"You Know I'm Only Into The Kinky Shit In The Bedroom."

- - - - 

Rosalie was relieved when she came off her medication. She wasn't going to miss the constant nagging from Leon, who had the pleasure of reminding her repeatedly to take the tablets.

She felt better than she had in a long time, though she had her reasons. Not only did she survive a burglary, as did Fred Andrews, but she had her best friend back by her side.

She was heading to work, much to Leon's annoyance. The boy didn't want to leave her alone, he wanted to spend every minute with her. He wanted to protect her, not that she wanted, nor did she need protection.

When she arrived outside the Diner she frowned. Someone had wrote 'Death Diner' on the side of the building. The act of hatred, of spite, probably from some thug who didn't care about the Diner, about Pop, didn't stop her from entering the building.

"Pop?" she called out. She felt her heart break as she saw Pop leaning over the counter, his head in his hands. "Oh Pop."

The door opened behind the girl. "Rose? Pop?" Jughead spoke.

"Did you see? Did you see what they wrote on my Diner?" Pop asked, his voice shaking with each word he spoke.

"I'm so sorry Pop" Rosalie whispered as she approached the man.

"They wrote 'Death Diner' Rue and they're right. This place, this town, it's falling apart." Rosalie wrapped her arms around the man she considered to be her grandfather.

"It's okay Pop, everything will be okay." Pop shook his head. "No, it's not, it won't. That man, he hurt you, he hurt you little Rue. He hurt Fred Andrews. Who knows who he'll hurt next?"

Jughead looked around the Diner and noticed how empty it was, not even any staff. "Where are your Staff?" "They all quit, each and every one of them" he replied shocking both teens, Rosalie more than Jughead. "Even James?" "Even James" Pop confirmed.

"Look Pop, we'll get through this, okay?" Rosalie told him. He shook his head. "I might not even last the week. I'll have to close down the Diner."

"I'll do whatever it takes to keep the Diner open" Rosalie assured him. "I appreciate it Rue, but I don't want you to get hurt." "No one can hurt me, not without my consent" she replied.

Of course it was a lie, she had already been hurt multiple times, even by those she considered friends. But she had to be brave, she had to stay strong for Pop.

Pop smiled slightly. "You should get to school, I'm sure Leon is waiting for you. We both know he isn't a very patient boy." She kissed his head. "I love you, Pop." "I love you too, Rue."

Rosalie left the Diner and Jughead followed her. "How are you doing, Rose?" Jughead asked concerned for his friend. "I don't know. I honestly don't know how, or what to feel right now" she confessed. "You'll be okay, you're a strong girl" he replied.

A small smile appeared on Rosalie's face as she looked at him. He had done so much for her, despite them only recently becoming friends, he was there for her more than her old friends.

"Thank you Jug, words can't describe how much I appreciate everything you've done for me." "We're friends, friends look out for each other, right?"

"Man, I missed this" Leon said as he walked through the corridor, Rosalie by his side. "You missed this hell hole of a school?" she asked confused. He grinned. "Not so much the school, more the chaos, the disasters, the danger." Rosalie chuckled. "Yeah, you've pretty much described Riverdale, at least how Riverdale has been recently."

Leon put his arm around Rosalie's shoulder. "By the way, I still have to meet these Serpent friends of yours."

A loud groan escaped Rosalie's mouth at the thought. She knew they'd get along, that wasn't the problem, she knew he'd get along great with Oscar and it would be disastrous for those around the two.

"Why can't I have anything to myself?" "Because Sweetie, we're a matching set. Besides, I'm curious to see if any of them are cute" he whispered.

Rosalie hit his arm. "That hurt. I'm curious on when our relationship turned abusive. You know I'm only into the kinky shit in the bedroom" he said causing her to hit him harder, multiple times. "Ow, Ow! Rosalie, what the fuck!" he whined as she hit his head.

"I needed to knock some sense into you" she replied with a wink. He chuckled. "I love you too, Rose."

They carried on walking. "Have you got your eye on anyone?" he asked. She shrugged. "Not really. I mean I kissed one of my 'new' friends, though I didn't feel anything. We decided to just be friends." "Does that mean I can have him?" he asked. She glared at him and he laughed, he enjoyed winding her up.

"Holy Shit! Am I seeing things or is this really Leon Walker?" Chuck asked as he approached the two.

Chuck and Leon's relationship didn't start off well, though neither did his relationship with Jason. Both Jason and Chuck were once going to force Leon to stay away from Rosalie, that is until they found out he was gay. The trio became almost inseparable, until Leon left.

"I'm here, in the flesh, sexier than ever" Leon replied as he removed his arm from Rosalie.

"I heard you were back, though I wasn't sure if it was just another rumour. Rumours seem to be spreading more than usual" Chuck stated. Leon hummed. "So I've heard."

Chuck smiled as he punched his friend's arm. "Are you trying out for Football again?" Leon scoffed as he shook his head. "Not this time. I just want to chill through school, no football, no chaos, no drama."

Rosalie rolled her eyes while Chuck was confused. Leon just spoke the most unlikely words. He loved drama, at least normal high school drama.

A grin played on Leon's face. "I'm kidding. Though football is a no, I don't trust you guys, not since the disgusting, degrading Playbook, which by the way, you told me you destroyed."

Chuck chuckled nervously. "Yeah, we lied to you." Leon rolled his eyes. "No shit Sherlock. I know everything that's happened recently, everything."

"What do you mean, everything?" Chuck glanced at Rosalie who shrugged. He was unsure just how much his old friend knew.

"I know Jughead's birthday was a disaster. There's a rich bitch who think she rules the school and it's not Cheryl, shocker. I know the Playbook was leaked, Reggie's a asshole, Serpents aren't that bad and Archie's lucky his Dad just came out of hospital, otherwise I'd smash his face into the ground" Leon explained.

Chuck and Rosalie's eyes both went wide, though they knew he wasn't joking. Leon loved Rosalie, she was his best friend, his sister, his everything, he would do anything to protect her.

"Did Cookie tell you about the Semi Formal?" Chuck asked a teasing smirk on his face. Rosalie rolled her eyes as she pushed the boy. She knew exactly what he was talking about. "You can go now Chuck." The boy ignored her as he smirked at Leon. "She made out with Reggie."

A loud, frustrated groan escaped Rosalie's mouth. She would have told her best friend at one point, she just didn't find it important. 

"Awesome, I honestly don't give a shit about it" Leon said.

Rosalie smiled smugly at Chuck. "Great. Now you can go, leave us in peace, bye, bye." She waved at the boy who chuckled. "I'll see you two later."

When Chuck was out of sight Leon smirked at Rosalie. "Now who wants me all to herself?" he teased. She pushed him. "Go fuck yourself."

I've just realised Leon is pretty much a male version of Madison.
