As they drove to Pops, Jughead reached over and rested his hand on Betty's thigh. The blonde placed her hand over his and smiled over at him as he gave her thigh a gentle squeeze.

"So, I'm your girl huh?" She said coyly as she kept her face staring out the front window waiting for his reply. Betty felt his body stiffen for a moment before relaxing. She chuckled as she heard him say, "I thought that was kind of self-explanatory."

Betty turned to him and smirked. "Well, all the other girls get a Varsity jacket when they become a guy's girl. Without that, I just didn't realize how official this was." She laughed when Jughead glared at her. "I'm kidding Juggie." She squeezed his hand and leaned over to kiss his cheek.

"You're going to be in trouble for that later Betts." The young Serpent said giving her a mock glare. She just laughed it off as he didn't scare her.

They finally got to Pops and Jughead parked the Jeep. She climbed out of the passenger side and was met with Jughead waiting for her. He reached out for her hand and laced their fingers together. They smiled at Pop as they went and sat at a booth near the back of the Chocklit Shop.

Pop came over to take their order, Betty ordered only a vanilla milkshake while Jughead ordered a strawberry milkshake with a hamburger. Betty laughed as Pop walked again. "You're always hungry." She said smiling at the raven-haired boy across from her.

Jughead smiled. "I gotta fuel up for what I have planned for us after we get back to the Wyrm." He raised his eyebrows as he smiled at her. The pair thanked Pop as he brought over their milkshakes and Jughead's burger and fries. They were smiling at one an other over the table as Betty told Jughead about her classes and how she thought it would be an easy school year when her face dropped as she watched Archie walk in with Veronica and some of the football team.

"Archie, Veronica and some of the football team is here." She said when she saw his concerned look. He turned and looked over his shoulder and sighed.

He reached over and grabbed onto Betty's hand. "They can't do anything to you. You already stood up to Veronica, don't let anything they try to say to you bother you." He said as he took another bite of his burger.

Betty heard Veronica ask Archie to just leave them alone but she watched as Archie and his football friends walk up to their table glaring at Jughead.

"Hey Serpent scum, this is a Northsider restaurant. No scum allowed." The red-haired male said with venom in his voice. His eyes flicked to his once girlfriend before turning back to Jughead.

Jughead chuckled as he ate more of his burger ignoring Archie, which then caused Archie's temper to rise. "I said you aren't welcomed here. So, get your shit together, and get out." Archie said as he loomed over Jughead's side of the table.

Betty watched as Pop eyed their table and she gave Jughead a pleading look. She had finished her milkshake and she didn't want Pop to call Sheriff Keller because Jughead would get in trouble over Archie. Before Archie could attempt to rile Jughead up any further, Jughead turned his attention to the younger male. "Last time I checked, I'm a paying customer so I can go wherever I want. And I'm pretty sure this is Pop's place, not yours so you can't tell me I can't be here. So, continue on your way and leave us alone. I don't want trouble, I'm just trying to have a milkshake with my girlfriend."

Archie's fist clenched as Jughead referred to Betty as his girlfriend. "By girlfriend you mean my sloppy seconds. Hopefully she puts out better for you than she did for me." He responded to Jughead in hopes that he would react. To his surprise, Betty placed squeezed onto Jughead's hand and glared at Archie.

"For your information Arch, he is far better in bed than you were so it isn't hard to want to do anything with him unlike the two-pump chump that you were. Now, if you'll excuse us we will be leaving because if Jughead isn't welcomed here, neither am I." She said as she got out of the booth and pulled 'Jughead out of his side. She gave Pop a smile and thanked him for the milkshakes as Jughead handed the owner some bills, purposely giving him extra for the trouble Archie tried to cause.

Jughead froze when he heard Archie say, "What the hell has gotten into you Betty?"

The pair stopped and turned to face Archie. Without missing a beat Jughead replied, "That would be me." With one last smirk, they walked out of the ChockLit Shoppe and to the Jeep. As they pulled away, Betty looked back and saw Veronica yelling at Archie outside of Pop's and she couldn't stop herself from the laugh that followed.

They drove in comfortable silence until they reached the Whyte Wyrm. As they got out of the car, Betty grabbed her backpack and followed Jughead through the Wyrm and up to his apartment. She placed her backpack on the kitchen table as she watched Jughead take off his beanie and run his fingers through his hair.

"I don't get how you dated that asshole for three years." He said as he threw his hat onto the kitchen table so it landed next to her backpack.

Betty walked over him and ran her fingers through his hair and felt him relax under her touch. "I was blind by what I thought I had to do. He was the star football player and I just had to be the role of perfect cheerleader. I just accepted that he was like that because I thought I was in love. Clearly I was an idiot." She tilted his head so he would look at her. "He's not what I want and I honestly have no idea what I saw in him."

Instead of replying, Jughead grabbed Betty by the hips and pulled her body against his connecting their lips at the same time. Quickly their clothing found its way to the floor and Jughead swiftly entered Betty as he pressed her back against the wall. They clung to each other as Jughead thrust into her as hard as he could without causing her pain.

Betty arched her back off the wall as she felt herself growing closer to the end. "Juggie, please. I'm so close." She moaned as she felt Jughead slip out of her. Her eyes opened as he fell to his knees on the floor and brought her leg over his shoulder. A moan left Betty's lips as Jughead's mouth connected with her bundle of nerves. She grabbed onto his hair as he continued to lick, suck and bite the nerve. Her head slammed against the wall as she screamed as she came. Before she recovered from her orgasm, Jughead lifted her into his arms and thrust back into her going harder and faster than before. His hand slipped between them as his thumb attacked her clit again opening to make her cum faster.

Her nails dug into his back as they both came. Jughead's thrusts slowed down as he came and bit her neck while he huskily moaned, "mine" into her ear. He carried them to the couch as their bodies stuck together from sweating. As they lay on the couch trying to catch their breath, Betty kissed Jughead's shoulder.

"Juggie." She said looking up to him. "I know you called me your girl today, but I just want to let you know that you've made me happier over the last few months than I have been in years." She gave him a smile before returning her head to his shoulder. Jughead ended up falling asleep with Betty on top of him, so she slowly moved off of him, grabbed her underwear and one of his sweatshirts that was thrown onto the coffee table. She went over to his kitchen table, opened her backpack and began on her homework for the evening.

Jughead woke up a little while later and grabbed his boxers off the floor. He looked around the quiet apartment and smiled when he saw Betty sitting at the kitchen table doing work. He walked over to her and kissed the top of his head. "Are you staying here tonight?" He asked as he rubbed her shoulders.

Betty turned her attention up to him. "Is that okay?" She asked with worried tone. She basically lived at his apartment lately and she was always nervous that she was overstaying her welcome. She relaxed when he smiled at her and nodded. "You're welcome here whenever you want, for however long you want Betts. I love having you here." He replied kissing the top of her head again.

Jughead walked into the kitchen and started to look in the cabinets and refrigerator to figure out what they could have for dinner. He turned to look at Betty who was hard at work and he quickly tasked himself with cooking her dinner. Although all he had was pasta and jarred sauce, he wanted to take care of her. So, as she did her homework, he cooked the pasta and put sauce on it before she even noticed. When he placed a plate in front of her, he was greeted with a smile.

Betty pushed her classwork out of the way as she thanked him for cooking. They ate as they made small talk about what they had to do over the week. Jughead couldn't tell Betty about his Serpent business, but Betty had grown to accept that she wasn't allowed to know what the Serpents did as she was not one of them. She knew it was to keep her safe and because only Serpents could only know Serpent business.

She also felt comfortable with Jughead and in his apartment for the first time since she could remember, so she decided to accept that she couldn't know that part of him. She was happy knowing what he could tell her, and sitting at the kitchen with him joking about small things was right where she felt like she had to be.
