Riverdale Preferences and Imagines

They Have a Panic Attack

Archie Andrews:

Archie was sitting on stage, guitar in hand. You sat between Fred and Hermione, a grin spread across your face. You could tell he was nervous, and he looked as if he were about to throw up. You heard a shout from behind you.

"Stick to football!" It was Reggie. You turned around, giving him a glare. Archie squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, and suddenly stood from the stool, racing off the stage. You jumped up, pushing past everyone to get backstage. You ran into Veronica, and she looked just as concerned.

"He's not in the dressing room." She informed you. You could only think of one place he would go. You ran all the way towards the locker room, not caring about going into the guys. You saw Archie pacing back and forth, tugging his hair. You walked over to him.

"Arch." You started. He turned to you, tears prominent in his eyes. They widened when they saw you, and he immediately covered his face and pulled away. His chest was heaving, and he soon couldn't cover up the tears. His body racked with sobs, and he collapsed onto the bench. You wrapped your arms around him, holding him close.

"It's okay, Arch." You whispered, kissing his temple. His breathing had calmed, and his sobs had stopped. You continued to hug him until he finally hugged you back. The two of you stayed in that position for what felt like hours. You pulled apart after the longest time, and you felt your phone buzz. You wiped away Archie's tears with your thumb, before unlocking your phone.

Incoming Message: From Fred Andrews

Is he alright?

Outgoing Message: To Fred Andrews

He's okay.

You turned your attention back to Archie.

"Are you okay?" You asked, placing your hands on his side. He nodded, wrapping his arms around you again. You held him tight until he was ready to go home.

Jughead Jones:

Jughead had been acting off all week. He was blowing you off, barely talking to anyone, and was constantly missing classes. You were worried, to say the least. You couldn't take it anymore, so you decided you would get answers out of him. After school, you gripped his hand and dragged him all the way to your house.

"Okay, out with it. What's up?" You asked. Jughead smiled.

"What do you mean?" He stuttered. You rolled your eyes.

"None of that. Tell me what's wrong, now." You ordered.

"Nothing's wrong, (y/n)!" He yelled. You took a step back, he had never raised his voice with you.

"I-I, sorry." You stammered, looking down. It was silent for a few moments, until you heard heavy breathing. You glanced up at Jug, who now had tears streaming down his face. His chest was heaving, and he sat on the floor. He placed his head in his hands, shaking his head. You kneeled beside him, rubbing his back.

"Juggy, what's wrong?" You asked. He continued to shake his head.

"Hey, breathe with me." You moved his face so he was looking at you, and you exaggerated your breathing. The two of you sat there for a few minutes, until Jughead was breathing normally again. You hugged him tightly.

"Please tell me what's wrong." You whispered. He nodded, hugging you tighter. You smiled, you were gonna have your Juggy back.

Betty Cooper:

Betty was stressed, that was no secret. But you had known Betty for years, and she wasn't really one to crack under pressure. But her she was, crying harder than she ever had into your sweater. You had been attempting to calm her down with words, but anything you said just made her cry more. So you shut up, and now you were just holding her tight. She was clutching her bedsheets, and she could barely breathe. You didn't know what to do, and you were getting more and more worried by the second. You finally pulled away, looking at her face. It was completely red, with black streaks running down her cheeks. She looked at you for a moment, then pushed you gently so you were laying down. She then laid down beside you, resting her head on your chest. You hugged her, and she had finally started to calm down.

"I'll buy you a new sweater." She promised. You chuckled.

"That won't be necessary." You assured her. She laughed a bit, wiping her tears away.

"I love you, (y/n)." She whispered. You kissed her forehead.

"I love you too."

Veronica Lodge:

Neither of you really knew what happened. The two of you were watching a movie, cuddling. When you looked down at Ronnie, she had tears in her eyes.

"Ronnie? What's wrong?" You asked. She stood up.

"I gotta go." She walked straight out of your house. You jumped up, running out after her. She was pacing up and down the sidewalk.

"Ronnie!" You called, rushing up to her. She glanced at you, attempting to keep herself together. She broke down, her breathing becoming erratic and heavy. You hugged her, rubbing her back. You let her cry until she felt okay again.

"What's wrong, darling?" You questioned, once again. She sighed, shaking her head. She leaned into your chest, and the two of you sat outside for hours, just watching the stars.

Hi! I figured I would put out a second update, just to get the ball rolling! These updates are gonna be pretty erratic, but I will hopefully never go more than a week without updating. I'm also sorry Betty's and Veronica's were so short, I was kind of running out of ideas. Anyways, requests are always open! - Grace
