Betty's Flu

Betty grunted in pain as she heaved into the toilet. She heard a slight knock at her bathroom door. "Betts?"

She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Juggy" she sobbed. She had come down with the sniffles the week prior. Jughead came over earlier to make sure she was ok. When he found her in the bathroom puking her guts out, he knew it was something more.

A few minutes had passed and her puking spell was over. Jughead had gotten a wet cloth to wipe Betty's face off. After she was cleaned up he gently guided her to her room.

"Here, lay down." He said pulling the bed covers up to her waist. "Thanks Jug." She said, tears forming in her eyes. Jughead sat down on the bed next to his girlfriend, who now had tears falling freely down her face. And cupped her cheek, wiping them away.

As he did this he noticed Betty had a fever, she was burning up. "Get some rest. I'll be right back." He walked into her bathroom, and emerged with a damp cloth. Cold from the water he ran it under. Betty laid there, watching as Jug walked over to her.

He placed the cool cloth on her forehead, trying to bring down her fever. "I'm going to get a thermometer from downstairs. If you need me, call for me, ok?" Betty looked at her boyfriend, thankful he was here. She nodded, and he walked down the stairs.

He easily found the thermometer and headed back up.

Betty suddenly got a major headache. It was so bad she screamed out in pain. Jughead quickly sprinted up the stairs, coming to her aid. He ran into the room, setting the thermometer down, and quickly got her a glass of water.

Her headache had calmed slightly. And Jug had helped her sit up and drink her water. They were now laying in bed together, Betty was wrapped in the comforting arms of her knight in shining armor. He was studding her face as she dosed off to sleep. Her beautiful eyes were filled with pain, her stomach was fighting itself, and her head hurt like crazy. He was sure she had the flu. But he didn't care if he were to catch it from her, he just wanted to help his Betty.

Soon she was fully asleep. And Jug, being the non selfish boyfriend that he is, stayed there, wrapping her in his embrace. He felt bad for her, she had been through so much already, he didn't want her to hurt anymore.

After a couple hours Betty woke up. She felt a little better, seeing Jug next to her when she awoke. She saw the thermometer on her desk, and took her temperature. It came back normal. When she sat back down, she sat in her bed next to Jug, who had been awake the hole time.

"Thank you." She wispered against his shoulder. "You didn't have to do this but you did anyway." Jughead looked down at Betty. "It's my job to love and care for you, Betty. I'm just happy I was here when I was." He planted a kiss on her forehead. "I love you." Betty smiled at his words. "I love you too, Juggy."

She looked up at him, and they kissed. He could brighten up her darkest days, and this showed it.

For the rest of the day they just cuddled in bed, making sure to keep an eye of Betty's temperature. He was the best medicine for her. And her, his.

BUGHEAD ONE SHOT. Didn't know how to end it off but... I think it's sweet. Hope you think it is too.

Thx.
