Riverdale One Shots and Preferences

Terrified//V.L

She had completely stopped your world. It was like she took over, like it was her world now and you were just living in it. You couldn't help but to catch feelings for her. Something about her was just so irresistible, so tempting to you. You hadn't felt like this in a long time. The last time you had, well, it didn't end very well. Your heart got broken time after time, and the thought of letting anyone back in like that scared you. But Veronica, Ronnie as you so fondly called her, had made you second guess everything. You thought about falling in love again. You were just so scared of it. 

You and Veronica were laying in her bed, talking about everything that came to mind, falling into occasional fits of laughter. Your heart almost felt like it would burst from the way you were feeling.

"Ronnie?" You said.

"Yes, Y/N?" She replied, turning onto her side to face you.

"I think I'm falling in love with you, and I'm terrified." You admitted.

"Well I liked the way that was sounding at first, but that's not exactly how I wanted to find out you were falling in love with me." She looked at you, concerned. 

"The last time I fell in love with someone, it was really bad. I stayed in a situation I should not have stayed in for a long time, just because I was in love. And I promised myself that I would never let anyone in like that again, but you came in and you wrecked all of my plans and tore down all of my walls. And in my heart I know you would never treat me the way I was treated before. But my head still doesn't believe that this could possibly be true. That you could care about me, could love me." You told her, tears lightly rolling down your cheeks.

Veronica reached up and wiped the tears from your face, and then pulled you into a tight hug.

"Y/N, I'm so sorry for what you went through in the past. But, I promise I would never, and could never, treat you badly. I love you, and I want to make you happy for as long as you'll let me." She whispered, stroking your hair.

You held onto her tightly, your heart pounding because she said 'I love you'.

"Thank you Ronnie." You mumbled against her chest. 

She slowly sank down into her bed so both of you were laying down, her arms wrapped around you and your head on her chest. You fell asleep in that position, feeling safe and loved for the first time in a while.
