Riverdale One Shot

Your parents had left you and your boyfriend Jughead to watch the house whilst they went on a trip for the weekend to visit your great aunt Ethel who was ill. You were glad that they trusted you as you honestly loved having time just you and Jughead with no need to socialise with anyone other than him. If your parents had been home over the weekend they would have conveniently popped in every five minutes to just check in on you and maybe leave a condom or too along with slipping in a sex education lesson wherever they could. However, without them there, you and Jughead could watch movies and eat pizza in your pyjamas without them suggesting there was more to what was going on than what was.

The two of you had finished the rather sizeable bowl of popcorn that you'd gotten for the film you were watching so due to losing a rock paper scissors game you had to go get more. You grabbed another packet of popcorn and went to put it into the microwave, but your eyes drifted to what was perched above it. On the wall behind the microwave was a spider, and not just a spider one that certainly put fear into your heart.

You dropped the popcorn and let out a loud scream of fear. You knew it was irrational to fear spiders, where you lived it was rare for there to be one that could do you harm and honestly, they were just creatures many times smaller than you but that didn't make it any easier.

Jughead moved in the lounge until he poked his head around the corner of the kitchen door to see you stood frozen in fear. He noticed the arachnid that you were having a stare off with. He rested a gentle hand on your shoulder, making you jump at the contact.

"Hey... hey... it's only me," he smiled softly.

You couldn't get any words out so simply raised a shaky finger to point at the spider.

"I know... I know... let me get it okay," he smiled softly.

Jughead leaned in to press a kiss to your cheek before he grabbed one of the many recipe books, hitting it against the wall squishing the spider.

A sigh of relief escaped you, knowing that your foe was no longer. Jughead quickly pulled your into a tight and firm embrace, kissing your hair.

"Don't worry, I'll always protect you," he said softly.

You smiled gently. "Thank you Jughead. Thank you for saving me from that thing."

He chuckled. "Anytime love."
