Sweet Pea x Reader (Male!)
Prompt: So I saw this post not long ago which inspired me, so here I introduce my second fanfic –Behind closed doors.
What inspired me: ‘sweet pea is nothing but an awkward teenage boy that fumbles and falls head over heels for a pretty person that offers him affection. he’s flustered and foolish. ya’ll better start writing your fanfics to fit what we’ve been shown, bc there’s NOTHING more endearing than an inexperienced fool trying to woo you with his limited knowledge.’ ‘give me a fumbling teenage boy that blushes when someone holds his hand, give me sweet pea figuring it all out and getting frustrated when it gets hard.’ ‘give me soft sweet pea because there is no way in hell! he has it all figured out.’ credits to @sweetpeasbabydoll for the post that inspired me. I hope you don’t mind.
For a while now you’ve known how you feel about a certain serpent, but no matter what anyone said to you or how confident you felt when he smiled at you, you would never be able to tell him, in fear he might reject you. To everyone else, sweet pea is tough and intimidating but with you, he seemed to almost show a different side, although he never let it shine long enough for you to be absolutely sure, so you kept quiet.
It wasn’t the fact that you were also a male that kept you from telling him, but also the fact that you two were close friends and in the serpents together, you also had a lot of the same friends and you didn’t want to make it weird and awkward for everyone else. Tonight, a party was being held at the Whyte Wyrm, and you’d been invited by Toni and Fangs to come at around nine pm, but it was now almost midnight and you were only just walking up to the parking lot. You’d had a few drinks at home before you left, in hopes it would raise your confidence and it did.
You were greeted loudly by Toni and Cheryl who both walked up to you with a drunken smile on their faces. “I didn’t think you were coming!” Toni slurred as she slung her arm around your mid back. You copied her actions around her shoulders and chuckled. “Neither did I” you then replied. Cheryl beamed up at you, her red lip stick slightly smudged from making out with Toni half the night. You were about to say something else when you spotted Jughead, Betty and Kevin across the lot and you almost couldn’t believe your eyes. They spotted you at around the same time and soon you were all in a big circle with Kevin’s arms wrapped drunkenly around you. “(Y/N)!” he beamed. You leaned your chin on his shoulder and at the same time your eyes locked with Sweet Pea’s from across the parking lot, making your heart skip a beat.
(gif) he was sitting on his motor bike with his elbow leaning against the handle and his gaze was set fully on you. Other serpents surrounded him, laughing and chatting away but he didn’t take any notice of it, his eyes were fixed and he looked upset. Why? you didn’t know but as you pulled away from Kevin the view of Sweet Pea was blocked but his gaze was still fresh in your mind. “Let’s go inside and have another drink!” shouted Kevin, causing the rest of the group to whoop in agreement. Jug, Betty, Toni, Cheryl and Kevin began to make their way inside but you stayed put, your feet then taking you over to where Sweet Pea sat.
“Hey” you smiled small, not sure what his reaction would be. Pea raised his eyebrows at you then folded his arms across his chest. “Hi” was all he said and the tension in the air was beginning to rise. You had no idea why, but he almost seemed angry with you. Pea’s dark eyes looked you up and down slyly but you noticed and it made you slightly blush. “Aren’t you gonna go inside with Kevin?” he asked. “Oh yeah soo-” you stopped mid sentence, realizing Pea had only said Kevin’s name and said it with a hint of venom in his voice. Instead of finishing your sentence, you side eyed Sweet Pea curiously. He avoided your gaze and kicked his heel against the pavement.
Was he jealous? no way, don’t be stupid (Y/N). “Well? go on then.” Pea muttered. You couldn’t believe the way he was acting, he was always so nice and open with you, but it felt like he was hiding something. “Why do you want me to go so bad?” you asked, you now also folding your arms across your chest. “Well clearly that Kevin guy has a thing for you so what the hell are you waiting for?” Pea replied, his voice slightly raising towards the end of his sentence and you stood there completely shell shocked. It seemed like he was jealous! but you wanted to know for sure. “Maybe he does, jealous?” you retorted. Sweet Pea scoffed and rolled his eyes, but the whole time he still hadn’t looked at you and he didn’t deny it either.
“Just piss off (Y/L/N). I’m not in the mood” Sweet Pea then got up from where he was sitting on his bike, swung his leg over the leather seat and started up his bike. You looked at him in disbelief, not only had he used your surname but also told you to piss off, something Pea had never said to you before. Instead of firing back, you decided to drop it. Your feelings were already hurt and you didn’t want to risk them getting hurt some more. “Jerk” was the last thing you said to him before you turned around and made your way into the Whyte Wyrm without another glance back at him. You didn’t see it, but Sweet Pea watched you walk away from him with a look of longing in his eyes before he took off angrily down the road towards a mystery destination.
It was now three o’clock in the morning and you lay in your bed in your dark bedroom with your head spinning. Not only had you got atrociously drunk, but your mind was on Sweet Pea for the rest of the night and the thought of him being jealous of Kevin. It excited you to the point where your stomach wouldn’t stop flipping, but it also angered you the way that he treated you. You rolled over on top of your sheets, only wearing a pair of thin cotton boxers as you tried your best to get to sleep, but it was short lived as your phone vibrated under your pillow.
You took it out with a small groan and squinted your eyes at the bright screen. A text from Sweet Pea made your heart do another flip and you unlocked your phone to see what he had said.
Was all you said, as you felt he didn’t deserve anything more than one worded answers right now. Your phone vibrated seconds later.
At his next text, you shot up out of bed and over to your window where you peered through the window pane. Down below Sweet Pea was standing on your front lawn with a small smirk on his face. “What the hell,” you whispered to yourself as you quietly unlatched your window and slid it all the way up. Sweet Pea then began to climb up the tree near your window and before you knew it he was sitting on your window sill with gleam in his eye. “Sweets, what are you doing here?” you whisper shouted, taking a step back so he could come inside. He slid the window closed behind him and turned around to face you.
“Well I wanted to… see you after… like I thought what I said was… you know?” Pea stumbled over his words then rubbed at the back of his neck nervously. You couldn’t help but notice his leather jacket and dark plaid shirt ride up to reveal his nicely defined v lines, but you quickly snapped yourself out of it. Not only were you confused about Sweet Pea being here at three in the morning to apologize, but he was stumbling over his words and you’d never seen him do that before.
“Okay…” was all you could think to say. Sweet Pea looked at you with a nervous look in his eyes, then you noticed him rake your body up and down with eyes and you soon came to realize you were standing in front of him, basically naked if it wasn’t for your navy blue boxers. “Oh,” you blurted out, you then reached for the nearest pillow and lay it over your junk, hoping he hadn’t noticed, but he did. Sweet Pea smirked, some of his confidence returning. “Nice jammies” he teased, causing you to roll your eyes. “Shut up” you replied before you sat down against the edge of your bed. He followed your actions cautiously and the sound of his leather jacket struggling against his toned biceps made you want to dribble.
You leaned your elbows against the pillow that was now resting on your knees and sighed. “Sweets… I appreciate you coming to say sorry… if that’s what you wanna call it. But I have to ask, were you really jealous?” You turned to look at him as you asked your question and his jaw clenched in nervousness. “Uh, well I…” he began to fumble over his words and you thought it was actually really sexy. “No not really… sort of… um, I think that you would not like it if I was?” Pea finished as he looked over you, swallowing a lump in his throat.
As much as you didn’t want to, you couldn’t help but laugh a little at his terrible grammar. Pea looked down at your hands then back up at your face, his own little smile breaking out across his handsome face. He then sighed in frustration and rubbed at his forehead. “It’s not funny (Y/N)” he said through gritted teeth and you could tell he was frustrated with himself. The more he stumbled and became frustrated, the more you began to swoon. “I know, you’re just being really… cute” Your heart flipped as you admitted what you were thinking, and it seemed that Pea’s did as well.
He turned to look at you fully this time and his bottom lip was caught sexily between his teeth. You were about to say something to recover from what you just said, but before you could get the words out Sweet Pea pressed his lips firmly against yours, and you died a little inside from bliss. You wasted no time in kissing back and before you knew it, Pea had you pressed down against the mattress of your bed, the coolness of his leather jacket raising goosebumps all over your skin.
Your tongues slid against each others, causing Pea to whisper moan against your lips, making your hormones run wild. Your hands dragged up the back of his neck and into his thick dark hair, you pulled at the roots roughly, wanting to feel more of him if it was even possible. “Fuck sweets” you drawled out against his lips, making him yearn for you even more. He pulled away from your lips slowly and stared into your eyes. “I was jealous before, but now I couldn’t care less” he whispered, making your heart flutter in your chest. Pea smiled shyly down at you and you reached around and pinched his cheek.
“I’m sorry for telling you to piss off, all these… feelings make me-” you shushed him sweetly, causing his shy smile to intensify. You’d never knew Pea could be so shy and cute at the same time, but you loved it. “Feelings?” you inquired and he nodded, his eyes moving down to your lips. “Yeah, I’ve liked you for… a while now (Y/N)” and that was all you needed to hear. You placed your hands on either side of his face and made him look at you. “Me too sweets” you replied, and instead of him kissing you, he lay his head in the crook of your neck and rubbed his face against your skin.
You could tell he was just as flustered as you were, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. You laced your fingers through his hair and closed your eyes in heavenly bliss, hoping this would never end.
A/N: I love this one personally and I hope all of you do too. Feed back and requests are appreciated and I’m thinking about doing a part two?
