Hey Ya'll ( hehe) So this is a more than one chapter song fic for Archie and Atlanta based on the song Everlasting Friend by Blue October. Each chapter focuses on a couple of lines that I interpreted to fit for the story. So enjoy!

A Heartbeat Skip. Relationship. Inside a Bubble Bath.

" Atlanta?", Archie asked hesitantly as he knocked on the bathroom door.

" What is it Arch?" The redhead replied from the other side of the door.

" Umm, can I come in? I need to talk to you."

" Can't it wait?"

" No, not really. It's kinda urgent", Archie said as he shuffled his feet nervously.

" Talk". Atlanta demanded as the door slowly jarred open and Atlanta appeared in a bath robe.

" What's the suitcase for?" she asked as she spotted it on the floor next to Archie.

" That's what I need to talk to you about."

" I don't get it"

" Just let me in so I can explain"

" Sure, I guess. Archie, what the hell is going on?" Atlanta asked seriously as she opened the door further and Archie took a seat on the floor as she sat on the edge of the bubbled filled tub.

" I'm leaving" Archie stated.

" You're joking right?"

" I just can't deal with things here anymore. You know?"

" No, I actually don't know"

" We defeated Cronus over a year ago! I'm ready to move on!"

" So you're just going to walk away from the team? Walk away from me?"

" No. I want you to come with me. My flight leaves at five"

" Archie. I-I can't go. I'm done running away from things Archie. I'm done. I'm staying here"

" So you won't come with me?"

" No. I'm staying, you should stay too"

" Atlanta. I-", it was obvious that Archie was struggling to answer. On the one hand he really wanted to leave, but on the other, he couldn't force himself to live without Atlanta.

" I can't leave you" He finally finished.

" So you'll stay with me?"

" Yup. But on one condition."

" And what might that be?" Atlanta asked eyebrows raised and arms across her chest.

" You have to do my laundry for the next three months"

"NO WAY!" Atlanta protested as she began to stand up. But she slipped and fell backwards into the tub, sputtering bubbles everywhere.

" You look cute with a bubble mustache" Archie joked.

" So would you. Arch, shut the door" Atlanta instructed.

" Ummm Okay" Archie said as he began to walk out and close the door behind him.

" No, you stay" Atlanta instructed once more. Archie's hear skipped a beat. Was Atlanta crazy? The bewilderd Archie turned around to see Atlanta shedding her robe. Yup, he thought, Atlanta definitely was crazy. Not that he minded or anything…
