( FAVORITE SERPENT )

by kituallives

It was a normal day for Y/N, working on the motorbikes for the southside serpents. She has been involved in the Southside Serpents since she can remember. She was born into it just like Jughead Jones.

She was currently working on Sweetpea's ride while listening to the radio when she heard a car pull into the lot. She looked up from the bike to see Reggie Bloody Mantle.

She didn't exactly like him in the first place but when he joined the 'Red Circle' with the Andrew kid, it made you put your walls up...especially when he would pop into the garage you was working at once a week.

He says it's because he wants to get to know you better but you thought otherwise. Without turning, you put your H/L H/C in a ponytail and start talking.

"Watcha want Mantle? Got a busy day today"

"Can't I come and see my favourite Serpent? Can't make time for lil ol' me??"

"You sure I'm not Serpent scum? And no. No I don't"

"Okay I will admit that saying 'serpent scum' was a little bit out of line...I'm sorry."
Y/N scoffs while reaching for a spanner.

"A little?! Wow Mantle."

"I said I was sorr-"

"Sometimes....Sorry don't cut it. Words sting more than actions."

"Y/N...."

Y/N sighs and looks up to the ceiling. Just the thought of the Northsiders calling her family scum always took a toll on her and would upset her to the point where she would shut herself off from everybody.

"Just go home Mantle. I don't want to have this conversation. Not today, not tomorrow and not ever."

"You can start pushing me away Y/N but I'm seriously not going anywhere."
Reggie moved towards a stool that was next to Y/N's workstation, folding his arms and staring at her intently while she works.

"You think you're all that because you're in the Northside? That's funny."

"It might be hard for you to understand Y/N/N...but I do care about you."

She's scoff again and chuckle at his statement.

"Oh Mr. Reggie Mantle... You do not know me at all so how can you care about me?"

"Might of annoyed the hell out of Jones and Andrews to get to know more about you."

"Not Creepy at all Mantle"

"Come on Y/N/N at least I'm trying here. Stop pushing me away.."

Y/N stops what she is doing and walks to her workstation leaning on the table. She lets out a huff of breath and folds her arms.

"I'm so going to regret this."

She turns her head towards Reggie to see he has a hopeful look on his face.

"One date. At Pop's..8pm tomorrow night?"

Reggie leaps from the stool and goes towards Y/N picking her up and spinning her around as if they are in a cliche romance scene. He kisses her cheek and smiles down at her.

"You're seriously not gonna regret this. Promise."

He speed walks to his car before turning around and shouts across the lot.

"CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW Y/N/N"

She waves him off before turning back to the bike and starts doing the finishing touches. She mumbles to herself.

"Such an idiot.."

Sweetpea walks into the garage and smiles to Y/N.

"My ride done Y/N/N? And also Mantle?"

"Yes and shut up"

She chuckles and chucks her rag and his keys at him.

"Take it and go. I'm gonna go watch a film"

She struts away from the garage to her bike, looking forward to tomorrow to her date with Reggie Mother-Fudging Mantle.
