Take my hand, take my whole life too

It was a day like any other, except that Jughead woke up feeling loved and physically very warm. Forcing himself to open his eyes, it was 6:45am only 15 minutes before the alarm would sound. Jughead allowed himself those 15 minutes of relaxation in his boyfriends arms.

Said boyfriend - none other than Archie Andrews, Riverdale's golden boy - is currently still asleep, head tucked in Jughead's shoulder, only drooling slightly (Jughead would disagree). Jughead would be quite happy if he never had to move ever again and to just stay wrapped in Archie's arms and the comfortably warm duvet. However, the growing pressure on his bladder disagreed.

Groaning quietly, Jughead made a sneaky escape from the bed and inched his way towards the bathroom. He spent considerably more time than he intended in there, deciding to start his morning routine washing his face and brushing his teeth.

He must have missed the 7am alarm as when he got back Archie was looking a lot more awake and less peaceful, Jughead could help but laugh lightly at the red head. "Not funny," Archie groaned, sitting up from his position on the bed, "I'm so tired Jug." His voice was low, evident that he had just woken up and Jughead allowed himself a few seconds to appreciate it.

Jughead turned to get his clothes, turning back to see Archie lying back on his bed and curled into the convers. "Archie c'mon, it's Friday, please just get up." Jughead made his way to the edge of the bed, prodding Archie with his hand till he stirred. "Okay, okay, I'm up!" Jug threw his arms up in defeat, backing away from the bed to allow Archie space to get up while he gathered the rest of his clothes.

"Ah! Fuck," Jughead jumped, feeling strong arms wrap around his midsection and Archie's chin resting on his shoulder, "I'm up," Archie smiled into his ear. "Hmmm, I see that, now all you need to do is get ready." Jughead pulled away, briefly pressing a kiss onto Archie's cheek before leaving him to get ready.

"Morning Jug." Fred Andrew's voice greeted him as he reached the bottom of the stairs, "Archie up yet?" his newspaper laid out in front of him and coffee in hand, he barely looked up at Jug which Jughead found familiar and calming. "Barely," Jughead's sarcasm was a 24/7 thing, missing out the parts where Fred's son possibly tried to attempt an initiation of morning sex as reward of getting up.

Jughead was sure that the whole neighbourhood could hear his boyfriend running down the stairs but he smiled fondly at Archie's heavy footing. "Morning," Archie announced, his head into the fridge before anyone could reply. "Morning Arch," Fred replied, quickly folding his paper in half and standing up, "I'll see you guys later."

Archie was behind Jughead before the door closed, taking the same position as before, "Archie, what are you doing?" Jughead questioned his boyfriend's actions, twisting his head to see him better. Archie just smiled and kissed Jug briefly on the lips then the cheek, "'m just feeling affectionate today Jug, am I not allowed cuddles anymore?" his tone dropped in mock hurt but his smile remained.

"Hmmm I guess it's not a crime just don't get used to it," they both knew it was an empty threat but Archie nodded in agreement and placed a last kiss on Jughead's nose before moving away. "Ew Archie," Jughead could only complain weakly, his face over exaggeratedly scrunched up in disgust to which Archie laughed at before biting into an apple.

"C'mon then we're going to be late," Jughead said, moving from his chair to pick up his backpack, "and lord knows that'll annoy Betty." Archie hummed in response, throwing the rest of his apple into the bin after taking hurried bites, then put on his own backpack before leaving the house.

As soon as Archie put his keys in his pocket his hand was reaching for Jughead's, intertwining their finger Jughead pulled the redhead next to him. Stepping in time with each other, Jughead couldn't help swing their hands back and forth a little.
