Fangs was already running late for school but with the burning in his chest, He could care less. Throwing on the nearest pair of black jeans, He looked for his slightly oversized yellow jumper. It would help cover up any marks that were visible.

He looked a lot softer than usual. The yellow contrasting the usual black and grey he would always wear. Brushing his hair back like he always did, Fangs grabbed his bag and ran out of the house sprinting to make it in time for second period. The cold January air bit as any exposed skin as he ran.

His breathing was heavy but he had made it in time. Normally he would have this class with Jughead but since he― What the hell? Jughead was there sitting in his desk waiting for the bell to ring. A Serpent jacket on his back.

"Jug?"

Jughead looked up at him, "Hi Fogarty" He replied with a smile and small wave "You seem surprised to see me, Didn't you hear Southside High closed down?" "I- I uh forgot? Last night was— hectic." He replied awkwardly.

Jughead raised an eyebrow but didn't question him. "So tell me, What did I miss?" Fangs shrugged "Nothing much I suppose. Cheryl wanted me to be her lap dog yesterday."

They looked at each other before going into a fit of giggles. Jughead wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. "Tell me you said no" Full blown grin spread on his face.

Fangs tugged his sleeves up so they reached halfway up his palms. "Of course I did Jones, Would you expect anything less from me?" "Pfft of course not Fogarty"

The bell rang and the class began. The two shared glances at each other, Fangs studying Jughead's new Serpent jacket and his old jacket wrapped around his waist.

Jughead noticing he was wearing a yellow jumper instead of his usual jacket. Maybe it was dirty and he hadn't had time to wash it. He knew better than to ask questions. He was just thankful Fangs hadn't said anything about how much of a hypocrite he was being.

The class went on with no interruptions. That was until they had to make their way into the hallway.

"HEY! Is that my two favorite faggots!" Reggie's voice could be heard from across the hall

Fangs started to speed up the pace, Jughead following behind him. With his head down Fangs didn't see the much taller guy in front of him. He walked right into him.

"Oh uh sorry." He said before walking away. Jughead gave the older male a nod "Hey Sweet Pea— BYE FOGARTY!" He yelled seeing that Fangs was leaving.

Sweet Pea looked down at the shorter brunette "Hey yourself Jones, Who was that guy" "Oh that's just Fangs, he's a friend of mine"

Reggie had made his way across the now empty hall putting his arm around Jughead. "So, this your new boyfriend Jones?" He said gesturing to Sweet Pea. "Seem's you're really into Southside scum, I mean Fogarty and now this Serpent."

Sweet Pea was fuming. It took alot to keep his temper in check but this was a way better school then Southside high. Normally he would have had this jock on the ground taking a beating. Instead, he just stood their glaring dagger at the guy while Jughead verbally knocked him down a peg. No need to get suspended over some dumbass.

"Listen, Mantle, I have a fucking girlfriend. Fangs is my best friend and Sweet Pea isn't even gay. So get your arm off me before I cut it off" He shrugged Reggie's arm off his shoulder.
