Imagine Sweet Pea having a crush on you.
Anon requested: “could you write something where m!reader is the new kid in riverdale and he's super soft and nice and sweet pea immediately develops a crush on him? and then the serpents tease him about liking someone who's so soft? <3”
.
This takes place roughly before season one.

You huffed as you set the last box down in the hallway. It was a sunny day and the last thing you would have wanted to be doing was carrying heavy boxes into your new home. At least it wasn’t raining.
The front door closed, and your mother walked into the hallway where you stood. After her and your father had divorced, your mother had moved with you to a town called Riverdale. There was an accounting job open that she had jumped on, and the two of you had moved into the southern side of the town.
“Y/n, I just finished calling the school district. They said that all your paperwork cleared and you’ll be ready to start tomorrow.”
“That fast? I thought it’d take longer.” Your mother shrugged and grabbed a box, tearing the tape and beginning to unpack.
“I did too. Anyway, you’ll be attending Southside High. I would gather all your school supplies for tomorrow.” You nodded and went to find the box which held your belongings.

“Look, all I’m saying is that there’s gotta be something going on with the Ghoulies. They’ve been way too quiet.” Fangs rolled his eyes and took a drink of his soda. Toni sat near them, picking at the worn wood of the cafeteria table. Some movement caught her eye, and she looked up to see an unfamiliar kid.
“Guys.” The other serpents ignored her, carrying on with their conversation.
“And what? You want to investigate them? Who are you, Batman?” Sweet Pea snorted and threw a straw at Fangs.
“Maybe I am! You think I can’t be?” Toni frowned and tried again to get their attention.
“Hey guys?”
“You aren’t rich enough to be Batman.”
“Hey! Can I get you to listen for five seconds?” The two boys finally turned their attention to Toni. Sweet Pea has an annoyed look on his face.
“What, Toni?” Toni jerked her head towards the front of the cafeteria.
“Newbie, on your left.” Fangs and Sweet Pea caught sight of the newcomer, looking around with a confused expression. Fangs shook his head.
“Who the hell sends a new kid to Southside High? Do they have a death wish?”
<—>
After a few weeks, y/n had gotten the hang of his new school. The trick was to not stand out, but don’t let people think you were a pushover. Since he wasn’t one for violence, this meant y/n would just have to be stubborn enough for people to get the idea.
People mostly just left y/n alone because they thought he was weird. He wasn’t, it just wasn’t the ‘norm’ for someone in Southside to be nice for no reason. At least he wasn’t getting cornered anymore. Though he did get strange looks from a boy named Sweet Pea in his English class...
“Hey, new kid!” Spoke too soon. Y/n turned to find Sweet Pea himself coming towards him. Deciding to listen to what Sweet Pea has to say, y/n waited until the other boy caught up to him.
“Can I help you?”
“Why?” That was specific.
“Sorry, but I need just a little more to go off of than just ‘why’.”
“Why are you so nice to everyone? What’s your game?” Y/n’s brow furrowed and he adjusted his grip on his bookbag.
“I’m confused. Is there something wrong with being nice?” Sweet Pea shook his head.
“Nobody in this school is a ‘good guy’ just because. There’s always a reason for it.”
“Then I guess my reason is because it’s how I was raised. I have to get going now, but maybe we can talk later.” With that y/n left Sweet Pea in the hall. A few moments later, Toni and Fangs came out of their hiding spot from around the corner.
“Somebody’s got a crush~” Sweet Pea shot a glare at Fangs.
“I do NOT have a crush on him!” Toni laughed and elbowed him.
“Sure you don’t Sweet Pea. And the sky isn’t blue. We’ve seen how you look at him.” The serpent boy scowled and started walking towards the exit.
“Both if you shut it.”
“Just saying dude, if you asked him out he’d probably say yes.”
“Shut it!”
