I Want To Be With You // Jughead x Reader (requested)

Lovely request from @jugshat ~ I hope this is okay and that you enjoy it ❤️

Jughead, Betty and Veronica were in the emergency room along side their close friend Archie Andrews. They were waiting for Fred Andrews to wake up after the recent shooting at Pops. After many long hours Fred's eyes opened once again. And Archie could finally talk to his dad. Filled with relief the redhead through it would be best to leave his dad so he could get some proper rest to help his recovery.

"How is he?" Jughead asked as Arch approached them.
"He's awake" he smiled.
The gang let out a sigh of relief before having a group hug.
Jug spoke again "can we get some food now?" Veronica smacked his shoulder and rolled her eyes. They all decided to head to the canteen for a meal. But on their way they bumped into someone.
A girl. Jughead looked up to face who he just walked into. Their eyes met. He swallowed deeply. She was wearing nasal cannula. She had cystic fibrosis but she was beautiful.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going" he told the girl feeling guilty.
"He had food on the brain" Archie added, causing the girl to giggle. "It's okay, I won't stop you, go get your food" she told him.
Jug laughed lightly, "what's your name?" He asked.
"Y/n y/l/n" she replied with a smile. "And who may you pretty faces be?"
"I'm Archie, this is Veronica, Betty and Jughead" arch introduced.
"Jughead?" She asked confused.
"My real name is worse" he joked.
"I'm guessing you stay here?" Betty asked. "I don't mean it as in-" she began.
"No no, it's fine and yes I stay here in this place" y/n replied.
The four carried on the conversation further with the girl they just met. They were all so caring and interested, it was nice for her to meet new people.

Fred Andrews left the hospital and returned home. However, the four friends still went to the hospital, to visit their new friend y/n. They all seemed to get on so well.
"Hey!" Veronica exclaimed as they walked into y/n's room. "Hey guys" she replied.
Days passed and each day they visited.
Y/n got close to them especially with Jughead.

The girl had to take her medicine with the help of a nebuliser which she explained to Jughead after he asked her some questions. Intrigued by the y/h/c haired girl. And listened carefully to every word she said.
He placed his hand on hers and reassured her everything will be fine and eased any of her worries. For her, he was her remedy.
Jughead and y/n faced many tough times, always pulling through.
"Thank you Jughead" she said honestly tears welled up in her eyes.
He smiled his heart breaking for the girl in front of him.
"What for?" He asked.
"For being there, you've been amazing, you all have and I'm so grateful, for everything you have done."
"I'm honoured to be here with you, and I'll always be with you. Anything you need we'll be there" he told her.

"I need to tell you something, I know it's not going to be an easy road, but I love you y/n and I want to be with you" Jughead breathed.
Y/n was so happy at his words and knew he was right, it wouldn't be easy but it's worth a try. "I love you too Jug, and I want to be with you" she smiled widely.
They shared a brief hug before he left her to get some sleep. That night was the best night sleep she ever had.
