"
𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭𝓷'𝓽 𝓭𝓮𝓷𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝔂 𝓫𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓬𝓾𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓻𝓸𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰, that his words made her heart race and she wanted nothing more than to just lean into him, to tell him that she loves him too, to really show him that she loves him and help him forget all about what was going on outside of her bedroom. betty smiles, leaning up on her toes to press a kiss to his lips, leaning her forehead against his, " i love you . . . so much, jughead. you have no idea, " she admits, nose brushing against his before sighing softly at the sound of his phone ringing again. for a brief moment she contemplated grabbing it and throwing it out the window. she wanted him to herself, was that too much to ask? the serpents got him most of the time, she just wanted him for tonight. except the moment she saw sweet pea's name on his phone, she knew that he was going to have to leave.
𝓫𝓮𝓽𝓽𝔂 𝓼𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓮𝓭 𝓼𝓸𝓯𝓽𝓵𝔂, she knew that even if he wanted to stay, he was going to leave. there was a war going on, the serpents and the ghoulies just couldn't stop, despite how hard jughead fought to make it happen. however, she wasn't about to just accept this and stay here to wait anymore. pulling away from him, she moved to grab a hairtie, pulling her hair back into a ponytail, " you've gotta go, i get it, " she says softly, making sure her hair is up before looking at him. she knew he was going to fight her on this, but she wasn't backing down and she wasn't going to just stay here, " give me a moment to get changed and i'm coming with you, " oh he wasn't going to like this, but she w as going wherever he was going. she wanted to be with him, she had to be with all of them, the sweet boy she got to see and the serpent king. moving to change quickly, not caring that he was in the room as she pulled on a sweartshirt and jeans, slipping her feet into some trainers, she looked back at him, " and don't argue with me. if you leave me here, i'll just follow you anyway, "
