When I Looked Into Your Eyes (Jughead X Archie) (Jarchie)

Sniffles

It had been about a week since the pair had come out to Ronnie and Betty and they were pretty content with life. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and all was well in the world. Archie got up early feeling refreshed and decided to make Jughead breakfast in bed. While he was cooking, Jughead woke up feeling groggy even though he had just slept a full ten hours.

'Ugh, why do I feel like I've been hit by a truck?' Jughead wondered tiredly

His head felt as though there were bricks attached to it and he was freezing, but he was sweating at the same time.

'Shit,' Jughead thought in realization, 'I'm sick. Damn it'

Jughead heard Archie's footsteps and quickly decided to hide the fact that he was sick out of fear of being coddled by his boyfriend.

"Morning handsome," Archie said in a warm and loving tone, holding a breakfast tray

"Morning Arch. What's this?" Jughead asked with a smile, internally praying that his voice wasn't raspy

Archie smiled happily, and replied, "Breakfast in bed. I wanted to treat you today."

Jughead smiled at Archie's sweet gesture, and replied, "Thanks Archie."

Archie beamed and leaned in for a kiss, but Jughead avoided it by taking a bite of the pancakes that Archie had made. Archie pouted, but quickly recovered when he remembered Jughead's love of food. When Jughead was done eating, Archie gave him a peck on the cheek and took the tray down to be washed.

*time skip*

Archie was lightly strumming his guitar while Jughead was laying on the bed, when Archie suddenly asked Jughead what he wanted to do that day.

"Nothing really. I'm kinda tired." Jughead responded

"Oh. Are you okay babe?" Archie asked worriedly

Jughead rolled his eyes, "Yeah Arch. I'm fine."

"It's not nightmares, is it? Because you know that you're supposed to wake me up when that happens, right?" Archie asked, worried about his boyfriend

"No Arch it's not that," Jughead sighed, "I'm just a little tired. I think I'm gonna take a nap. Okay?"

"Okay," Archie said

Jughead closed his eyes and felt relieved that the burning had stopped. He let out a sigh before rolling so that he was on his back.

*Time Skip to around an hour later*

Jughead woke up with a terrible headache and a stuffed nose. He could barley breathe and felt like he was freezing even though he was under a blanket.

Wait a minute.

'How did I get under a blanket?' Jughead wondered

He shrugged, assuming that he had somehow gotten under it in his sleep. He rolled onto his side and quietly groaned at the painful protest his body gave him. His entire body hurt and felt extremely ache-y. His thoughts of internal pain were interrupted abruptly when Archie walked into the room and sat down on the bed next to Jughead. Jughead rolled back onto his back, ignoring the protests his body gave, and pretended to sleep.

"Jughead?" Archie asked

He put his hand on Jughead's wrist but pulled back in shock of how hot it was. He put his hand on Jughead's forehead and Jughead immediately knew that any hopes that he had of keeping Archie from finding out were gone. Archie got up and ran out of his room. Jughead sat up, and sighed, knowing that Archie was going to kill him for not telling his extremely worried boyfriend that he was sick.
