Toni's Perspective:

"Cher!" I shouted up the long staircase in Thistlehouse. "We're going to be late and I promised them 7 o'clock!" I don't know why she feels the need to spend so much time getting ready, she's so gorgeous; though this time it feels more like she is procrastinating to stall for time. She practically threw a fit when I suggested this double date, saying, and I quote, "I would rather have perished in the burning flames of Thornhill than listen to Nancy Drew grovel over her guard dog". I know. How sweet. Still funny though.

"Okayy" I heard her groan as she appeared at the top of the stairs in a beautiful green wrap around skirt and white blouse, complete with black ankle boots and her spider brooch. My mouth went dry and for a second I considered cancelling to stay at home to worship her in the best way I knew how.

"Besides, do you think all of this just happens?" She added, snapping me out of my thoughts as I saw she was now stood directly in front of me, apparently not questioning my moment of awe struck silence.

"Yes I do" I smirked as she wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed me slowly. I pulled away after a few seconds as to not let her deepen it.

"Nuh uh Bombshell, you are not going to distract me. We're going to meet up with Betty and Jughead, so come on" I said, watching her pull out her phone as she got a notification from someone or other.

"Wait" She said, causing me to turn to look at her with my eyebrows raised questioningly. "It's only 6:35 and Pop's is 15 minutes away. You said we were running late?" She accused me, frown deepening when she saw the smirk on my face.

"Got you down here, didn't it? I knew you were trying to make us late" I responded, turning away from her playfully annoyed expression to go out to my mototcycle, giggling to myself.

Cheryl's Perspective:

When we walked through the door Hobo and Nancy Drew were already sat at a table, talking together as if they were in their own little bubble. They didn't even notice us as we walked in. I knew this was my last chance to escape and looked at Toni with pleading eyes, hoping that pouting at her would help sway her. A raised eyebrow and minute shake of the head told me I was wrong, and I released a heavy sigh as we sat down in the opposite side of the booth, finally attracting the attention of the vultures in front of us.

"Hey guys, sorry to keep you waiting, I didn't know you'd be here yet. Someone refused to go more than 10 miles per hour on the motorbike as to not mess up their hair" Toni explained, glaring at me playfully, causing Romeo and Juliet to giggle slightly.

"Yeah, well, that same someone didn't even want to come tonight" I grumbled, eventually also breaking out into a smile, knowing I was being dramatic. Betty raised an eyebrow at the exchange before speaking.

"Don't worry about it, I know how important beauty is" She said with a wink. "Besides, we were actually discussing something anyway before you came in" She added as the two of them shared a knowing look. I was instantly filled with inevitable curiosity, though I did my best to hide it since I still had a reputation to uphold, and couldn't make people think I was actually interested in anything but Toni and color schemes. Luckily, Toni spoke up for both of us.

"Well you can't say something like that and not give details. Come on spill. We promise we won't tell anyone, will we Cher?" She looked at me expectantly, nudging me when I just scoffed.

"Yeah okay we won't tell" I muttered with an eyeroll, leaning into Toni and smiling softly when she wrapped a protective arm around my waist. My eyes closed briefly and I looked up just in time to see Jughead mouth "whipped" to Toni, and whilst normally I would've had something to say I couldn't bring myself to disagree. I was wrapped around Toni's finger and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

"So anyways, what's up guys?" Toni said as she took a sip of the milkshake that Pop Tate had just placed in front of her. Betty and Jughead looked at each other before Jughead started speaking.

"So you know when my dad announced he was retiring? And he said I would be Serpent King?" He started, continuing at our nods. "Well I was just talking to Betty, and I think she would be a perfect Serpent Queen" He finished with a loving smile on his face, glancing at Betty before blushing and looking away. It was a move so simple yet so sweet, and it was like looking at Toni and I. I took a moment to digest the news, and was surprised that I felt none of the expected disgust present in my emotions, only pride. How much I've changed.

"Betty that's amazing!" I exclaimed in pure happiness. "You definitely deserve it. And I'm sure the rest of the Serpents could use your brains, they've barely got one between them" Toni looked at me with an expression of mock offense, and I shook my head at her with a smile. "Not you, you dork" I said, leaning over to kiss her on the lips, feeling just as warm inside as I did the first one.

I saw Betty look over at me with a look on her face that I knew must mirror my own. A look of unrequited, undivided love fot our partners; and whilst Toni and I hadn't actually said the three magic words yet, I knew what I was feeling whenever I looked at her, knew that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I could tell Betty wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Toni clearing her throat.

"I'm just going to go to the bathroom to wash my hands. Will you come with me Cheryl?" She said, already taking my hand. I looked at Jughead and Betty's confused faces and shrugged before following Toni to the bathroom.

Toni's Perspective:

I stopped when we got into the empty bathroom, letting go of Cheryl's hand and turning to face her.

"Wha-" She started

"Thank you" I interrupted, stepping closer and taking hold of both of her hands.

"What for?" She questioned softly, her voice punctuated with genuine curiosity.

"For coming tonight. For being so happy for Betty when we both know that three months ago you would've been disgusted at the mere thought. I don't say it enough, but I really am proud of you. You're so strong, s-" She cut me off with a kiss, one that had me tingling all the way down to my toes with all of the emotions fighting for dominance in my mind. There was one clear winner though, one that was powerful, one that I felt whenever I looked at her. We had pulled apart for air, foreheads resting together, when I finally mustered up the courage to say it out loud.

"I love you, you know" I whispered, so quietly that I thought she might not hear me at first. The way her eyes instantly snapped open to meet mine indicated that she did. For a long moment I thought that she might not respond, or make a bolt for the door. But the longer I looked into her eyes the more I seemed to notice the pure love swimming in them, along with the pooling of unshed tears.

"I love you, Cheryl Bombshell"

She let out a shaky laugh and kissed me again, more passionate this time, and she poured all of her words into that one kiss. Her actions spoke louder than any words could have, but she still pulled back to whisper them against my lips.

"I love you too"

I kissed her again, softer, feeling my heart jump into my throat and the world become invisible around me. My hands had just began to roam underneath her shirt when she pulled back with a single word.

"Home"

I was surprised, expecting us to continue what we were doing in the bathroom, and also sure that I would not be able to wait that long. She must've seen the pleading look on my face because she took a step back, putting some distance between us and pointing a finger at me when I tried to move forward.

"No way Topaz. You are not about to jump my bones in a grimy public bathroom of all places. You can wait until we get home" She said as she reapplied her lipstick. "Also, we have guests to entertain" She added, already walking out of the door, knowing I would follow. She knew I would always follow.#
