My Brother's Enemy// Sweet Pea x Reader

It's Official

No words were needed. Jug and I were at the start of the lineup. I cracked my knuckles as he rolled his neck. 

I've never been so ready for anything... 

Smoke emerged from behind us. I tied my hair up, and walked with Jughead. 

Several punches hit us from the start. A whimper left my mouth. A few tears escaped my eyes. 

This was nothing compared to the thoughts in my head before being expelled. I wanted to die, before finding this, a real home. With people I could call a family.

One of them pulled the collar of my plaid shirt and punched me, pushing me to the other side.

I was basically playing a game of human pinball, and I was the pinball...

Jughead fell.

"Jug if you don't get the hell up now I'll call you your real name for the rest of your life!" I pulled his tank.

Although he was in a lot of pain, he still hates his name and stood up. 

We finally reach the end of the line to be met with Sweets. 

"Is that all you got?" Jughead asks snarkily, causing me to jab his side.

Sweet Pea cracks his ringed knuckles, hitting jughead to the floor. I glance down at him, then up again to look at Sweet Pea expectantly. 

"Well? Go on and hit me now," I tell him, just waiting for this to be over so I can be called part of their family.

"(Y/n), just know I'm really sorry, forgive me later on." He says with worry in his eyes.

I nod, waiting for the metal to make contact with the soft human flesh. 

I can feel the cool material cling to my face. Falling back down, but I stand up, on the way I pull Jug's tank along with me. 

"I GAVE YOU MY WORD WHEN I SAY I RISE AND STAND FIRM! IN UNITY, THERE IS STRENGTH!" I shout, the other Serpents follow. Jug and I take turns shaking Sweet's hand. 

Toni then awards us with the leather jacket, the one that would show I was one of them... 

Jug and I place on the smooth leather leaving me to think...

Jughead did this because he believed someone should step up. I did this because I felt at home. We may have had different reasons for doing this but we knew we both made the right choices.

I walk over to Sweet Pea. I grab his jacket's collar to bring him right in front of my face. 

"I want a switchblade, asshole." 

He chuckles at me and walks up to a damn a drawer and grabs two out, one for me and the other for jug. 

I whisper into Pea's ear, "I want more..." 

His face flushes into a tint of pink. "DID THAT JUST MAKE YOU HARD? DIRTY BASTARD!" I laughed at him, making Jug, Toni, and of course Fangzy.

"What happened?" Fangz asks making Pea walk away to get the blades I asked for

I explain and they begin laughing at him too. Making him walk back in embarassment. "Aw, is our little Sweets embarrased," I tease

He then hands me five other switchblades and carried my body over his shoulder. 

"Hey Dickhead!"

"Yes, Firecracker?" 

Firecracker? I kinda like it...

"... I kinda like that... Also, can you lemme down?"

"Of course you like it, I made it up. And, nah." 

"Fine, at least spin me around like a helicopter!"

He laughs and agrees, slowly spinning me around and around like delicate China.

Finally, he sets me down, "I hate tall people," I whisper to Toni

"NO OFFENSE TALL BOY!" I shout to across the pub

"What?" I could hear his dangerously raspy voice and chuckled

I had tucked the blades into the little pocket the jacket had.

"Jug, we should leave and clean up our cuts and ice the tats before they get infected."
