sweetpva‌:

sweet pea and fangs had been best mates as long as the taller serpent could remember, so he wasn’t used to him being so serious. surely, the two could be described as a dynamic duo and when fangs got shot lost year, sweet pea was about ready to go hell for him and back, to him, fangs was more than just a fellow gang member to him…he was family. And in the hotheaded Serpent;s book family was something he would fight for no matter what. Though his own biological family was a different story.

‘huh, oh hi fangs, what’s up, bro?’, the male questioned, looking at him with a small grin.

seeing the reaction on fangs face put sweet pea on edge and it made him rather protective. he was scared somebody had done something to upset his friends, and that meant trouble for the person responsible. between the two of them (and toni), fangs was known for being the softer of the trio friends. so, pea was always down to kick somebody’s ass for his best mates. the boy was more of a violence first response rather than talk something out.

‘hey, what’s up? are you okay? do I need to kick some northsider’s ass? ‘

sweets is a reassuring push in the calmness fangs needs before pressing on, nervousness tethering in his expression as he shifts from smiling to straight-faced in a back-and-forth notion. he’s trying to lighten the mood and the other’s growing temper, hoping to avoid a possible explosion onto an unlucky northsider. perhaps fangs is thinking too deeply on the subject; sweets is akin to a brother to him, if fangs were ever lucky enough to have one with such a dangerous presence. but that presence hardly touches the surface towards fangs himself, so why would a question as simple as the one he has in mind have such a damning impact? news flash to fangs: it wouldn’t, but he doesn’t know that yet.

“ no no, it’s not that. i... would’ve let you know if it was. ”

he props himself against the desk across from his giant company and takes a pause, hand scratching against his head before he sighs. it’s better to get the blow over with, isn’t it? he reaches into the pocket his phone is in and opens it quietly, lips pursing before he extends a hand and shows the other’s spotify on his screen.

“ your... account got hacked, right? you’re not listening to this stuff, are you? ”

his voice is hardly accusatory or sad, falling more along the lines of a conversation that wasn’t meant to come off half as serious as it did. he slowly breathes in, dropping his arm back to place his phone back in his pocket so the other can’t pluck it from his grasp.

“ i mean, even if it is... you can tell me anything, you know that right? ”

rvnlodged‌:

“okay fair point, but you know what i mean. juggy and i aren’t that close, yet.. but we’re getting there slowly but surely.”

veronica replies and gives him a small smile as she thinks about her and jughead’s closeness. the two only started hanging out just the two of them very recently, so this was new for veronica. you could say there are some feelings but she won’t let any of the serpents know at least not yet anyways. right now veronica doesn’t seem that close to the serpents to let them know what’s going on in her personal life and her friendship and closeness with jughead. does she like the closeness she’s forming with jughead, absolutely. can’t speak for jughead though. it was nice to sort of show the serpents that she is not like her parents and hopefully fangs would see her as different than how people saw her while working with lodge industries.

“to be fair that wasn’t working for me, that was more so.. well we won’t go into that. i can guarantee that won’t be happening under my watch. i was also going to ask sweet pea, so you won’t be working alone.”

of course with what happened to fangs awhile back, she understands him being cautious about his line of work or what he does when it comes to working with veronica. in her opinion, she feels that she has a good line of guys to work for her with the speakeasy. if it weren’t for the help of cheryl and toni then her speakeasy wouldn’t have gotten the hype that it did.

“just at the speakeasy, keep those unwanted guests from coming in. especially daddy lodge. wouldn’t want him poking his nose in my business, literally. and in payment, i’ll give you and your serpents all the milkshakes and burgers you’d like.”

“ you know what they say: slow and steady wins the race. “

he drops the subject then to avoid pulling any unnecessary strings or, in veronica’s case, any teeth. just because he was their leader didn’t necessarily make fangs and jughead all that close, but business is business and fangs wasn’t the type to refuse an offer. when the offer came from a lodge, however, anyone would be hesitant. he takes a moment longer to assess the person before him and, as usual, comes up empty with the comparisons. a lodge in name, though her behavior never truly matched them. veronica, duplicitous and attempting to bring others down for her own personal goals? unfitting, even with the new york city fashion taste.

“ well then, i appreciate the offer. “

veronica’s body language is harder to decipher than he imagined it would be. her father had a way of making his actions speak louder than words, but it seemed she fell into the same habit... in an extremely different way. her reassurance is appreciated, if only quietly so. fangs, saying thank you out loud to anyone he wasn’t 100% himself with? unheard of, but he smiles to bat away any possibility of a misunderstanding with the lack of a ‘but’ in his previous sentence.

“ i’ll do it. i like that you’re willing to sweeten the deal, but i can eat. hate for pop’s to lose that much business. “

he laughs now, hearty and unpredictable in its wake. her offer is justifiable, with the payment he’s not expecting, but eating on the job would just make him lazy. sweets, however, would probably take the offer up in a heartbeat.

“ anyone else you got in mind to ask? hopefully not our illustrious leader. “

a flower amongst weeds; that’s what bebita looked like surrounded by the serpents. part of her was scared – like she was going to be GANGED UP ON – but the other part, the sensible part, just addressed them as she’d address anyone else. besides, the serpents weren’t known for being very violent, aside from a few.

when he said the word ‘obvious,’ a feeling of self-consciousness overcoming her. a feeling so intense she didn’t even address his question. she gulped a little and pulled the hood of her tie-dyed sweater over her pink locks. bebita usually liked to stand out, but not when it was in a place where she could so easily make a bad name for herself.

“ chocolate ice cream, hershey’s syrup, and mixed in oreo cookies. that’s what that is. i made it myself right before leaving. i hope it’s not too melty! ”

bebita bit her lip again, shuffling her feet on the ground. she didn’t quite know what was keeping her there; maybe it was the change of scenery, or the fact that she noticed the serpent across from her pulling a ten from his pocket.

“ oh, really? that’s so kind! thank you, i’m just here doing my job as a waitress – OH! my name’s bebita! ”

her nervous tick doesn’t go unnoticed; eyes scanning over the momentary panic that ensues in her mind before it dismisses itself with a quiet understanding. fangs, more often than not, forgot how intimidating serpent space was to, well, non-serpents. he doesn’t pay any further attention to detail, if only to avoid unnerving the cotton candy pink girl more. he wonders what toni would look like with such a bright color, but settles on her streaks with an acknowledging nod. not everyone could pull off such bright shades; toni was someone that could, but he doubts he’d get over all the valentine’s day jokes he could make whenever she stood next to her cherry bomb girlfriend.

“ oh, no. i’m sure it’s perfect. i didn’t order it. i just know the person who did. “

he smiles to reassure her and bat away any negativity that could’ve been pulled from his commentary; unnecessary, but blunt as it was - fangs didn’t care for chocolate all that much. his smile grows wider to sway his company to stay a moment longer, her movements itching towards a dart for the door. the whyte wyrm is terrifying if you don’t fit in; standing out only makes it worse.

“ bebita! that’s right. i’ve seen you at pop’s, now that i think about it. “

duh, cues his mind. who else would deliver a milkshake here willingly? only someone under pop’s care. his next words are bold, but his recent medical dilemma and the scene at school prior make it hard for him to see why someone wouldn’t know his name by now.

“ i take it you know my name then given our location. “

serpentstripes‌.

his eyes are scrolling over the app more than once, blinking every so often to make sure he isn’t seeing shit. he’s stone cold sober, right? no doubt about that! …so what’s the explanation for what he’s reading right now?

“ anyone know what the hell red velvet is? “

he feels a smirk crossing his face as he says it, the question barely counting for one with the way its said but he eggs on.

“ think someone might’ve hacked sweets’ spotify account ‘cuz that’s all i’m seeing right now. “

legs are crossed as she leans against the wall of the building , jane’s always been a fan of this time of the year . the temperatures were at her PEAK comfort zone .

“ aren’t they that kpop group that’s giving blackpink a run for their money ? ”

there’s a lollipop in her mouth , but she takes it out to continue her sentence .

“ it’s all the rage over at college . ”

serpentstripes-blog

fangs would recognize the woman that chimes in from a mile away: a certain ( ex ) serpent’s beloved, and a princess in more ways than he can count. she’s propped against the building like she owns it, but fangs doesn’t really want to question if it is. chances are, it might be. northsiders had all the luxury without the fuss.

“ so they say. “

his response hardly comes off as cold, fangs lost in thought as he carelessly plucks the lollipop from her waving hand. there’s a friendliness there that shouldn’t exist, but could one really fault her for being born into this? choices are choices, however, and ignoring that would be foolish. he doesn’t do much to the lollipop beyond take it, eyeing it carefully until he hands it back to avoid her dismay.

“ guess college kids don’t have much taste. “

#( c: jane. )#( i just got done work but i had to respond to jane like fangs should hate her but have you seen her? who can! )#( also sorry for not editing i’m mobile so *throws tomatoes at this app and the staff* )

mickeyxanderson‌:

Mickey had to admit he was a bit confused on what the guy was talking about. “When you mention red velvet all I can think about is the cake.” He admitted before looking over at the list. “I don’t know, but it isn’t a good playlist.”

“ you’re the second person to mention cake to me. “

not that he’s surprised, of course. fangs may not care too much for red velvet cake himself, but the rest of the world would gladly correct him on where his head goes when he thinks of the two words together.

“ but hey, come on. it’s not that bad. i’ve definitely seen worse before. “

isadorapalomo‌:

“get out from under that rock you’ve been living under every once in a while, will ya?”

she says it without any bite, smiling even, and peeks over his arm to see the evidence for herself. it’s a little shocking but not unwarranted. in her books, sweets has got taste. hopefully he listens to the boy groups, too, otherwise this could be some kinda fetish thing and that’s not cute.

“i’m more of a blackpink girl myself but ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little red velvet. it’s k-pop – you should give it a listen.”

“ that rock’s not a bad spot to be, just so ya know. “

he’s smiling the same amount, playing fake hurt off with a raised hand to a supposedly injured heart. he laughs at her next commentary, brows furrowing as he scrolls through and promptly clicks his screen off to avoid pointing that same unabashed interest on his questionable taste. at the mention of a particular band, however, his face perks with a wider smile; talk about being a dead giveaway. might as well bite the bullet, fangs. sweets’ll find out eventually.

“ whoa, whoa. who says i haven’t listened? “

cherylsblsm‌:

there’s no response to the question . she knows he came from a more … unfortunate background than she did , but she didn’t want to acknowledge he didn’t know something as middle class as red velvet – the food , obviously . she’s oblivious to the band . but … the rest of his comment sparked her interest , her hand automatically flying out to snatch the phone from his hand & scroll through their fellow serpents spotify & pressing play . she lets the song play for a few seconds as a smile slowly but surely starting to form . ‘ wow . ’ the word coming out through a small laugh as she forces the phone back into the boys hand . ‘ remind me to follow you guys back . clearly it’s filled with great blackmail material . ’

before he has time to react, the done is gone and done. so he waits, rather patiently, for the device to be returned before he sighs; the last thing fangs needs is more to fear when it comes to his leader’s very own deadeye. he can feel her sarcastic charm practically oozing from her every word and he finds himself laughing despite the position he’s in, eyes rolling briefly before he throws out his opposition.

“ you know it’s kinda weird, queenie. could’ve swore i saw something similar on your spotify history. “

he smiles more fully, shiteating in every way with its appearance.

“ maybe my eyes are going. “

#( c: cheryl. )#( fangs calling cheryl queenie? you bet )#( fangs: calls her cher once - cheryl: do that again and you'll be next in target practice )

tinyscrpent‌:

it was true, tiny was like sweets in a lot of ways; she was on edge all of the time, ready to strike like a LITERAL SNAKE. had she not been nicknamed tiny due to her height, she would most likely have been given a snake-based nickname, much like fangs. but, given her small frame, tiny it was. not that she minded, she’d much rather have people call her tiny rather that PETRA.

at his comment, tiny rolled her eyes again, laughing softly to herself and biting her lip as she awaited an answer. a wide grin spread across her face as he agreed, one that was soon replaced with another smirk.

“ well, a little game of cat and mouse is what i was thinking. after dark, maybe around sweetwater river. ”

she teased, walking with him and latching onto his arm. it was more to keep up with him rather to be clingy; tiny found it rather difficult to keep up with any of the serpents being that a majority of them had at least a foot on her.

“ whattaya say, fangsy? a little hide in seek in the deep, dark, scary woods? ”

her teasing doesn’t go unnoticed, fangs almost half in mind to poke and pry at the girl’s real name but he worries about the backlash of hearing both his own and what would come there after. petra; it runs nicely off the tongue, but given his company’s temper - it’s not something he’s willingly to play with, regardless of how fun it sounds. a punch to the gut of a damaged abdomen doesn’t make it any more appealing, either.

“ sweetwater river at night, huh? “

tiny makes it seem all too exciting, as if the river where jason blossom turned up is any variation of a fun spot. but his hesitation isn’t over location, it’s where tiny’s leading to with the offer. to say she doesn’t have an ulterior motive would be a lie, albeit a pleasant one. he almost fears for the truth, but he doesn’t deter.

“ alright, peanut. count me in. “

her latching onto him practically goes unnoticed, beyond the additional body heat it brings to the table. he keeps her there as long as he can until he gets to a familiar truck, only then moving away to open up the passenger door for her, dramatically bowing with a gesture for her to hop in.

“ might as well kill time at pop’s until then, right? not like you’d leave me stranded until this game you want to play. “

Si una vez dije que te amaba no lo vuelvo hacer Ese error es cosa de ayer

#✖ MUSIC.

withsprinklcs‌:

bebita’s errands took her all over riverdale, but tonight landed her in one southside bar; the whyte wyrm. the pinkette stood out like a sore thumb amongst the serpent jackets, holding a paper bag in her hand and a wrapped straw stuck behind her ear. in her other hand was a milkshake. she was asked by someone to bring it in after her shift, but now felt anxious about being here.

“ red velvet? it’s a kpop group! one of my faves actually. ”

she offered a kind smile, moving closer and setting the meal down on the table.

“ also, uh – you know anyone here who needed a triple cheeseburger from pop’s? i guess whoever ordered it walked out and someone told me i might find them here.. ”

in the whyte wyrm, bubbly rarely fit the bill of anybody that came through it... unless that particular person in question came with a delivery in hand. it’s not exactly something a serpent puts under the instructions: act as cheery as possible when arriving to the whyte wyrm and... have pink hair? the color fit the style but against the often unwelcoming demeanor of the serpents to new faces, she was a sore sight. not unpleasant, as fangs would admit, but different in a few obvious ways.

“ k-pop? sweets listens to that shit too? “

his brows furrow with his confusion but it’s dismissed in the wake of a bag being set before him. his head tilts in a guess, then a lightbulb goes off. probably someone’s order; who, however, wasn’t something fangs was about to guess. first come first serve, right?

“ thanks for the answer, but i don’t have one to offer back. wish i did, but no one really makes their food deliveries obvious unless they’re starving or someone beat them to it. “

the less noble side of him would’ve lied and took the meal, as he intended to, but his appetite wasn’t entirely craving the burger placed before him compared to the milkshake in her hand. he stands from his seat to close the distance, hand plucking both the shake and straw from her frame before he unwraps it and pops it through the opening to take a sip. he grimaces post-sip, tongue sticking out in disagreement as he places it beside the bag on the table.

“ i only know one person that would drink chocolate to that extreme, so i’ll let him know it’s here when he gets in. it shouldn’t be too long. “

he shakes his head again at the flavor, reaching for a half-emptied glass of water to down the taste off his tongue as best as it could. once its gone, he settles back in, gaze returning to pink as offers a welcoming smile and digs out a crumpled ten-dollar bill from his pocket.

“ it’s not much, but for your troubles... but we definitely go to school together, yeah? for some reason, your name’s not coming to mind. “

#( c: bebita. )#( i also winged it but i made this so long i am so sorry )

gladysxjones‌:

“red velvet? isn’t that a kind cake? i guess it could also be cupcakes. i am pretty sure i had a red velvet cookie once.”

gladys looked up from her phone at the male speaking to her, confused as to what he was talking about.

“ see, that’s what i thought too. apparently it’s a band. “

he’s still blindly scrolling through sweets’ recently listened list, finger raising to scratch at his head as he laughed amid a sigh and continued.

“ it’s definitely foreign, right? i mean, red velvet doesn’t sound like any band from the states. we’ve got pretty generic names going on over here. “

#( c: gladys. )#( i'm not sure if fangs would know her? but i can't see why he wouldn't given fp and her split pretty recently so )#( anyway we love snake mom )
