fangs was tough — he was. he had been through a lot ( maybe not as much as others he knew, but definitely more than some ; comparisons aside, he had grown from the misfortunes life had dealt ). the struggles in his life had led to some nasty side affects, particularly nightmares. it was a nearly weekly thing; the serpent would wake up in sweats and tears, a nightmare so strong it would affect him for the rest of the day. dreams of those close to him dying were so achingly realistic that he often found himself struggling to understand if it was a memory or a night terror & this night was one of those nights —- and this time, it was about sweet pea ( his best friend, his other half ! ). it started off with them at pea’s trailer, and ended somewhere in the middle of a nasty fight with ghoulies which resulted in sweet pea’s death. with tears hot on his face and his heart beating as if he’d just ran a marathon, he picks up his phone ( the boy’s hands sweating so bad he has to wipe them on the sheet to simply unlock the damn thing ! ) he was pressing pea’s contact name so quickly that he couldn’t even think, and — “ hello ? hey —- hey, are you okay ? you’re alright, yeah ? ” and of course he is, it was only a nightmare, but something in fangs’ instinct only pushes him to check, to make absolutely sure that it had just been that.

⭐️    —-  veronica  was  an  early  nester.  she  had  enough  (  self  )  respect  to  wait  until  the  ‘  convenient  dick  appointment  ’  dance  was  over  until  she  started  moving  things  in  and  around,  slumming  it  in  the  shithouse  until  everything  ELSE  started  feeling  a  little  more  romantic.  still,  she  kept  it  subtle  at  first  ;  brought  fresh  flowers  around  every  other  visit  in  the  guise  of  a  gift  for  sweet  pea,  as  if  she  was  making  some  kind  of  statement  and  not  just  decorating  the  place  to  her  liking.  cleaning  off  counter - tops  in  every  room  for  things  she  apparently  needed  first  thing  in  the  morning  (  skincare  products  in  the  bathroom  and  overpriced  ‘  organic  ’  groceries  in  decorative  jars  in  every  corner  of  the  kitchen  ),  once  even  made  a  point  of  reaching  to  scratch  at  her  own  back  and  lying  that  “  maybe  i’m  allergic  to  POLYESTER  ”  so  he  would  think  there  was  a  reason  for  the  brand  new  bedsheets  that  appeared  the  following  day  –  other  than  the  simple  fact  that  veronica  liked  them,  of  course  –  as  if  sweet  pea  had  even  been  listening.  she  grew  a  little  more  shameless  with  time  (  candles  and  tchotchkes,  more  small  gifts  for  him,  that  were  really  for  herself  )  and  then  dramatically  more  so  after  she  accidentally  confessed  to  loving  him  (  in  a  group  setting  too…  an  all  time  low  for  veronica  lodge  )  and  just  decided  she  might  as  well,  started  coming  back  over  with  framed  photos  of  herself  taken  by  betty  down  by  the  river.  it  was  the  REALIZATION  she  was  pregnant  that  really  set  her  free  in  that  trailer,  and  she  had  sweet  pea  couch  shopping  in  greendale  and  hanging  the  new  curtains  she’d  picked  out.  she  stood  proud  in  the  living  area  with  pea,  explaining  her  plans  for  him  to  tear  down  and  replace  the  wallpaper  there,  not  even  a  week  before  she  was  on  the  road  back  to  new  york  city,  running  away  from  riverdale  and  their  home.
