( something to ring the devil’s doorbell to , actually , but THAT’S a thought she won’t verbalise . ) ❝ how does RAVIOLI sound for dinner tonight ?? ❞ because nothing solves delusions of romance like pasta , obviously .

AND THE THING IS , SHE’S MISSED HIM. won’t admit to it , never would but it’s hard , so fucking hard to detach / he’s seen the best and the worst , unfortunate in both extremes and there’s a BOND that comes from that. god knows she’s mulled it over enough , mentally manipulated ins and outs and in - betweens of a relationship that’s felt DOOMED FROM THE DAY it began and even now , five years down the track , nerves lace up her throat / overstretched fretboard , that’s what she feels like. overwrought , tense and JUMPY ; someone dares to open the door and entire being quivers , shakes in its rooted place. ( WHY DID SHE CALL HIM ??? still ponders it now , when she’s glaring into innocuous , but slightly chipped mug. fingers could’ve missed his name altogether , could have called veronica or POLLY but it’s him , him she murmurs to. doesn’t even realise the quiet revelations that go unspoken , the ones of missing puzzle pieces and what am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you except that she won’t acknowledge that one. ) fingers , stained in blue and black and droves of neon , dig into palms --- old habits die hard , they say , but betty won’t realise how DEEP crescent shapes concave until hues raise to familiar face , and oh fuck , this isn’t how this meant to go. ❝ um. ❞ ( didn’t even THINK about what familiarity might reduce her to / feels like she’s SIXTEEN again , except minus literally everything she did when she was sixteen and stupid. ) ❝ hey , jug. i , uh. god , wow --- wow , i’m very literate today. ❞

RE. / JONES , JELLYBEAN.
“i mean… c’mon - have any of us taken that song seriously in the last ten years?” jellybean sure HADN’T - and she’d been a spotty faced kid right around the start of when she was talking. the truth was, betty was one of few people far and between who couldn’t give a wrong answer. she wasn’t ASKING because there was a right one, and she wanted to find it - she was asking cause the older girl looked as if she needed to mentally check out for a hot minute, and if there was one thing that jb was good at, it was finding a distraction. this wasn’t exactly the hello she’d been planning on giving the brunette across from her ( long limbs having clumsily folded into the chair across from her right around the time she’d chosen to look up ), but… well, it’d DO, and jellybean didn’t struggle to keep her grin toothy. “oh my god-” over acting her sheer horror at the anecdote, if jb seemed more than a little #shooketh by it, that’d be cause… she was. “i did not think that your mom had that LITTLE taste. i mean, sure, it’s got that whole ‘ i’ll love you ‘til death do we part ‘ vibe, but i’m pretty sure it was the go to first dance song choice from years 1991 to 1996.” yeah. each of the jones’ had their things. jughead’s was that goddamn beanie - and jellybean’s, it seemed, was being a music SNOB. “you win all the points, betty cooper. those are some truly awful jukebox tracks. how would you feel ‘bout a peppermint hot choc on the house - for your prize, that is?”
❝ MM , YOU’RE RIGHT. ❞ closes her notebook ( poor , tattered thing it is ; used to within an inch of its natural life , the spirals are coming undone and post - it marked pages begin to shed like leaves in autumn but she’s NOT giving up on it yet ) and offers other a devilish grin. ❝ oh my god is the correct answer. i swear , it’s traumatic --- mom dragged it out the other day and i choked on my coffee. it’s SO BAD , jb. ❞ anecdote coaxes the softest of laughter from chapped shapes , and she FEELS SO AT EASE whilst she trades horror stories from the jukebox and beyond with jellybean. ( if there’s a PANG that pulls at heartstrings , she’ll ignore it --- briefly , she’ll wonder if STRIKING EYES are an inherited trait in the jones family. ) ❝ peppermint hot chocolate ?? a woman after my own heart , you are. --- --- - that’d be awesome , jb. thank you. ❞ it’s murmured with MUTED SINCERITY , the kind that she’s prided herself on , grave in the eyes but thankful in slight intonations of a hushed tone. ❝ maybe , if you’re real lucky , i’ll keep dazzling you with my jukebox stories. god knows i’ve got a few. ❞

RE. / WOOD , CASSIAN.
“Welcome to 10 Car Pile Up, records are primarily the only form of music we sell, there’s also some guitars and drum kits in the back if you’re interested. I’m Cassian, let me know if you need anything, but if you steal anything from my shop I’ll cut your hands off and pin them to the front window.”
FOR A MOMENT , she feels out of place. proprietor of the establishment isn’t doing much to ease barbara’s nerves --- --- - nervous giggle , discordant and unnerved , dies halfway between her throat and crisp air. ❝ good to , um. good to know. ❞ ( smile is still ebullient , if gilt - edged with her telltale signs of terror. ) ❝ so , uh. ❞ ( prepare yourself , don’t trip over your words. ) ❝ tell me , what kind’a music do y’stock ?? ❞

RE. / JONES , JELLYBEAN.
“i’ve got a question for ya.” when did she never? jellybean had always been a child obsessed with the why of things, never content with accepting ANYTHING at face value. she’d spent a lifetime asking questions - she wasn’t about to change now. “you’ve gotta answer it with the very FIRST thing that comes to mind, though, ‘kay? that’s real important.” that last part was debatable. she was, to put it plainly, exhausted. between the start of term work that was being laid on her at riverdale college and the extra hours she had been putting in trying to get pops back up to scratch, jellybean had never been so physically wiped out, and with everything being doom and gloom and serious of late, she needed something that was a little more CASUAL, and a lot more fun. hence - “what is the worst song on the chock’lit jukebox? don’t even try and tell me you haven’t thought about it BEFORE, cause i know everyone has - and there’s bonus points on offer here if ya give me some reasoning, too.”
IT’S SHEER INSTINCT that draws corners of chapped brims up , settles them into softly - beguiled beam ; hasn’t seen jellybean in years , but betty KNOWS THAT TONE ANYWHERE. ( not too dissimilar to other members of the jones family , she’ll momentarily consider before peach hue starts shading high planes of brunette’s complexion. ) it’s ALWAYS questions with the other , but distractions are welcome / painfully necessary , and when brunette finally releases vice grip on highlighter it’s with the quirk of a brow and musings lingering on tired tongue. ❝ oh god , okay --- my gut’s going with never gonna give you up. it’s genuinely an OKAY song , don’t get me wrong , but it’s so overdone now. that one bryan adams song from robin hood comes in equal first , though. god , i HATE that song. my mom and dad played it at their wedding , i’ve seen the video. ❞

“Hot chocolate eh? Well if it’s as wonderful as you say I might just have to stick around.” Juliet brushed her brown locks out of her face. She looked down at her watch, checking the time to make sure she wouldn’t be late or class.
OH , THAT BEAM IS EFFERVESCENT when it’s curling glossed shapes into something sweet , something soft / something kind , so kind and fragile. ❝ believe me , it’s SO GOOD ! my moms and i come here every thursday , it’s tradition now. ❞

eyes closed, fingers ghost over keys that have just had the beginnings of her narration pressed into them. “ undulating with desire, betty removes her crimson cape at the sight of jughead’s stiff and-… HM. ” they’re open now, seeking the advice of her company on how to continue the escalating smut. “ what’s another word for ENGORGED ? ”
