Riverdale One Shots

Drunk (Cheryl and Archie)

The party was in full swing, Reggie's house was filled with Riverdale High students.

"Want a drink?" Betty asked Veronica.

"Yeah sure." Veronica answered. Betty walked over to the drink table and started to make drinks. She was interrupted by a sad yet drunk Cheryl.

"Cheryl are you okay?"

"No Betty I'm not. I'm in my ex boyfriends house for his birthday party and I couldn't feel any worse. But hey that's what alcohol is for." Cheryl said has she poured herself a shot and drank it. Betty looked worried and decided to call the only sober person here; Archie. Betty was in no state to help Cheryl.

"Everything okay Betty?" Archie asked.

"Uh can you take Cheryl home? She's had a bit too much." Betty asked.

"Uh yeah sure. I haven't touched a drink so it's all good."

"Great, Cheryl... Archie's going to take you home okay?" Betty said loud and clear.

"What? No! Why? I'm totally sober!" Cheryl argued. It caught Reggie's attention.

"Woah what's going on over here?" Reggie asked.

"Nothing Reg. Cheryl's just had a little bit too much, she's going home." Betty answered.

"Just like usual." Reggie said. Cheryl was taken back by it.

"Just like you couldn't keep it in your pants." Cheryl stated. Reggie sighed and walked away.

Archie could see Reggie mocking Cheryl to the rest of the jocks. So... he kissed Cheryl and made sure Reggie was looking. Cheryl was taken back. She didn't expect it at all.

"You're going home." Archie stated after the kiss and picked Cheryl up and flung her over his shoulder. He walked out of the house and placed a drunk Cheryl in the passenger seat of his pickup. He began to drive to Cheryl's house.

"Why am I never good enough?" Cheryl asked.

"Cheryl you are, let's just get you home."

"No I mean, the guys I want never want me. So I settle for shit people." Cheryl said. Archie didn't know what to say, thankfully they arrived at Cheryl's house.

He walked around and helped her get out of the truck. He walked her up to her door and waited for her to get her key out. Archie helped her get into the house. She fell... he picked her up and carried her up to her bedroom.

He placed her in her bed, he took her heels off and placed the blanket over her.

"Archie... I need some water." She asked. He walked into the bathroom and poured some water in a glass.

"Here."

"Thanks Arch. I'll see you at school on Monday." She said. Archie began to leave but he needed to say something.

"You know Cheryl, not everyone thinks of you like that."

"Like what?"

"Not good enough. Because you are, you just have to wait. Stop looking for things and forcing them to happen because the good things happen when you least expect them to." He said just before kissing her on the forehead.

"Goodnight Cheryl." Archie said has he walked away from the bed and shutting her bedroom door. He made his way home, but he couldn't help but think about Cheryl. He texted her;

Archie: Hey Cheryl, hope your heads okay after last night... maybe you wanna grab some lunch tomorrow? Let me know.
