It was weird, like sci-fi kind of freaky, but he was doing his best to not say something terribly unhelpful. “It could be one of those PTSD things. The brain selectively forgets things that are too much to handle… Or however science works.”

      lips quirk up,  endearingly at most;  he’s trying to make her feel better,  and betty  MORE  than appreciates that.    ‘  you’re right,  it could be.  science does help make sense of everything.  ’    she thinks to her meds that her mom gives her each morning,  if she’s on meds  ...  then why is she still like this  ??    a sigh from her lips.    ‘  it’s all just  ...  very frustrating.  ’

              ‘  no offense  ...  but why haven’t we had a sleepover yet  ??  ’     //  @blvejasmine.

              ‘  it’s just  ...  WEIRD,  juggie.  veronica will say thing that happened and i just  ...  blank.  i can’t remember half of the stuff i did.  ’    //  @joneshead.

          jughead is not immune to the FACTS in front of him – but she couldn’t get caught. the male goes silent for a moment, he doesn’t believe there’s much he can say to appease the nervous blonde, but even if there was something to say the words wouldn’t form. he’s as nervous as her. ❛ we shouldn’t panic. they have nothing on you, betty. ❜ he tries to swallow the lump in his throat ❛ hiding it will only make it worse for us if the police eventually finds it. think with me, if we leave this as it is, go to the sheriff and tell him about what we found, they’ll never suspect us – we are two teenagers looking for justice, remember? ❜

          he can feel himself slightly blushing upon feeling her eyes wandering his face – jughead is not used to this, not YET. he doesn’t mean to end the moment though. instead, his gaze is averted somewhere else for a second. THIS DOESN’T LAST LONG, her officially dating call makes him look back at her instantly. he should be the one doing this, but consumed by the uncertainty he allowed this moment to happen the opposite way he wanted it to.   ❛  so i get to call BETTY COOPER my girlfriend ??  ❜  he smiles widely, obviously teasing her.  ❛  we can be officially dating, yes! i meant to ask this sooner but – ❜

   ‘  welcome to new orleans,  my love.  for your sake let’s hope you did some of the  leg work  for research.   i’m not one for inducing  introductions of the supernatural.  go on,  have at it,  put two & two together.  hazard yourself a guess as to what species i may be? ’ 

          ❛    oh my god  ...    ❜    she stands by him,  light of the flashlight highlighting the curves of her face.    every night they go out,  the more they find on  ...  her.    blue eyes flash up to him,  gazing through long eyelashes as the gun at her fingertips    (    so  FAMILIAR,  yet so unfamiliar    ),  betty cooper swallowing.    sometimes she wonders,  when every single piece of evidence they find,  if he’ll ditch her   (   but then he does things that helps her,   and she surely hope he won’t   ).   ❛   ---  we  HAVE  to hide it.  ❜  //  @thirdjcnes for  THAT ONE THREAD WE PLOTTED ;)

‘   don’t worry, love, it’s only a little blood.  ’  // @gentlescul​

       ❝or i can and then they’ll write you up a TICKET. ❞ she laughs as she eyes her best friend. her free hand touches her chest as if she were WARMED by betty’s compliment ( she is ). vanity is her sin & her confidence gushes up all the ATTENTION she can get. ❝ first off, i don’t have a metabolism like jughead’s. SECOND, i would have to work twice as hard. i’m keeping  this figure and maybe i can have SMITHERS cook for me instead.❞ veronica’s never lifted a finger when it comes to meals in the kitchen. ❝maybe you have a POINT. i’ll just stick to onion rings.❞

     she should have guessed that betty would have reacted that way. “its fine, really. my mother and i have a perfectly choreographed routine that we do. i’m just prepared for my move.” she was going to act out. “feel like coming clubbing with me?”

       ❛  —  you don’t need to worry about me,  how many times do i have to tell you. I’LL BE FINE. plus , we need to be separated at times okay i’ll be fine. ❜

       ❛  —  learning  and  learning  more  about  your  sweet  archiebald  is  actually  starting to  annoy  me.  the  ginger  has  lots  of  surprises.  ❜   hurt  expression  hidden  by  a  humour  facade  as  she  jokes  about  the  andrews  as  she  sips  from  her  milkshake.     ❛  thanks  B, and  no  mom  didn’t  get to  take a  video,  long  story  about  that  too. ––– but  in  short,  it  wasn’t  much ,  i mean  i  was  there  as  a  backup  filler  for  valerie  who  now  looks  like  she’s back  with  the  pussycats.  i  still don’t  know  if  they’re  keeping  me  but  i  got  to  perform  either  way.  ❜

      Reacting to the kiss —— he thinks, DISTRACTS him. and jughead’s been looking for more of that lately. Instead of pressing him more — and he thanks her for that — she’s there to provide comfort, as short lived as it may be. he kisses her back, placing arms around her when she curls up against him. However, when she utters his full name, he covers her mouth with his free hand, mocking to look over his shoulder to halt her speech. “ Listen…shhh.. should I regret telling you..even though you basically had a gun to my head about the whole thing because.. “ he pauses, pulling his best expression of disbelief. “ Is it my fault your mom’s food was the best thing I’ve ever eaten ? No. Case closed. Jones 1, Cooper 0. “ 

“If you could go anywhere,” he starts, looking out over the field as he leads the pair closer to the flowers. He adjusts his fingers between hers, his steps slow and easy, taking his time with the luxury of the afternoon that they have. It’s nice to be away from it all, to feel a sense of normalcy. Whatever normalcy really is anymore – Jughead hadn’t known it, well, ever. But he feels it, or pieces of it, when he’s with Betty. Even with the craziness of Jason Blossom’s case, her parents and her sister, all the messed up drama that’s come their way in the past few weeks. It’s still her that makes him feel most normal. “Anywhere in the whole world. Where would you go?”

        betty hums as he asks the question,  she trying to keep herself from  COMBUSTING  with happiness.  this is the happiest that she’s been in awhile,  the blonde thinks,  casting a quick glance at jughead.  he’s  BEAUTIFUL  she realizes,  and there’s such a contrast  --  between him and their surroundings,  no one would think he’s the kind of person to look for fields of flowers  (  except her,  for she knows he enjoys beauty,  just as much as she does  ).  he’s become her safety,  in a way.  whenever her mind is clouded,  when things seem to become too much,  when something’s  OFF  --  one touch from him,  she can settle down.  ❛  ---  somewhere where i can clearly see the northern lights,  like norway.  oooh  ...  or japan  !!  i’d love to be there when the  CHERRY BLOSSOM  petals blow off the tree,  ❜  betty says with a squeeze of his hand,  looking up at him.  ❛  where would  YOU  go  ??  ❜
