Elevator

Fluff ahead . ;)

“Your turn.” Jughead says as he munches on the mints that were in her bag.

Betty had been stuck in the stuffy elevator with her colleague at her work for about an hour, and the two had resorted to playing twenty questions to pass the time as it was Saturday and they had to wait for help which was taking it’s sweet ass time.. They were both interns at the firm, and Betty’s always secretly had a bit of a crush on Jughead. Though she maintains a professional stance, and even at that she doesn’t even think he likes her that way.  

“Why do you wear the hat?” Betty asks as she grabs another mint.  “Not that it doesn’t look good.” Betty adds with a blush.

“I don’t know. it just makes me feel safe I guess.” Jughead says. Betty nods sympathetically. In high school she wore her hair in a ponytail everyday for the same reason. “My turn. Are you seeing anyone?” Jughead asks looking slightly nervous. Betty is shocked by the question as it’s not what she was expecting him to ask at all even though the questions had been gradually getting deeper.

“No.” Betty says trying not to look hopeful. Jughead looks  “Are you?” Betty counters.

“No.” Jughead says as he takes a gulp. He pauses for a moment, and he looks as if he’s gathering the courage for something.

“Your turn.” Betty says quietly as she intently watches as he moves closer to her.

Day 2 / Prompt 3- Hypnotize

[this is more than 100 words]

The air was hot, but that came as no surprise to Jughead.  It was the middle of summer, and a certain Betty Cooper had dragged him to the summer carnival.  For anyone else, he’d give a stern no and never think about it again.

But he couldn’t say no to Betty.  She was his weakness, and she was completely unaware of just how much he’d do if she asked.

So, dressed in black jeans and his grey S t-shirt, he wandered the fair side by side with the girl he’d been in love with since he was seven years old.  She was dressed to the occasion, sporting a yellow summer dress with sandals and her hair tied into her signature ponytail, and if he got to see this all day long, was the carnival really as bad as he thought?

“Juggie!”  Betty tugged on his arm and pointed in the direction of a stage where a line of people were being escorted down, all looking like they’d just woken up.  “It’s a hypnotist, we have to do it!”

Jughead laughed mockingly at her statement.  “You know that’s not real, right?”

“Please, Juggie!”  Betty looked up at him through thick eyelashes, and he felt his heart beat three times faster.

He opened his mouth to speak, but two girls who had to be at least a few years older strode by and he caught the tail end of their conversation.

“I don’t even know, girl.  I know you have a picture and all, but how did I not know I was kissing a random guy?!”

“Because you were hypnotized!”

“Ugh, let’s go get a corn dog.”

Not What It Looks Like

“It’s really not what it looks like.” Jughead says as he throws on his discarded shirt.

“It looks like my two best friends from childhood were having a very private moment, and judging my lack of observant skills this has been going on for a while.” Archie says as he gets a bottle of water from their fridge. Jughead, and Archie shared an apartment as they attended the same college where as Betty attended a college in the area, but was dorming at the school as her schedule was much more complicated . Although, she did spend a lot of time at their apartment.

“I’m sorry, Arch. We were going to tell you soon.”Jughead isn’t really sorry for the fact that he is with Betty as he should have gotten with her a lot earlier than college, and confessing his feelings was the best decision he made. He’s more sorry they didn’t tell Archie sooner. “We just didn’t want you to feel weird or left out.”

“Jug, it’s okay. I’m happy for you two.” Archie says with a wide smile as he nudges Jughead. “Just maybe put a sock on the door next time.” Archie says grimacing.

Group Chat

At first, the group chat filled with Betty’s co-workers was beneficial as they were able to ask any questions they may have had, and any other matters that may need to be addressed.

 It was also beneficial that they all got along quite well. Though she did get along with one of them very well, maybe too well. That one is specific is Jughead Jones, and they have been involved for almost a year, but it took them way longer to confess their feelings for one another. It wasn’t that they weren’t allowed to date in the workroom, they just didn’t want to tell anyone for the risk of maintaining professionalism. 

Unfortunately, professionalism went out the window when Betty mistakenly sent the message meant for Jughead to the group chat.

Betty: Hey Juggie. I’m excited for our date tonight. ;)

Betty: I didn’t mean to send that.

Kevin: I knew it.
