It was a normal friday afternoon. A few months after Archie and Veronica broke up. A month after Ryan moved from New York to Riverdale. Archie lay in the still frozen grass by sweet water river. He was relaxing when he heard something unsettleing. He heard screams. He walked twords the noise when he saw, a boy about his age, tied up with rope and being dragged twords the water. The bandit threw the boy in the water and bolted. Archie immidently dived into the river to save him.

He grabbed the boy and untied him, pulling him to the surface. Then Archie pulled him onto the shore. He saw the boy wasnt breathing so he gave him mouth to mouth. The boy coughed up the water in his lungs and thanked Archie.

"Its Archie, right?" said the boy. he saw Archies reaction and said "We go to school together."

"Ohh" said Archie. " And its Ryan right?" said Archie. Ryan nodded. He shold have guessed that Archie knew his name, considering her and Veronica were friends from New York. They looked around and noticed the current took them quite far away from where they were. They decided since it was almost dark to sleep on the shore and go back in the morning. They lay next to each other, with a foot of distance betwwen them.

"Hey Archie?" said Ryan

"hmph" said Archie

"Can i ask you something personal?"

How personal?"

"Why did you and Veronica brake up?"

Archie thought about it for a moment. he wasnt sure weather to answer, but Ryan and Veronica were best friends."I...I started to question my sexualallity." he said. "And i needed to figure it out.. Can i ask you something personal? Well two."

"Ask away" said Ryan.

"Are you gay?" Said Archie. Ryan nodded. "Then could you tell me, whats your experience with men.

"Well, my first boyfriend was a jackass. Then I... I assume you know Nick Saintclaire?" Archie nodded. "Well lets say he dosent just sexually assult gitls."

"Oh. Im so sorry, i didnt know." said Archie.

"Its fine," said Ryan. "It was a year ago anyway. Continuing. Then a few days after i moved here, i had a one night stand with your frind Kevin. Well its pretty late so goodnight Archie. he turned over and went to aleep. Unaware that he actuall fell asllep on some unfrozen ice.

Ryan felt his hand in water and immdently woke up. He had driffted about 20 feet away from Archie. "Archie." he said as the small ice cracked a little.

"Whats up."

"Archie!" he said louder as the ice cracked more.

"Whered ya go," said Archie looking around.

"ARCHIE!" he screamed as the ice broke and he fell into the water. Archie dove into the water and once again saved Ryan."There you go again," said Ryan. "Saving me from sweet water river."

"Its really no problem," said Archie.

"Perhaps I can return the favor." said a smiling Ryan. "Youve said youve never experinced a man." he climbed onto Archies lap. " Mabey you want to change that." he took the red head boy into a kiss. Archie was reluctent at first but kissed back. Ryan pulled out of the kiss. "Has anyone ever told you that you have the softest lips."

"Yeah, Veronica" said Archie. "But she isnt here right now." he pulled Ryan into a deep and passionate kiss. They ended up sleeping right next to each other, with Ryan covered by Archies jacket.
