Serendipity - A Bughead Fanfiction

six - secret

♥betty♥

It's been two weeks since Jughead and I kissed. 

No, we haven't mentioned it since. Not to anyone else, not even to each other. 

But god, what a kiss it was. While I don't have much experience having only kissed one boy-Kevin for fun- I'm sure that it was special. You don't get sparks with just any kiss, you know the sparks they talk about in movies? It was like that, maybe even more magical. I craved him so deeply now, but he had acted like it never happened these past few days, staying focused on his school work during tutoring sessions and obviously not mentioning it at lunch. 

Today, I'm gonna change that

Tutoring (It's a Wednesday)

"Hey, Jug!" I smile as he comes into the library, taking his usual seat.

He exchanges a weak smile back, "Hi."

I didn't want to yell at him, but it was irritating. He had been acting like this the whole two weeks, blunt and unfriendly. The only thing he'd talk to me about is if he needed help in his homework.

"Jug?"

"Hm?" he says, his eyes still on his papers.

"Why are you acting like that?" I say blatantly.

"Like what?" he says, no emotion to his voice.

"Like a fucking dick." I say, not being able to contain my anger. It felt good letting out the built up aggression.

His face turns sharply up to mine, his eyes wide at my harsh words. "What?"

"You're being so inconsiderate. I care about you, and not just as a friend. Yet here you are, not even acknowledging my presence for the past few weeks after what I thought was an amazing kiss. And I'm sorry to bring it up like this, but it hurts. You pulled me in and now you don't even mention it."

His face reads pure guilt and sorry. "Betty.. I- I'm sorry."

"Okay, but why did you do it? Did you just feel like taking advantage of me and my feelings? Was it just a game? I don't get it." 

"No! Of course not!"

"Are you gonna explain or not? If you don't have anything to say, I don't want to be here right now." When he stays quiet I continue, "I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."

A few steps in, he blurts "You're driving me crazy!"

I freeze at the words, turning and slowly walking back to him. "What?" I say as I now stand in front of him.

"I'm going crazy. For you. I don't- I've never had feelings like this before and I hate not having control over it."

I'm kind of confused, but then again I understand. 

He takes my silence as judgement. "I probably sound crazy to you."

"No." I shake my head, putting a hand on his arm. His chest rises at the contact.

"Betty, I've never had feelings for anyone the way I have feelings for you. Yeah, I've.. done stuff but with no feelings involved. I'm not used to this and frankly, I'm afraid."

"Juggie, if it makes you feel any better, neither have I. I've never had feelings for anybody, not even a meaningful kiss."

"Oh shit, you mean that was your first kiss and I left you hanging?"

I cross my arms and look down, embarrassed. "Well, basically, yeah."

"Oh, Betty, I'm so sorry." he says.

"No, it's fine. I understand." I nod. 

We stare for a bit before I decide to say..

"Jug, I know you're scared. But I like you a lot, and I'm hoping you like me back. We don't have to rush into this, but I know I want to try. Do you?"

"More than anything in the damn world." he says. His eyes are filled with something, almost as if they're on fire.

I smile at his answer. I raise an eyebrow and bite the side of my mouth, wondering what he wants exactly.

He lets out a shaky sigh. "Oh, fuck it. Be my girlfriend Betty, please." 

I laugh at his language while nodding, an uncontrollable wide grin on my face. Suddenly, his hands cup my face, pulling me to his lips. I put my hands over his as they still grip my cheeks, my thumb swaying back and forth on his hand. The slight tug on my bottom lip from his gripping teeth makes my body run wild. 

"Was it really necessary to lie, Jug?" A teasing voice says from behind me, Jug and I pulling apart in response. 

Jugheads hands fall to his sides and his face is red. I turn around to see Archie, instantly making my face turn the same deep shade as him.

"I knew it! I knew it!" Archie chants, practically dancing towards us as he jumps and spins.

I scoff at his childish reaction. 

Archie starts making kissy faces and sounds as he nears Jughead. Jughead pulls his head back in response, trying to keep away from Archie. "Cut it out, Arch." Jughead says.

Archie loosely puts an arm around Jug, turning to face me. "So, Betty. When did you tell Veronica and Kevin?"

I stutter. "Th-There was nothing to tell until just now."

"Well, we've kissed before, Betts." Jughead adds.

I cross my arms, giving him the death stare.

"O-Or we didn't!" Jughead says, putting his hands up in surrender.

"Oh, Betty. They aren't gonna be happy that I find out before them." Archie taunts.

"Shut it! I'll tell them, Jesus." I say rolling my eyes.

"Awhhh, no need to cry Betty." Jughead teases.

God, these two together where a pain in the ass.

Jughead pulls me by the hand and takes me under his arm, the three of us now standing in a chain. 

"We're just teasing." Jughead says pulling me closer.

I keep my happy smile in check, sarcastically saying "I hate you guys."
