Gang Rivalry

Betty's P.O.V

We were cuddling on the couch after a full day of watching movies when I looked over to the clock on the wall and saw the time.

*Betty, Jughead*

"Oh my God Juggie it's already 4:30!" He looked at me quite shocked and then started getting off the couch.

"Shit, I need to go."

"Can't you stay a little longer?" I looked at him with a sad face, and he returned it with a goofy grin. He started getting back on the couch and I snuggled myself into his chest with a smile on my face.

"I guess I can stay a little longer." He whispered to me as he kissed the top of my head. We stayed like that and just watched the rest of the movie until he had to leave. He got up off the couch and started walking towards the door.

"Wait, Juggie! Shouldn't you change just so you look like your scary, Ghoulie-King self?" I questioned, hiding what I really wanted.

"You just want my clothes, don't you?" He looked at me with a smug look, making me look down and blush.

"Maybe." I whispered to myself.

"You're lucky I love you Betts, I'll be back down in a few minutes and I'll leave my clothes on your bed."

"Yay! Thank you! I love you!"

"Love you too!" He shouted to me as he walked up the stairs and into my room. A few minutes later he walked back down the stairs and pulled me into his arms. He kissed me passionately before we pulled away.

"I love you."

"I love you too. I'll see you at school on Monday." He told me as he opened the front door to leave.

"See you then." I shot him a smile, and as soon as he closed the door I walked up to my room to do my homework due Monday.

Jughead's P.O.V

The ride back home from Betty's house was quick, even though I knew what was coming. As soon as I step in the door my parents are going to bombard me with questions about who she is. I was ready to tell my parents about her, but worried about how they will react to her being the Serpent Princess. And I was right, as soon as I walked in I saw my parents in the kitchen, ready to ask me a heap of questions.

*FP, Gladys, Jughead*

"So, Jughead," My mom started and motioned for my dad to continue.

"Are we ever gonna meet this girl?" I was worried now, unknown as to how the react as to what I was going to tell them next.

"Depends on how you would feel about me dating someone from the Serpents." My parents looked shocked but soon their faces soon shifted to happiness, causing me to let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"We always support you, and we think dating someone from the Serpents is great!" My mom was beaming with happiness by this point, making me extremely happy.

"So which Serpent is she son?"

"I don't think you actually know her considering no-one is supposed to know she exists," I paused, causing my parents to give me puzzled faces. "But she's Betty Cooper."

"Cooper? As in Hal and Alice?" My mom asked worried.

"That's the one."

"Well, she may be in line to lead a completely different gang, but we still support you son. Right Gladys?" My mom's face shifted into a broad smile which made me happy.

"Of course honey!"

"Thank you guys. It means a lot to me." I smiled at my parents.

"We'll always support you honey." My mom smiled at me.

"Well I'm gonna head up to my room to do my homework. Bye." I said to my parents as I turned and started leaving the room.

"Love you!" I heard my mom shout at me.

"Love you too!" I shouted back to both of them and kept walking up to my room. Before turning into my room I noticed Jellybean's door was open and I could see her sitting at her desk doing her homework. I smiled to myself and quickly put my stuff in my room before walking to her room. Once I got to her doorway I hugged her from behind, making her jump a bit.

*Jellybean, Jughead*

"Hey Jelly." I gave her a big smile as I kissed the top of her head.

"You're smiley! Did you tell mom and dad about Betty?" Jellybean smiled up at me with a glint of excitement in her eyes.

"Yes I did, and they fully support our relationship, so I won't have to sneak her over here." I told her, and her face lit up even more.

"So I can see her more often?" She asked me excitedly, and in return I nodded my head. "Yay!" She screamed and hugged me.

"I have to do homework, but I'll see you in a bit." She nodded her head at me and returned to her homework as I walked out the door. "Love you!" I shouted to her from my room.

"Love you too!" She shouted back at me from her room. I smiled to myself and started doing my homework, my smile staying on my face as I thought of Betty.
