"i know i'm a handful, but you got two hands." - ?

I'm currently at Pop's to place an order for takeout, and it's been at least 20 minutes since I placed the order.

As I sit on a barstool, playing Mario Kart about to win a race, my phone starts buzzing and Betty's name pops up on the screen (Betts💙).

I sigh, because I was just about to win, and answer the phone.

(a/n: betty is this, jug is this)

"Hey babe."

"Hey Jug. Are you getting dinner?"

"Uh, yeah. It should be out soon. Why?"

"I have a problem."

Oh shit.

"What is it? I'm all ears."

"Promise you won't freak out and bail?"

"Hm, depends on the circumstances."

She giggles when I say that. That damn giggle gets me everytime.

"I need you to go pick something up for me..."

"Sure, what is it?"

Why does she sound nervous?

"Can you go get me some tampons from the store just beside Pop's?"

Shit. I'm gonna look like an idiot in that store.

"U-uh of course I will. What kind?"

"Any kind will be just fine. You are the sweetest fiancé ever."

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you." I say with a small smirk.

"You're so cheesy. I'll see you at the trailer."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

I hang up just as Pop hands me the bag of food.

"What's wrong, Jug? You look- out of place." Pop says to me confused.

"I'm just, headed to the store to uh- get something for Betty."

He smiles and shakes his head.

"Safe travels, Jug."

I smile weakily and nod then leave with the food.

I soon walk into the store and look around. No one here, perfect.

It takes me a minute to find the right aisle.

I look up at the sign reading "Feminine Hygiene" and shiver a bit and quickly walking the aisle before anyone notices.

I see the tampons. Not just one kind, but thousands.

"Heavy flow?" I say quietly to myself.

I immediately look away and see one that reads, "Normal flow" and I'm still confused.

"Need some help, Jones?"

I almost jump, and I turn to see Miss Veronica Lodge.

"Veronica? What are you doing here?" I say quickly, as I feel a drop of sweat drip down my forehead.

"I think I should be asking you that question." She says with a small laugh and shaking her head.

"Well, Betty needed some- some tampons. And I have no idea what to get and I have no idea what any of this means."

"Well," she says with a laugh and walks towards me, "if it's Betty we're talking about, she'll need these."
she picks up a box of "Regular Flow" tampons and hands it to me

"These will work just fine, Jones." she says and smiles.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Betty is my bestie. I know what kind she gets. See you later, Jones." she says and grabs a box of tampons and walks away.

I sigh, then quickly go to checkout and head home.

I open the door and walk in, setting the food, drinks, and Betty's, "lady things" on the table.

She walks in with a smile and pulls her hair up into a messy bun.

"Hey, baby." she says with a smile then quickly kiss my cheek.

I smile a bit and nod and sit at the table, about to eat when she says, "Did you make it?"

I look up with the burger in my hand.

"What do you m-mean?"

"Did you make it out of the store alive?" she asks with a small laugh.

I sigh.

"Veronica helped me..."

She smiles bigger and places her hands on my shoulders.

"I knew you could do it." she whispers sweetly then kiss the top of my head.

"Just, please don't have me do that ever again, please." I say looking back up at her.

She raises her eyebrow sarcastically and I take no time in saying, "I will definitely do whatever it takes to make you happy."

She smirks and grabs the bag.

"By the way," she whispers, "I told you to buy the wrong thing." she smirks seductively then walks towards our bedroom.

My eyes go big, and I immediately know what she means.
