“Oh, that makes sense. Sounds like there’s a lot built into it for it seeming like a really simple looking game.” Fangs didn’t play video games, but that didn’t keep him from being interested. And he’d learned a lot about some of them from Kevin, he probably would have liked them if they could afford it when he was younger. “Oh boy, well that’ll be a fun while. You’re going to start hearing a lot of unnecessary words from Sweet’s mouth after this. Oh, speaking of Sweets, when I’m not here it looks like I’ll be crashing over at his place, we’re even talking about getting a trailer and being roommates.” He hadn’t exactly explained what his living situation was, but Kevin hadn’t dropped him off at the same place twice whenever he’d give him rides ‘home’, so Fangs assumed it was silently understood that he didn’t have an actual home.

“Cheryl is definitely a character, but she’s not that bad.” If she wasn’t a Serpent and hadn’t helped save Toni, Fangs was sure he wouldn’t say anything nice for her. But she was family now. “Now that’s a fantasy I can get on board with.” Fangs smirked. “Don’t apologize, those kinds of jokes are right up my alley. Lucky for you, morals aside, I’m perfectly legal.” He spoke in a low tone, voice sounding a little rougher. 

He found himself letting out a small laugh at the comment about their studying habits. “I don’t think I’ll ever fully take studying seriously when you’re my tutor, but you kept your promise of not letting me fail. It’s nice that we can do even the boring stuff together, even if we, well, get bored and have to make it more fun.” He quirked an eyebrow and gave a small smile.  “So, small warning, that’s my baby-” In reference to his bike. “so we’ll do a little easy ride- in preferably grass so neither of you get hurt.” 

“McCoy is good people, she took me on as a client while I was in jail. It’s never great to learn about a situation like this, but like you said, at least he’s actually happy in his relationship now. How’s your mom doing?” He usually didn’t talk about anyone’s family details with anyone but Sweets and even that was kept simple, only tidbits of information at a time as to not come off dramatic, but Kevin was much more open which in turn seemed to make Fangs reciprocate. “Of course I care, you don’t have the greatest track history when it comes to dating, huh?” Fangs asked, being pulled back into a kiss. “Southside could use the help.” He admitted when he had the chance. “Really? Uh, yeah-yeah that would be alright. I mean, good, that would be good-nice?” He stumbled over his words and let out a loud breath. “Sorry I uh, guess I don’t know how much he knows about me.. us. Never did the whole dinner with the ‘rents thing.”

Kevin did know that Fangs wasn’t staying in one play consistently, but had been waiting on Fangs to bring it up because he didn’t want to come off as pushy. He felt bad, and had a potential offer that would make Fangs happy. “You do know that you can stay here whenever you want for as long as you want.” His father wouldn’t mind, and at this point he was aware that Fangs was not a bad person. Kevin meant it, and he hoped Fangs realized that. It bothered him that his boyfriend didn’t have a consistent place to stay and Kevin could do something about it. “And if you don’t want to cuddle with me we can put you in a guest room where you can put your stuff. And I mean this Fangs...you always have a place here.” In a brighter outlook, he and Sweet Pea were looking at moving in with one another, he knew that would be great for the both of them. “Just so you know, I can help you all turn this place into the best man-cave.”

“She used to be on my avoid radar but with everything that’s happened she’s become a true friend.” Kevin and Cheryl bonded when his cruising through the woods and again when Carrie the musical was happening. He detected Fangs’ tone and found himself already loving this fantasy on top of his talks of being legal. He returned the tone as he fiddled with the bottom half of Fangs’ shirt and rubbing his hand on bottom half of Fangs’ toned body. “You really have been the hottest guy I’ve been with, babe.” Kevin kissed at Fangs’ neck for a few seconds before backing away, ending it with a kiss on his cheek. “I’m glad you love my fantasies.”

“Don’t give me all the credit. You’re smarter than what you give yourself credit for. You have school smarts and street smarts which is a very compatible and ideal way of thinking.” Kevin was in awe that their entire relationship started to blossom because Kevin agreed to tutor Fangs and couldn’t contain just how much he wanted to hook up with him. “Also, we need to work on math today. If we get through the next chapter without getting naked, I’ll make it very much worth your while.” He winked. “Fine by me. I road with Joaquin a couple times but nothing that was a far distance. I just love the part where I can put on a helmet and hold onto another man.” It was close with wrestling, minus all the human movement. “So am I your baby too?”

“My mom? She’s hanging on. Apparently there’s a man that she’s stationed with that she has had feelings for but knew she had my father..so I think that might happen?” Kevin’s parents were two people he thought he knew but they surprised him, he figured that being surprising was a Keller family trait. “But my mom is strong, even stronger than my dad so I know they’ll make it. It’s just..not the best feeling that I’m probably the reason why they wanted to make something work that wasn’t going to work.” He internalized everything, a trait that has lasted from the time when he was a chubby gay nerd to the hot and tall nerd he was now. Fangs was one of few people that knew that he still had his insecurities. “Honestly, no. But you have been the best and that’s all that matters to me.” Kevin didn’t know how to take Fangs’ reaction. “Hey, you really don’t need to feel pressured if you don’t want to. He just suggested it. My dad doesn’t care if you’re a serpent and he knows that you’re innocent. Attorney McCoy was filling him in on the details regarding your arrest and from the start he knew something was fishy.” Kevin rubbed at Fangs’ knee. “Fangs, really, don’t feel like you have to if you aren’t ready.”

“You grew strawberries just to harvest and give them as gifts? Is that a part of the game or are you just as cute in the game as you are in real life?” Fangs let out a tiny chuckle and grinned. “Though it sounds like there’s something to this game if you get to fight off monsters.” He added. “Sure, but then you’re going to lose me for about two days while I explain to him what Urban Dictionary is and sit through his rabbit hole of searches.” He spoke in an amused tone.

Fangs’ fingers traced along Kevin’s back. “Well good, because you’re quite kissable.” He gave a cheesy grin to his boyfriend and rested back. “It’ll be fun, maybe you and Toni will have more to bond over than cheer.” A funny thought popped into Fang’s mind.“ You should do a pop culture lesson for Sweets and me together. That way I can keep him from leaving, but also see his annoyance.” Honestly, Kevin had been supportive in ways he didn’t anticipate, Fangs wasn’t great at relationships, he usually dated someone for a few weeks and then bounced, but they had bonded in ways he would never have seen for themselves. “Well, I appreciate it. Since coming back I’ve had some support, but you really helped when you didn’t have to.”

Fangs was going to reply, but his lips were preoccupied soon after the other’s comment and all that escaped was a small hum as his hand cupped Kevin’s jaw. “So I hope that means you won’t be too scared to go for a ride.” He commented as they finally parted. “So apparently people don’t make best friends naturally anymore, I see.” He’d been called some of his friends ‘bi guy’ but that was something that came with later revelation, not what they tried to label him from the start. It had to be annoying to be seen from the start as the gay best friend people wanted. 

At the news of Kevin’s parent’s seeming divorce, Fangs sighed and gave him a little squeeze. “That’s rough, but I think you’ve seen what’s going on enough, even if they tried to keep it quiet, that it’s not exactly surprising news. You know, your dad is really lucky you are as kind as you are, noticing his happiness and all, but don’t let it all affect your happiness, I may not be able to relate to it all, but I’ll still be here to talk to if you start feeling other ways.” He lifted Kevin’s chin and gave his boyfriend a short and sweet kiss. “Oh really? You know he’s got a reputation, but I’m liking this family more and more. I’m sure he’ll be happy to be back in uniform.”

“It’s good to build friendships in the game because you get more perks and such and unlock story lines. For some reason I get joy out of pixelated characters being happy.” Kevin sighed. The jargon he spoke about video games was foreign to others and he appreciated Fangs listening and actually engaging with him. “I’ll allow it. There’s so many words that you’ll realize you didn’t need to learn. A lot of them are very sexual too. Several pokemon names have been ruined for me.” 

“Yeah. I think we are all getting along slowly but surely. She’s one of the few vixens besides B and V that aren’t fake. Cheryl too but she has her moments.” Practices were another busy activity that he added to his schedule along with his gossip column and podcast. “I can be professor Kevin. Don’t know if it’s morally right considering I’m sleeping with one of my students - that actually may be a 12 year old fantasy of mine come true. College-aged though, not talking about the Archie situation.” Kevin’s dark humor often slipped out of his mouth and he covered it right after. “Wow...that..was actually really mean I’m really sorry.”  

Kevin didn’t mind helping, he actually enjoyed it because he got to spend a lot of time with Fangs. “Seriously, it helped you and I got to spend time with you so no thanks are needed. You’d do the exact same for me..and tutoring you has been working though I get distracted and have my hand down your pants within 30 minutes.” That was a reference to the first time they were supposed to be studying and the many times after. “I’ve never rode a motorcycle before but I’ll give it a try.” There was also a wonderful photo opportunity to be made that Fangs was going to have to take for him. He chuckled with Fang’s hands over his jaws.

“Yeah I was angry at first but I really saw how happy he was with Attorney McCoy.I honestly thought my dad was like me but on the DL for a while when he was with my mom. But..even my mom noticed it apparently.” It was easy to open up with Fangs, and Kevin practically told him everything. “It’s Riverdale, I guess no one can have a perfect family like we wish.” He shrugged, joking but being serious. “And..thank you for being so supportive and listening to me..it feels good that someone cares that I’m dating.” He looked into Fangs’ eyes, pushing their lips back together when they were finished the first time. “He’s excited about it, he really wants to help out the SouthSide. OH..I actually..forgot to tell you..my dad actually wants us to have dinner together at Pops.Is that okay? I haven’t given him an answer because I wanted to ask you first.”

“Oh yes of course, gosh forbid.” He joked and rolled his eyes. “Still stuck on Stardew Valley?” Fangs grinned as Kevin pulled him in again for another kiss, happily kissing him back, hands settling on his waist. Kevin started talking about himself and Sweets getting along and he gave a tight smile and nodded. “Just.. don’t start out the conversation with a Beyonce reference and you should be fine.” He said with a small laugh, remembering what Sweets told him before.

Fangs moved back on the bed as Kevin rested against him, pressing a small kiss to the top of his head and relaxed back. “If you think I’m awful with all of your references, Sweets is just as bad, if not worse.” He added with a knowing grin. As Kevin mentioned the elephant that was no longer in the room he nodded against the pillows. “Yeah,thanks to your help, it’s nice to be done with them. At least I think I am haven’t had issues so far. But I’ve got a lot of work to do to get my strength back to where it was.” Honestly the worst part of getting shot, aside from the fear was probably the massive inconvenience recovering had been for him. “Finally feeling solid riding my bike again and everything.  How about you though? Anything fun and new? Practice with the Vixens going well?”

Kevin had on a grey shirt with a pair of athletic shorts, deciding that today would be a lazy day for him. “I’m on year 2 in the spring and my strawberries are growing. I spent a bunch of time harvesting them and giving them as gifts. Then I also have been training to fight the monsters in the gave.” The game was complex in a great way that you could farm and you could fight monsters. Kevin embraced Fangs’ grip on his waist, shaking his head at him. “Fine. I’ll tone down on the references. You can tell him that urban dictionary is a thing.” Social media and public references were Kevin’s areas of expertise. Sweet Pea wasn’t all bad, him and Kevin shared the trait of being impulsive but they were on two separate ends of the spectrum.

“Your kisses are becoming my weakness.” Kevin agreed. “If you ever need me to give a Pop Culture 101 Course, just let me know, babe. But hey, I really am excited to hang with your friends.” His own friends were busy with their lives, leaving Kevin to either be hanging out with Fangs or begging his friends for some kind of social interaction. “What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t support you? And we both know you’re dedicated.” It was true, and it’s a big reason why Kevin fell for him. Getting shot affected him in ways that Kevin couldn’t imagine and he wanted to do his part to make sure Fangs realized how great he was and he truly would recover. “You do realize with that bike you turn me on even more.” His head turned to look at him, giving him a kiss for a long duration of time.

“I’ve been good. Vixen practice has been great aside from the girls that love to ask me if I want to be their gay best friend.” He shrugged. “I get to learn about a lot of gossip in school that goes on but I didn’t realize how stereotypical some of the girls are from cheerleaders in movies and shows.” Kevin grabbed Fangs’ free hand, rubbing it lightly. “I think my parents are going to be getting a divorce soon..I thought I’d be sad but..I don’t know my dad seems a lot happier. Their is also talks of a new police division opening up on the South Side according to rumors my dad has been hearing and he’s going to be applying for the job.”

Fangs was finally back on two feet for more than just a day or so at a time and was enjoying finally not worrying about wrecking his bike when he rode it. He spent the night over at Sweet Peas after spending the day over there and told Kevin he’d come by the next day. Fangs had been working out all morning and sending some fun snapchats to Kevin randomly throughout the day and finished off by sending a snap of the outside of Kevin’s house with the text “3…2…1..” as he was walking up to Kevin’s room, since Mr. Keller didn’t seem to be home. 

“You know, leaving the door unlocked is really unsafe.” He joked as he walked in and over to his boyfriend, giving him a kiss. “So we really need to do this movie night with me, you, Sweets and Lil’ Bit soon because he’s really not loving having to share me and it’d be nice if you could come around more and I don’t have to abandon them as much. You’ll never hear the end of it otherwise.” His tone was joking, but there was an underlying truth to it.  

Kevin was on his laptop playing Stardew Valley, a farming game that he’d been playing for months now that he was addicted to. He just managed to get a boyfriend in the game and many hours were spent trying to better his farm and get upgrades for his home. He waited until the day was over in the game to respond back to Fangs on snapchat. Kevin rolled his eyes with Fangs approaching his house, knowing that the door wasn’t locked.

A happy grin shot across his face when Fangs walked into his room, kissing him back as he closed his laptop. “Yeah, but then I’d have to get up while in the middle of gaming.” Kevin teased before giving Fangs another kiss, extending the duration than the first. Fangs was right, Kevin spent most of his time with Fangs and not really leaving the north side much other to drop him off or spend some time at whatever location they’d go to. He nodded. Kevin would be a terrible boyfriend to not hang out with Fangs’ friends. “A movie night sounds like a good idea.’ Sweet Pea would 100 percent try and get some kind of reaction from Kevin, after their last encounter they realize the two had something in common.

Kevin could see that Fangs not using his crutches all the time was doing him good, and he smiled while pulling Fangs onto his bed and laying his head on his chest. “I actually think I’ll be able to get along with Sweet Pea, but only time will tell.” He rubbed at the top of Fangs chest. “And it’s good to see that you’re making progress without your crutches.”

Kevin and Veronica deleted scene from 2x07

“I can’t believe I dated that girl right there in middle school when I thought I may have been bisexual.” Kevin shrugged talking to the person next to him who he hadn’t realized walked away. “We both were really into nerd culture and cosplayed as Finn and Princess Bumblegum. She told me she realized how gay I was when I kept asking her to genderswap to Prince Bumblegum apparently.” Kevin realized the other person may or may not have been laughing, turning a shade of red with the realization that it was a completely person than before.

“Pretty sure he’s already on it.” He chuckled and was a bit curious who Kevin was specifically referring to. It was tough, often, to see that things would be okay when the Serpent’s numbers had dwindled down in the battle against the ghoulies, now they had to fight every day to have even a sliver of their side back from Hiram and those rich, bought out pieces of scum, but he nodded along anyway. He hoped for Kevin’s own sake he wouldn’t worry about his own side of things that much. All in all, the southside would fine it’s way back to being a safe place. Maybe after all he did believe things could be alright. “You should come to one of our movie nights, I can’t promise five star show entertainment, but you could get to see my friends when they are comfortable and just hanging out. Enjoying our side of the fence.” He added, still grinning.

“Mmm, well I’ll happily take those orders.” Fangs traced over Kevin’s fingers as they held hands and he wondered how this was the first time he was acting this way so comfortably. As he said he was supposed to bring flowers, Fangs’ eyes widened slightly before he was being pulled into a kiss. His first thought was shit, following with the thought that Kevin was great at mixed signals, but chuckled and shook his head as the other said he was joking. “You know you’re a bit of a pain, right?” He joked and happily kissed his now boyfriend back. There were labels this time, it was nice. “We really should have, but we have many days and nights to make up for it.” He replied as they parted, the arm he had around Kevin now moved so he could run his fingers through his hair. “You want to rep a Serpent jacket?” He was a little surprised honestly and in some situations it wouldn’t be okay. A snake never sheds their skin, and you sure don’t just pass it off to a non-serpent, but it wasn’t like Kevin was just a random person he’d be letting use it. In some instances he was sure it would be fine. “You know, I have other jackets too if you need to hijack some.”

Kevin had been on the Southside many times, as he would visit Joaquin when he had the chance and other times that he couldn’t count on his fingers. It wasn’t a place he was afraid to go unlike the other citizens of Riverdale. The only person he knew he’d potentially butt heads with was Sweet Pea, but he wasn’t bad at all just intimidating and Kevin could never balance if the Serpent was being serious or not. “I’m down. There may be a lot of snide remarks made but what else is new.” Kevin smiled. “I don’t care what we do as long as we hang out.”

The flowers bit had Fangs worried, Kevin could see it in his eyes. Not many people could deal with Kevin’s personality that involved being overdramatic and acting extra, but Fangs carefree personality was perfect because he knew Kevin well enough. Kevin couldn’t date someone similar to himself because he’d ended up murdering himself or drive himself into staying with the crazy religious nuns. “Excuse me?” He said, faking an angry face for a few moments. “Well, take some tylenol because you’re stuck with this pain.” The boy was prepared for the days ahead, hoping that Riverdale would lift it’s curse on potentially lasting relationships in this town. Kevin’s hair was just as iconic as Betty’s ponytail, and only a select group of people could even touch it, and now Fangs was on that list. “I honestly just want to be the basic boyfriend that wears their boyfriend’s jacket.” He shrugged. “-but i’m glad you know exactly what i’m doing.” Rather than completely break their physical touching, Kevin used his left arm to grab where he’d put the food prepared earlier. “We should probably eat this really quick and then we can head back to my place.” He handed Fangs’ a sandwich. “And..I can’t forget about...” Pulling out his phone from his pocket, Kevin quickly took a snapchat of him and Fangs. “You’re adorable, you know that?”

“Our television show would be called Nightmare in Riverdale probably.” Sometimes it really felt like their town was a nightmare, what town had a serial killer that pops up after a random kid shows up dead after being shot by his father, then of course there were the gangs and kids starting their own ‘kill the BH’ groups. It was like their town was a poorly written tragedy as is. Fangs had a goofy little grin as he looked back at Kevin. “Well that’s because I don’t want to be an asshole to you. I have a select group that I’m fine with.” The Serpents in general he was cool to, he was a joking asshole with his best friends and he was still finding out what he was like around Kevin. So far he liked the person he was when they were together.

Fangs kept an arm around Kevin as they laid back and held his other hand in his free one, giving it a small squeeze. “I don’t mind it, so long as you don’t mind me not understanding your references.” He joked. “Plus, bossy can be good, at least you know what you like and what you want. Makes it easier for me.” Fangs had dated a few girls who were very iffy about what they wanted and really wanted to make him work for it, but his childlike mentality often wasn’t suited to offer them the kind of relationship they wanted. As Kevin spoke he angled his head so he could look at him a bit more directly, smiling back even though they seemed to be dancing around just saying it. “So, is this where I ask you to be my boyfriend? Or is this a little too fast?” Relationships around here seemed to start in an instant and their chemistry certainly had, so maybe this was fine.

“Don’t tell Jughead, he’ll make a book adaption.” Kevin rolled his eyes, knowing that a television show about Riverdale would push him to the side. On the brighter side, Archie would be shirtless all the time because that’s what shows love to broadcast. He was teasing, but deep down knew it would be the truth. “At least there’s people to show us that there are reasons to believe things will be alright?” Kevin responded, smiling cheek to cheek at Fangs’ goofy grin. “I’m thankful to be on the “Fangs’ good side crowd, it’s a sweet and very goofy side of the fence.” A lot of the Serpents seemed to be that way, having a tougher exterior and an interior that make them some of the nicest people that take care of their own more than people Kevin has grown up with.

As their hands interlocked, Kevin rubbed the inside of Fangs’ hand with his thumb. something about touching always made Kevin feel at ease - and even moreso with Fangs right now. “Yeah, I’m very upfront. Like I’ll tell you when I want pizza or just want to see you. Naked or clothed.” Kevin grew up with parents who didn’t understand his lifestyle because it was new to them, and just telling them who he was, how he was, and everything between the lines made it a learning experience for them and what Kevin was going through. They were face to face, signaling a shift in tone. He looked into the hues of Fangs’ eyes and smiled. “I think you were supposed to bring flowers?” Kevin joked like he was being serious before kissing Fangs’ on the lip for several moments before breaking away. “Kidding.  Let’s make this official.” This time he really kissed Fangs, placing his hand on the side of Fang’s cheek that was facing the sky.  “We really should have stayed in bed.” He mumbled, putting his forehead against his now boyfriend. “Wait, does this mean I get to wear your jacket when I’m cold?” He teased, but being serious if Fangs would allow it.

Fangs nodded and gave Kevin a small smile. “I don’t have a lot of hobbies, but I like to work on my bike and watch shitty movies with Toni and Sweet Pea. We do movie marathons of the crappiest horror movies we can find and go ghost hunting sometimes.” He added with a small chuckle, remembering all their stupid night together, often drunk and full of random laughter. 

“WoooOow.” Fangs responded with an amused tone, aware that he didn’t always come across the most straight. He was told to uncross his legs when he sat or not be so touchy by some, but he was going to act however he wanted. “I like who I like, it doesn’t concern me what anyone else thinks.” He rested his free hand back behind him so he could support himself as he turned his head up to soak in the sun. “Definitely worth it.” He hummed out.

“I always wonder if it’s just our town that is this screwed up or if it’s going to be like this anywhere we go.” He wasn’t sure that he wanted to stay in Riverdale, an escape from the chaos was what he often wanted, but his family was here and that would be the one thing he never wanted to leave. “When you’re caring people walk all over you, I’d rather not give them the chance. Honestly, I’m an asshole most of the time.” He admitted with a small chuckle and looked back to Kevin just in time to be kissed on the cheek, causing a happier, more genuine smile to tug on his lips. 

“You’re pretty caring too, a perfect mix of bossy with a soft side.” He moved to lay back on the blanket, legs crossing in front of him and Kevin still tucked into his side. “So how many dates until we’re not just dating.” His words came out a bit cautiously, not knowing if he should ask, but also curious and willing to put it out there. Which of their times together even counted as dates? He didn’t know at all where they stood, but he knew currently, cuddled up on a picnic, that despite this being far from his usual, he enjoyed where they were going.

“I’d imagine small towns are all problematic. Most television shows use them because everyone is literally connected in some way due to the size being small.” Kevin believed that Jason Blossom’s death was the smoking gun that triggered everything, digging up secrets from long ago and bringing many things to light. Hiram Lodge’s decision to move back to Riverdale brought Veronica along with other dealings going on. “But there’s definitely something different about this place - that’s for sure.” Their town was stuck in a decade far from the world around them. He shrugged, “-that’s our lives now though.” He was only a junior, and he couldn’t imagine what else could happen this year. “You, an asshole? Can’t say I’ve seen that side of you.” Kevin’s hand moved to rub at Fangs’ side, giving him a smile from his shoulder. 

Kevin followed Fangs’ lead and moved from his shoulder to the upper part of his chest, hand grazing against Fang’s arm. “Thank you for being willing to deal with the extra that is Kevin Keller. I can be a total Mariah Carey at times.” He was full aware of how he acted, but it came from years of defending himself and love of everything that was not what other’s liked. The question made him smile. It was a step in the right direction, and Kevin wanted to keep it moving forward. “Well considering we both like one another, like hanging out, and can’t keep our hands off one another. And I..do want us to be more..” Kevin wasn’t the best at these conversations because it only happened once before. 

[kellerwithkindness-blog]

pea-serpent:

Sweet pea scoffed. Kevin did have a point, Sweet pea didn’t know much guys who were out and just happened to have his best friend be one of them which he sure had to stand up for Fangs more than once because of it. “Guess you got slim pickings. But you at least get the best boys around to pick from. There is no better than my boy Fangs.” He stated proudly to admit that about his friend. There was a moment he felt a bit of fire flickering in his gut when he was called sweet. He might have been showing it off to Toni more but the last thing he needed was some Northsider to now start seeing him as a softy. And with very little force; still keeping his head that he was only going to give Kevin a shake and nothing more he stepped forward slapping his heavy hand on Kevin’s shoulder. A more serious look on his face. “Look. I get you are far from a threat to me but I swear to god if I even think Fangs is the least bit upset and you are the reason why I will fucking hunt you down and turn your preppy little face into dirt.You will make sure that his heart isn’t the first one you break. And don’t call me sweet again unless you are saying my name.” Just like that he stepped back. He cleared his throat and looked around. “Start walking.” He said looking forward. “Fangs didn’t really get too into what you guys really are. Like dating or not?” He asked curious as he walked next to kevin. 

“You’re not wrong.” Kevin agreed, scratching the back of his head. This conversation was just as unpredictable as Kanye’s words. There was this stumble while reaching for the right thing to say. Sweet Pea and Kevin had one or two common connections he could think of right now with one being Fang’s and another agreeing that Reggie was hot-headed. His heart practically skipped a beat when the tone shifted from Hamilton Act one to Act Two with the intensity raising with Sweet Pea putting his hand on his shoulder and voice raising. “As intimidating as you are. I’m not a heart-breaker, alright? Also, you have the same tone-switch as Piper Chapman. It’s 100 percent a compliment because I wish I was able to do that.” The words slipped out of his mouth, and he chose to nod along rather than argue about what he said. “Noted. Won’t happen again..” He assured the male, clearly still slightly shaken from the oddly sweetly  made threat. Kevin listened, and began walking. “Don’t really know, we haven’t spoken about it. There’s not really any labels right now.  I don’t want to mess this up so I’m waiting until the right time.”

“Huh, maybe you could show me sometime.” Not that he figured he’d know what anyone in these chats were talking about, but if it was something Kevin liked to do then he’d entertain it. “No, don’t stop, it’s hot.” Fangs immediately piped up, shaking his head. He found himself shaking his head again as Kevin rubbed his lap, thinking they may as well have stayed in bed all day. 

“You’re the most comfortably out man here in Riverdale, I like that. I never felt the need to make a point of my sexuality, most people just typically assume I’m straight.” Hooking up with Midge really helped everyone believe that. “We definitely came about in an odd way.” He joked, referring to their date which started as studying and turned into no studying at all. 

 “So this is more like your quiet place? Escape from reality?” He asked, understanding why as he looked around. It was peaceful here, very quiet with the exception of a few birds. He moved an arm around Kevin’s shoulders and thought about the question for a moment. “I used to come here to think, I’d bring my mom sometimes and then she pretty quickly lost her memory and it became a hassle more than anything. Now I usually just go to Sweet Pea’s. I don’t typically need a lot of silence when I can just talk it out with him.” He admitted, voice low. It wasn’t like he had his own place to hide out and the Southside was pretty much crap, especially after the ghoulies took over. The Northside never really felt right, it always felt more like he wasn’t wanted anywhere he went.

“If you really want to, I totally can. Maybe you could show me some of the things you’re interested in?” Kevin rarely ventured out of his own interests because fear of losing and making a fool out of himself. “Good, because I can’t keep in what needs to be said.” Kevin continued to rub his leg, mostly because it felt good and he wanted to keep his hands busy. He was well aware that staying in bed would have meant several more rounds and either way his day was going to be amazing.

“I’m glad you aren’t straight. If you were, you hide it very well.” He teased. “Your sexuality isn’t a part of you so you don’t have to tell anyone. It’s attraction. Doesn’t have to be defined.” Kevin was more than his sexuality but it was still a reason why he was the man he is today. There also seems to be more tolerance with attraction within the Southside in comparison to the North Side whereas many guys felt the need to be in the closet even at his own school. “Odd, but hot and completely worth it.” Kevin was getting to know Fangs more and more and wished that they had this kind of time before.

“Pretty much. With all the noise in Riverdale it’s good to have a quiet place.” The Black Hood made it hard to go anywhere alone but Kevin was known for taking risk. Listening to Fang’s talk about his mom was a huge piece of his backstory that Kevin didn’t know. “It’s good you have someone you can talk to. You’re a lot more caring than people realize.” He gave Fangs a smile, kissing him on the cheek and then scooting as close as he could. “If you ever need a place to go. You’re free to come over. I’m always here to talk. Especially for you, Fangs.”

 The two dogs hadn’t been Sweet pea’s concern he just wanted to hear from Kevin what was going on with his best friend. And he was bored enough to shake up at least someone and still have good intentions from it. “Did I say I have to talk to you another time, Keller? You can get your dogs home but I’m here now and this is when I’m going to talk to you. He rose a brow. “So, I’ve been told you and my boy Fangs have a thing. What you got some weird kink for leather or do you just like us Southsiders that much?” He asked obviously referring to the past relationship with Joaquin.. which he still didn’t know how well that was being taken. Sweet pea was only messing with Kevin but still, he made it only as intimidating as is he were going to fight him. “So, What is it with you and Fangs, huh? You like him as much as he says he likes you?” He knew how Fangs had felt but not Kevin. 

Sweet Pea had the persistence of a thousand men, and Kevin knew he wasn’t going to get out of this one. He knew this was going to be about Fangs, and the boy was presumably being a good friend. “You didn’t, no. I guess I can keep them out longer.” The two of them were not paying attention to Kevin at all so this conversation could go on longer if it needed to. “Well, the only guys that aren’t closeted and treat me like I’m another body have been Serpents.” It was the truth, and regardless of whether Sweet Pea was being serious the question was one Kevin thought of and came to that realization. Kevin smiled. “You know, you come off as aggressive but it’s sweet what you’re doing.” He stopped for a moment. “Short answer: Yes, I like Fangs. And no I’m not going to do anything stupid. There’s a lot of things Kevin Keller is but I’ve never broken someone’s heart.”

“Oh, so what kind of games do you follow? Or is it like franchises? Is that what you call them? I don’t know a lot about that world.”  Just because he didn’t know didn’t mean he wasn’t interested in listening and possibly learning something new. Sure, Kevin was a lot different in Fangs in most aspects, but whenever he heard that tone, the same one he had when asking about comics, Fangs knew it was something the other was quite passionate about. Who was he to not at least hear him out? See if he could contribute to that conversation at all. Who knows, maybe it would become a mutual interest. 

“Most of the time.” Fangs gave Kevin a slightly smug look that turned to a chuckle. “If you think so, I won’t complain. The view from here is pretty hot too.” He complimented and let out a small groan as Kevin moved out of his arms. “I know I said we should go, but you were such a nice heat source.” He gave a grin and sat upright finally, hand running through his hair. “Oh, god, please don’t.”

A small laugh escaped smiling lips and Fangs stood up, trying to hide how unsteady he was first thing in the morning. He used the bed to help him move over to grab his shirt that was tossed across the room and collected his crutches. He wasn’t sore today, so after getting his muscles a little more warmed up, he knew he could abandon the crutches. 

He tried to remain hidden, always worried that Kevin’s dad was going to pop up out of the basement and lose it on him being there, but luckily it never happened. He gladly kissed Kevin back for a couple short moments before looking towards the house, still waiting for Mr. Keller to be headed towards them. “Oh I could tell, your little whimpers were a great motivation.” He smirked and leaned over to kiss Kevin at a stop sign, grinning when he finally sat back in the passenger seat, deciding not to be too terribly distracting of a guest since they were going to have their privacy at the river. “I know some might say we jumped into this a little fast, but I have a lot of fun with you. And not just dirty fun.” He added. 

Once they parked he got out of the truck and ditched his crutches, moving to help Kevin lay out a blanket and grabbed the backpack with food and water and put it on the edge of the blanket before sitting down and patting next to him. “It’s a shame no one wants to come here anymore. How often have you come out here? You know the perfect spot.”

“Franchises mostly. I’m most active on the D&- dungeons and dragons forums.” Kevin played the game online as the Riverdale community wasn’t too large for it. The people Kevin used to be friend’s with were no longer his friends because it took up too much time and he was not trying to be a nerd full-time anymore. Plans of having Fangs in his bed more were in the future as long as the other was okay with it. They would have more time so he wasn’t too upset about them not staying in bed longer.

Kevin could quickly change the tone of the conversation from innocent talks of appearance to sexual encounters. Fangs seemed to be the exact same way, and Kevin loved it because it made other guys uncomfortable or saving it for bed room talk. “If you don’t like it I can stop next time.” He teased, trying to give a clear notion that Kevin wanted a next time if it wasn’t already clear before. Kevin smiled while kissing Fangs at the stop sign, lightly moving his hand to rub Fang’s lap. “Coming out made me realize that caring what people think only makes it harder for yourself - who cares. I have fun with you too. Pop’s was fun and one of the better dates I’ve been on.” There still wasn’t any labels between the two, but they had fun and enjoyed being around one another.

Kevin was slightly concerned that Fangs ditched his crutches to help but he seemed to be alright. He sat on the patted spot, looking out to the river in front of them. “I have periods where I’ll come for days and then where I don’t come at all. Just depends on what’s going on in my life.” He put his head on Fang’s shoulder, extending his long legs in front of him. The last time he came he spent several hours, contemplating how to feel and go about finding his father had been sleeping with then-mayor McCoy.  “Do you have a place like this? Where you go just to think?” He did want to know more about Fangs, and maybe small details would help rather than going for deep conversations.

Sweet pea hadn’t been on a hunt for Kevin and he didn’t want talking to him to be a planned thing. He wanted it to be as random as possible, shake the kid up and question him as much as he could about what he had going with Fangs. It wouldn’t be the best friend thing to do if he didn’t shake up anyone Fangs got in a relationship with. Poor Fangs wasn’t getting the chance to embarrass Sweet pea since he was dating their best friend. But seeing Keller at random he grinned. “Keller!” He yelled in a low tone; one that played anger and aggravation. “You got something coming for you! We need to talk, kid.” He called practically stampeding the other boy.

Kevin was walking the both of his dogs, needing to get out of the house for several hours after spending his day doing absolutely nothing. The day was a boring one, but he wasn’t complaining. Barry was sniffing the grass while Bruce was rolling around on the side-walk. Their leashes were retractable and they were finally learning that they couldn’t run as far as they wanted to. In the distance he could hear his voice being heard, and he recognized it quickly enough. Kevin tried to keep walking like he couldn’t hear, but Sweet Pea was walking his direction and the tone wasn’t one that Kevin enjoyed.There was fear because most of their interactions were negative and the fact that Kevin was talking to Fangs. “You know, I have to get these two back home. Is there another time?” Kevin didn’t hate Sweet Pea or dislike him, there was just slight fear along with not enjoying being unprepared.

“Mmm, I think sleeping in has more to do with this bed than present company, buuut..” Fangs said jokingly, hand coming up to rub the sleep out of his eyes as he did so, but moved in to kiss Kevin once more before he had time to take offense. As Kevin cuddled into him he moved an arm around his waist and let out one more little yawn. “But seriously, this bed is great.” 

He looked at Kevin with curiosity. “Gaming forums?” He wasn’t all that familiar with most things online, having usually spent his time taking care of his mother, too busy to burn time on anything else and once her care was in his uncle’s hands, he was out with friends or working. Fangs gave him a happy smile as their plans for the day were made and he made a mental note to make sure he saw Sweets and Toni either later that night or some time during the next day, so he wasn’t just abandoning his friends for.. whatever they were doing. There weren’t any labels at this point. 

The hand that was on Kevin moved to stop him from tugging down the blanket, but he was too late and too aware of his scar. “Mmm, hardly in shape anymore.” Which was sort of a lie, but he definitely wasn’t in top shape which he was already trying to work back towards and would be able to put real focus into as soon as he was out of those crutches. “Plus-” The scar. He didn’t want to mention it though so he just shrugged, quickly dropping what he started and kissed Kevin’s head. “We should probably go now while it’s nice and warm out.” 

“You’re sweet.” Kevin never had another guy comment on how comfortable his bed was, but it was a good compliment. The constant kissing was great, and Kevin’s eyes were still adjusting to the light around him. Fangs did have a side to him that he felt like no one else saw, and he was enjoying it. “Thank you. Feel free to get used to how comfortable it is because you can join me whenever.” His voice was serious, and Kevin hated being alone. It’s why he’s hooked up with as many guys as he had along with the insecurities he held.

“Yeah. It’s a place where people can talk about gaming things. Theories, gameplay, bugs, life discussions, character ships, etc.” He was clearly excited to talk about the side of him that came out easily. He’d been on Reddit for years browsing forums and connecting with people online. The internet was how Kevin lived because it allowed him to see life outside of Riverdale. Fangs may not have known was he was talking about but he was glad that he was listening. 

Kevin saw Fang’s scar and instantly flashed to the night where he’d been shot. Every hair on Kevin’s body stood tall that night knowing that he contributed to a small event that led up to a big one. “I meant it when I said that every part of you is hot. And I’m right most of the time.” Kevin knew that Fang’s wasn’t as much of a sharer as him about how he felt, and thankfully he was patient. “You’re right we should get going.”

He left Fang’s arms and started to go through his drawer for clothing. Kevin was going to wear his usual button-up and khaki pants. He had a red sweater he hadn’t worn in a while. “Your bed hair is cute, by the way. Should I tell people how adorable you are because it’s the absolute truth.” Kevin waited until Fangs was ready and began the walk down the stairs. He could hear his father lifting weights downstairs and shouted to his dad that he was borrowing his truck again.

Kevin quickly made a few sandwiches in the kitchen and grabbed several waters before leaving. He gave Fang’s another kiss on the mouth before getting into the truck and right after he started driving the familiar path to his spot near Sweetwater River. “Now that I’m out of the house. I have to say. It’s hard to keep quiet when we were hooking up last night. That’s a skill that many guys haven’t been able to do with me..”

Fangs hadn’t slept in a bed in honestly too long, couch surfing usually meant what it sounded like, sleeping on someone’s couch. Sometimes the floor. Honestly he took whatever he could get. When he woke up, all Fangs could think was he’d be fine just going back to sleep forever, especially with the nice heat source that was planted next to him. 

He opened his eyes with a content smile on his face and returned Kevin’s kiss before rolling more into Kevin’s body, mumbling an “If I can, yeah.” and resting there for a moment before he let out a little yawn again and rolled back over to the other side of the bed. “Especially after a nice little workout.” He hummed out in a still sleepy tone and tugged the sheet over his lover torso, quickly remembering the scar on his abdomen. “When did you wake up?” He asked, wondering if Kevin was just letting him sleep in, but had been up for a few hours. 

“Whatcha’ readin’?” He asked, sounding slightly more awake as he saw a ton of words on Kevin’s phone which lead him to believe he was off googling something or similar. Fangs tucked his hands behind his head and kept his face turned towards the other. “Did you have any plans for today? Maybe we could head to Sweetwater later on today if you’re not needing your personal space back yet.”

“Workout, huh?” He chuckled, eyes looking at the ceiling while going over every detail of yesterday. It sounded like Fangs was still tired, and that either meant he didn’t usually get sleep or he was just not a morning person. No matter what time he went to sleep, Kevin had always been used to waking up early. Gaming sessions went late when his day started early, and his body had just adjusted to not getting as much sleep on certain occasions. “Not too much before you, I didn’t want to bother you. I know how good I can be, sometimes rest is needed.” Hints of pride was in his town, but he knew the extent of his sexual abilities.  Kevin winked at Fangs before moving back over to him. He was a big cuddler with attention playing a part.

“Browing gaming forums. Nerd stuff that I can’t break out of.” Kevin put his phone back on the spot where it had been charging, giving his attention to Fangs. “I have plans now.” He said, giving Fangs a smile from cheek to cheek. Cooking was the original plan, but a pizza sounded better and with less effort. “You can’t escape from me that easy, Fangs.” The boy teased the Serpent once more. Kevin removed the blanket from Fangs upper body, running his finger along his chest. “If I knew you had the body you did, I would have gotten you to take off your clothes sooner.” People didn’t realize that Kevin could switch perfectly from one extreme to another, balancing them perfectly.

“That’s why you should play for both sides.  You’d have a lot more options to chose from,” Toni grinned. She made it seem so light-hearted being able to date both girls and boys, but honestly it only complicated things. Whoever she dated thought they had to worry about every single person that she talked to even if Toni tended to lean more towards girls, she had to listen to the worries and the jealously. It got pretty tiring if Toni was being honest. “You know Fangs can’t keep a secret and is just gonna tell me everything right? I’d much rather have your story so I can have all the pieces if he tries to ask me for advice.”

Toni nodded, “Yeah, I heard it on your little podcast thing with Josie. Seems like you’re the real crime junkie not me and Jones.” She leaned back, crossing her arms just looking Kevin over. “That’s because everyone who’s raised here stays here. The population doesn’t really shift if no one leaves. I don’t know what you’re so worried for, most people still don’t realize that the Black Hood murders and Jason’s were of Northsiders doing and not the Serpents,” Toni spoke, the annoyance clear in her tone. It wasn’t directed towards Kevin, or truly anyone for that matter, she just felt it needed to be said. “ Seems like your dad is just a regular ol’ spy, but you’ve got a point. Information is the easiest way into anything; however usually I know everything so I don’t know the feeling.”

“Secrets don’t make friends, Keller,” Toni spoke in a singsong manner. Instead if she wasn’t going to get the Fangs information out of him, she figured a change in direction might make him speak more on that topic to avoid the new topic. “You know Joaquin’s back; for good. Actually going to see him after this little gush session. Did you call to welcome him back yet?”

Kevin perked up immediately hearing about him and Josie’s podcast, not expecting her to bring it up in conversation. “Everything that happens in this town is just like some television show. No matter how hard we try to avoid getting thrown in the drama, it manages to find us.” The Black Hood business was supposed to be the end of the dark cloud over their town, but it had the opposite effect as Archie was thrown in jail and the shady dealings were continuing. “People only see the northside and southside titles when it’s convenient for them sadly and not when it’s the opposite.” He shrugged the way she saw it. “Yeah, but at the moment he’s doing everything in his power to help Mr. Andrews. Archie being away has had an effect that people didn’t see.” Jughead, Ronnie, and Betty were all taking it hard and Kevin didn’t think they all deserved what was going on with each of the negative events concurrently going on in their lives.

“We kissed, and then some.” They went on a date afterwards and spent several hours with one another. Kevin didn’t think Fangs had it in him to keep up with him, and he proved him wrong. He wasn’t embarrassed to say it, and again, she’d find out anyway. “Yeah..I ran into him the other day at Pop’s.” It was a shocker to him, and there was still a place in his heart for Joaquin but even he’s had time to mostly get over it. “My romantic chapter with Joaquin is complicated but I’m way more interested in Fangs right now.” He was being truthful, and the look on his face showed it. “Him being back did throw me for a loop though. I just came in for a corn dog and got that and more.”
