Jughead After school I paced back and front in front of Archie's house thinking of what I was going to say and needed up getting so nervous that after 30 minutes of pacing I couldn't do it and ended up walking away from his house as fast as I could
I wish I wasn't such a coward as Archie was, I was never really able to express my feelings easily so it was something I tried to avoid as much as possible, but I guess this time there was no beating around the bush and I just had to tell Archie
I was afraid I wasn't good enough, I never had an relationship, I haven't even had really good friendships so how would I even manage a relationship?
I sighed and realized I should just go to his house, I couldn't ignore him the rest of my life cause I see him all the time and I seem to always be thinking about it
I made my walk to Archie's house, for the second time this day and decided against pacing for almost an hour and just rang the doorbell, once I rang it I just wanted to run, I couldn't do this, I'll make a fool out of myself
"Oh uh hi jug" Archie said after he answered the door, guess I can't run now, huh
I couldn't seem to muster up a set of words so I just sent him a nervous smile, he then moved a slide to let me in his house and I slowly walked in, awkwardly standing in the middle of the hallway staring at my feel
I remember my younger days when I came here almost everyday and I was never awkward, I pretty much lived in this house more then my own, sometimes when I'll come over here if I had a family problem Fred would let me in talk to me a little bit and then send me straight to Archie's room where we stayed for hours and hours talking, because we used to tell each other everything, not one tiny part was left out. Oh how the times have changed
"Jug, you okay?" Archie asked standing in front of me
I nodded, still not knowing what to say and Archie sighed, grabbed my arm and led me to the couch. The two of us sat down facing each other and Archie gave me a reassuring smile which seemed to calm me down
"I'm sorry" I blurted out
"For what" Archie said confused
"For ignoring you, for running away, for sucking at pretty much everything, for being scared for us, and for not wanting to kiss you"
"Oh, it's okay. I u-understand"
"I want to be with you, I do but why would you want to be with me, there's nothing great about me and I can't offer you the things other people can"
"Because in my eyes, your perfect"
"I'm not perfect, Im the weird kid in school who pushes all his friends away, Im writing a book about a dead boy, my family life can be better, but I guess it could also be worse, I-"
I was cut of by a set of soft lips pressing against my capped lips and I wasn't sure what to do, I moved my lips with Archie's and just let it happen.
Our lips just seemed to fit perfectly together, which might be the only thing perfect that barely involved me, because I'm not perfect, I'm not even okay.
