You Know Where I Am- Archie Andrews (3)

Part 1 / Part 2

Summery: Your eyes are firmly set on a certain dark haired boy not realizing who was your perfect match all along. Its only when you finally pull your eyes from him it’s when you see who is really there for you and who you really feel for.

You had been walking around aimlessly for at least an hour and you had no idea why your feet had brought you here. You stood between the two houses debating on which one to choose. On one hand you had a close friend who you could tell anything to but at times tended to be a little too over sympathetic. Not what you needed right now. On the other you had someone you weren’t at all that close to but had gone through this before, and someone you knew you could trust.

You sighed turning and walking up the drive way and stopping at the door. You hand reached out to knock like it had before and you heard footsteps inside. The man standing in front of you seemed surprised to see you. You smiled slightly. ‘Y/n, I wasn’t expecting you’ You nodded. ‘I’m sorry, I just needed some place else to be’ The older man in front of you smiled and stepped aside. ‘Come on in, you know where to go’ You nodded stepping in out of the cold into the warm house.

You smiled down at him as you made your way up the stairs. You knocked on the door and waited a second. ‘Come in’ A voice came from behind the door. You slowly opened it and cleared your throat when you seen a bare back to you. Your eyes ran over the defined muscles that tensed slightly under the tanned skin.

Archie jumped and turned. ‘I’m sorry’ You looked away from his torso, but you had to admit, he was pretty ripped. ‘It’s fine’ He waved you off glancing around for a top. ‘I-I’m sorry I’m here. I just-I didn’t know where else to come’ Archie stopped looking and turned his attention to you when he heard the tremble in your voice. ‘What’s up?’ He asked softly as you stepped into the room closing the door. ‘You know the way you said if I ever needed to talk?’ He nodded and you bit your lip.

You took a deep breath. ‘My parents were in couples counselling today, that’s why I couldn’t go to Pops. My Mom’s been cheating on my Dad with some CEO from some business in New York and he’s trying to work through it’ The words flowed out without you even thinking and Archie’s eyes widened. ‘She doesn’t want to though. She wants to leave. I heard them talking the other day, they didn’t know I was home. She just wants to leave with him and divorce my Dad. And us, she doesn’t even want to any kind of custody of us’ You looked up from your feet as Archie made his way towards you. ‘I’m sorry’ He whispered and you shrugged.

He reached out and took your hands. ‘But, I promise you, I’m here for you’ You smiled slightly. ‘And you’re one of the strongest people I know Y/n, you’ll make it through this’ You pulled your hands from his and wrapped your arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around your waist hugging you to him. ‘I needed to get that off my chest, thank you’ You muttered. ‘I needed some place to go that wasn’t home’ Archie pulled away from you with a smile.

He nodded. ‘I understand, come on, sit down and we’ll talk about it’ He let go of you and began to walk back over to his bed. ‘Arch’ You whispered and he turned around raising his eyebrows. ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ Your eyes dropped to the floor. ‘I want to forget about it, completely. It’s all I can think about. I need to forget’ You stepped closer to him and he nodded. ‘Okay’ You smiled.

He gestured towards the TV. ‘You still like video games?’ He smirked and you nodded eagerly. He beamed and stepped around you. You reached out and grabbed his arm. He looked down at you his eyes meeting yours. ‘Thank you’ You whispered. ‘And, I’m sorry for just barging in here’ He nodded again a faint smile on his lips. ‘You’re always welcome’ He whispered back just as quiet.

You smiled slightly as silence filled the room. Then Archie’s hand was on the back of your neck and you stumbled forwards as he pulled you to him his body moving to face yours. Then he leaned down and pressed his lips to yours. You didn’t know what to do, Archie was kissing you. This was not what you were expecting when you walked through that door, but maybe it was what you needed. You reached out your arm draping over his shoulders and fingers tangling in his hair as you kissed him back.

It wasn’t until a second later that you pulled away pushing Archie back slightly. ‘Betty’ You whispered you mind falling to your friends feelings for the boy. Archie just shook his head. ‘We sorted that out’ He muttered before his lips found yours again as he pressed himself to you. You let out a soft sigh letting yourself melt back into the kiss. It was a long time since you had gotten this kind of jitters, from anyone and it felt nice, it felt nice to be wanted, to want someone who wanted you, to have someone to hold and who would hold you.

Your arms tightened around his shoulders and you felt his hands run down your sides before stilling when the reached the tops of your thighs. You felt him crouch a little and you jumped slightly letting him catch your weight as you wrapped your legs around his bare waist. ‘We shouldn’t’ You muttered as he straightened and walked towards the bed.

But that didn’t stop you from tightening your arms around him, and his hand from gripping your thighs and his other hand tangling in your hair. You groaned your hips rolling against his. He let out a breathy moan his lips detaching from yours and pressing firmly against your chin. ‘Arch-Arch’ Your hand tapped his shoulder. ‘I-I can’t’ He pulled away from you his eyes finding yours. ‘I can’t do that to Betty, she-how she feels about you, and the way she reacted to Veronica and you’ He sighed. ‘And Jughead’ He muttered climbing off you and sitting on the edge of the bed. You sat up and placed your hand on his shoulder.

He glanced back at you. ‘No’ You breathed. ‘Not the way you’re thinking anyway’ He chuckled and smiled at you slightly. ‘How about that video game?’ He asked and you smiled at him nodding and you both moved to the end of the bed. 

Your head lulled a little and you jerked up. Betty glanced at you again as you both sat in the student lounge before class started. ‘You’ve been falling asleep since you got here’ She observed. ‘Couldn’t sleep last night’ She gave you a sympathetic look and she smiled slightly. ‘Not what you think, I just had a lot of energy Bets’ You chuckled and she nodded not exactly convinced. ‘Hey Betty’ She raised her eyebrows at your questioning tone.

You took a small breath. ‘How are you? With Archie I mean?’ You bit your lip waiting for her answer as she paused considering your question. ‘We’re good, I mean I’ve realized we weren’t going to work’ She paused a slight blush on her lips. ‘And I mean, I think I’ve moved on slightly, I don’t feel how I used to feel around him and I-I kind of feel something with someone else, something stronger’ Your ears pricked up. ‘You have feelings for someone else?’ She chuckled. ‘I don’t exactly know. I think so but-’ You let out a laugh. ‘You don’t have to give me any names Bets’ She relaxed a little.

You raised an eyebrow. ‘I dont want to jinx it, like what happened with Archie. People knew and-’ You nodded. ‘I get it, I do. But there’s only so much you can guard yourself Betty, you deserve someone who will look after you like you look after everyone else’ You bit your lip slightly ‘And it doesn’t matter about anyone else, once they know’ She smiled at you and chuckled. ‘Thank you’ You shrugged slightly leaning back in the chair.

She watched you as you closed your eyes. ‘Are Veronica and Kevin right?’ You heard her ask timidly. You furrowed your eyebrows. ‘About what?’ You let out a chuckle opening an eye and giving her a sly smirk, you both knew how many little theories the two of them had. ‘Jughead’ She whispered leaning forwards. You froze a second and then opened your other eye. ‘About me and him?’ She nodded. ‘On that one they’re wrong, there’s nothing going on between me and Jug’ You told her, really you weren’t lying, there wasn’t.

She nodded. ‘Do you have feelings for him?’ She probed further. ‘I love him Bets, as a friend. But I have no other feelings for him, no’ You shook your head. You felt bad lying to her but one person knowing about your unrequited crush on Jughead was enough. You didn’t want all your friends knowing. Betty just nodded leaning back in her seat and picking up her book again. You leaned your head back against the couch and closed your eyes again.

You jumped awake as a bell rang pulling you from your sleep. ‘Woah’ You heard a chuckle from above you and you glanced up to see the red-haired boy you had only seen hours before. You sat up straight lifting your head from his shoulder. ‘Eh? When?’ You glanced around when you heard someone chuckle. Veronica sat beside Betty a smile on her face. ‘Sleeping beauty decided to wake up’ You stuck your tongue out at her. ‘You just sort of cuddled into me when I sat down’ Archie chuckled. You shrugged and smoother your already smooth hair. ‘Well, you know, I like warmth. I like warm’ Jughead grunted from the armchair as he looked at you both from over his open laptop.

You looked around. ‘What time is it?’ You asked. ‘Chemistry time’ Archie said and your eyes widened. ‘Darn it’ Your eyes widened and hurried to gather up your stuff holding them to your chest. ‘I gotta go’ You stood stepping over Archie. ‘Bye’ You called as you rushed out of the room praying your weren’t late to class.

They all watched you leave frantically trying to balance the books in your arms as you skid around the door. Ronnie chuckled and shook her head, she would never understand your drive when it came to school. Or your drive on the track team. ‘Man, what have I told you’ Jughead snapped at Archie and they all looked back at him. Archie furrowed his brows. ‘She was the one that curled up into me Jug’ Archie shrugged leaning back. ‘I don’t care yo-’ With that Archie stood up. ‘Jug if she happens to fall asleep on me that’s not my fault’ He snapped. ‘I wasn’t going to wake her up, she needed sleep. Why don’t you get out of your laptop and pay attention to her?’ He grabbed his bag shrugging it onto his shoulder as his friends sat eyes wide eyes fluttering between the two boys.

Archie narrowed his eyes. ‘And Jughead, just because I’m a Jock doesn’t mean I’d do anything to hurt her. Or anyone else’ He snapped and Jughead put his laptop aside standing. ‘You go around like it’s a competition to get the most girls to fall for you. I’m saying leave her out of it’ Jughead glared at his friend. ‘I wouldn’t hurt her’ Archie growled stepping closer. 

Betty stood up standing between the two boy. ‘Okay, please, stop’ She raised her voice looking between the two. ‘I’m being a good friend not trying to get her into bed. I’m there for her because you hurt her feelings’ Archie snapped. ‘You didn’t think about her before you spoke and you hurt her. I just want her to have someone who wont, that’s all’ Archie turned and stalked away leaving his friends in silence and frozen. After a moment Jughead grabbed his stuff and left Betty running after him.

You Know Where I Am- Archie Andrews (4)

Part1 / Part2 / Part3

Summery: Your eyes are firmly set on a certain dark haired boy not realizing who was your perfect match all along. Its only when you finally pull your eyes from him it’s when you see who is really there for you and who you really feel for.

‘Y/n’ You stopped hearing your name being called and turned. Jughead was running towards you. It was the end of the day and a Thursday, meaning you had trace at lunch and you hadn’t gotten to talk to him all day. You stopped and held your books closer to your chest. ‘What’s up Juggie?’ You asked when he stopped in front of you panting a little. ‘Where you heading?’ He asked and you smiled. ‘Home?’ Raising an eyebrow with a laugh. Jughead smiled. ‘Let me walk you home’ You nodded turning and he followed.

It was silent for a few moments until he sighed. ‘I’m sorry’ He said looking down and you glanced at him. ‘For what?’ You asked him cocking your head to the side. ‘For hurting your feelings yesterday’ You opened your mouth to disagree but he just shook his head. ‘Archie told me don’t’ He sighed. ‘I didn’t mean it like that, I mean you are pretty, I can see that and you are an amazing person’ He paused taking a small breath. ‘But you’re my best friend’ He shrugged. You bit your lip.

He watched you for a moment waiting for your reply. ‘Betty liked Archie’ You told him not looking at him, you pursed your lips a unsettling feeling settling in your stomach at your words. Jughead chuckled but it ended quickly with a sigh. ‘Hasn’t everyone fell for Archie at some stage’ You glanced at him. ‘I didn’t’ He nodded and a large smile spread across him face when he looked down at you. ‘Good’ He nodded and reached out wrapping his arm around your shoulder and you leaned into him.

He fell silent for a second. ‘I am sorry, I did not mean it like that. You’re perfect, I just-’ You nodded wanting him to just stop. ‘I get it, you know I’m a catch just not your kinda fish’ You chuckled and he let out a loud laugh and nodded. ‘And I’m sorry if I made you feel bad’ You nodded and leaned into him. ‘It’s okay Juggie, I’m over it’ Jughead nodded and the rest of the walk.

Jughead stopped at the bottom of the steps and you kissed his cheek. ‘Bye Juggie, thanks for walking me home’ You called running up the steps to your house. ‘Why did you not say anything? Why did you go to Archie?’ He called just as you were about to step in the door. You turned. ‘Archie came to me’ You said with a shrug. ‘And it was nice to hear those things from someone other than my best friend’ You chuckled with a small smile. Jughead narrowed his eyes. ‘Hear what?’ He stepped up onto the bottom step readjusting his bag on his shoulder. ‘Just what you said really, nothing more. He was trying to make me feel better, no biggie’ You gave him a smiled and he nodded slowly. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow Jug, I’ve got to study’ You told him and he said a quiet goodbye as you slipped inside.

The only sound you heard was your footsteps on the pavement and your heavy breathing. It was almost midnight and you had finished study about an hour ago and had some extra energy. Which was why you were running around Riverdale at midnight. Your breath fogged up the air in front of you as you panted. ‘Y/n’ You heard your name being called and you slowed slightly glancing over your shoulder.

You caught sight of red hair following you bright in even the darkness of the night. You slowed to a stop and turned when you realized who it was. It took him a few seconds to come to a stop in front of you panting he bent forward slightly. You smiled. ‘You okay there Archibald?’ He gave you a quick glare looking up at you through his long lashes before shooting you a large smile. ‘You should give the football team running lessons, damn’ He straightened and you laughed you rested your hands on your hips.

Your eyes fell to his chest again trailing down his arms that were prominent as he wore a shirtless top. ‘Well, I’m built for endurance you’re built for strength’ You smirked and you Archie smiled looking at your outfit. ‘You’re certainly looking very aerodynamic there’ He chuckled his eyes trailing over the exposed skin. If you weren’t already flushed you were sure you would have blushed bright red as you glanced down at your own outfit.

It was some short tight running shorts that only just covered your ass, a sports bra and a loose running top which had long arms meaning you could see in the sides down to the bottom of your ribs. ‘Big word for a jock’ You teased trying to cover up how flustered his comment made you. He laughed. ‘Hey, I’m not complaining. Just don’t wear it in school us jocks won’t be able to concentrate on the football’ You chuckled as he smiled widely at you.

You turned and he fell into step with you as you both walked down the pathway. ‘So what are you doing out so late Andrews?’ You asked him crossing your arms over your chest and he shrugs. ‘Out to clear my head’ He tells you. ‘Anything you want to talk about?’ You ask him.

He’s silent for a minute his eyes on your flushed face as you look ahead deciding on whether or not to actually tell you.‘You wont tell anyone?’ He should trust you, after all you trusted him, you came to him when you needed someone. Maybe you could be that person for him. Your head snaps to the side your eyes meeting his. ‘Of course I wouldn’t’ You smile reassuringly at him.

You watch as he takes a deep breath. ‘The reason Miss Grundy left was because of me’ He mutters. ‘We had a thing over the summer and Betty’s Mom found out and threatened to have her sent to jail, so she left’ You felt your eyes widen and your jaw fall open. Archie came to a stop in front of you as you kept your eyes on him. ‘You were sleeping with a teacher?’ You breathed and he nodded. ‘Holy shit’ You cursed blinking hardly being able to believe it.

Archie reached out and placed his hand on your shoulder and you shivered a little. ‘You can’t tell anyone’ He whispered and you nodded violently. ‘I promise’ You reached up putting your hand on his slightly. ‘I won’t tell anyone’ He smiled down at you slightly. ‘Do you miss her?’ You asked tentatively your head cocking to the side a little. He nodded and dropped his hand from your shoulder. ‘A little, but I think I’m starting to move on’ He smiled widely down at you.

You nodded. ‘Well, that’s good’ You smiled back at him. ‘Let’s get you home, you’re shivering a little’ He said wrapping his arm around your shoulder pulling you into his body as he turned. You hadn’t even noticed you were beginning to feel the nip in the air until he said so and then it was the only thing you could feel. Well apart from Archie beside you and the heat radiating off of him. You snuggled in closer to him wrapping your arms around yourself. ‘It would be easier to just run’ You chuckled. ‘It would’ You looked up to see him nodding but neither of you moved from the position you were in and stayed walking.

After Archie had walked you home last night you had showered and went to bed, content and tired, only thing was, you overslept. Now you were rushing through students to get to your first class, Calc. Just as you ran through the door you heard the bell ring and you let out a long sigh before your eyebrows furrowed. You made your way to your desk and put down your books. Your chair was already pulled out and you slid into it. ‘You know me and Jug are okay now?’ You raised your eyebrows.

Archie chuckled and nodded. ‘I know’ He nodded with a smile.’ But you break this down so much better than Betty that I’ve decided I’m taking his seat’ He shot you a playful smirk his arm draping over the back of your chair. ‘Plus they were so engrossed in their Blue and Gold conversation it would have been a shame to split them up’ You chuckled and leaned your elbows on the table leaning closer to him. ‘And what if I don’t want you sitting here Andrews?’ You smirked back at him. He leaned in his face inches from your own. ‘You’re stuck with me’ He whispered and you were about to say something witty back, you hoped, when your teacher walked in calling your attention to the top of the class.

You had finished your work and were leaning over helping Archie. You stopped mid sentence and just looked up at him. ‘Okay, what is it Arch? You are completely distracted today’ You accused and his head snapped towards you. He sighed leaning closer. ‘I’m meeting with Oscar Castillo later today again with some music’ You smiled. ‘That’s a good thing, right?’ But you seen the doubt in his eyes and he looked down. ‘I don’t know’ He shrugged. ‘He must have liked you if he wants to see you again Archie’ You put your hand on his arm. ‘You’re passionate, just let him see that Arch’ Arch put his own hand on yours. ‘Thank you’ He smiled looking at you and you smiled back.

You were waiting in the hallway with Valerie. ‘How do you think he’ll so?’ You asked. She looked up at you and smiled slightly at you. ‘The song is good, hopefully he will see his potential’ You leaned back against the lockers biting your lip and closed your eyes. ‘Since when have you and Archie been close? I mean he always mentioned you but I never thought you were close’ You opened your eyes.

For some reason your felt happiness spread through you. ‘Well, we actually weren’t very close until, well a few days ago. But I mean of course he’d mention me we were friends before we got closer’ Valerie nodded a smirk on her face. ‘Well that is true’ The door opened down the hallway and both your heads snapped towards it. Archie came out shaking and shook Castillo’s hand before he turned down the hallway walking towards the door. You waited until he was around the corner to push yourself off the locker and rush towards Archie.

Valerie reached him first. ‘What did he think?’ Archie turned and you both knew instantly from his expression. Sadness overwhelmed you at the crushed look in his eyes. ‘Sloppy and repetitive’ He muttered his eyes on the floor. ‘Oh, Arch’ He just shook his head. You reached out your hand resting on his shoulder. You tugged on his pulling him to you. You wrapped both your arms around him standing on your tippy toes to hug him tighter as on of your hands slipped into his hair. You felt his arms wrap around your waist and he buried his face in your shoulder.

Valerie reached out patting his back. ‘It’s okay Archie, you’re only starting out, they’ll evolve’ You glanced at her smiling gratefully and she nodded before saying her goodbyes and leaving you two standing in the hallway your arms around each other. ‘She’s right Arch, you have a natural talent. It’ll take time to polish it up, and maybe now isn’t the time for a mentor, maybe this is the universes way of saying you need to figure it out on your own, no influences. Just you in your music’ Archie pulled away his hands coming to rest on your hips.

He smiled slightly down at you. ‘What if without anyone’s help they’re terrible?’ He whispered. You smiled. ‘Let them be, let them be as terrible as they want. If you try hard enough the next one will be better, slightly less terrible. Until one day you write something that isn’t. That’s how it works’ You placed your hand on his cheek. ‘No one is the best first try, not even the people who end up being the best. They all start somewhere, but they always keep trying, and going until they are. With time and practice comes improvement, you just need to keep going. You’ll get there. I promise’ He smiled down at you.

Then he looked at the floor. ‘You can’t promise th-’ You let out a laugh. ‘Of course I can, You’re talented anyone can see that. You have a natural talent. I can promise that, and I’ll be right’ You smiled forcing him to look back up at you. ‘You’re only doing this a few month Archie, give yourself time to find where you should be, what kind of thing works for you. Give yourself time to grow into it and when you do you’re music will be more amazing than it already is’ You smiled at him.

Archie watched you for a long moment before he leaned forwards pulling you to him his lips attaching to yours again. This time you didn’t hesitate to respond.
