Sweet Pea x Reader request.

Angsty.

A/N: Hey dolls! Haven't written or been active in ages, I had exams (and more yet to come). This is not my best writing but I'm definitely rusty and hope you enjoy it nevertheless. Xx

---------------------------------------

Friday Night

“Ow!” Sweet Pea pulled his head from your grip.

“Shhh don't be a baby, it's only antiseptic” you pulled his head back, dabbing the burning liquid on his cut lip. Blue, purple, black, culminating in a swirl under his right eye.

“If you don't like being patched up, may I suggest not fighting” you dabbed an especially large amount, he sucked air through his teeth.

“See if you were a nice girlfriend you wouldn't do that"

“If I was a nice girlfriend, I wouldn't be your girlfriend”

“Sounds ideal” you nudged him back and his shoulders hit the overhanging cupboard. He sat on the kitchen counter, you standing between his legs, the dreaded antiseptic in hand.

“People warned me you Northsider girls would hurt me” he smirked and you ripped last week's plaster (band-aid) from his chest, receiving a howl.

“Good, it's clean” you grinned.

“Oh you're dead” Sweet Pea flew off the counter and threw you over his shoulder, you squealing and laughing the whole way to his downstairs bedroom before he collapsed on top of you on the bed. You put your hand to his face above yours and gently guided your thumb along his darkening eye. He caught it in his hand before kissing it gently and holding it there, still supporting himself over you with his other arm.

“Sweets, I really don't want you to fight anymore”

“Uggggghhhhhhhhhh” he whined collapsing alongside you, still holding your hand.

“I don't want to have this fight again ynn, you're ageing me”

“And you're ageing me! Please Sweet Pea I hate seeing you all battered”

“Really, I thought it would make me look more rugged and sexy” you rolled your eyes at him.

“I prefer you not all cut up, please no more fighting?”

“I'll try”

“Promise?”

“Okay okay I promise”

“Good” you smiled, kissing his cheek and moving from the bed.

“Ughhh staaaay”

“I have to go home Pea” you slipped your fading denim jacket over your shoulders. He quickly scrambled to the edge of the bed, caught you by the hips and hauled you back flush with his chest again.

“Peaaaa”

“I can't help it, my nurse is just so damn hot” he managed between breathy kisses against your neck sending you giggling before moaning.

“No no no I seriously have to go” almost as quickly as he caught you you were up again.

“Remember, no fighting” he groaned at your form of goodbye and collapsed back onto the bed.

Saturday Night

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!” it hadn't taken long before the promise you made together was heading to be broken, all it took was one foul comment mixed with alcohol and gang pride for Sweet Pea to be on his feet. Sweet Pea shoved the offender back and then found himself being hauled backward by Fangs and Toni.

“Easy SP YN will be here soon, calm down, we'll handle it, go have a cigarette” fangs was met with a grunt before Sweet Pea took his advice and exited.

Under the shelter of the Wyrm, Sweet Pea took a drag from his cigarette and watched your car lights cut through the lashing rain. He smiled at his stumbling princess before crushing the butt into the damp, rotting decking. His arms outstretched and quickly enveloped you.

“Hey love” he acknowledged your greeting with a kiss on the forehead. You moved to kiss him deeper only to be jolted to the floor by the same man to have aggravated Sweet Pea early as he made his forced exit.

“Hey! Watch it buddy!” Sweet Pea didn't notice who it was on attending to you but once you found your feet his eyes locked onto the offender. You found yourself screaming as Sweet Pea launched himself from the deck and onto the back of the man. Fangs and Toni ran out to your screams and attempted to separate the two men as they rolled in the wet gravel car park. Finally pulling Sweet Pea from the man, the two Serpents chased him from the grounds.

“Pea are you hurt?!” You clung to your boyfriend sweatshirt searching for immediate pain.

“No no I'm okay no more than usual”

“Okay good because-” you then pushed him into the chest and away from you.

“-YOU PROMISESD NO MORE FIGHTING”

“THIS WAS DIFFE-RENT I HA-D A REA-SON” you cocked your eyebrow to his slurred words before exhaling loudly. He moved to hold you again and you found yourself stepping back into the rain.

“leave me alone Sweet Pea, I can't even look at you right now”

“OH MY GOD G-ET USED TO IT I-M A SER-PENT ITS WHAT W-E DO GIV-E IT A REST!”

“I’M NEVER GOING TO GET USED TO! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO?!”

“OH SO WH-AT IS THIS THE EN-D OF US?!” you gasped briefly at his question.

“If you can't stop then maybe...maybe it is”

“Well I'm not going to stop so-”

“-fine. I'll go. Don't follow me. Just leave me alone.” You stormed off, brushing shoulders with the two returning Serpents before speeding off in your car.

“What happened SP?”

“ugh forget her, I need alcohol, a lot of alcohol”

-

Sunday Morning

Sweet Pea woke up in the bath of his bathroom, drenched in smell of alcohol and cigarettes. He rubbed his hands down his face and attempted to blink his world into focus.

It then all came flooding back in waves. Sweet Pea went to jump from the bath, the hangover washing him back to the porcelain. He opted to call you instead only to leave 27 voicemails and countless unanswered texts. He fucked up and he knew it. His hangover led him to spend the day in the tub, the bruises from the previous nights altercations rearing their ugly head.

-

Monday

You dodged him around every possible corner until finally he caught you on your way to your car.

“Ynn we need to talk about-”

“No”

“Yn come on I made a mistake-”

“Sweet Pea, you can't keep a basic promise. It's not worth it” you went to open the car door only to have Sweet Pea close it again.

“You mean I'm not worth it?” He swallowed the lump in his throat and forced you to look into his eyes.

“Pea-”

“I'm not worth it, fine I get it” he pushed from the car and stormed off, fighting tears before you could say any more.

~

Friday

Sweet Pea hadn't been to school for the rest of the week and you had Fangs at your side every day trying to convince you to talk to him but to no avail. You found yourself at home in bed alone on a Friday, usually time spend with Sweet Pea. Your family had all gone out for dinner and you were settling for bed when a knock rocked off the window. Sweet Pea was clung to the rose trellis, it shaking beneath his weight.

“What the hell Sweet Pea you could fall!” You hauled him and and he fell to the floor at your feet.

“Yn” his voice was hoarse and shaky and you bit your lip to try not to react.

“Yn please please talk to me, even if it's to shout at me or something I just need to hear your fucking voice even if it's to tell me to jump off the roof please just- just say anything” he was becoming increasingly difficult to understand as the boy who was afraid of emotion could no longer fend it out. Tears began to threaten and then attack him, he was quickly in floods at your feet and you were entirely in shock. He looked up from beneath his jet black hair before dragging a worn hand across his damp cheeks. The sudden realisation of the magnitude of crazy he had just released hit him.

“I uhh I should just go” he swallowed his tears and pushed himself off your carpet only to be stopped in his tracks by your hand on his shoulder.

“You can stay” he nodded lowly unsure what to do next as the both of you sat down the end of your bed.

“I'm sorry I broke our promise”

“I'm sorry you broke it too”

“I'm also sorry I broke some of the roses on my way up” you let yourself laugh at him them and he smiled greatly.

“You'll have to apologise to my dad for that not me”

“Id rather throw myself off the roof”

“I'd prefer if you didn't but okay” his turn to laugh at you, nudging you as he went.

“I feel pretty shitty for crying in front of you”

“Wouldn't be the first time Pea”

“Hey! They killed that dog off after making you attached! Marley deserved better! Oh god I'm reliving it” he put his hand to his forehead as if to faint and nudged him back.

“You're such a dork”

“Your dork...or emm yeah”

“yeah my dork” you laced your fingers through his battered ones.

“ill really try to be better ynn”

“I know you will”

“So…” you collapsed back on the bed allowing the air to hang between you both before sitting back up again.

“Okay”

“Wait okay?!”

“Yeah, you're worth it Pea” he then physically jumped into the air before pulling you from your perch and into his chest.

“I love you so damn much I promise I'll try, I'll really really try” his kissed your face all over as you smiled, happy to be back to the usual.

----------------------------

This imagine came to my head when I saw these gifs and the dream I had tonight.

I just thought I would write it down. It’s my first on so please be gentle. *Fingerscrossed*

The door to the white wrym opened and sweet peas jaw dropped.

It was you. It was your first night as a Serpent. Just yesterday you had finished all the tasks and you were about to celebrate it tonight with all your friends and of course you had to look decent.

And with decent you meant wearing this tight and also maybe a little to short leather skirt with this beautiful lace shirt that showed more of your upper body than it probably should. But most importantly was the jacket. The thick black leather jacket with the green snake on its back. Finally. You had waited so long to get this jacket and be a real part of the Serpents.

The Serpents had picked you up when no one else had wanted you. Your parents had died when you were just 3 years old. Since then you had been going from foster family to children’s home every month. It was surprising how rude adults could treat a child. It seemed like you were a pet. They tried you out for three weeks and then just brought you back because you weren’t “intelligent” or “brave” enough. It was a formative time for you so obviously it was even harder for you to trust these dark, leather wearing men that just wanted to help you. It took some time but now you couldn’t be happier that you did trust them in the end and therefore became a part of their family. They told you that even though you did not fulfill all the tasks every serpent had to do, you were one. You really wanted to believe that but in the back of your head, you always wanted to be like every other serpent and be proud to master all the tasks. So you did. Just yesterday you managed to accomplish the serpent dance and therefore become a real serpent.

You felt like your life was finally coming together but there was still one thing you needed to handle. You and sweet pea have been friends since the first day the Serpents adopted you but lately you felt like there was something else going on between you and him. You were flirting all the time and couldn’t really let the day pass by without having talked to him because he just made you so happy. You weren’t entirely sure if he felt the same for you but Toni has been telling you that he did. So you decided that tonight you were just going to risk it.

After entering the bar you went straight to sweet pea. He had a big smile on his face and said “oh baby you look good tonight” as soon as you had approached him. “Oh thx sweets” you said while greeting him with a hug. He rolled his eyes because of the nickname you use for him. He always says it does not sound as dangerous as sweet pea, but let’s be honest none of the two names did really sound terrifying but you would never tell him.

“So how do you feel, now that you are a real serpent?” he asked smirking while he gave you a drink. “I feel soooo good, sweets!” you said, drinking the whole glass all at once, “and I freaking love the jacket!” you added. Sweet pea checked you out from bottom to top again. This was probably the tenth time he did so. You still did not really know how to approach the task you had set yourself for tonight…

“Let’s go dance.” Sweet pea shouted into your ear because the music was louder than before. You both had already drank a bunch of drinks but you still felt really. He led you to the dancefloor. Right as you reached your favorite song started playing and you began to dance. Kind of sexually rubbing your back on sweet pea while he was placing his hands on your hips, dancing to the song. You had a lot of fun and when the song stopped and turned around laughing. Sweet pea looked you deep into the eye as you did the same. Suddenly he leaned down and placed the long awaited kiss onto your lips. First you were a little shocked but eventually returned the kiss. “Oh my God” you whispered when the kiss ended. “Let’s leave” Sweet pea whispered with a big grin on his face.

Outside of the bar you stopped him. “Sweets wait a minute, what do you want to do?” You weren’t really sure if he was serious right now. “Exactly what I have been doing for a long while. I think I might be in love with you Y/N…” He stumbled while nervously scratching his neck. Instead of answering you pulled him in for another kiss.

Sweet Pea x Reader

A/N: here it is you guys 😂

----------------------------------

Sweet Pea POV

I sat in the locker room, the other bulldogs buzzing around me with their own pre game rituals. I didn't feel like playing today even if it was an important game, I just wanted to lie face down in a ditch somewhere. I had made a mess, one bad decision after the other and I was beginning to think that started with Sarah. I hated myself for thinking it but was she even worth it? Do I do the gauntlet and have them throttle me?

“Sweet Pea, let's go, you're on the starting team” Reggie snapped me out of it and I found myself once again with my feet on the floor and onto the court. A trance began. Next thing I knew I was flat on my back on the court floor, the lights dipping in and out of focus, coach shouting without audible words as he stood above me.

~

“THE REST OF THE SEASON?!”

“Calm down Sweet Pea” the doctor patted my shoulder as the colour was ever so slightly returning to my cheeks as coach paced the floor.

“Are you sure there's nothing we can do doc?”

“I'm afraid not, concussion is very serious, he's out” I had been completely knocked clean from me feet by a colossal beast from the other team. If I was conscious when it happened I would have killed him. If any of the other Serpents bothered to come watch the games anymore they would have killed him.

I looked all over to find Sarah and I just couldn't, the gym had cleared out by the time I was done with my HIA and she didn't wait. I circled around the empty gym, trying to clear my head from the mess I had surrounded myself with.

The sound of the fire doors lapping took my eyes from the glossy floor. Yn was on the phone deep in conversation and had clearly not seen me. Her eye was healing but that was about it, her recovery was seemingly stagnant. I moved to leave not wanting to eavesdrop but her shaky voice stopped me. He knees buckled as if she were a newborn foal and she hit the varnish almost as hard as I did.

“Yn!” The phone slipped from her hands as she favoured covering her flooding eyes instead. I ran to her immediately, blocking my own disheveled dizziness from my mind. My arms hung around her as I pulled her up and against me.

“What's happened ynn-ie, shhhh tell me what's happened, please” her reply to my concern was a pure mismash of syllables, I had never seen her or anyone cry so hard and it was shattering my heart. I picked her up as if I were a fireman carrying a body from a building knowing I would never get a legible answer from her in this state. I was careful when lifting and moving her, knowing beneath her leather was a body battered from my neglect.

The carpark had almost cleared out after the game, undoubtedly all gone to Pops in celebration, it suited me that way, I know yn would want no one to see her this upset. I let her worn boots touch the ground as I rested her back against my truck and held her forearms to prop her up.

“Please tell me what's happened ynn-ie”

“M-y dad...he-Pea!” Her quivering voice couldn't handle the words and she launched forward back into my arms, head flush with my chest. The grumble of an engine was accompanied by a skid of rubber on tarmac. Fangs came fumbling off his bike and at us.

“Ynn!” His own voice was as about as steady as his entrance. I reluctantly let him pull yn from me and into himself, his callous hands stroking her hair as her heart audibly shattered. Fangs looked at me almost as if I was the one to do this to her in the first place.

“Hey ynn it's going to be okay sweetheart I'm here, c'mon let's get you home” he went to haul her weakening body towards his bike before I put a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“Fangs she's not able to hold onto you on that bike, she'll fall and get hurt-”

“-more hurt than you made her?” Okay I deserved that.

“Yes. Let me take her in my car and you follow behind and then I'll leave again if you want just...I can't leave her like that”

“You pick your moments to have loyalty don't you?” I bit the inside of my cheek, afraid if I made a dig of my own he wouldn't let me help. I settled for a blank face and then opened the passenger seat door, Fangs begrudgingly agreeing and helping me sit her in and close the door.

“Fangs, what happened”

“Y/D/N is dead” fuck.

~

3 weeks later. SP POV.

It was a surreal time in my life. Sarah and I were fighting like cat and dog, Fangs and Toni were slowly letting me back in, yn was broken. She hadn't let me leave her side much, which greatly annoyed some of the Seniors but I didn't care. I was loyal to ynn and her familys reign. Others not so much.

We found ourselves in the midst of a civil war. Many (including myself partially) believed ynn was too young to assume her birthright and her absence from meetings while in mourning didn't help. I was still jacketless but was allowed attend meetings once again, doing recon to assess the situation. Ynn was only just 19, her birthday tainted with the death of her father and her power hungry uncle had arrived back in town and he was starving.

Shouting and hollering filled the Whyte Wyrm as a meeting took place, hell ascending with the absence of a murdered leader, believed to be taken by the same people who went for ynn. Her uncle standing on the pool table, spouting crap about YNs unsuitability receiving disagreeing groans from all of the Jrs and the majority of Seniors. The bar was swallowed in empty shouting.

The sound of a gun being fired silenced everyone immediately, some ducking for cover but most reaching for their own guns. Ynn emerged from the upstairs office, standing on the staircase having fired a gun through the ceiling. She didn't look like the weak yn I had left this morning when I went to school. She was reborn from the ashes of a family coming down around her.

“Yn, I wasn't expecting your company this evening” her uncle Frank seethed.

“Clearly” she dragged her eyes around the room before continuing her descent down the rickety stairs. My phone buzzed with a message from Sarah that I silenced.

“You can leave now Frank, your assistance will no longer be needed, I'm ready to take on my duty” her voice was unshaken, like her stare in Frank's direction.

“But Yn, you need guidance”

“I need nothing from you and your disloyalty, I have plenty of assistance should I require it”

“Yn, I will not have this disrespect in front of the Serpents. I am your senior, I-”

“Actually no, I am your senior and your behavior in the wake of my father's death is unacceptable. He's hardly buried a week and you're gunning for his job. My job.” the other Serpents including myself looked amongst ourselves, afraid to breathe too loudly in case it attracted YNs cold tone.

“FP, please see Frank on his way. Meeting is dismissed. Fangs my fath-my office now” the bar scurried back to life and I watched FP escort a begrudge Frank from the bar. My phone sounding off once again.

“Hello?- Sarah I'm out- no I can't come over I have serpent things- yes it's important- Sarah! Her dad died don't say shit like that! Goodbye!” I hung up the phone and turned it off for the first time since I did the night yn was hurt.

“Trouble in paradise?”

“I don't think you could call it paradise anymore Toni”

“Hmph, you've been good to us these past few weeks, it's appreciated” I nodded in thanks and she looked at her own phone before taking my hand and bringing me to ynns office, having clearly been summoned.

Sweet Pea x reader

Synopsis: You're studying law while your boyfriend gets in trouble with it. Desperate to find some money to afford an engagement ring for you, Sweet Pea seeks help from a Ms.Peabody.

A/N: sorry I haven't posted in ages between Christmas and exams I've been wrecked. I wrote this a little differently than how I'd normally do it. Hope you like the idea and aren't to mad about the execution. Feed back welcomed especially with the new (for me) format. This fic is really long, so long I didn't have enough space to do the Love Chrissy Xx, so love Chrissy Xx. (This is also why some speech towards the end has to be on the same line my apologies)

------------------------------------

“Sweet Pea?” The Serpent woke you, surrounded by books, as he dragged his feet and clicked the door close.

“Oh sorry baby, go back to sleep you have college in the morning” he peeled his wet Serpent jacket from his skin and began changing.

“It's like 4am, did the Serpents really need you this late?” you shoved the law books from the bed.

“Yeah they did, lot more to do lately.” he huffed, collapsing alongside of you, the bed bending slightly more with the new weight. You immediately cuddled up to him, he willingly accepting it. His skin cold from the night instantly warmed.

“what was the job Pea?”

“I'd rather you not know, it'll be easier for you to lie to the police then when they come looking to take me away” he laughed as you playfully hit him into the chest.

“Don't joke about that Pea”

“Well I mean on the brightside our conjugal visits would be pretty great”

“Are they not now? I'm going to be a lawyer, I could get you off” you winked and the your hand slipped up the inside of his shirt, running over the bumps and grooves of his muscular frame. You both met hungrily before Sweet Peas phone buzzed to life, you both groaning at the sound of being interrupted.

“Sorry honey do you mind?” You smiled at him before kissing him and reburying yourself in his chest as he went for his phone.

As if on cue your phone lit to life, Unknown Number decorating the screen, it continued to buzz as texts came flying in.

“Wait yn!” He snatched the phone from your hand and you looked on confused.

“Woah Pea” you laughed before taking it back from his tight grip and reading the texts, your face dropped.

“Sweet Pea…” you looked from the phone to him, sat up and pushed away from him, he also sat up and attempted to move back closer to you.

“Wha-whats wrong yn” every possible scenario running through his head, he reached for your arm and you pulled back.

3 Weeks Earlier ~ Sweet Pea POV

“Okay Fangs I've decided, I'm going to propose”

“Wow no ring, you're not down on one knee, I'm sorry SP but I can't accept” he put one hand on his heart and the other to his head before I shoved him.

“Oh Sweet Pea we can't! We’re only 23! What will our parents say! What about ynn!” He continued to act like the idiot he is as I laughed at him.

“youre right Fangs you're right, I'll have to just settle for yn, I don't deserve you”

“I'm afraid so Pea”

“Don't call me Pea” I looked at him seriously before laughing again.

“So after what? 7 years together you've decided it's time?” He took a drag from his cigarette, the Whyte Wyrm lights glowing behind us.

“Almost 8, in about 3 weeks” I crushed my own cigarette into the gravel.

“That's exciting SP, congrats dude! When you gonna do it?

“Not sure, I guess our anniversary?”

“Yeah sounds just cheesy enough for yn to love it but still mock you for it”

“Hah yeah, I think she'll love it”

“So how are you going to pay for the wedding?”

“Well I mean we won't have to get married right away so there's time to save. We probably won't get married till after yn finishes Law next year at least”

“What about the ring?”

“When did you become a Wedding Planner?” I laughed and he crushed his cigarette next to mine, he then put his hands up in defense.

“Nah man, just wondering, rings are like expensive and we're not exactly making a killing at the garage and she'll probably want a diamond not a bolt”

“Yeah I guess but I'll figure it out. Anyway there's still time, I better get going, she'll be home soon and you know I like to be there. We'll probably come back for a drink later” he smiled before giving a small wave and escaping the chill night back in the bar. Huh, where am I going to get this money, I threw my hands in my pockets and began my walk home but was first interrupted.

“So, SP is marrying the small town Northsider, fairytale”

“What do you want Penny?” I replied harshly to the voice behind me. This witch.

“Nothing nothing, just, yanno, Northsiders do want the big fairytale wedding” she ran her hand across my shoulders before standing in front of me. Snake in the grass.

“And?”

“And like Fangs said, costs a lot of money, a lot of money you don't have” she jabbed her finger into chest. Ugh, hate her. I tried to move passed her but she instantly pushed me back.

“i have money you know SP, I could help you”

“I don't want your help”

“Suit yourself, I'm sure the Northsider will stick around for the nuts and bolts you Gearheads provide” she began sauntering off. I will not bite the bait. I will not bite the bait. I will not bite the bait. Damn it.

“Penny wait” she turned with a smirk. Damn it.

“What's the price?”

“Few favours”

“It's never a few with you”

“It's a simple favour.” Her grin was soul crushing, this is a giant mistake. Yn is worth it.

“What's the favour?”

“Take my niece to a family wedding, might give you ideas for your own” this was the last thing I was expecting her to say and she could easily tell.

“See, easy” this is not going to be easy.

~

2 Weeks later

It was not easy. It was horrible. Her niece, Annie, was 21 and a mess. I had to lie to yn and tell her I was working late at the garage, hated it. Hated the wedding even more. Loud. Abrasive. Peabody's everywhere. Annie was drunk for most of it and under Penny's instruction I walked her back to her room after. Then had to practically peel her off me. Uncomfortable.

“So time for your next job”

“No Penny I did what I had to” I went to close the trailer door but she jammed her foot before I could.

“Heard you bought a nice ring recently, cost a bunch I'd say? A bunch you don't have” if I could, I'd kill her but the only grave I'm digging is for myself. Fuck.

~

Present ~ Sweet Pea Pov

“Yn, honey tell me what's wrong” she was already out of the bed, getting dressed, grabbing things and shoving them in a bag.

“What's wrong?!” I crawled me way to the edge of the bed, grabbed the bag from her hands and unpacked while she continued getting dressed.

“What's wrong!?” She shouted back. She never shouts at me...she rarely shouts at me.

“Yeah!”

“Why is someone sending me photos of you and some girl in some hotel room!” She threw the phone at my chest, definitely going to leave a mark. The phone showed me in the hotel room with Annie, when she was hauling me onto the bed. Nothing happened but this made it really look like something did. Fuck Penny, trying to take the only good thing I have from me.

“Yn…” I looked up and she stood over me, nothing but hurt on her face.

“I can explain” I didn't want to have to explain.

“Well?!”

“Emmm” she groaned at me, throwing her head back before grabbing the bag from me again and ripping things from the dresser and her books from the floor.

“Oh and happy anniversary” she hurled a box and narrowly missed my head and then slammed every door of the trailer. Fuck.

I got dressed as fast as possible, grabbed my Serpent jacket before bolting out the door after her, the rain still hammering the aptly named Sunnyside.

“Yn please! Where are you going!?”

“I DON'T KNOW! JUST AWAY FROM YOU!” she continued pounding the pavement outside the fence of the park. I caught up to her easily, the law books weighing her down.

“Listen that was a job for Penny!”

“Excuse me!” She stopped suddenly sending me slamming into her.

“Okay well no that's not what I meant!”

“WELL WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEN?! what do you mean” the sight of her crying hurt me more than anything I could think of. I just grabbed her and pulled her into my chest.

“I needed money and Penny gave it to me, I just needed to take her niece to a wedding and then some other things and then I'd have enough money and her niece just got super drunk but I swear, yn I swear nothing happened, please believe me” I pulled her from my chest to look her right in her beautiful, sad eyes.

“I-I think-i want to believe you Pea...but why did we need money? It's not my college fees I'm on scholarship? Is it the trailer? What is it?”

“Umm” okay okay okay. It's a good sign she said We and not I and she still called me Pea, good signs.Breathing, breathing, breathing, okay, okay, okay and then I dropped down to one knee and pulled the little box from the leather pocket.

“This is what the money was for” I peeled back the lid to reveal the stone I could have never afforded without Penny. The witch. Yn covered her mouth and I was losing confidence.

“Yn Yln, I love you, please please please will you marry me” “No” I'm going to be sick.

“Wh...wha” I just couldn't find my words, my ribcage was collapsing on itself.

“I wont marry you with that ring” she dropped her arms to her sides and bit her lip before pulling me up from my knees.

“I don't understand”

“You take that ring back and get a refund and then take the money back to that witch”

“Bu-but the ring” “I don't care about the ring Pea!”

“But fangs said-” she rolled her eyes and I just realised how stupid I sounded.

“I couldn't care less if you gave me a freaking bolt or something! Just please take back the ring and get away from that woman” “And after I give back the ring….”

“Then I guess I'll have to marry you” her smile was the best possible thing I could see after she gave me a mini heart attack. “You have to have a ring” I began rummaging through my pockets at her protest before pulling out the contents of my pockets. My keys, a button, a bolt and some change. “Emm” I took the bolt and slipped it on her baby finger and she laughed.

“Perfect I love it, except it's super cheesy you're proposing to me on our anniversary, I still love it” I laughed at her and grabbed her tightly around the waist. I adore this girl. I kissed her furiously.

“The Serpent's may have just got a new lawyer”

“Yeah and now you owe me a favor” I raised my eyebrow at her before kissing her.

“You have to carry these books back home...and me home”

Sweet Pea POV.

I had the annoyance of bringing Jughead to collect some of the things he left behind at Riverdale High. I looked around the outside of this perfect little school, not a guard in sight. The privilege of the privileged I guess. After an uncomfortable circling of the school, receiving the usual disproving stares, I returned to the front of the school and leaned on my car waiting for Jughead. Then she caught my eye.

At the top of the steps to the posh hell, stood an angel. Dressed in her cheer uniform, she was carrying a large pile of books, reading the note that lay on top as she slowly walked down the stone steps. She was like a goddess among common men. Then she stumbled down the last step, dropping her books everywhere. Okay, so a clumsy goddess, I can deal with that.

“Here let help you…” I'm not someone who helps a stranger? Especially a Northsider.

“Oh thanks” she gathered her notes while nervously biting her lip. She finally stood and took the books I had collected for her. She jumped slightly at the full sight of me. I'm used to that.

“Oh I uhh thanks”

“Yeah the snake tattoo tends to have that effect on people” she bit the inside of her lip before smiling, clearly realising I was joking.

“Oh forgot one umm- yn” I read her name on the cover. Her name was as beautiful as the person it belonged to. Once she got over the initial shock of seeing the Serpent decorate my next, she didn't seem to want to rush away from me. New.

“Thanks umm"

“Sweet Pea” ready for the jokes about my name.

“Sweet Pea, thanks” she just smiled. I want to take a picture of that beautiful smile but that might cross some line.

“Oh you cut your knee when you fell…” on second glance to her beautiful legs, they were all marks.

“Oh yeah, that's okay, it happens I'll live...Yeah so, you go here Sweet Pea?”

“Oh God no” she raised an eyebrow at me.

“I mean I'm sure it's nice and all but too far from home...I'm guessing you go here though” I looked at her in her cheer uniform again. It looks great on her but would be even nicer on my bedroom floor. She laughed at my attempt at humour, I like her I think. Wait no I don't. Hello! Northsider! I think not!

“Hey Ynn, this guy bothering you” a guy adorning a blue and gold letterman jacket threw his arm around her and she seemed to almost flinch.

“No no Chris, Sweet Pea and I were just talking” she looked at the ground, her beautiful smile long gone.

“Yeah Chris. Just chatting.” My sarcastic tone came easy and he didn't seem to appreciate it.

“Watch it buddy” a threat? That's brave.

“Or what?” I was about to square up to him when Jughead came flying down the steps and into the back of Chris.

“Oh sorry Chris, oh hey YN! How are things?...did I interrupt something?”

“No you didn't, we were just leaving, come on ynn we have practice” he seemed to half drag her away from us. She glanced over her shoulder and gave a small wave, a smile to match.

“Chris is such a jerk to that poor girl, Don't know why she's with him. Oh crap look at the time! come on we better get back” he threw his books into the boot but my eyes were locked on Yns silhouette. Time to get out of here, I'm losing my mind. Stepping down off the path I stood on a small notepad. I picked it up to see YNs name decorate the cover.

“Come on Sweet Pea we have to get back” he called from the passenger seat. I nodded after looking inside the cover of the notebook. As I had expected, yn was the type of girl to have her contact information on her books.

What a fucking jerk. Who says things like that? Not someone who is sane, that's for sure. I continued my stewing for another hour, working away at the impossible car.

The slam of a car door snapped me out of my angry daze before I went back to fixing the car door in the garage.

“What's up SP?!” Fangs slid across the bonnet of the car to my side.

“Nothing really, you?” I went back to fixing the wiring in the door.

“Whose yn?”

“What?” My eyes snapped back to him and he dangled her notes out in front of me. Damn it I forgot to put them away!

“Oh no one” I went to grab them but he pulled his arm back.

“Northsider by the looks of the school address”

“Umm”

“You're not going rogue on us are you?” He teases and I continued with the door.

“Wait, are you?” He slid off the bonnet to stand closer to me, more serious now.

“No of course not” I pushed him back, grabbing her notebook from him.

“Umm hi” I looked up to the garage to door at the familiar beautiful sound on Yns voice. She stood in the doorway, long strapped handbag slung over her shoulder, hands held together as one in front of her, biting her lip.

“Well hello there” Fangs went to approach before I caught him by the shoulder and dragged him back. Nope not this one.

“Ohhhhh you must he YN?” I'm going to kill him.

“Umm yeah nice to meet you…”

“Fangs”

“Fangs and Sweet Pea, no one called like Phil or John around here no?” She smirked and I returned the same.

“This isn't the Northside Princess” he said sliding out past her. He winked from behind her before miming some obscene gestures. I'm going to hurt him later. She turned her head and he stopped before winking again and leaving to talk to Tall Boy outside by the motorbikes.

“Well he seems nice”

“Oh yeah he's very cheery” who am I? Since when do I say 'cheery’

“I hope you don't mind but Jughead told me where you might be after we got kind of...cut off”

“Yeah, that happen a lot?”

“More than I'd care to admit” she walked around my workshop as she spoke, taking it all in. I wish I had had time to clean up. I popped the hood on the car, trying to seem like I didn't care that she was wandering around in close proximity. She finally stopped her strolling when she was to the side of the car next to me, smiling. Why is this one always smiling?

“Nice car”

“Oh right yeah thanks, it's shot though, might just scrap it for parts”

“Oh, shame….those wires shouldn’t be connected”

“What?” I couldn't help but laugh and she turned kind of red.

"I umm sorry I'm sure you know what you're doing...even if you're doing it wrong..."

"No no Gearhead, show me" she seemed to weigh up her options before settling on the right one.

“Umm...gloves?” I crinkled my face up in confusion before uncrossing one arm from the other and pointing to the work bench behind her. She put her bag on top of the table before slipping on the gloves and draping her hair over one shoulder. She then disconnected the two wires in question and connected them to different ones. What does she think she's doing? I laughed aloud, this girl is going to kill herself....kind of hot.

“That's also wrong...do you mind if I…”

“No no be my guest Gearhead” I put my hands up and stepped back. Very hot.

After a moment or two she stepped back and closed down the hood again. Before sitting into the car she once again disconnected my wiring in the window before realigning them. If it was anyone else I would have snapped long ago. She sat into the driver seat and put the key into the ignition. This girl is either going to blow up the garage or blow my mind. She chose the latter.

The engine hummed into life after a second of her turning the key. She then pushed the window button and it glided down and up again, effortlessly. Unbelievable, thing hasn't started in years. She turned off the car again and slipped out. Extremely hot.

“Umm there you go…”

“How did you...what did you...how...what…” I stood mouth agape looking at the car, her turn to laugh.

“Did I just hear an engine?! Did you get Sal start finally?!” Fangs came running back in from outside.

“No y-”

“Don't be modest Sweet Pea” I looked at her and she nodded for me to take all the credit.

“We have to take it out!” Fangs half ran over to the car, not really caring who fixed it.

“Yeah we should” I agreed.

“Well I mean… you might want to take it off the blocks first…” she was right, it was on blocks and I couldn't help but laugh again.

“I'll see what we can do about that Northsider...shouldnt you be on your way back to your storybook?” he slipped out of the garage again. Lucky for him, I'm going to hurt him.

“So, cheerleader gear head?”

“Lots you don't know about me” she smirked.

“I'd love to find out more” I came square into her then, stepping closer. I swept the hair from eyes and she bit her lip. I love it when she does that.  Yns phone ringing cut through the growing tension between us. She looked down at the ground before crossing the room to her bag.

“Hello-yeah-sorry-sorry-im just out with...a friend-” great boost to my confidence “-ill be there soon, I'm sorry-no please don't I'm coming I'm sorry-okay-im sorry I'm on my way I'm sorry-okay bye” she hung up and threw her bag over her shoulder quickly half darting for the door.

“I’m sorry I have to go, bye Sweet Pea” her speech was rushed and disgruntled.

“Bye yn...wait wait your notebook!”

“Oh...I guess I forgot it again, I'll have to come back and get it another time?” she smirked.

“Yeah I guess so” I returned the sentiment.

“Although maybe once your car is off blocks you can bring it to me” she winked then she was gone from me again. The idea of willingly going to the Northside was not my idea of fun but yn was.  Beautiful Gearhead.

Sweet Pea

Warnings: Pure cute floof

A/N: Hadn't seen an idea like this so I just kind of ran with it, playing a lot with flash forwards and backs lately to make things interesting, let me know. This text block thing is killing me lately so I'm sorry a lot of speech isn't separated

----------------------------------------

“Where the fuck is he?!”

“Would you please calm down I'm sure he's a very busy man Sweet Pea”

“Well he should be busy with us yn we should be top priority! I'm going to go find him!"

“Sweets the doctor will get here when he gets here, please calm down your rising blood pressure is causing my blood pressure to rise which isn't good for the baby” he went from pacing to collapsing to your bedside, clutching your hand with the iv digging into it.

“Do you need something honey?! Water? A pillow? A blanket? My jacket? That man in the lobbies jacket?” You laughed at your panicked husband.

“What I need is for you to please calm down!” you turned your hand so you could run the back of his instead, his eyes wild.

“You're right, it'll be grand”

“Of course it will, you're here with me”

“You're right again my gorgeous wifey, we're in this together...now where the fuck is that doctor!?” He jumped again from your side and you rolled your eyes, collapsing back on the plush off white pillow.

“There's probably other babies he's seeing to first Sweets”

“Well there isn't another baby as important as ours!” You smiled sweetly at your already proud husband and then watched him take off out the door.

After another hour or so Sweet Pea had practically hauled a doctor in off the ward by the throat, with you apologising the whole time.

“Hmm you seem to be at 10cm but the baby isn't coming? Nurse it's time to prepare for an emergency C-section”

“What what what?! Where are you taking my wife!” the medical team unlocked the bed from the wall and began wheeling you through the corridor with Sweet Pea still clutching your weakening hand.

Soon Sweet Pea was decked out in scrubs and you had just been decked from the morphine, you laid splayed out on the surgical table, a team of surgical personal like ants around you. A tarp placed in front of both you and Sweet Pea to shield the operation, Sweet Pea turning almost green.

“Babies almost here honey”

“Oh fab, we should go skiing sometime or hay maybe sky diving” he laughed at your drug induced words. Through the doctors scurrying and Sweet Peas gentle encouragement your baby was soon screeching into life. “Congratulations, it's a girl” they carefully handed her to her new dad. Sweet Pea looked at his little bean in his arms and was almost afraid he'd break her.

“She's so beautiful Pea”

“You're so beautiful ynn, I'm so lucky” tears came to his eyes as the nurse took her from him to be cleaned. He turned his attention back to you, rubbing your hand gently and kissing the top of your head as you were sewn back together.

“Thank you yn, thank you so much for our little bean.

~

5 years later.

“Come here you little terror!” Sweet Pea playfully chased your little girl around the island unit of your home.

“Hey be careful!” You laughed from the kitchen table. Sweet Pea collapsed on the seat next to you, totally out of breath. “We should have another ynn”

“Emm can we focus on the two we have first” you smiled down at the 6 month old baby boy asleep in your arms. Dressed in a little Serpent jacket from Uncle Fangs, he yawned before smacking his lips together, returning to his sleep. “Dad play!”

“In a second Evie, Dad needs a rest” he put a large hand to his quickened heart and you laughed at him.

“Can I play with Ryan?”

“Not yet Sweeties he's still too small and you're too strong” she seemed sad at first by your answer but then decided to take it as a good thing and continued running around.

Finally with the kids asleep in bed, Evie content with the two books Sweet Pea had read, the two of you laid in bed staring at the ceiling.

“Yn I love you so much” you rolled into his side.

“Really? Even after two kids?” You teased.

“Especially after two kids, mom's are hot” he kissed the top of your head smiling. “Not as hot as dad's"

“Oh talk mom to me” he laughed kissing your cheek.

“We need-to renew-the insurance” you managed between kisses.

“Keep going” he hummed with a goofy smile.

“Cut-the-grass-tomorrow- or I'm- leaving you” you smiled back before meeting ferociously, Sweet Peas leg just began to tangle with yours as a small voice came to the door.

“Dad I'm scared” you broke apart and rolled your eyes at each other before Sweet Pea sat up and called Evie over.

“It's okay little bean, dad will always protect you” he pulled her into his chest. You had tried time and time again to get Sweet Pea to stop leaving her sleep between you both but he really couldn't help it. He was putty in Evie's hands. She laid between you both but of course faced her Dad.

~

11 years later.

“Evie! I said no!"

“Dad! Im 16! I'm old enough to drive! Why can't I go away with my friends camping for the weekend!”

“Because I said so! And take off that Serpent jacket!”

“Ugh!!!!” She shrieked, ripping the jacket from her shoulders to reveal her crop top and stomping up stairs.

“And put on a poncho for Christ's sake!” He shouted after her.

“Dad you should just let her go, it'd be easier on all of our eardrums if your screeching Bean is appeased” Ryan collapsed on the couch in the den alongside you. “Don't you have homework to do?”

“Oh yeah, annoyed with the favorite so we're all punished” he pushed himself off the couch and sauntered into the kitchen.

“We don't have favourites Ryan” you called after him laughing.

“Sweets sit down” he sat as close as possible, cupping your hand in his.

“I think we should let her go” “Absolutely not”

“Why not though, we went camping together when we were 16”

“Exactly, reason number one why she's not going, how we spent our camping trips” you smiled at your husband while his eyes were fixed on the stairs.

“And about the Serpent jacket…”

“She's not joining them, I want her to be proud of her Serpent blood but that doesn't mean I want her to live it!”

“You have to let her make that decision herself Sweetie” “So you want her to die”

“Of course not!-” you hit him with the pillow “-but I know we've raised her strong and smart so I know she'll make the right decisions”

“im going to go talk to her” you nodded in agreement and he took off up the stairs. You snuggled down into the couch, enjoying the peace and quiet before-

“YN!!!! EVIE IS GONE! OH SHE IS SO GROUNDED!” he came flying down the stairs taking two steps at a time, ryan came running in.

“I get her bedroom after you kill her!”

“We are not going to kill her….okay you can have it” you winked before tying up your coat and helping Sweet Pea with his, his rage enabling him from buttoning it correctly.

2 years later.

“I get your room now you're leaving”

“Oh wow Ryan I'll miss you too” Evie ruffled her brother's hair, her suitcase in hand, standing in the kitchen doorway.

“College is going to be great sweetie”

“thanks mom” you gave her a hug, Sweet Pea stood behind you almost afraid to look. The doorbell went off behind him.

“Wait wait that's Dean, I'll get it!” She ran passed Sweet Pea, ripped open the door and leaped into the tall boys arms. You could hear Sweet Pea growl so you tentatively took his hand.

“So, you're the boy who thinks he's seeing my daughter”

“Emm em ye-yes sir” he put out his hand to shake Sweet Peas and you immediately thought what a mistake. Sweet Peas strength had Dean biting back tears.

“Well come on Dean! We better go before traffic gets bad. Bye everyone!” She hugged you and Ryan quickly before standing in front of Sweet Pea, Dean after running away with the bags.

“Bye Dad, love you, I'll be back at Christmas”

“i love you too little Bean” she kissed his cheek before leaving the porch for her new college life. The three of you stood in the doorway waving her off.

3years later

“Mom, Dean cheated on me!” Evie was sobbing down the phone. You however were secretly happy, the whole family having never liked Dean in the first place.

“It's okay Evie, you'll be okay sweetie”

“Is that my little bean?” He looked at your worried face and his face dropped the smile.

“Oh god what's wrong?!” he snatched the phone from your hand and repeated the question down the phone

“Dean cheated on me Dad!” Sweet Peas eyes grew wide and he handed a hysterical Evie back to you.

“Wait Sweets where are you going?”

“I need to handle something, Ryan! We have business to attend to son!”

~

6 years later

“Mom make dad stop crying” “Leave him alone sweetie, his little girl just got married”

“Oh please stop talking about it I'll be sobbing...again” he put his hand up to you, forcing his eyes off his little girl in a big white dress. You kissed your teary husband tenderly before persuading him to look at his gorgeous daughter.

“You look so lovely my little bean” “Thanks Dad” “SP! We're related now can you believe it!” “No Fangs, I really can't” his voice was dry and his tears were gone upon seeing Evie's father in law.

~

4 years later

“Do you need anything my little bean? Water? A pillow? A blanket?” “Dad I need you to calm down please, it won't make the baby come any faster” you sat by your daughter and laughed at her reply, Sweet Pea hadn't changed much in this regard.

“I have to go find the doctor it's time to get this baby out!” He paced, almost to the point he was wearing hole in the floor. Fangs arrived shortly and quickly joined Sweet Pea. “Ryan sends his love and will be home from college as soon as he can” you stroked your daughter's hair as she ended another contraction. “Excuse me but only the dad and new mom can be in here for the birth” the small nurse was more than half the size of Sweet Pea. “You have to let me stay! That's my daughter!”

“Come on Sweets” you kissed your daughters head before having to physically haul your husband out of the room. The three of you stayed out in that bright hall for more than 3 hours. Both you and Fangs taking opportunity to nap on Sweet Peas shoulders, Sweet Pea wired awake. Finally the little nurse came out and granted you access, Sweet Pea hurdling himself at the door.

You got to hold your granddaughter first, Fangs cooing over your shoulder, his son doing the same.

“I'm so proud of you little bean" he rubbed her hand before hugging his daughter. “Thanks Dad, for everything….you want to hold your granddaughter?” he nodded gently in reply. The miniscule baby was pried from your hands and gently settled in her granddad's arms.

“Hello there my little bean”

Sweet Pea x Reader

A/N: there are more than 800 of you dotes!!! Thank you so so much!

“GO BACK TO YOUR NORTHSIDER BOYFRIEND!”

“YUP SWEET PEA BECAUSE YELLING AT ME HAS ACHIEVED SUCH GREAT THINGS IN THE PAST!”

“YOU DIDN'T DENY IT!”

“BECAUSE I'M DATING YOU YOU BIG IDIOT! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DENY ANYTHING”

“UGHHHH” Sweet Pea swung a heavy arm at the pile of still wrapped books on his desk, sending them to the ground. He put his hands behind his head and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to stop the dizzying anger. You were sick of the same argument between the both of you.

“You're being ridiculous Pea, Jughead and I are just friends, you have to stop doing this”

“DOING WHAT?!”

“THIS” you gestured to his ever angering face before he turned to conceal it.

“We've been dating over a year! When are you going to get it through your head that I'm not going to up and leave you!”

“WELL MAYBE YOU JUST SHOULD!”

“Yeah Sweet Pea, maybe I just should” your voice was small and shaky. Sweet Pea dropped his arms to his side, still facing away from you. It was a good thing too, his eyes were now squeezed shut to stop any tears from flowing. He didn't mean what he said and he didn't say what he meant.

“Okay fine Sweet Pea” you grabbed your jacket and practically ran out of the trailer at the sound of his silence. The second the latch on the door clicked Sweet Pea was shouting, half destroying his room in tears and anger. You stood outside the front door, hand over your face crying. You turned to ring the doorbell again but your finger stopped hovering over the bell. You turned on your heels and ran from the door. You weren't gone a moment before Sweet Pea swung the door open to apologise.

~

You walked home alone in the chill of the bitter Friday night. It had been a week since the break up and Sweet Pea was yet to come into school. It did not go unnoticed however there was practically a silent agreement to not mention it amongst the Serpents.

Your foot soaked through from the icy puddle it stepped in. You groaned at the burning cold sticking to your socks. You were just having a great week. The clouds were black with rain and weighing heavy, much like your mood.

Dragging your heels you were stopped in your tracks by the sound of engines.

“Well lookie here? Sweet Pea’ girl? Without her keeper?”

“Go away Rocky” you groaned at the ringleader of the three Ghoulies before you.

“Trouble in Paradise?”

“I heard he finally dumped you, poor little yn yln” another filled Rocky in on the situation. You continued walking with them taunting and trailing behind you. They made your skin crawl and blood boil.

“Why don't you come with us? We can show you a good time”

“I'd rather be skinned alive”

Rocky mounted the footpath on his bike, cutting you off from your tracks and scaring you, the other two circled in closer.

“That can be arranged too” his face was dark much like his intent. Your eyes flew between all three members before you took off back the way you came running, them hot on your heels.

You ran breathlessly down alleys and side streets hoping to shake them but their motorbikes could easily fit.

You ran down a blocked off alley, them breathing down your neck. You jumped on top of the bin before hauling yourself up onto the tall wall and over the other side, landing into another bin. Cutting yourself up and definitely gaining some new bruises.

The Ghoulies shouted before calling one another to circle around. When you heard them leave the alley you climbed back over the wall. After a quick look around you realised they had run you deep into Ghoulie territory and everyone knew about Sweet Pea and you. You were a valuable commodity.

You began pacing up and down before hearing some people talking as they walked up the street. You squished yourself between two bins and there you stayed. The cold, damp floor biting at your thighs.

You smiled at his willingness to help without even knowing the full story. Sweet Pea was loyal to a fault, you had to give him that.

It wasn't long before Sweet Pea came riding up the alley.

“Yn?” He barely whispered as to not alert the surely lurking Ghoulies. They were the first words you've heard from him in a week.

“Sweets!” You clambered out from your hidey hole and ran at him, pulling him in close to you. It had only been a week but you missed the contact dearly.

“How'd you find me so quickly Sweets?”

“I pinged your phone...which I swear I only do when there's emergencies” you smiled smally.

“Come on, being here makes me feel dirty, trust me I'll take care of those three Ghoulies on Monday.” you laughed at him, climbing onto his bike and clinging to his back, as you had done many times before.

Sweet Pea brought you back to his trailer, you left this place with a bad taste in your mouth but it was still somehow like home when you stepped inside. Your parents were away and you were visibly shaken, Sweet Pea simply didn't want to leave you alone.

“You can sleep in my room” he grabbed a pillow from the cabinet and collapsed on the couch. You suddenly remembered that you two were kind of broken up. You nodded slowly and went into his room, climbing into the familiar bed you often found yourself in. The room was more torn up than usual, a few drink bottles littering the floor, the break up had clearly not been easy on him either. However the sheets still smelled of Sweet Pea and you found it quite easy to drift off.

The heavens opened then and the rain felt as if it would come through the tin roof. You swaddled yourself deeper in the sheets, protecting yourself from the eardrum bursting sound.

Then the thunder and lightning started. The lightning found it easy to light the trailer up before plunging it into darkness. The power had gone. You took a deep breath and remembered you were more than safe here than anywhere, then it dawned on you that there was a certain someone who hated storms with a burning passion. An irrational fear he was quiet ashamed about.

“Hey Sweets...”

“Y-yeah yn are you okay?” He quickly replied. Sweet Pea was a proud character and you decided to allow him his pride and play into it.

“Sweets I'm kind of scared can you come here” you buried your lying smirk in the duvet as he bolted in the door and dived into the bed.

“I'll protect you” he wrapped his heavy arms around you and pulled you into his chest. You could hear his heart doing 90 off his ribcage and muffled a smile.

“Oh my hero” you teased.

“Hey it's what boyfr...it's what friends are for”

“Yeah I guess it is what boyfriends are for” he smirked against your hair. Lightning lit up the room again and Sweet Pea’ grip on you tightened to almost bone crushing. You intertwined your legs with his and rubbed his back gently, trying to calm him down. Sweet Pea loved and missed having you this close. He has to say something.

“Yn I don't think you cheated on me”

“I don't think I did either” you grinned and he returned the same.

“I'm serious yn, I have to trust you more and I want to...please give me the opportunity to trust you more”

“I don't know Sweets” your voice was sad and betrayed your heart in favour of your head.

“I can prove I'm being serious about this” he let go of you and you immediately missed his heat. Using his phone flashlight he laced on boots and threw on his Serpent Jacket.

“What are you doing?” You sat up watching him do this in the dim light. He didn't reply.

You followed Sweet Pea and the flash light to the door before he opened it to the storm outside. The wind ripping through the trailer.

“Are you crazy?!”

“About us yeah!”

“Crazy and chessy!”

He winked before running out into the elements.

“Come back inside! You'll catch your death!”

“Do you believe me?!”

“Yes yes! Come on!” Lightning just cracked as he went to moving causing him to practically leap from his skin. He bolted for the trailer and crashed inside. Soaking the place and you.

“Please yn can I be your boyfriend again?” You looked at the drenched Serpent with wind burned cheeks and messy jet black locks. You nodded slowly before smiling. He was a mess, your mess but a mess nevertheless.

Sweet Pea!” You shrieked as he threw his soaked body into yours. The cold sucking you in but you couldn't not laugh. Sweet Peas icy lips met your warmer ones. You both had missed each other dreadfully. Thunder rolled loudly and Sweet Pea jumped.

“Come on Prince Charming, you can protect me better from under the covers” you laughed, dragging your frightened boyfriend by the hand.

Sweet POV.

I never got to be a kid. I was practically out of the womb and into a leather jacket. My childhood was stolen by Serpents, whether or not that was for the best is still up for debate. The only thing I was definite about was my luck in finding yn. She made me feel like a kid. She accepted my glaringly obvious problems. When I went off, which happens a lot, she'd come to me and say that's enough. She knew how to be there for me, calm me down, be my friend and I wanted more.

“Do you think that ginger over there is single?” FPs party was in full swing and yns eye had been caught by the redhead who caught my eye with his fist some time ago. I practically growled at her words.

“Oh I guess he is taken” she laughed at the sight of a girl trying to take the gingers face off with her lips. Northside love is gross.

“Come on yn, let's go this place is dead” too many people wanted to get with yn here for my liking.

“No it's not-” she chuckled “-come on let's dance”

“Oh no no no no” she rolled her eyes, grabbed her drink and made her way to the dancefloor, dragging Toni as she went. I watched the two of them dance as much as I tried not to.

“So are you going to profess your love for yn tonight or…”

“Oh take a hike Fangs”

“Listen dude if you don't someone else will, I might even” he took a step in their direction before I caught his shoulder roughly and dragged him back. Glaring.

“Don't even thi-”

“Relax SP, it was a joke. Looks like Rick isn't joking though” he laughed before drawing my attention to Rick getting awfully close to my yn. Nope. Not happening.

Rick caught in by her hips, her face dropped and she was visibly very uncomfortable. Yn tried to push his hands off her but they were then just replaced quickly again. Ohh I'm going to prison tonight.

I stomped over and jumped between them, pulling Rick off yn. My back to him and eyes on Yn. She gave a nervous laughed and I smiled at her reassuringly.

“Hey brother what the hell?!” I felt his hands on my back as he shoved me, sending me into yn. With my size, yn was easily knocked to the floor, drenching herself in her drink and breaking the glass.

“Argh!”

“Ynn I'm so sorry” I caught her by the hand, her blood mixing on my hand. Toni took it from me to assist our best friend.

“Big.mistake.buddy” I turned my attention to the perpetrator. He's dead meat. I flew at the drunken slob before Fangs could stop me. The both of us rolled around the bar floor, I got on top of him, delivering a few blows to the face. He clipped my jaw in retaliation before whipping out a knife. It was then some seniors stepped in and hauled me off him, not before I got another kick in.

“Yn! Take him home!” Fangs grabbed me from the senior while he went for Rick.

“come on Mike Tyson let's go home” she smiled at me, drying the end of her skirt with a napkin, her hands cut from the glass. The bar continued in it's usual chaos. I trust Fangs and Toni to handle Rick.

We got back to my trailer, practically our trailer, the incident started to take its toll on me. I threw myself down on my battered couch. The fight, the emotions, seeing yn bleed, I was worn to the bone. I watched yn busy herself in the kitchen looking for my probably empty first aid kit. She was so at home here, hell she was here more than I was.

“You're going to need to start paying me for this” she sat down next me with a barely existent first aid kit. She was right, this was too much of a regular occurrence. I took her hands in mine, the blood having dried into her worn hands.

“You should look after yourself first”

“Don't be silly, it's just a few scratches, I've had worse” she has and I hated it it. She rolled her eyes at my concern. I brought her hands to my lips and kissed them gently, looking in her beautiful eyes. YN gave me a gentle smile before slowly slipping her hands from mine again. She wiped her hands on an antiseptic wipe, I saw her wince at the sting, relatable. She pushed my hair back then and inspected the damage. I definitely left Rick worse and I knew her too well to know she was going to give out to me. This could get rough.

“You need to stop getting into fights”

“I know I know, I was just protecting you”

"You don't need to protect me, I'm a big girl, I earned this jacket the same way you did” she took a slightly more serious tone as she opened antiseptic wipes.

“Im sorry yn, it's my job, call my union” that gained a small laugh from her. My favorite sound.

“You should start looking for a new job”

“Never” she bit her lip slightly at me. I just love this girl.

“This is going to hurt” she unfurled the wipe.

“I have to say something to you yn that I couldn't before” my heart reverberated off my ribs like it may burst out, she was so close to me. She then pressed the burning wipe on my broken skin and I winced. Despite how many times she's done this for me I'll never get used to that sting, I think she likes seeing me squirm to be honest.

“Yn you're hurting me”

“Hah, I'm sorry Sweets, I told you it would hurt” she smirked, getting another wipe, the other white one now tainted red forever.

“No yn, I mean you are hurting me”

“What? What have I done? You're the one who pushed me!” She laughed but a pang of guilt ran through me.

“i mean, not being with you is hurting me” I let the words out and she looked from the cut on my chin to my eyes. I couldn't tell if she was scared or shocked. I hoped for the latter.

“Well I bet being with me would hurt more” she almost whispered, going back to my mark. I took her hand from my jawline and laced my fingers through hers. Her free hand went to the side of my face, I pressed my lips to hers and she shuffled closer on her knees. Yn swung a leg over the other side of my lap so she was now straddling me. We reconnected with nothing but passion, until she granted my tongue more access. I dropped her hand and put them both on her hips, her arms wrapping around my shoulders.

“Sweet Pea, I love you”

“I love you YN” I kissed her tenderly.

“But sweets I'll hurt you"

“Well let's hurt tonight”
