The southside boy

26

~Jughead's POV~

His eyes opened.

"Arch!" I said sitting up

"Juggy, I'm sorry..I didn't want you to fall through so I pushed you away.." Archie said grabbing my hand

"Hey..don't say sorry..it's not your fault, the best thing is that your alive, and that we're never going skating again." I said smiling

He chuckled.

"Archie! We're glad your awake. Your doctors and I are able to send you home, only if you follow the rules of correct body heat and warm meals, and I need a follow up on how your doing on Friday" the doctor said shaking Archie's hand

^5:30 pm, at the house^

"Alright Archie, I got you some nice warm soup, with some nice tea" Mrs. Andrews said laying the food in front of Archie

"Eat up!" She said leaving, closing the door.

"How long am I having to eat soup for.." Archie said leaning his head back

"Until your not as cold as a ice cube" I said sitting on the end of the bed

"It has no flavor, and it is just...ew."

"Well you need to eat it, it will help you stay warm."

"If you don't eat it I'll make you watch every single Shawn Mendes interview on earth." I said smiling

"Fine, I'll eat it." He said as he ate it

"Archie! I went to the store, and got you some warm blankets with a heating remote, I got some heating pads, and I got more SOUP!" Mrs. Andrews said laying all the things on the bed

"Oh, and when your ready I need you both downstairs to set up the tree!" She said as she left the room

"It's our first Christmas together" Archie said running my arm

"It's going to be the best one I've ever had" I said smiling

"TREE, LETS GO BOYS." Mrs. Andrews shouted from downstairs

"Didn't she say when we were ready?" I asked

"More like when she is.." Archie said as we got up and walked downstairs

"Alright, I'll get the decorations while you set the tree up, and then we can decorate!" She said as she went to the garage

"This tree is bigger then your-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence." Archie said cutting me off

We started setting the tree up, and fluffing it, as Mrs. Andrews came in with boxes of ornaments, and decorations.

We put the decorations on the tree, and around the house while Mrs. Andrews turned on Christmas music.

"Alright, Jug. You put the star on" Archie said handing me the star

"What? Why me?" I asked

"Because it's your first Christmas with us and you should put the star on" Mrs. Andrews said

I smiled as I got on the ladder, and put the star on the top of the tree.

"It's perfect" Mrs. Andrews said taking a picture

"NOW. Out of here, I have to wrap gifts, and I will take care of wrapping your gifts from eachother as well. Get some rest. Tomorrow we will make gingerbread houses to celebrate Christmas Eve!" She said getting wrapping paper out.

We went back into Archie's room, and layed down in bed as we turned on 'Home Alone', I wrapped me arms around Archie, as he dug his head into my arm. 

"Juggy" Archie said looking up at me

"Yes?" I said looking down at him

"I love you" he said softly squeezing me

"I love you too, is something wrong" I said running fingers through his hair

"I feel like I never say it enough" 

"You don't need to say it for me to know" I said chuckling

"Are you sure..because I'll tell you everyday if you want"

"I'm positive, but you should some rest." I said pulling the covers over us
