Rule - Sweet Pea (1)

The Smartest thing that ever came out of your mouth

Rule was half asleep with her head in Sweet Peas lap, his hands absentmindedly stroking her hair, listening to Jughead rant about how the demolition of south side high wasn't that, it was an execution. Any other day, Rule would've been sitting beside her cousin, but she was rather tired from basically going 48 hours straight with no sleep. Lets just say, the two of them had been celebrating. A lot.

"Rule," She was snapped from her lustful daze by Toni, Sweet Pea smirking down at Rule as if he was reading her thoughts. "Why didn't you tell me about the other night!" Toni basically screeched, shaking her best friend by the upper arms. Rules eyes flickered to Sweet Pea, both parties a little red in the face. "I was uh, busy." Fangs barked out a laugh that turned into a cough when Sweet Pea thumped him on the back, Toni understanding exactly what that meant. "Uh huh, i'm sure you were. Now show them to me!" Rule amusedly held out her left hand, pulling the necklace out of her shirt with her right hand. Toni stared in awe, and Rule couldn't blame her, she'd hardly stopped looking at them long enough to blink. "Gorgeous," Toni cooed, Sweet Pea wrapping an arm around Rules midsection from behind. "Indeed she is," He placed a kiss to Rules temple, Toni rolling her eyes at the couple and bidding them goodbye.

"Jesus, my tits are turning into freaking ice cubes!" Rule screeched, Toni rolling her eyes and Sweet Pea smirking. "Come here," Rule squirmed her way into Sweet Peas side, wrapping her arms around his midsection and resting her head on his chest. "You know," Sweet Pea murmured low enough for only her to hear "I could always warm em up for you." Rule couldn't help but laugh, getting warmer by the second despite the freezing temperature outside of south side high. "You two are ridiculous," the couple turns to look at a scowling serpent girl, Taylor "it's basically the end of times cold and you're eye fucking each other." Rule rolled her eyes, cocking her head at the blonde girl and smiling fakely. "Honey, you really shouldn't talk. The smartest thing that ever came out of your mouth was a penis."

"Oh look, the cavalry's arrived." Rule turned away from the argument she clearly just won to look at her cousin and the traitorous redhead riding a bike. The two argue for a few moments, Rule finally getting tired of it and speaking up, not moving from her spot. "Look Archie, unless Hiram wants the blood of eight young serpents on his hands, no to mention the blood of my parents he already has, we're not going anywhere." Archie stands there in shock at Rules confession and hard glare of sudden hatred, regret in his eyes as he rides away. Sweet Pea rubs Rules arms in comfort and kisses her temple, Rule burrowing her head into the crook of his neck, only able to do so because of the heeled boots on her feet. "We should probably set up our tent," Sweet Pea shivers when Rules breath fans his neck, swallowing thickly and grabbing the abandoned tent from the ground, setting it up off to the side away from everyone.

Rule rolled out both sleeping bags, kicking her boots off and unbuttoning her plaid flannel. In her low skinny jeans and black cropped camisole, Rule pulled her curls into a high ponytail and plopped down onto the sleeping bag. "I brought you your white chocolate hot chocolate angel," Rule smiled up at Sweet Pea as he sat down next to her, handing her the warm drink and taking a sip of his own. "Thanks for staying with my crazy ass," Rule sighs, resting her head in Sweet Peas lap. Sweet Pea chuckles, grabbing the back of his shirt and pulling it over his head, something that always made Rule crazy with want. He smirked down at her, sitting their empty hot chocolate containers in the corner and laying flat. Rule shifts her body so she's laying on top of him, hands pressed against his bare chest. "I'll always stay with you angel," The words manage to hit Rules ears before she falls asleep completely, leaving Sweet Pea to his thoughts.

.................

The very next morning, after Sweet Pea and Rule had gone to warm up, each and every serpent that was there the night before returned. Sweet Peas face turned beet red when the pair came back, still a little breathless and hand in hand, to find Fp giving them a knowing look that made Sweet Pea hide behind Rule. Which was impossible, by the way, since he was a whole foot taller than her. "I brought you guys some burgers, unless you already ate." Fp smirked at the two of them, thrusting at two hamburgers that they silently took. Placing themselves on the steps of the school stairs, the pair quietly munched on their hamburgers, a comforting silence surrounding them before chaining themselves back up.

A few hours later the school was surrounded by protestors, Rules heart sinking when a familiar redhead made their way through the crowd, followed by the bulldogs. "Oh fuc- Jughead!" Rule shouted, nodding her head in that direction considering her arms are literally chained to her sides. Sweet Pea subconsciously stepped closer to Rule, Fp stepping up to Archie. "Cops may have let you by Red, but you come in here acting like a big man and i'll knock you down!" Jughead and Rule stepped forward, pulling Fp back.

"I'm sorry Jughead, Rule." Rule laughs bitterly, stepping closer to Archie while Jughead talks. "Me too, i'm not gonna fight you Archie. Look around. It may have taken a couple of days, but know everyone knows what Hiram is really doing. This fights not going to go away." Rule lifts her hands up to Archie, staring him dead in the eye as she spoke.

"So go ahead and cut us down, but when you get back to your little bestie, ask him if he remembers killing Abby and Rj Jones." Archies eyes go wide at her next words, gasps collectively heard all around. "Cause I was there. I watched it happen. And I have proof." Rule wasn't sad, she was ultimately, uncontrollably, and unimaginably pissed. So when Archie had finished cutting everyone's chains off, leaving Rule for last, she did the one thing everyone yet no one was expecting. She punched Archibald Andrews so hard that he was knocked backwards onto the pavement, and everyone, including the bulldogs, let her.

And that night, a redheaded boy lost one of his best friends, who would never return to him.

A/N - Hey guys! I love getting your comments throughout the book they always make my day, so don't be afraid to leave more! Also, I know it seems like we've just brushed the surface of the whole Nick St. Clair and rape for Rule, but i'm going to address that more in the second book. Hope you all have a great day and find someone who loves you as much as Rule loves Sweet Pea. Lord knows I need that luck.
