Another short one and I know it's been forever but I have reasons. One being fanfic was glitchy the day I tried to post this and the next being I live on the east coast and managed to keep power but not internet during the snowstorm.

Dark
Summary – Betty tries to explain her darkness to Jughead.

"It's just…I just…" I try to make sense of my jumbled thoughts as Juggie stares into my soul. "Every time something bad happens, I just feel this awful swirling anger inside and if I let it out, I'm afraid of what will happen. I don't want people to think I'm crazy and I really don't want to hurt anybody but when I see Chuck or Cheryl doing something they shouldn't, I just want to get some kind of revenge." My wonderful boyfriend squeezes my hands, smoothing his thumbs over the scars on my palms.
"Betts, it's normal to feel angry and want some kind of justice when people do bad things. I don't like the way you avoid it, by hurting yourself. That worries me a little. I know what it's like to want to act on things you shouldn't but you are so strong for not acting on it. Your strength amazes me," Jughead kisses my knuckles lightly, gazing up at me with those memorizing ocean blue eyes.
"Do you know what amazes me about you?" I ask, lightly, wrapping my arms loosely over his shoulders. I play with the hem of his crown-shaped beanie and bite my lip.
"What's that?" he breathes.
"I'm amazed that you can look into my very soul, darkness and all, and still look at me the way you do," I whisper, leaning closer to him so I can brush my lips against his. He gives me that lopsided grin that makes my stomach flutter and my knees go weak.
"Everyone has a little darkness in them, Betts. But you're the only one that can make it this sexy," he draws me in for a breathtaking kiss and I melt against him. Even though I still can't quite explain my inner dark Betty, Jughead understands and loves me anyway. He has a way of making me believe that soulmates exist and I was lucky enough to find mine.
