Writer’s Month Prompts (written for @writersmonth )
Day 23 - Lodge (Bughead)
(Note: This story is a (surprise) follow up to Day 19′s story - Bubbles and Single Parent(s). Enjoy.)
“Here you are, Juggie.” Betty joined Jughead on the balcony porch. He appeared deep in thought as he gazed out into the tamed wilderness behind the lodge. She couldn’t help but wonder if the notebook abandoned on the chair had anything to do with his contemplative expression.
Despite the crisp autumnal chill, he looked cozy with a plaid blanket wrapped around his shoulders and a mug of steaming coffee cupped in his hands. Back home, as the weather had cooled, he’d taken to wearing a knitted crown beanie. Apparently, he used to wear the hat all the time before they had met. She found the addition charming.
“Good morning.” Jughead kissed her lightly on lips before turning his attention back to the view. Through a gap in the towering pines, they spied a glimpse of the lake. The sun glinted like diamonds off the gently lapping waves. “How’d you sleep?”
“Gloriously.” Betty carefully balanced her coffee mug along the railing, then reached up, stretching long and lean. The stretch raised the hem of the oversized sweatshirt she’d stolen from Jughead ages ago, revealing a strip of bare skin. His mug-warmed fingers traced chastely along her lower back. Still, she squirmed as the light touch tickled.
“Don’t stop,” she pleaded as his touch drifted away and the sweatshirt once again covered her skin.
A smirk tugged at his lips as he leaned down to whisper in her ear. “Later, when the kids aren’t twenty feet away in the living room.”
“Tease.” She sighed and rested her head against his shoulder. Unfortunately, he was right. Jellybean was partaking in her tradition of Saturday morning cartoons. The twins were excited to join in this treat. Betty generally tried to limit the about of screen time the twins had access to, but she couldn’t deny it was nice being able to have a proper lie in while Jellybean and the twins amused themselves for a bit.
Jughead hummed a noncommittal response. “I still can’t believe Veronica just let us borrow this place for the week. It’s like a mansion plopped in the middle of the backwoods. Still feels like it must be a dream or something.”
“As I said last night, welcome to Lodge Lodge. Veronica is generous with her friends. She's offered to let me come up here before, but I've never taken her up on it before now.” Betty sipped her coffee, trying to remember the last time she was here. It definitely wasn't this peaceful. “V used to bring the whole gang up here all the time during high school. We’d have these unsupervised parties and do a bunch of stupid stuff. Nothing too dangerous, I suppose, but you wouldn’t believe the number of headaches and fights which followed us back home after a weekend away.”
Shaking her head, Betty struggled to push aside the melancholy she associated with growing up too fast, which surfaced anytime she reflected too long on her carefree past. “This is the first time I’ve been back here since I got custody of the twins. Suddenly getting drunk and fighting about who stole whose boyfriend felt lest important, you know…”
“Betts, stop.” He press a kiss to the crown of her head. “It’s okay to mourn what you loss. It’s also okay to want things for yourself.”
“I know, I know.” She really did, but sometimes it felt selfish. Selfish to still want that life when she wouldn’t trade being ‘mom’ to the twins for the world. “Do you ever miss what your life could have been?”
He shrugged. “I don’t know. I mean I’ve been doing this since I was sixteen, so I didn’t exactly have a normal high school experience. Even if I wasn’t taking care of Jelly, I wasn’t exactly Mr. Popular. No one was going to invite me to the high school dance or weekend parties in the woods.”
Despite herself, Betty laughed. “Not to be all gender norms and stuff, but I think guys are still more likely to ask the girls to the dance.”
“Betts,” he voice dropped to that deep rumble that made her shiver. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her flush against his body. She could feel the thrum of his heartbeat. “You’re the first girl I ever wanted to invite to a dance and I didn’t meet you until recently. So, no, even if I had the opportunity, I wouldn’t have invited another girl to the dance.”
“I wouldn’t mind if you had….” Betty never knew how to respond when he said things like that. He made her feel special, and cherished, and loved by him, but it was also so far from her experiences.
Jughead rested his cheek on top of her head. “I know. Don’t worry about it. I don’t regret any of my decisions. I wouldn’t exchange taking care of Jelly for the world of normal opportunities. Besides, it led me to you. I can’t think of anything better.”
She melted into his embrace. They’d been dating for six months—almost as long as they’d known each other and their lives had almost seamlessly melded together. Suddenly, there was another person in their lives they could depend on. Betty lost track of the times he volunteered to watch the twins while she went to a doctor’s appointment or stayed late for a study session. Likewise, she returned the favor, letting Jellybean stay with her when Jug picked up an extra shift or visited his dad in prison. While they scheduled semi-regular date nights, more often than not, their mutual free evenings were spent together at his or her apartment with all the kids and doing normal family things. Making supper, doing homework, watching moves—that sort of thing.
The twins had quickly taken to Jughead. Following Betty’s example, they called him Juggie. When he was there at bedtime, they begged him to be part of their bedtime routine—reading stories and tucking them in—and were disappointed when he wasn’t there in the morning. Last spring, not long after they started dating, Juni’s pre-school class was having a ‘Daddy-Daughter’ event. Jug hadn’t even blinked when Juni had asked him to come.
On the other hand, Betty wasn’t certain what Jellybean thought of her. While she got along great with the twins—patiently playing with them, reading to them, teaching them new things— Jelly was wary around Betty. Jug’s sister was unfailingly polite and whenever Betty babysat her, the girl seemed to enjoy herself. But, when Jug was around, Jellybean would never talk directly to Betty. She’d always ask Jug first if she wanted something from Betty. He refused to play go-between so Jelly would need to decide between not getting what she wanted or talking to Betty.
“Whatchya thinking about?” Jug broke into her silent reverie.
“Us. Our families. Jelly.” She threaded her fingers between his.
Jughead tensed. She could feel the tension travel through his jaw and down into his arms. “I’m sorry about how she acts. I don’t know what’s gotten into her…”
“It’s fine. I mean, it’s not fine-fine. But, it’s normal. I’m the new woman in your life. She’s protective of her big brother who’s always so protective of her.” Betty worried at her lower lip for a moment as she decided whether or not to broach the subject. “Juggie, I think she might be worried that if we…well, you know, move forward with our relationship. Get more serious…”
“Betts, I am absolutely serious about you.”
“And I’m serious about you too…” She swatted at his arm. “Now, stop distracting me.”
“Yes ma’am.” He wrapped her arms around her waist and picked her up. She squealed, but didn’t fight as he carried her over to one of the deck chairs and settled her on his lap. “Go on.”
She cuddled up against him and teased at the bit of hair which snuck out from under his beanie. “I was saying, I think Jelly might be afraid that if you get serious about me, you’ll leave her too. Like your mom and dad. So, she’s making certain you know she needs you.”
Jug swore under his breath. “I thought… I was trying…I wanted her to never feel that way. I was hoping she knew that no matter what happens in our lives, I’ll always be there for her.”
“Shh, it’ll be okay Juggie.” Betty pressed her forehead against his. “Deep down she knows. She’s been your world for so long now that she’s needing to learn how to share you. Remember, while you’ve always been there for her, when big life things happen, your parents weren’t. As much as that hurts you, it also hurt her. She needs time to get used to me and to see that things won’t change between you and her.”
“I’ve got a smart girlfriend.” Jug lifted his face and nibbled at her jawline.
Betty laughed as she stretched her neck to give him better access. “Why thank you. And, just so you know, I have an absolutely amazing and caring boyfriend.”
“Do you now?” he mumbled around the kisses he lavished down her neck. Tugging lightly at the neckline of the sweatshirt, he revealed the edge of her collarbone. He pressed a kissed to the spot, sucking slightly in order to leave his mark on her skin.
Everything came to a sudden and hasty stop as the balcony door opened.
“Jug?” Jellybean called.
Betty was thankful that her back was to the door. Between that and her hair, the kids wouldn’t have been able to see what the adults were getting up to. Suddenly, Betty felt a bit like a teenager again, getting caught in a compromising position. She adjusted the neckline of the sweatshirt so everything was covered.
“Breathe,” Jug whispered as he brushed her hair behind her ear. His lingering caress was light and intimate.
Glancing around his girlfriend, Jug waved his sister over. “All done with your cartons?”
“Yeah.” She stayed beside the door, swinging it back and forth. “Um, I’m hungry.”
“Okay, I’ll get you some cereal.” Jughead started to scoot to the edge of the chair. Betty slipped off his lap and started to gather their abandoned coffee mugs.
“Actually, I was wondering,”—Jellybean studied her fingers and picked at a hangnail—“Betty, will you make pancakes?”
“Of course,” Betty couldn’t stop the thousand watt smile breaking out across her face. “I’d love to. Would you like to help?”
Jelly nodded.
“All right, why don’t you head in and wash your hands. I’ll join you in the kitchen in a moment.”
Jughead squeezed her hand, silently sharing the joy of the moment.
“Okay.” Jellybean dashed inside to follow Betty’s instructions.
Following Jelly inside, Jughead and Betty paused in the living room to check on the twins. Though no one was paying attention to the television, the cartoon continued to play. DJ colored while Juni built with Duplos.
“Go on.” Jug turned off the tv. “I’ll keep an eye on the twins.”
“Can you read us a story?” Juni asked. She looked up at him with large hopeful eyes.
“Of course.” Jug settled on the couch and the twins were soon cuddled against his sides, each with a stack of books.
I love you, Betty mouthed silently as Jug settled in the center of the couch. The twins cuddled up at his sides, each with a stack of books.
Jug winked, and returned the sentiments in an equally silent, I love you.
Knowing her kids were in good hands, Betty proceeded to the kitchen on the ground floor. Jellybean had already started to lay out mixing bowls, measuring cups, and a pancake flipper.
“Thanks, that’s very helpful.” Betty set the coffee mugs in the sink as she washed her hands.
Jelly's cheeks colored at the praise. She hesitated a moment before asking shyly, “Can we have blueberry pancakes?”
Neither the twins nor Jughead were fond of blueberry pancakes, so Betty didn’t make them often.
“Certainly. And, I’ll let you in on a secret,” Betty whispered conspiratorially, “they’re my favorite too,”
In Jellybean’s answering grin, Betty saw a trace of Jughead’s mischievous glint. She also noted the acknowledgment in Jelly’s eyes that the girl recognized Betty as ally and an adult she could trust.
Betty’s heart soared. She couldn’t help but think that they were one step closer to becoming a family for keeps.

you remind me of a memory I once knew: chapter six out of ?
Summary: Bughead The Lake House AU.
Author Notes: Just updating a fic a year later....
-/-
Settling into a rhythm of writing to one another, she takes little time at the start of the correspondence to decide this warped notion of years as just another means for someone to reach out and connect. If he was lonely or had no relatives or friends to talk to, who was she to dismiss him?
Read the rest here
Read from the beginning

the real answer is probably the very first fic i ever wrote, back in middle school, for the OG Roswell. Liz comes back to town for her wedding to [some guy I made up]...but Max is still in love with her...and she's still in love with him!!! it was very subtle, very emotional stuff, i assure you.
as for things i've written as an adult - i will go with this little New Year's Eve bughead pre-relationship fic, kaleidoscopes. it's not bad, it's fine, it's just very meh.
48. three spoilers for (insert story title)
here's what i'm gonna do. i'm gonna give you 1 spoiler for each of these 3 stories, but i'm not gonna say which is which. :D
Ethel Muggs is in a bunker.
Jughead helps Betty move into a group house.
Betty & Jughead take a boat out to the middle of a lake.

the second riverdale book was SO messy it had so much good stuff in it like archies ptsd and bettys addiction and seeing the cracks in bughead that the show tended to act like were nonconsequential until the time skip but it also had like. Random chapters solely about ethel or josie or reggie that were completely separate from the plot and didn't work as their own subplots cuz they only existed to get across the idea that "hiram hired penny to see what the kids were up to after the GNG players tipped them off, and penny got dilton to blow some shit up" but instead that was like. 60 pages of a short book and some of those pages were about the pussycats having a concert to mention they saw dilton in passing for. Some reason????? it was so disjointed i got nearly halfway through til they even left to go to the lake house which was the whole plot. also the scream allusion was so badly done it was like two lines it deserved a proper plot parallel. but at least jughead said with his mouth he has a kink for mechanics we always have that.

Two Truth And A Lie
“That is flagrantly false and I will sue!” Cheryl hisses, entire face pinched in anger.
“I’m sorry, Cheryl, but it’s the truth. Jughead and I have known each other since we were five. It simply stands to reason that we know each other better than you and Toni.”
Cheryl huffs out a breath. “Fine, then. Prove it.”
Betty furrows her brow. “Prove it? How?”
“Two truths and a lie. Against each other. Full honesty.” Cheryl sounds triumphant, but Betty can’t imagine why.
“Betty starts.”
Heaving a sigh, Betty turns to face her boyfriend. “Fine. My favorite color is blue, I broke five bones as a child, and my dream car is a ‘56 Ferarri.”
Jughead ponders for a moment. “The car. Your favourite color is violet. Not too dark, but light enough that it looks cheery. It reminds you of spring, which reminds you of the Pickens Day Parade. And you did break five bones, two fingers, one rib, and an arm when you fell out of a tree by Sweetwater River. But the car...you’d pick an Aston Martin any day.”
The others are gaping as they look at the couple, but Cheryl smooths it over quickly.
“Hobo next,” she taps him on the shoulder.
“I have a name, Cheryl,” Jughead snaps. He pauses a moment. “Okay. I once visited Boston, I’m scared of swimming, and I’ve been in love with Betty Cooper since I was fifteen.”
Betty smiles tenderly at him, cupping his cheek, to the chorus of sarcastic “awwws” around them.
“Guesses, Cousin?” Cheryl grins.
“Boston. Jughead will only go in the water if it’s been vetted for at least thirty minutes before -”
“Leeches!” He cuts in indignantly.
“And we’ve been together since we were 15. So, Boston.”
The flame on his cheeks is the first clue that she’s wrong. The second is when Archie snaps his fingers and remembers the road trip over a weekend with Fred to Boston when they were nine.
“Jug?” Betty presses. “I don’t get it. Where is the lie?”
His face is the color of a tomato, and he’s barely audible as he presses out “Maybe I had a bit of a thing for you before we were together.”
Betty twists her hand into his. “Jughead Jones,” she says sternly. “How long?”
He lets out a sigh, and his shoulders slump. “Ten. I was ten. At least when I realized it.”
#Bughead#Bughead Drabble Challenge#I took that 100 word limit and went#Nahhh#But I will die on the hill that jughead liked betty long before he kissed her#Also I don't know anything about cars#Apparently when googling you don't use the word old you use classic or vintage#And I don't swim in lake water because leeches#i got bitten when i was nine#It's 20 years later and I'm holding on to that trauma#so i feel you jug

"Laurie may seem nice at first — and possibly even romantically interested in one or both of them (sorry, Veronica and Betty fans!) — but the situation ends up taking a rather unexpected turn, putting Archie and Jughead into "more danger than they could have imagined.”"

When I looked up at him, there was a lopsided grin playing on his lips. I threw my head back and giggled in response to what he said about looking good and envy. I never could have guessed that I’d be on a yacht cruising Lake Michigan, with the boy next door helping me gain the attention of the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. The whole situation was ridiculous, really. It was stupid. It was probably juvenile. But I couldn’t see myself putting an end to it so soon when the plan was working.

Up a River (A Riverdale Bingo drabble)
A lovely Anon asked me for a Varchie interlude when I recently solicited writing prompts, and it inspired me to come up with this. 😊😊😊
When Betty and Jughead beat Veronica and Archie to the lake house they’re sharing for a couples’ getaway, Betty asks Veronica to bring up a bag she forgot at their apartment. When Veronica accidentally grabs the wrong bag, she and Archie wind up getting more insight into Bughead’s sex life than they were expecting.
You can check it out on AO3 by heading over HERE.
@riverdalebingo Pairing: Veronica/Archie (Betty/Jughead referenced) Rating: M (purely for topic of discussion) Word count: 730
