The Snake To My Cherries (Choni Fanfic)

Puzzle Pieces

ARCHIE'S POINT OF VIEW:

Jug and I sit in comfortable silence playing a video game I found in the garage. He shares a glance at me when I pause the game for a stretch break. I take a drink of my Red Bull for energy.

"Hey Arch! Toss me one of those!" Jug said, gesturing to my drink. I hand him one from the mini fridge.

"I still don't understand how you beat my high score in your first try!" I say, taking another gulp of my drink.

"Arch, we played this all the time when we were kids. I'm the master!" He chuckled, opening his drink. Just then my dad knocks on the door before entering shortly after.

"Hey, Jug! Your dad called and said he won't be home until early tomorrow." He said, smiling warmly to Jug and raising an eyebrow at us, cuddled up on the bed. "Archie, can I have a word with you?" He asked calmly.

"Sure. Jug stay here, I'll be right back." I said, getting up and pulling back on my shirt. My dad led me downstairs into his workshed as he continued working, but cleared his throat.

"Arch...you know I would support you no matter what, right?" He said, giving me a quick glance.

"Yeah, why?" I said, completely oblivious to what the he was pointed towards.

"You and Jughead seem closer..." He said, stopping what he was doing to look me in the eye. Then it hit me. He was making his point he knew something was up. Yet at the same time, nothing was really going on. We kissed once but we never really did much afterwards. We talked about dating but dropped the subject.

"Dad...it's not what it looks like me and Juggie-" before I could finish, my dad puts up his hand to stop me.

"Are you...gay Archie?" He said, with a concerned face.

"I- yes, dad. I was going to tell you...sorry this is how you found out." I said, dropping my head to the floor.

"Ever since you were a kid...Jug and you were like puzzle pieces. Not complete without each other. Fit perfect together. I support you if you want to be with Jug. Just make sure he doesn't hurt you or I'll have to have a...chat with FP." He said, smirking.

"Thanks dad." I said with a grin. Finally I go back to my room and tell Jughead about me and my dad's conversation.

"So...are we??" He said, playing with his fingers.

"Yeah...I guess so!" I say, pulling him into an embrace and kissing him on top of his hat.
