E v e r y t h i n g. These two could fight over what colour the grass was 😂. It’s only ever little digs though - rolling their eyes, nudging one another, Noelle loves a good dig in his arm with her knuckles and obviously the sarcastic comments - and they never stay mad at one another for long! It winds Fangs up a little bit tbh because they can be at each other’s throats, a minute will tick by and they’ll be laughing over something together. I think the only thing that could get them to really fall out is if the trust between them was ever broken. If one betrayed the other then it would be hard for either to come back from that. 

They have so much trust in one another that they even understand when one has had to lie (eg Noelle not telling him about her house at first, though he does tease her about it ofc) and keep things from one another (eg Sweet Pea not telling her about them playing the game) and they’re so loyal to each other that if a confidence was betrayed that would really cause upset between them. But even then they’d be friends again after a little while. I don’t think one could function without the other, they’re each other’s ride or die.

Sweet Pea smiled to himself as Noelle bustled passed him. Her hand rested on his shoulder for barely a second before she hurried off into the crowds at the newly reopened Wyrm.

“So,” Toni said with a grin as she hopped up onto the pool table before Sweet Pea could take his shot “When were you gunna tell me?”

He scowled as he held his cue up for her to see “Trying to play a game here?”

Shrugging her shoulders Toni crossed her right leg over her left and leaned with the palms of her hands pressed against the green of the table top “I’ll move when you answer me.”

“Don’t know what you’re talking about,” he grumbled, his attention grasped hold of when he spotted one of the guys reach out to pinch Noelle’s bum as she passed.

“She can handle herself,” Toni said pressing her hand against his chest to stop him just as Noelle began to wipe the floor with the older, drunken serpent “You’re in love with her.”

His gaze quickly transferred down to where she was smirking up to him “Who?”

“Noelle!” Toni exclaimed letting out a laugh as he quickly moved to press his hand against her mouth “Gerroff!” she mumbled as she pushed him away “So?”

“So nothing,” he said with a scowl as he hooked his arm around her and lifted her off the table with ease “Stop talking,” he said as he glared down to his friend as Noelle made her way over to the two of them.

“This place is packed!” she said with a clap of her hands and a grin on her face. Wrapping her arms around Sweet Pea’s middle in excitement she leaned her head on his chest “Thank you for helping me so much!” she exclaimed before hopping up onto her toes and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Following on from this prompt

Her eyebrows raised as the handle of her door turned. She hadn’t been expecting any visitors but found herself smiling when the tall frame of her best friend clicked the door shut behind him.

“Well,” he said as he stood at the foot of her bed and crossed his arms over his chest “This is, by far, the dumbest thing you’ve ever done.”

“Even dumber than the time-”

“Yes.”

Noelle narrowed her eyes “You don’t even know what I was gunna say.”

“I don’t need to know,” Sweet Pea answered he sat down in the seat beside her bed “This trumps it.”

i should have known this was coming! 

“Sweet Pea!!!”

A sigh left him and he reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose at the sound of his name being screeched in his direction. He knew who it was, who would be storming toward him with her fists tightly clenched at her sides, without even looking and he had to admit he had been waiting for it to happen.

Slowly, lazily, getting to his feet he arched his eyebrows and opened his mouth to speak. To attempt to defend himself.

“I could kill you right now!” Noelle didn’t give him a chance, her knuckles digging into his arm before she folded her arms tightly over her chest “Do you even know what you’re letting Jughead fucking Jones get you into? People have died Sweet Pea…died!!! All because of this game!”

“I know Bambi I-”

“Oh but do you? Do you know?” she asked tilting her head to one side as she looked up to him, tapping her foot impatiently and letting out an exasperated sigh “Because to me, and I may not be thinking straight I don’t know, but if you know a game is killing people you should, maybe, not play it?!”

“It’s just-”

“And do you know who had to come and tell me? Because you and Fangs made sure kept me out of the loop?!” she exclaimed throwing her arms out into a dramatic shrug “Betty Cooper. You know-” on this word she punched him in the arm “-how much I hate talking to Betty Cooper!!”

A smirk bravely came to Sweet Pea’s face “Are you more mad because we’re playing the game or you had to converse with Betty Cooper?”

Before Noelle could argue back she stopped herself “Converse? Who fed you a dictionary?” she teased, head shaking and her angry expression reappearing “Don’t distract me!” she said jabbing her finger into his chest “I am not happy.”

His smirk fell into a soft smile as he hooked his arm around her shoulders and, ignoring her protests, tugged her into his side “It’s nice to know you worry about me still Bambi,” he said dropping a kiss on the top of her head “But I promise you this is purely research. We’re not even that into it.”

“Hmm,” she answered wriggling from his grasp and pushing the hair tumbling down out of her bun from her face. She knew how competitive they could be, could remember how they would make everything into a competition when they were younger, and wasn’t sure she could take Sweet Pea at his word “I’m keeping my eye on you,” she warned allowing her tone to relax slightly, though still keeping her edge.
