Loud. Very loud moaning was bouncing off the walls of the Whyte Worm. The two of them had supposed to been here setting up weeks early for a Christmas party, but they ultimately got distracted.

Sapphire arched her back off the bar counter at one flick of his tongue. She couldn't remember how the two of them ended up in this position, but she did know her underwear was lying somewhere in the bar in shreds. She also knew that the two of them were definitely not supposed to be having this moment but from the moans of pleasure coming from the both of them… well they couldn't really give a damn.

Her head fell back, and her fingers searched desperately for something to grab on to with each of flick of his tongue. He pushed a finger inside of her followed by another when he thought she was ready. Her hands made their way to his hair slightly tugging when he curled his finger inside of her. She wasn't going to last very long if he kept that up.

But that still didn't stop the disappointed whine that escaped from her lips when he pulled away. Her eyes flickered towards him as he started to crawl back up her body places kisses here and there across her stomach and chest. He paused once he made it back her boobs. He took care to once again suck on them leaving even more hickies and pulling on the nipple gently with his teeth.

He dug through his jeans which had somehow managed to not fall off and grabbed a condom from inside one of the pockets. He pulled it over himself quickly.

"Are you ready," he questioned softly. He was giving her a chance. To back away and put it behind them. But they had already come so far, and Sapphire would be damned if they turned away now.

"Yeah," she breathed out and he kissed her as he slowly pushed himself inside of her. Her hands slipped around his neck pulling him closer to her as his hips began to move in slow thrusts. One his hands reached down to pull her leg around his waist as he started to move slightly faster. She wrapped her other leg around him and locked her ankles together pushing him in deeper. Both of them let out low moans at that action.

His forehead came to rest on hers as she started to meet him thrust for thrust. Small grunts left escaped him with every thrust and Saph could feel her orgasm bubbling under her skin.

When one of his hands found its way in-between their bodies and his middle finger rubbed against her clitoris, her orgasm exploded in a wave of ecstasy as she rode out her climax her eyes squeezing shut. The sensation only heightened as he continued to thrust into her as his own orgasm started to reach its peak.

At one particularly loud moan from her, he crushed his lips onto hers and kissed her deeply. The wave of ecstasy slowly ebbed away as she began to bask in her afterglow right as he groaned loudly against her lips with her name dripping off his tongue like sin.

The two of them disconnected and he pulled off the condom to throw it away as they breathe heavily both still coming down from their respective highs.

Her eyes slid over to him taking in the sight of him shirtless and still basically naked. His cheeks were still slightly rosy, and she watched the muscles in his arms stretched as he ran a hand through his hair. Her eyes flickered around the room before she moved to reach for her clothes when she saw the way his head whipped towards her.

He reminded her of a puppy. An angry puppy but still a puppy. One that hardly ever got angry with her.

"Fangs," she questioned as the two looked at each other. Both very aware of the heat beginning to burn in their veins again.

"Ahh fuck it," she moaned before she moved to straddle him. "My turn now."

Sapphire had been asleep when she got the phone call. The loud ringing shocking her awake so badly that she nearly fell off the bed. She groaned as she patted around searching for her phone until she found it. She didn't look to see who had called her.

"Hello," she answered groggily. A part of her already falling back asleep. Her eyes shot open at the next words she hears from Toni.

"He's out, Saph."

Sapphire walked into the police station looking exactly how most would expect the Heiress to Stone Enterprises to look. She didn't pay any mind to anyone else as she made it to the room where everyone else was.

She stopped and paused in the doorway as she took in the sight before her. Tears had already begun to gather in her eyes. Tears of relief and happiness. She let out a sob catching everyone's attention.

He let go of his son and stepped towards her. "Ria…"

And that was all it took before she runs into his arms and holds onto him tightly. "Papá."

FP was relieved to have her back in his arms. He reached an arm out to pull Jughead into the hug. This was his family and he made the promise to himself to never leave them again as he hugged them tightly.

"I believe this calls for a celebration," FP heard Betty Cooper say. He watched as Jughead pull away so that Betty could step forward to give him a hug, but Sapphire didn't move an inch. He had a feeling she wasn't going to leave his side for a while.

And he was right. The whole night of the party at the Whyte Worm she was by his side not even sparing any of her friends a glance. He didn't mind though. He could see the absolute relief in her eyes anytime she looked at him. It was as if she was getting younger by the second as weeks' worth of stress started to fade away from her face making her look like the bubbly pessimistic teenager he had left behind.

A week had passed since FP had got out of jail and everything with the Serpents started to run more smoothly. Even the Ghoulies knew to back off with how fast production started roll out as FP quickly resumed his leadership throwing off the Ghoulies jingle jangle transactions.

Sweet Pea had just come back from a run for a guy who thought that since FP had been in jail and Tall Boy had been busy that he could skip out on payments. He thought he had got off scotch free until he saw Sweet Pea sitting in the chair of his office.

Needless to say, he paid all his money plus the interest.

Sweet Pea was walking down the hallways of Southside High when caught sight of a couple making out in front of Sapphire's locker.

Sapphire. Fuck, he hadn't meant to hurt her. He had never thought to hurt her. But Cheryl… she was there for him the whole time Sapphire was in the hospital that week and a half. She kept him company whenever he wasn't with Sapphire or she wasn't with Toni.

He couldn't remember exactly what had possessed him to kiss her that day. The two of them both had been shocked by his actions. Maybe it was because she was prancing around Sapphire's house where he had been cooped up dressed so much like her. He thought maybe it was just a rich girl thing, but he also saw where the two had their differences in style. Where Sapphire was dark and edgy and lots and lots of leather; Cheryl was everything he thought a Northsider to be except with a small edge that seems to surround people from high class families. As if they were hiding dark secrets that no one could ever figure out.

Sweet Pea was brought back to reality the second the boy let out a low moan and the girl shushed him. His footsteps caught their attention and he paused when he realized the girl in question was Sapphire.

His Sapphire.

Her eyes widen at seeing him and he saw a flash of something cross her features before her face turned unreadable. The boy looked between them in fear. Everyone in school had knew the consequences of getting close to Sapphire.

Some nice broken bones did the trick.

But he couldn't do anything now. He had no right to, so he was forced to watch as Sapphire pulled the boy's face back towards her own and kissed him with everything she had all the while keeping eye contact with Sweet Pea.

He watched as she pulled away from the kiss and moved to the boy's neck pulling and licking at the skin leaving hickies for everyone to see. And she kept eye contact the whole time. He saw the amusement in her face as the boy let out a low groan before he jumped and pulled away from Sapphire when Sweet Pea's fist connected with a nearby locker.

He kept walking and refused to turn around to see those same dark chocolate eyes staring after him in amusement.

Despite Sapphire's and Fangs' night of passion, the two of them continued to behave as if nothing had changed between them. Because nothing had changed. They knew where they stood with each other and were quite happy with their friendship.

And besides, Fangs knew that even if Sapphire wouldn't admit to it that she was still so very deeply in love with Sweet Pea.

That's why it came to a surprise to him and SP when they pulled up to Toni's uncle's trailer to the sight of Sapphire straddling Toni and kissing her. Toni's hands were halfway up Sapphire's shirt while Sapphire had her hands in Toni's hair.

Both boys were starting to get uncomfortably hard at the sight and sounds of undeniable sin coming from the girls as they got fully into it.

Sapphire pressed down a little more which led to Toni falling backwards to lye down on the couch and Sapphire grinded her hips down on her. Sapphire had just pulled her hoodie off while Toni worked to get her bra off at the same time when Sweet Pea groaned a little.

Both girls screamed as they jumped apart as they whipped around to look at them.

Sweet Pea and Fangs had managed to get a clear view of Sapphire's chest before she slipped her hoodie back on. And Sweet Pea also noted that her blank face was back on in his presence. The four of them sat awkwardly looking at each other before Sapphire's phone went off. She opened it and sighed before she stood up to leave.

"I have to go," she stated looking at Fangs and Toni completely ignoring Sweet Pea's existence. "I have an appointment"

The appointment she had was with FP to take her to the Serpents' tattoo artist. He had an off day since there hadn't been any new recruits or people wanting tattoos.

But Sapphire wanted one. The empty and angry feeling she had in her chest needed to be acknowledge. She never wanted to forget that feeling for as long as she had the ability to remember. What better way to do so than to get something permanent?

"Are you sure you wanna do this, Ria," FP questioned from where he was turned around as Sapphire stripped of her shirt and pants.

"Yeah, FP," Sapphire replied once she sat down and got comfortable. FP turned back around careful to keep his gaze away from her body because he didn't want to perve on the girl he saw as a daughter. Though he did watch the tattoo artist in case he had any ideas. "I really want to."

"Okay," was all he said as the familiar whirring of the tattoo gun began.

It took a couple of hours but once it was done, Sapphire carefully got redressed and FP paid the man. He picked Sapphire up ignoring her whining for how she was old enough to pay for herself and carried her back to the truck.

"You know how to take care of that, right," he teased after he got in and started back towards her house. "I don't have to go over it again."

Sapphire snorted, "No, you don't."

It was quiet for a few moments before FP started up again, "What's going on between you and Sweet Pea?"

Sapphire tensed, and her hand raise to touch her wrist before it abruptly dropped. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

He could hear the bitterness in her voice, the anger and the frustration. He took a glance over to her and saw the blank look on her face at the very mention of him. He watched as her hands balled into fists before she relaxed them as he turned back to the road. "Well, whatever happened then Sweet Pea's an idiot for letting you go."

His words had the desired effect as he cast another glance to her. A small shy smile, but a smile none the less appeared on her face. A moment too soon it dropped. He noticed as she started to tap alongside her wrist before she whispered, "He was my idiot though."

He pulled into her yard just in time for her to shed tears and for him to reach over and hold her so that she could cry in his arms.

"I just don't understand, FP. What did I do wrong? How come he doesn't love me," she cried out as he held onto her tighter. "And now I gotta look her in her eyes and see she's has half of me and she's not even half of me!"

"Come on, Ria. Let it out."

And she did. Weeks' worth of frustration, heartbreak, anger, and every other negative emotion balled up and amplified were finally set free. She cried for so much and so long that she eventually cried herself to sleep with little sniffles escaping her here and there as he carried her into the house and to her room.

He wanted to talk to Sweet Pea about Sapphire, but if there was one thing he prided himself on was not getting in the way of the relationships between the Serpents. Especially Sweet Pea and Sapphire. All he could do was go home and hope for the better.

As he was leaving out of her room, he noticed a small bracelet lying on the floor. A charm bracelet. A small blue sapphire diamond and snake charm hung off the chain. He spared a glance at her before placing the bracelet onto her vanity before finally walking out the door.

After weeks of avoidance, Sapphire was making her way back into the cafeteria of Southside High. Though it was cold outside, Sapphire was dressed in her usual crop top but this time she wore a faux fur jacket over it and had on ripped skinny leg jeans all to show off her new tattoos.

The one now on her left leg was made to look like a snake slithering into her skin and the other was placed right under her boobs peeking out a little. Not many could see it but it was a snake squeezing a heart. Sapphire also knew that she wanted at least one more snake themed tattoo, but she couldn't think of any at the moment.

But the second her foot crossed the threshold into the cafeteria, everyone went quiet even the Ghoulies. Sapphire rose a brow as she looked around at everyone before flicking her hair over her shoulder and making her way towards the Serpents section.

"Holy fuck, it's the Queen of the Kingpin."

"Fuck, Sapphire's gotten sexier."

"Dude that tattoo is fucking fire!"

"Oh my gosh, didn't you hear Sapphire and Sweet Pea had broken up?"

"Damn, it's the other half of Southside's Gems."

"Didn't you remember when she got shot?"

"Serpent Slut."

At that last one, Sapphire turned around and punched the boy who said that in the face. She didn't stop to see if she broke his nose or not as she headed towards her seat beside her friends plus Sweet Pea. Sapphire did hear footsteps behind her, so she could only guess the boy was storming up to her, but he didn't very far before her den was surrounding her and blocking his way.

She laughed lightly even as her den moved to start beating the boy as she slid into her seat beside Toni and stole a couple of fries from Fangs' plate. Sapphire flicked her eyes up to see the students still staring at her even as her den broke away from the crumpled and still breathing boy on the floor.

"What the hell are you looking at," she hissed with a poisonous tone and conversations immediately started back.

"Decided to once again grace us with your presence your highness," Sweet Pea sneered but Sapphire just continued to the eat fries she kept stealing from Fangs' plate.

"Its good to have you back Saph," Toni stated from beside Sapphire and she turned to smile at her.

"Its good to be back, Paz," Sapphire smiled. That's one of things Sapphire loved about Toni and Fangs. Even if she had moments with the two of them neither behaved as if anything changed in their friendship.

Sweet Pea scoffed as he realized that Sapphire was going to be childish and pretend he didn't exist. He watched her with dark eyes as she turned to start a conversation with Jughead. He took in her appearance his eyes stopping at the tattoo on her chest playing peek a boo. He couldn't make out just what it was, but he hadn't had the time as it once again became quiet in their section.

Sweet Pea turned a little and took notice of Jazz Towers strutting into their section. The girl walked with all the confidence in the world with a small smirk on her face as she neared their table. She looked over at Sapphire who stared back at her with blank eyes.

"Well, well, well it looks like the Queen of the Kingpin has returned," she mocked, and Sapphire rose a brow at her.

"What the hell do you want, Tower Loans?" Sapphire sneered. Jazz scowled before she abruptly turned to Sweet Pea and all he could do was think Oh, no. Do not bring me into this.

"Sweet Pea," Jazz purred, and he noticed out his peripheral the way Sapphire tensed and scowled darker before her features became unreadable. "My parents are going out of town this weekend and I was thinking that we should spend some time together. Just like before."

Before when the only thing between him and Sapphire was sexual tension and unsaid words and not a wall of unmovable hate and even more unspoken words. He almost took a glance at Sapphire like he used to whenever a girl asked him out in front of her before he had managed to stop himself.

"Sorry, Jazz. I'm a loyal man and my girlfriend would be pretty pissed off if I stepped out of line."

He didn't miss the way Sapphire snorted when he said he was a loyal man, but she was pretending he didn't exist so he's going to pretend he didn't hear her.

Jazz's face dropped in shock when he rejected her before she turned to glare at Sapphire. Sapphire who looked at the other girl in boredom as she casually drank some of the bottled pop that Jughead had passed her. "What are you looking at me for?"

"Since when are the two of you back together? And why would someone like Sweet Pea even want a slut like you? The Serpent Slut. Everybody saw the messa- Aaaaahhh"

Her words were abruptly cut off as Sapphire jumped over the table to tackle her. "Don't you EVER call me a slut again," she growled out as picked the girl up and threw her into adjacent table. Fangs and Jughead were a second too late to grab Sapphire before she was rushing over and punching Jazz in the face.

It was the best fight Sweet Pea had ever seen her in not counting the whole with Cheryl and that one time she got into a fight with the Ghoulie princess for having the nerve to think she had any right to try to seduce a Serpent (it was worse because the Ghoulie was flirting with someone from her den).

"You know the rules," Nathan, Sapphire's favorite from her den called out as everyone crowded around. "Let them fight."

The only sounds that were heard were the cheers coming from one half of Sapphire's snake den as the other half was holding the regulars and the Ghoulies back from entering.

"I HAVE TEN ON SAPPHIRE!"

"FIVE ON JAZZ!"

"BEAT HER ASS SAPH!"

Somehow, someway another regular managed to slip into their section and immediately join the fight. Sweet Pea noticed her to be Ariel Tremaine. Not even a second passed before Toni was joining in to help her best friend.

It was an all-around catfight.

Sweet Pea wondered if he should find some popcorn?
