Y/N's POV

Prom was only two months away and I still didn't have date. There is a boy who I really want to go with, but unfortunately he's my best friend, Jughead. I've been in love with him ever since 5th grade, yet I still don't want to admit it, in fear that he might not feel the same way.

I'm at Pop's with my friends Vernoica, Betty, Archie, Kevin, and my best friend, Jughead. We're sitting in our usual booth on a Saturday night at around, 7:00pm. Veronica was sitting across from me and Betty and Archie were beside her, while Jughead was beside me and Kevin sat next to him. I was resting my head on Jughead's shoulder. I always did that. It never felt awkward to me because Jughead and I have been friends for so long. Everything was going fine, well, not until Veronica brought up prom. That's when things started to get awkward.

"So, Betty. Who are you going with to prom?" Veronica asked.

"Archie," Betty replied holding hands with Archie. "You?"

"Since I didn't want to have an actual date with some douchebag, Kevin and I decided to go together as besties!" Veronica replied.

"Mhm, That's right girl," Kevin replied sassily while high-fiving Veronica. Veronica then turned to Jughead an eyebrow raised and a playful smirk on her face and said,

"And you, Jughead?"

"What?" Jughead said. I could see his cheeks turn into a light pink color.

"Who are you asking out to prom?" Veronica asked. "Are you asking... Y/N? Hmmmm?" She said teasingly.

I could feel the embarrassment overcome me. I really wanted him to though.

"Veronica, we're just friends, best friends," Jughead said while rolling his eyes.

"Oh come on! Everyone knows you like her. It's so obvious!" Kevin said nudging Jighead on the shoulder.

"And how is it obvious?" Jughead gave Kevin a death stare.

"Remember when you proposed to Y/N with your beanie?" Betty said.

"We were six years old!" Jughead said.

"Yeah, but who knows. Those feelings still carried on up to now," Betty said. "And plus, what kind of "best friend" rests their head on your shoulder and whenever you see Y/N you automatically become happier! You let her wear your beanie when you never let anyone else wear it. You let her take food from your plate without getting mad and-" Jughead cut her off.

"Okay, okay! I get it."

I quicklly notice that I was leaning on his shoulder, so I swiftly sit back up and start to blush.

"I think I better go," I said.

"We're just teasing, Y/N. We'll stop if that would make you feel better," Betty said, trying to convince me to stay.

"No. It's fine. I really just feel sleepy, that's all," I said with a smile on my face, a fake smile, to hide my embarrassment.

"Well, okay. Be safe okay?" Betty said.

I nodded and started walking to the door.

Jughead's POV

I see Y/N stand up and start to walk away. I want to chase after her, but I don't know what to say. I really love her, I just don't want to be rejected id she doesn't love me back.

"Dude, go after her," Archie said to me. "You like her right?"

I shrugged.

"No... I love her" I replied quietly.

Veronica, Betty, and Kevin gasped, covering their mouths.

"Then, what the hell are you waiting for? Chase after her!" Archie said pointing at Y/N who was already out the door.

I nodded and sprinted out of there.

Y/N's POV

I hear someone running towards me from behind. I check to see it was and to my suprise, it was Jughead! He was running really fast, sprinting actually. I stopped walking and slowly approached him.

"Y/N, wait!" He said, completely out of breath.

"Woah there, slow down. You might strain yourself," I said while running to him.

He stopped when he finally got close enough to me. He rested his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. I rub his back and say,

"You okay?" with a bit of worry in the tone in my voice.

He just smirked, in a really cute way too. He got down on one knee and took of his beanie.

"What are you doing?" I asked while furrowing my eyebrows.

"Will you, Y/N L/N, be my date to prom?" Jughead said. With the cutest look on his face, he offered me his beanie. I blushed a crimson red color. I was utterly shocked. I was just satnding still, staring at him and the beanie. He thought that I had rejected him because his smile slowly started to turn into a frown. He was slowly putting the beanie back on his head but then, I stopped his arms from moving by holding them. I held his hands that were holding on to the beanie and I pulled him up so that he could stand. As he was standing, there was a point where our faces were on the same level. I leaned in to give him a passionate kiss on the lips. We both melt into the kiss and then he slightly pulled away so that our faces were only a few centimeters from each other.

"So... Is that a yes?" he said teasingly.

I rolled my eyes and pilled him closer to give him another kiss.

"What do you think?" I said smiling on his lips after the kiss.

He was smiling from ear to ear and then he stood up fully. I took the beanie from his hands and put it on my own head.

"You know, your hair is really nice without your beanie," I said while brushing my fingers through his wavy, raven-colored hair.

He fixed the beanie on my head so that he could see more of my face. He then gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead. I hug him and rest my head on his chest.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," I said.

"Same here," he replied.

Betty, Archie, Kevin, and Veronica walked out of Pop's and started running to us. They all gave us a group hug.

"Finally!" Archie exclaimed.

They pulled away from the hug and they all said goodbye. I looked at Jughead and he was looking deep into my eyes as the moonlight shined on us. I noticed that I was still wearing his beanie.

"Oh! You'd probably want this back," I said while taking it off.

Jughead stopped me from doing so and said,

"No, keep it on for now. It looks good on you," he said while smirking and fixing it back onto my head.

He offered to me his arm and said,

"Shall I walk you home, my lady?" In a funny british accent.

I put my arm around his and said,

"Of course," in the same accent.

While we were walking, I rested my head on his shoulder and we started to walk down the street to my house.

When we got to my house, we walked to my front door. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and turned around to walk away. Hesitantly, I say,

"Jughead!"

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I love you," I said.

He ran to me and pulled me close to him so that he could give me a kiss. It was a very passionate kiss. He pulled away and said,

"I love you too."
