* @lostpvge / closed starter for ariel.
even though veronica was in a committed relationship and there was nothing about that she wanted to change, she was ultimately still a teenager who enjoyed having fun. sometimes having fun meant ignoring any consequences that might come along with making drunken rash decisions. having a few too many drinks, veronica found herself ignoring the world outside the house party being thrown at cheryl blossom’s house. this meant silencing her phone and ignoring any possible urgent text messages. she found herself wrapped up in a game of seven minutes in heaven much like she had the moment she arrived in sparkwood, fully intending to stand there awkwardly with archie andrews for seven minutes straight. instead, he had decided to make a move on her and she went with it. with a clear mind, it would have never been something she would have considered. when the door to the closet opened, archie was left with smears of her lipstick on his face and neck and the sight earned some wolf whistles. though veronica’s eyes unexpectedly locked with a familiar face, her heart dropping into the pit of her stomach. “--this isn’t what it looks like.” the weakest excuse in the book.
