anew, so better stay away from him altogether. Usually he stuck to Sweet Pea and Fangs, because they didn't allow him to buy from someone else for safety reasons — and so they could keep an eye on his consumption habits.

Anyways, Jughead felt pretty dimmed out.

To be honest, he didn't even listen when Toni attempted to hold a conversation with him and she gave up on those plans to introduce her girlfriend — no air quotes this time though.

He passed up on the group gathering for Truth or Dare and instead went to roam the house in search of his best friend. Thankfully, Archie's red hair was quite noticeable, even when he wasn't even sure if he had a body.

"Jug? Hey, you good?" Someone asked, grasping his arms and he hummed "You're baked, aren't you?"

"Have you seen Archie?" Jughead asked instead, only then turning around to face the someone he had stumbled into — Kevin.

"Uh... not for a long shot, no. I'm not even sure if he's still here"

"No, he is. He promised to drive me back if I make it an hour"

"Okay?" Kevin said, though it turned more into a question "Have you tried texting or calling him yet?"

"No. Can you do that?"

"Been smoking too much again, eh?" Kevin teased, though he already took out Jughead's phone, typing in the pin without having to ask — because there had been a few instances like this already.

"No. But the lights are all swishy when I move"

"'Swishy', that's new, even for you" Kevin assessed before handing back the phone "Here. Just wait here, Archie will come get you"

"Thanks, Kev"

"You're welcome. Next time, it costs"

"Sure, BJ equals 60 bucks, handjob only 50"

"We both know you're not rolling that way, Jug" Kevin called before being dragged away by someone else's hand. Jughead hadn't even noticed that he was holding hands "Alright, gotta go. Take care!"

"Yeah... bye" Jughead called, waving softly. Frowning, he walked to the closest wall in order to lean against it. It's not like he wasn't aware that... he wasn't necessarily the 'norm' for a teenager — whatever that meant. Or perhaps an adult, given that most of their year were already eighteen. He wasn't. He had just turned seventeen because his mother had to have him in October. He was drifting off point.
