Well, this was a fun one to write! I think that these two may be a little bit OOC, but, I figure that they would have their own dynamic after a while :D Enjoy!

Take me anywhere, everywhere, away from here

"Please," Sweet Pea gasped out, flat on his back. "Please, Ruby." His voice was strained and he looked to be in physical pain. "No more."

"Just a little longer." The girl shot back from her seat at her desk. The tall biker groaned, rising from her bed and glaring at her back.

"No more or my brain will explode," he said in a warning tone. They had been in her room for hours. Sweet Pea understood that finals were important. He got the fact that Ruby wanted to pass with excellent grades. He was also fully on board with him taking junior year material with her. However, enough was enough. Over six hours without a single break except for the bathroom or more snacks were killing him. He needed to get out of the damned room he'd been so eager to get into. He'd even stopped obsessing over the fact that he was sprawled on her bed, quite invitingly. After all, Ruby was too focused on memorizing biology terms and definitions to notice the temptation. Or, she wasn't interested. Sweet Pea chose not to go down that road. "Let's go downstairs and play with Chili for a bit. Half an hour," She shot a glare over her shoulder, muttering a definition. "Okay, ten minutes. Please, Ruby, for God's sake!"

"Oh my God, would you let me finish this already!" She yelled then, before swiveling her chair around and closer to her table, her back to him. "I need five more minutes and then we can do something else for a bit." Sweet Pea groaned and let himself fall back on the bed, knowing that it wouldn't be five minutes.

Ruby didn't mess around when it came to studying. Unfortunately for him, that meant that he was forced into being cooped up with her stressed out self for the whole day in her room, hearing her mutter and repeat or helping her revise by quizzing her. Sweet Pea didn't know half of the material she'd already memorized, but that didn't bother him. They still had a week or so before the exam. He had time. Ruby, though, thought that she needed to know everything then and there.

Sweet Pea checked his phone, seeing that only two minutes had passed since Ruby's latest promise. He made himself busy, scrolling through his social media and then finally closing his eyes, deciding to get some shuteye if nothing else. He wasn't sure if he'd managed to fall asleep or not. Sweet Pea was shaken from his wandering thoughts and peaceful position when he felt a weight on his midsection. His eyes opened to find Ruby's face above him.

"I'm done for now." She promised, smiling softly down at him. But, she looked worse for wear. Her long hair was in a really messy bun on the top of her head and her eyes had dark circles underneath them from the lack of sleep. She seemed beyond tired to him.

"Good," Sweet Pea sighed out. "Come here." His arms opened invitingly and Ruby dropped down from her previous spot, still straddling his midsection. Her head fell under his chin, just a bit to the side, how she loved it. The faint scent of her conditioner wafted from her hair, reminding Sweet Pea of the time she'd slept next to him in that very same bed just a few days ago, passed out from exhaustion. Ruby Wolfe was a beast when it came to finals. A demon straight from hell. But, Sweet Pea wasn't afraid of demons. He embraced her small frame gently and trailed his fingers up and down her back, making her hum in pure bliss.

"I'm sorry I'm such a pain." Ruby sighed into his neck, making gooseflesh break out all over his skin. Sweet Pea suddenly felt very warm.

"You're not," he assured her. "You just need a small break, shortcake." Ruby's head rose, leaving his neck feeling all too cold despite the warm weather.

"What do you have in mind?" There was the Ruby he knew well and loved dearly. A girl always looking for an adventure with childish glee, never minding the Serpent symbol on his neck or back. Sweet Pea grinned.

"Just a little something," and he pushed himself up, moving the girl to have her sit on the bed, where she just flopped over like a ragdoll. He shook his head before going over to her wardrobe. "Here," Sweet Pea took a bit of time finding where her shirts and pants were, using his iron will not to stay too long in her underwear drawer because she was in no state to protest. He grabbed the first pair of jeans he saw and a shirt he'd seen her wear a number of times. That meant she liked it. Good. "Get these on." The clothes hit the space next to the girl, making her look up tiredly.

"No, Sweet Pea, I don't want to function like a proper human being!" She complained. "Let me lie here for the rest of the day." While there was certainly something about her in her baby doll PJs sprawled over her bed, Sweet Pea wouldn't take no for an answer then. He already had a plan and he was intent on making it a reality.

"C'mon," the biker pulled the petite girl's limp body up into a seated position with little trouble. "Hands up like at a rave." Ruby obliged, her arms rising over her head in a sluggish motion.

"I've never been to a rave." She confessed as he slid the top of her pajamas up and over her head, leaving her in a sports bra. Ruby didn't even move to cover herself, which only confirmed Sweet Pea's suspicions of her being beyond tired.

"I'm sure that Toni and Fangs will be happy to take you to one." He helped her slip on the shirt with only a small fumble to get her arms into the proper holes.

"You don't want to take me?" She was smirking up at him from her seat. Sweet Pea knelt in front of her, tucking his thumbs into the waistline of her PJ bottoms.

"Maybe. It's not really my scene." Ruby rose a bit to let him slide the clothing off before he helped her into the jeans he'd found.

"Why do I get the feeling you only go to rock concerts?" She swatted his hands away when the jeans got to her thighs in a clear sign of recovery. Sweet Pea pulled the girl up to stand and watched her shimmy the pants the rest of the way up, buttoning them.

"Your feeling is wrong." He didn't offer anything else. Telling her that she'd hooked him onto some of the catchier rap artists wasn't a secret he was willing to share yet. Sweet Pea offered the girl his hand and she took it immediately, their fingers interlocking. He led her down the stairs, stopping only for a second for the both of them to slip some shoes on, and then they were gone.

Sweet Pea knew that Ruby liked riding behind him on his bike. He had noticed the way she'd stopped being reluctant to get on it over time. He had also realized that she asked him to let her drive them around in her Mustang less and less. By the way she grabbed the spare helmet without hesitation and held onto his waist loosely, he knew that she liked the ride more than she was willing to let on. That day was no exception.

As Sweet Pea drove to a place Ruby wasn't familiar with, she let go of his back, making him throw his arm behind to hold her instantly. She patted his shoulders in reassurance before he saw her throw her arms up in the air, head back and stray hairs whipping around wildly. Sweet Pea couldn't stop glancing at her reflection in the mirror, the smile on her face positively huge and infectious. Ruby was the kind of girl who enjoyed riding on the back of a Serpents' motorcycle with her arms up and head back, whooping with joy. And, it was positively infectious. Sweet Pea couldn't resist teasing her a bit. He hit the breaks lightly, making her slam into his hard body, before revving the bike and speeding up. Then, her giggle of joy was directly in his ear as her arms hugged him around his neck tightly. She was standing, the boy realized. The crazy girl was actually standing behind him on the bike, straddling it. They both ignored the numerous odd looks they got from the Northside residents as they whooshed through the streets and onto the highway.

Sweet Pea didn't stop until he got to one of his favorite spots. It was a ride which took them on the highway, a little out of town, and down a road lined with non-deciduous trees. Finally, after a little over thirty minutes, he took a left and parked his bike on a small rest stop at the side of the road. Without many cars on the highway, it was quite peaceful out there.

"We're here." Sweet Pea told his companion, offering his hand to help her get off the motorcycle. Ruby eagerly took her helmet off, leaving it beside his on the bike and letting the tall teen take her towards the edge. There was a single bench there, overlooking the scenery in front of them. The whole town of Riverdale could be seen underneath, houses huddled together on the Northside and old buildings rising up on the Southside.

"Will you believe me if I say that I've already been here?" Ruby asked, plopping down on the bench. Sweet Pea joined her, his arm swinging around her shoulders and bringing her closer to him almost instinctively.

"You can't pop my bubble like that and leave me with no context, munchkin." He spoke in a rumble. But, they both knew that it was just a teasing jab, instead of his usual disgruntled comments. So, Ruby launched into a story of how she'd picked up her best friend, Mattie, from the airport and they'd stopped at that particular spot to eat some food, sit on the hood of her car and sing along to some ridiculous pop songs which came on the radio. Sweet Pea instantly demanded that they take her car next time, in order to sit on the hood like that together and Ruby agreed, giggling.

Evening came before either of them noticed. With their cell phones left under the seat of his bike, they had ignored all the texts and calls, enjoying the peace of sitting under the warm sun rays which came in between the treetops instead. As Sweet Pea got ready to take Ruby back home, probably for some more stressing about finals, he realized that they hadn't exchanged a single kiss during their time there and that he hadn't minded one bit. In fact, he felt closer to Ruby than he had in months.

"Hey," Sweet Pea stopped the girl before she could take the helmet and get on the bike to go back home. She turned, a questioning expression on her face. Sweet Pea reached behind her head to the small hairband which held her bun and pulled it. Dark brown, slightly wavy, locks spilled from the top of her head, cascading over her shoulders and down her back. They were a mess, sticking up in odd angles and creating a curtain of soft, conditioner smelling chocolate. But, even when she tried to tame down the parts which had twisted awkwardly, she looked beautiful to him. Sweet Pea leaned down and kissed her lips quickly, only for him, and pulled away before she could return the affection. "Your hair definitely looks better when it's down." He told her before grabbing his own helmet as if they hadn't just had a moment.

"Oh, you gigantor of a dork." Ruby grabbed his forearms and pushed herself up to engage in a slightly longer kiss before they headed back home. Needless to say, Jo wasn't happy about his daughter getting dropped off by a biker after hours of ignoring his calls.

That's all for now folks!
