"I can't believe you guys convinced me to do this," Jughead mumbled under his breath into the camera. He anxiously combed his hair back with his fingers and tried to stop biting his lip. He was beginning to taste blood.

He normally didn't make videos without Archie. Archie was his best friend, his center. He had an odd way of relaxing him. Most of the time, he forgot he was on camera when he was with the redhead.

He had no idea how he became one of the shyest Youtubers to ever exist.

Usually, Archie did the separate live streams on Instagram by himself for Q&A's. Jughead was too nervous to do them with him. The thought made him shaky. It was one thing to record a video that could be edited and another thing to have 10k people watch him stumble over his words frame by frame, instantaneously.

But today Archie was sick in bed and couldn't do the Q&A even if he wanted to. He could barely talk.

Jughead wanted to be upset, he really did, but Archie was really cute, like a little kid, when he was sick. He could ask Jughead to do anything for him under a sleepy NyQuil trance and he'd jump to it.

The raven haired beauty watched as comments flooded in and blushed at a few of them. He never really believed the "you're so cute" comments but he liked seeing them anyways.

"So how does this work exactly? I mean I watch Arch do them all the time but he has a way of making everything look easier than it actually is," he joked, trying to focus on the comments rather than the image of himself on the screen.

"We ask questions and you answer them babe."

"Right," Jughead said, facepalming. "Go ahead then."

"How come you're never active on social media? Do you not like us :( "

"What? No I love you guys I'm just awkward and really shy," he explained quickly. "Half the time I don't even get why you put up with me. I'm not really that interesting."

"What's something we don't know about you?"

Jughead had to think about it. "I don't know. I write. I'm not very good, but I like to do that. You guys pretty much know everything else about me. Sometimes too much," he said, cringing.

"How's college going?"

"With every passing day, a piece of my soul dies," he said sadly.

"Are you dating anyone?"

"Do I look like the type of person that could get somebody to go out with me?" Jughead asked incredulously. "The first time I asked someone out I actually passed out," he admitted.

He watched as more comments flooded in, some from those who were amused and some who believed that he was joking. He cleared up that he was not, in fact, joking, and soon the comments turned into ones of sympathy.

"Archie was there. Oh my gosh I'm kind of glad he's not here right now because then he'd tell the story," Jughead recalled, starting to blush again. "Anyways, next question."
