Serendipity - A Bughead Fanfiction

twenty six - the morning after

  ♛jughead♛

"Hey, I'm glad we're doing this." I say, throwing my arm over my best friends shoulder.

He smiles at me, "Me too, Jug. It's been a while since we did something, just the two of us."

I pass him one of the pool sticks while taking another in my hand. 

I start setting up the pool table when he speaks, 

"So, how are things with Betty?" Archie asks.

I can't control the heat that comes to my face, along with a smile. I grin up at him before looking back down to hide my very obvious red cheeks, "Good."

He smirks before coming beside me and squeezing my shoulders aggressively, "Atta boyyyyy. My man got laiiiddddddddd."

I scrunch my face up, and roll my shoulders so his hands come off, "No, Arch, were not talking about this, especially like that." 

He puts his hand up in surrender, "My bad, sorry. I'm happy for you guys bro." I smile up at him, pushing him lightly as I chuckle with a thanks. He puts one hand on my left cheek from behind and the other on my chin, harshly placing a hard, exaggerated kiss on my cheek. "They grow up so fast," he says with a fake cry, picking up my hat and ruffling my hair before dropping it back down. 

I roll my eyes, fixing my hat and hair, "Just take your shot."

I pull into my driveway after bringing my car back from Veronica, where I went after the White Wyrm. Jug had driven me back on the motorcycle for me to pick my car up. My legs still ached a little from last night, having a slight jitter to them, but nothing too intense. I smile to myself when I think about it. How perfect it was. How perfect he was. How perfect he is. 

I hop up my front steps, locking the door behind me and going into my room. No one else was home, but I still decide to lock my room door. I sit on my bed, pulling my diary out of my side table.

'The Perfect Night', I write.

'It finally happened, Betty. Your first time. I know you probably won't ever forget it, but I guess this will help you remember exactly how you felt fresh in the moment if you ever wanna look back at it. Jughead was incredible, but that was kind of a given. He said and did all the right things. I've never felt that good in my life, an overwhelming amount of butterflies throughout the entirety of my body is the best way to put it. I miss it already, is that weird to say? That I craved more when it had barely been a day?' 

I gulp harshly, my throat dry as the feelings of yesterday come back and I crave him again. 

It's been 4 hours since I saw him. Don't be clingy, Betty.

But a little text wouldn't hurt. I grab my phone.

Me:

I need you to fu| No, Betty. 

I erase it.

Me: 

Hey. What're you up to?

The sending sound rings as I put my phone back down and stare at my diary. Maybe I should take a breather and write later.

I put it away and lay on my bed, pulling open my laptop and looking at my YouTube subscriptions for something to watch. 

Ding. My laptop rings, the text preview sliding in on the top right of my laptop screen.

Jughead:

Hi beautiful. Just got done pool with Arch, headed back to the trailer. Wbu?

Me:

Just watching some YouTube. A little bit of an issue going on but it's under control.. kinda.

I wait for a response, biting my lip as my fingers float over the keyboard.

Jughead:

What's up? You okay?

Me: 

No, yea, I'm good. Just.... you know.

C'mon, Betty, do you need someone to spell it out for you? You're h o r n y. 

Jughead:

Unfortunately, love, I do not know. Are you alright?

Me:

Objectively, yes. I'm just going through the feelings, that you feel.. like after.

Jughead:

Betts, I love you, but you're not making any sense right now. You gotta help me out here.

I sigh. I guess I have to say the actual word. Or is that weird? I don't know how this works, will sex be a regular thing now? Or will it be only spontaneously? I should've asked V about all this, but I didn't even tell her about last night. 

Betty:

Like, missing you. In a very special way. Like missing YOU.

I bite at my nails as I wait for the response. Are you a child, Betty? Just tell him you're horny. 

Jughead:

I just laughed. Are you craving a little more of the love machine?

I wince with a giggle.

Me:

Well, yeah, but not if thats what you're referring to yourself as. 🤢

Jughead: 

Hmph. Well I miss you too, wish I could come over there right now but my dad asked me to grab groceries. 

I frown.

Me:

:( No fair. We still on for the movies tomorrow? 

Jughead:

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Me:

Okay cant wait <3 .. Weird question?

Jughead:

Shoot

Me:

Is it normal for me to feel like this rn? Sorry, I just literally don't know if I'm a sex animal now or what.

Jughead:

LMAOOO, no babe you're not. Totally normal. Hell, you're more normal than I am by a long shot because I feel that way every time I see you. 

Me:

Don't tempt me, Jones. Go buy your groceries, maybe we can call later tonight or something?

Jughead: 

Sounds great. Just let me know when you're free.

Me:

Will do. Love you :*)

Jughead:

Love you more.
