WARNINGS: nothing, literally just jughead being a huge crybaby
—
- You were on your way to Archie's to meet him, Jughead, Veronica, and Betty for a Friday movie night during the summer
- It wasn't disgustingly hot, if anything it was kinda cool
- Your eyes landed on the projector in Archie's backyard, they also landed on the redhead plugging it into an extentsion cord.
- Archie's head flipped in the other direction towards another shadowy figure
- You raised an eyebrow creeping over popping your head just enough for your eyes to see
- Your boyfriend Jughead sat on the lawn chair placed near the other, Archie chuckled at him.
- You were confused, about to enter the backyard Archie spoke up
"Jughead why don't you just tell her that? Not that hard."
"How am I supposed to know if she feels it back?"
- You pulled your sweater sleeves down to cover your hands, tilting your head you continued to listen in
"Jug, it's more than clear that she loves you back. The fact that I actually have to tell you that is sad, wouldn't you think the journalist who pays close attention to everything would've caught the idea that his girlfriend loves him back?"
"H-Hey shut up."
- The voice crack is what caught you off guard, you've never seen Jughead cry, besides the one tear slipping from his eye when the Jason video was played
- Your eyes flickered back and forth between Jughead and Archie
"Are you crying Jug?"
"N-No."
"Ohmygod Jughead Jones is crying over a girl."
- Your heart practically squeezed itself, the pieces were finally being put together in your head
- Jughead got up facing the other way, towards the other houses
"You don't understand Arch.. she's everything to me."
- A smirk faded into Archie's face
"Now, I don't wanna ruin this for you but, you're going off but when I kiss Bet's cheek you groan i'm frustration?"
"Uh no, you don't kiss her cheek, you fucking slam your tongue into her mouth."
- A soft giggle escaped your lips, your eyes watered gently
- Archie rolled his eyes at his friend
"Fine whatever continue your little sap story."
"Excuse me?"
"Wait that was yesterday oops, ya know? When you were like 'Oh I love Y/N, I love her so much. Her Y/E/C eyes make my heart melt'"
- Jughead looked down and more tears escaped his eyes
"...I'm in love with her."
- Your heart was beating out of your chest, you wiped your eyes with you sleeves before walking into the yard
- Both Archie and Jughead's heads snapped in your direction
- You smiles softly at the two before Archie spoke up
"Uhh Hi! Did you just get here?"
- You shook your head laughing gently
- That's when Jughead's eyes widened, a light blush appearing onto his face
- Archie smirked wiggling his eyebrows before making up an excuse that he needed to grab something from inside
- The door shut, you turned to look at Jughead, his eyes were starting to water again
"So, you're in love with me."
- Jughead nodded
"I-I was going to-to tell you but I was afraid of how you'd react."
- This time your eyes started to water
"Archie's right, how would the smartest guy I know not catch on?"
- Jughead was silent, his hand messing with his collar, until realization hit him
"Y-You love me?"
- You nodded letting a couple tears slip
"More than anything Juggie."
