Circumlocution ≫ Jarchie

[Chapter Eleven]

Present

"This is so good." Jughead rolls his eyes to the back of his head.

Archie just laughs, stealing a smile at the raven haired beauty. "We should probably get back on the road." He points out.

"Let me finish this." He pouts before continuing to finish off his fries.

"Can I have some?" He asks sheepishly.

"You have a lot of nerve asking me that." Jughead raises an eyebrow.

"But?" Archie asks hopefully.

"Fine, but only because I'm not completely cruel although I wish I was." Jughead sighs before pushing the rest of his plate to Archie.

"You're an angel." He says happily before digging into the fries. Clay comes back to the table with a check and a suggestive smirk on his face.

"Tell me why my friend at the karaoke booth just excitedly spoke to me about a hot green eyed boy with an amazing ass?" Clay laughs. Jughead automatically blushes and looks down at the table as Archie merely rolls his eyes before replying.

"Because he's right." Archie smirks.

Jughead looks up, staring at Archie with surprised eyes before a smirk settles back onto his face and he's eyeing Archie up and down suggestively.

"Please stop having eye sex. It's making me uncomfortable." Clay grimaces as Archie looks over Jughead in the same manner, wondering when the love of his life got so confident and why the look he's giving him has caused a new wave of lust to wash over him.

"Arch, pay the man. Would you? The faster you do it the faster we can get out of here." Jughead says almost seductively, reaching his hand underneath the table and resting it on his thigh. Archie is too blinded by the situation to even question his motives before he blinks and nods eagerly, his mind over taken by the boy's charm. He takes out his wallet and drops the amount before waving goodbye to Clay, grabbing Jughead's hand, and practically pulling him out of the restaurant. The walk to the car seems to calm Archie's mind down though. He almost laughs at himself over the whole thing. He probably just imagined it. Jughead would never want to have sex with him. Archie had learned to respect that a long, long time ago. Jughead was hurt so much physically, that Archie doesn't even blame him for not wanting to engage in something so private and intimate. The looks and the words Jughead spoke to him must've just been taken out of context. They, Jughead and Archie, Jarchie, are out of the question. Sex is out of the question. It isn't until Archie makes it to the driver's side of the car that he decides to clear the air.

"You know, you shouldn't stare at me like that because for a second there I almost thought that you- mmmghh." Archie begins to tease, but is interrupted by Jughead pinning him to the side of the car and attaching his lips to his neck, sucking agonizingly slow on the sensitive skin. "Oh my gosh." Archie breathes out shakily as Jughead presses himself up against him and hums. He can't help but to feel like putty in his arms and he hates himself for enjoying this so much. Why is he enjoying this so much? "Jug- Juggy, stop." Archie manages to say, causing Jughead to immediately stop and stare up into his eyes with his own piercing green ones.

"Isn't this what you've always wanted?" Jughead cocks his head to the side, using his charm again.

"Isn't this what you've always been reluctant to do?" Archie fires back, his charm no longer working on him.

"That was before I actually had sex." Jughead snorts.

"You're not a virgin anymore?" Archie asks quietly, unable to hide the sadness in his eyes as he stares into Jughead's unwavering ones. Archie used to be able to look into Jughead's eyes with one glance and read him so well. His eyes were always the most honest part of him. They held so much emotion, so much depth, and maybe that's what drew him in. Now? Now his eyes were void of emotion, covered by a translucent wall of pain that refused to crumble.

"Didn't I just say that?" Jughead laughs slightly.

"How was it?" Archie asks shyly, looking down at his shoes to avoid looking into Jughead's unrevealing eyes. Jughead never managed to move away from the redhead, and the latter didn't make any attempts to move him.

Jughead raises an eyebrow at the question, a playful grin spreading across his face.

"I don't mean it like that!" Archie blushes red once he catches sight of his expression. "I mean, were they gentle with you? It being, you know, your first time and all. Did they make sure you were comfortable?" He mumbles before looking up at the beautiful mess in front of him. Jughead's eyes widen out of shock, and Archie can swear he sees something flash in his eyes, but in a second that wall is put back up again and Jughead settles himself.

"My first time was with a girl. I just let her do whatever to me so I guess in a sense I didn't do much but lay there." Jughead shrugs.

"Was it consensual?" Archie asks worriedly.

"Yeah, I guess." Jughead shrugs again.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means yeah I agreed to it, but only because I was in a really bad place at the time and at that point I was willing to do anything to get my mind off of what was going on, even if that meant having sex." Jughead sighs honestly, his wall crumbling again as he curses himself. He's been able to pull off this act for the last year. The act of a confident, carefree, brutally honest boy and then Archie comes along and all of a sudden he's falling to pieces and can't keep it together.

"So you didn't enjoy it?" Archie bites his lip.

"Yeah, I did actually. I kind of have sex all the time now. It means nothing to me, it's just a distraction and it feels really good."

"Oh, what about your... other virginity." Archie blushes.

"You mean my ass virginity?" Jughead laughs. Archie nods, even more embarrassed now. "It wasn't slow, or sweet, or movie perfect, if that's what you're asking." He sighs before finally pulling away from Archie.

"I would've made sure it was slow, and sweet, and movie perfect." Archie mumbles under his breath. Honestly, Archie thought that he was always going to take Jughead's virginity. Knowing that someone who didn't care one tenth as much as Archie, took his virginity?  It hurts. Archie believes that Jughead is worth so much more than meaningless hookups and rough sex.

"You can show me now, if you're up for it." Jughead offers, trying not to show that he wants it as much as he does but he's pretty sure it comes off that way anyways when he can see that Archie has a certain look on his face. It's the face he makes when he's successfully been able to read him like he's always been able to do.

"Do you really think that's the best idea? You just got finished damning me to hell an hour ago." Archie sighs.

"Do you want me, Arch?" Jughead smirks, knowing full and well the answer to that question.

"Obviously." Archie huffs.

"Then show me." Jughead smiles before grabbing his hand and opening the backseat of the car for the two to disappear into.

So yeah, I try to avoid that.
