Jughead returned home from a long meeting with his publisher to find Betty asleep on the couch wearing unicorn pyjamas and a bear dressing gown. laughing to himself at how she looked he slowly crept over to her and took the book that was slipping out of her hand and placed in on the coffee table along with her phone. He settled down at the end of the couch,trying not wake her and turned on the TV and started watching friends. half an hour later Jug was in the kitchen making coffee when Betty made her way over and sat at one of the stools. "ahh your awake now?" jug said smirking at her. she responded by glaring at him,causing him to laugh. "now as much as i love how adorable you look as a bear, why do you own a bear dressing gown at age 20?" he questioned. "because its soft" she giggled. He poured two cups of coffee and slid one over to her on the counter. "so why don't you get dressed and i'll take you somewhere" Jug said, taking a sip of his coffee. "sure, be right back". Betty went into her room and put on some tights, a pink skirt and a white sweater and he black boots and returned to the kitchen to find Jughead in his coat and scarf. He handed her, her coat and they left their apartment. Over the past few weeks Jug and Betty had become closer than ever and flirting became a daily part of their routine; so it was no surprise when jug reached to grab her hand and pulled her down the busy New York streets. After about 10 minutes of walking Betty finally asked: "so are you going to tell me where we are going?" she questioned. "nope" he said, flashing her a cheeky smile. eventually he came to a stop and let go of her hand, Betty instantly missed the feeling of their intertwined hands. "okay we're here" he announced, she glanced around and realised they were at an outdoor ice skating rink. "ice skating?" she asked curiously. "yes now come on" he grabbed her hand again, pulling her in the direction to the little hut where you rent the skates. once they had them, they found a bench and started to put them on. Jug glanced over at Betty who was very quiet and had gone pale. "betts? are you okay?" he asked, she just nodded and he helped tie her skates. Just before they got on the ice, Betty froze. "i can't" she whispered, causing Jug to turn around. "a few years ago i was skating with my friends and someone pushed me and i fell and broke my arm and everyone took photos and videos and posted it online and... it was so humiliating and now i haven't been on the ice since" she said, not meeting his gaze the whole time. "hey, betts look at me" he put his hands on her cheeks, causing her to look at him. "i'm sorry that happened betts but i promise i wont let you fall and i'm going to be by your side the whole time okay?" "do you promise?" she looked up at him, her eyes wide and glossy. "i promise". she nodded and he lead her onto the ice.
