BETTY HAD ALWAYS ADORED kevin, and from a young age she knew that he deserved a hell of a lot better than the treatment he was getting from other guys. whether it was because they were closeted, or they were just complete.. jerks, betty knew none of his grind’em hookups would ever be good enough for one of her best friends, but it was never her place to get involved, and so she never did; she just stood by to keep him company & allow his rants, because she loved him. she had been near the student center when she noticed him, and made her way over. “ i just asked if you were okay, kev ? ” she offered a smile. “ how long have you been here ? ”
he was happy that his best friend, betty cooper, showed up in the nick of time like always. kevin put his head against the wall, more disappointed than shocked at the umpteenth time this happened. betty has been there for kevin through it all, always being there as a shoulder to cry on. his freshman year was one of the biggest benders of him life because of the freedoms he was granted, and hopefully their sophomore year would welcome new and welcomed beginnings. “ i once again got my hopes and let another boy sweet talk me, only to ghost me in the end.” kevin instinctively smiled, something that he told himself to do in hopes of feeling better - but smiling hardly ever worked. “uhm. whenever beyonce last posted her instagram picture is when i started standing here so...” kevin opened his instagram page to the post. “- about 45 minutes now.” he always tried to avoid betty seeing him this way, mainly because it was a continuing thing. “what brings you to the student center?” kevin said in attempts to change the subject.
“that’d be great, kev.” she was so frazzled she hadn’t even realized who she’d gone up to until she saw his face. hearing him call her ears iconic brought a small but sad smile to josie’s face. kevins spirits always seemed to cheer her up. “yeah. i put them down by that shelf-.” she pointed towards a book case a few feet away. “and turned my head for two seconds to grab my water bottle. when i came back they were gone.” she sighed. “and mel, val and i are meeting after school today. but thank god its just a rehearsal.” josie knew buying new ears was an option but she didn’t want to. the pussycats had all gotten their ears together. it just wouldn’t be the same. “i can’t believe this is happening.”
kevin has claimed himself to be one of josie’s biggest fans and was constantly posting her videos and resharing her content across all platforms. she had her own brand, own style, and absolutely killed it with her singing. he listened to the place she checked, trying to brainstorm places they’d be able to check. he peered over to the shelf and couldn’t see them. thankfully the area wasn’t crowded so they would be easy to spot if they were around them. “i will absolutely go to war with someone if they stole them. i don’t wrestle anymore but there’s always old tricks up my sleeve.” he put his hand on josie’s shoulder, “they’ll turn up, josie. have you tried checking the lost and found downstairs? i thought someone stole my polo sweater and it turns out someone turned them in.” he suggested.
with a sigh she pushed her sketch pad back and stuck her pencil behind her ear. cleopatra was officially blocked. she was supposed to be working on an assignment for her art fantasy class but had resorted to creating random doodles and scrolling through social media. they were on the metamorphosis unit and were required to draw one object morphing into another. she had tried almost everything she could think of and was sure she was stumped. that was until her eyes landed on a boy not too far away from her. that’s it! pretty much all of her brainstorming had included inanimate objects but hadn’t thought about drawing another person. to most asking a complete stranger may have seemed a bit weird but cleo thought it was worth a shot. she took up her bag and her book and walked over to the student. “hey, i’m cleo. i’m an art student and i’ve been looking for a new subject for one of my projects. would you be interested? if you want i could totally pay you back in cookies or mcdonalds or something.”
kevin considered it an act of god that someone approached him, glad that he’d be able to get his mind off being stood up. he extended his hand after putting his phone into his pocket, “kevin keller. pr major and aspiring social media influencer.” part of him hoped that his phone would ring with a bullshit apology involving being caught up in some assignment or oversleeping for something that had been planned 48 hours ago. he did occasionally glance around the area and kevin was being extra. “me? a subject for an art project? do you actually think i’d want to do that?” his demeanor was serious, giving off the tone he wasn’t interested. “-because you’d be correct. i absolutely love the arts. you can pay me back by just following me on instagram, twitter, and unfortunately tik tok. how’s that sound?”
𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐄 : gross
𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐄 : who were you gonna hook up with-
𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐄 : * grease vc * tell me more
KEVIN: so you don’t want the bags of candy i bought you? kool
KEVIN: chandler simpson
KEVIN: we hooked up the first day of move-in. he’s an awful kisser but your boy is desperate
kevin leaned against the wall of the student center, airpods in ear while he waited on a boy he was supposed to meet from grind’em. they’d been talking for a week or so now, and kevin had been pushing to meet and the other boy (who went by scott) agreed to meet kevin in the student center. he didn’t mind someone being late, but when the half hour marked past he finally realized he’d been stood up. kevin and scott exchanged numbers a few days ago and the multiple text he’d been sending were clearly going through. he sighed at the revelation that he’d been ghosted. kevin kept his eyes on his phone, not realizing that someone had been speaking to him. “hmm? sorry, did you need something?”
“if someone is playing some kind of joke, its not funny.” the usually calm and collected pussycat was frantically looking around the room for the item she had lost. how could she have lost them ?? had someone moved them while she wasn’t paying attention? josie didn’t know. all she knew was that her ears were missing and she was three minutes away from having a heart attack. “excuse me.” she strides over to the first person she sees in hopes that they’d be able to relieve her stress. “have you seen a pair of cat ears anywhere? leopard print.”
kevin had been working on an assignment for his intro to social media class, a class where a book explains each social media platform in the most boomer way. the professor of the class prefers book-work to be handwritten and legible because ‘true pr professionals have great handwriting’ according to their teacher. kevin heard a voice that sound in distress, not paying too much attention until he had been approached by josie mccoy. “josie, hey!” his eyes widened when she mentioned her cat ears missing. “i haven’t, but those cat ears are iconic! i’ll help you find them.” kevin put his books in his bag quickly, turning towards josie. “was this the last place you left them?”
(01:01 am) text to betty: hey are you awake? if you are, can you call and act like your my mom yelling at me? just had a really awful hook-up and i want to be as embarrassed as possible so he never talks to me again.
(01:04 am) text to betty: ugh. nevermind he’s crying about his ex and now I feel bad. ill stay
did you just see THOMAS DOHERTY ( cismale ) walking through the streets of riverdale ? no , you couldn’t have because while he looks like them , it’s actually KEVIN KELLER. ( polo sweaters & buttons ups, two boys kissing in the woods, stage lights hitting a standing audience, comic books stacked next to a spider-man mug, a man taking a picture in the best lighting ) remind me so much of them , maybe it’s because they’re CHARISMATIC , OUTGOING, BLUNT & IMPULSIVE, but i don’t know . i do know that they are a age in twenty year old , SOPHOMORE at RIVERDALE UNIVERSITY , if you listen closely , you can definitely hear FLY BY NICKI MINAJ, RIHANNA playing from their DORMROOM. ( percy ! )

background:
- kevin keller was born on march 15 to tom and rachel keller, and completely came as a surprise to the both of them. from a young age his parents wanted kevin to continue the tradition of remaining and military family not knowing that their son was going to break down many barriers.
- as a child, kevin was one of the biggest ‘nerds’ in his classes. he’d beg his parents to take him to the comic book shop, buy him collectibles from tv commercials and online ads, buying new action figures, etc. while most of his classmates were playing sports, kevin would always sit on the sidelines and read.
- kevin was 12 years old when he started to realize he was finding his male classmates more attractive than he did with his female classmates. he was teased by both of his parents that he never had a girlfriend, making the claim that he wasn’t interested in any of the girls (which turned out to be incredibly true). kevin was also bullied for being more overweight than the other kids, and thankfully he had friends like betty cooper to be there for him.
high school;
- kevin came out to the both of his parents when he was 14, and the both of them took it well but were in uncomfortable territory. his mother became the person he spoke with about his attraction, and his father offering as much support as he could but kevin recognized he’d never fully speak to his father about his sexuality.
- kevin officially came out during the summer of his freshman year of high school, and was one of few openly gay kids in the entire town at the time (that he was aware of). he didn’t have his first kiss until that summer at a wrestling camp his father sent him to (something he didn’t stop talking to betty about for months). most people in the town don’t seem to care, but kevin is aware of the deep rooted ignorance that surrounds people his father’s age.
- this ignorance really showed in high school when kevin had been the victim of a terrible prank by the members of the JRROTC team. what started as a supposed walk through the woods ended with kevin being blindfolded and soon kicked by members of his team he called him derogatory and offensive terms. he’d been kicked in the wrong place and ended up tearing his ACL because of a fall. the injury still bothers him to this day, and kevin lied about the situation to keep him out of trouble just saying he fell. it turned him off from the military and even his father questions what happened.
- most of his hook-ups were with men who were in the closet. when kevin started using grind’em, he realized that the town had way more men on the LGBT+ spectrum. kevin was 16 when he began to use the app, still being too insecure to really see how attractive he is. these hook-ups were usually in public places or the other’s house.
- when kevin became a bit more confident in himself, he really started to thrive. he became more interested in fashion and found his love of fashion that gave him the preppy-kevin look. he still kept his love of nerd culture that he doesn’t at all hide, and became interested in pop and modern culture.
- in high school, kevin was very involved in different organizations. he was involved in wrestling, writing articles for the blue and gold, RROTC, and directing the school plays.
present
- Kevin is a sophomore at Riverdale U with plans on moving to New York and working at a Public Relations Firm. Currently he works at the mayor’s office interning under the PR director, hoping to get his foot in the door and also experience the more political side of the town.
- Kevin is also wanting to become an influencer. His is a YouTuber and Twitch streamer with a heavy following while also uploading videos of him singing onto the internet. He has a steady following with hopes of being able to monetize more than the money he is getting.
- Kevin is very out and proud, and even mentors several LGBT+ youth through a program recently started by the university.
- Kevin is currently struggling balancing his work and social life, while also struggling in the dating department. His problems are also coming from working in the mayor’s office during the tensions rising between the northsiders and southsiders. His supervisor has even been giving him a huge workload to take off her. There’s also the issue of him being the person that many people go to, feeling as if he’s trapped at times. And there’s also the issue that he’s still attending school with the people that beat him while he was in high school.
personality;
kevin is an outgoing and charismatic person. he finds passion in a variety of things and tends to always give whatever he’s doing 100 percent. he’s not afraid to speak to anyone or push anyone in the direction he believes is best for him. this is why he is always pushing his best friend, betty cooper, to really go for what she deserves and is constantly standing up for her. he’s very confident in his ability of getting things done, and becomes easily guilty if something goes wrong.
kevin thrives in social environments, and that’s why you can always find him being the life of the party. he never says no to a good time and loves to find pleasure in things. he loves hook-ing up because its always made him feel good, and makes him feel wanted. for most of his life he always watched as his friends were able to sleep around, date easily, etc. while he had to use his sherlock holmes skills just to see if other guys play for his team. it’s why he so easily falls in love with other guys because he used to genuinely believe he’d have to settle.
while kevin isn’t mean, he is a very blunt person. his honesty can come off as harsh in the wrong situation, but kevin is a person who believes in the truth and also doesn’t like being hidden. the one time he dated a closeted person he was more miserable than when he was single. he often speaks before running the thought through his mind and can quickly get defensive if the time arises.
kevin is also very impulsive. this can be shown when he’s willing to hook-up with random guys he meets while going running through fox forest and getting drunk and hooking up with anonymous men. he can quickly fall victim to wanting pleasure or just feeling wanted.
