Y/N PoV
It has been a couple of grueling days since FP's confession. Jughead hasn't been doing the best so I've been staying with him as much as I can. It hurts to see him this heart broken and it's worse because I know I can't do anything.

I have my last trial to become a Serpent, and because FP is in jail, Tall Boy took over my initiation.

Veronica heard about my dance and helped me pick out some lingerie, it was embarrassing. We settled on a black one piece that looks, in Ronnie's words, super sexy and eye catching.

I didn't know how to do my makeup or hair so Veronica did it for me. "Are you nervous Y/N?"

"I'm doing a pole dance in front of a bunch of grown men and I have a boyfriend so nope." I say sarcastically.

"You will be fine," she continues on with a braid without pulling my hair too much, "Anyways, Jughead would love to see you with this on." V gestures to my outfit.

"He might but that doesn't mean I'll show him." She pulls tightly and I bite my lip to hide the pain.

She finishes my hair and moves to grab makeup,"Why not?"

"For one that would be embarrassing. Two, I'm not ready for this yet. I had my first kiss with him only months ago. Not to mention Archie would be upstairs."

"Oh whatever. Anyways, Y/I-ughead is the couple that will get married after high school." She applies the makeup focusing deeply on it.

I laugh, "So your already thinking about our wedding?"

"Yes girl! It's going to happen as long as I'm a bridesmaid." She smiles happily at her work, "You two are endgame. I even got Betty to agree."

"I don't believe that for a second. Even though she said she is happy we are dating, I can still see her feelings. She kissed Jug's cheek at the stupid party!"

Veronica does my eye makeup,"I agree. There does seem to be some kind of weird crush going on with her."

I smirk, "Enough about Betty. What's going on between you and Archie?"

"What do you mean?" She lies carefully.

I can see her lie easily, "Ronnie, I can tell something's going on. The way you guys look at each other. The unnecessary smirks, and don't forget how he touches your shoulder or hand randomly. You stayed after the party that night, something happened."

"Fine, I like Archie and he's made it clear he likes me back." V sets down the makeup making me think it's finally over but she grabs more. "We have also kissed a couple times. Archie is a damn good kisser."

"Ew, don't tell me about how good he is or whatever." I cringe, "Besides that, Archie has been looking at you with a certain happiness in his eyes for weeks. It would be so cool if you guys got married! We would be sisters-in-law."

"Wow wow wow, slow down tiger. We aren't officially dating. After what happened between Archie and Betty then afterwards with Jughead, it could ruin our friendship. Though being sisters-in-law would be really cool." She smirks and stares into space. Ronnie is totally thinking about Arch!

"It would be really cute. I'm here for Varchie."

Veronica laughs, "Maybe in the future," she spins me around to face the mirror, "But in the present, you are done!"

I look at myself in the mirror now seeing what she meant earlier about me being sexy. The makeup adds to the outfit and my hair matches super well. "I look amazing! Thank you so much Ronnie."

"It's no problem. I love to help and the girl-talk with you is so nice! We have to do it again soon." She begins to pick up the brushes to put them in her makeup bag.

"For sure!" I sigh, "I better be going."

She finishes picking her stuff up and nods, "Good luck! Call me after and please show Jughead this. I worked so hard." Veronica leaves with the biggest smirk I've seen.

I laugh then give myself one last glance in the mirror. Should I back out? If I do I'll look weak which is not my image should be as a Serpent.

I leave the Andrews' house trying to not draw attention to myself. Archie and Fred will not seeing me in this. I take Fred's truck to the Wyrm.

When I get inside, Tall Boy is sitting at the bar downing a beer. I walk over to him confidently, "Tall Boy. I'm ready so I'll go whenever."

"Ok then go now, Northside." He points to the empty pole in the corner.

I roll my eyes at the nickname, "Like right now?"

"Yes! Are you scared little Northside?" He takes a shot of tequila.

I scoff, "I'm not scared! I'll go right now. By the way, don't call me that." My nerves leave my stomach on the floor, where Tall Boy sits, and the rest of me walks onto the stage. Music starts playing as I do the dance on the pole. The men whistle and clap giving me some more bravery I was missing earlier.

I complete my dance as the music stops. Tall Boy comes up on stage with a jacket, "What do you all think? Serpent material?"

The crowd cheers loudly and I look at all of them until my eyes land on a certain beanie wearing boy. He claps slowly staring at me contently. I can't tell what he is thinking or how mad he is.

"Well then, I'd like to introduce you to our new Serpent, Northside!" Tall Boys yells over the clapping. I groan at him because I'm no longer Y/N to the Serpents. He hands me the jacket and I put it on, it fits me perfectly. The man leaves the stage. I get off it and make my way over to my boyfriend, "Hey."

"Hey." He says quietly.

"Look, I'm sorry. I had to do it to become a Serpent and I hated all those men looking at me like I'm some kind of..meat. I should've talked to you before hand." I zip the jacket up to try and cover me up more. It feels like I'm naked. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"I wanted to see you get made a Serpent. I just hate them staring at you like that." he takes a pause then unzips my new jacket with a smirk, "I should be mad but it's hard when you look like this."

I blush madly.

Jughead runs his hands up and down my waist. "You looked really sexy up there." He stares into my E/C eyes happily.

Somehow my face turns redder as he pulls me closer to him. "Can we go home? I would love some time, alone with you."

"Me too." Jughead leads me to Fred's car. He opens the door for me and gets in the passenger's seat. I begin to drive us home. "Y/N, just so your aware, Archie is home. Do you have clothes to cover up so it's not so..weird?"

"Nope." I sigh and turn onto another street, "Option one, I swing by Ronnie's and borrow an outfit. Option two, I just go in like this and hope he isn't in the kitchen. Though it would look bad if you came in with me and he would drag you upstairs."

"Let's go to Veronica's." He leans his hand on the center console. The car is silent besides from the music playing.

I start think about after we get home. I bite my lip then grab his and put it on my thigh, "I like your hand better here."

He gives me a smirk.

Soon I arrive at V's house and I run in fast so nobody sees me in my underwear and a Serpent jacket. That could get you in trouble. Luckily, I find her in her room. "I need to borrow any outfit you have."

She jumps, not expecting me, then gives me a smile, "Why and also how fancy?" Ronnie goes to her closet to pick me something out.

"Jughead was at the bar so he is bringing me home but Archie is there and it would be weird to walk in wearing this." I follow her, "Also not fancy if that's ok."

"It sure is. What did your Jughead say about the dance and outfit?" She has a smug smile with raised eyebrows. V hands me jeans and a plain black t-shirt.

My cheeks turn a shade of red, "He said I'm sexy." I change into the outfit.

"I knew it! He is so whipped. Anyways how is Jughead doing with his dad?"

I sigh, "Not the best. He is still broken in a way. Fred won't let him go to school and tomorrow he has to go in for questioning."

"That sucks but maybe what is under the jeans and shirt will distract him?" She hints with a smile.

"Get off of it V." I laugh, "Its not happening tonight. I'm not ready for it yet even though you say I am. Thank you for the outfit but I have to go."

"It's going to happen. Have fun with your man!"

I leave the room but pop my head back in, "I will." She laughs and I leave the house.

When I get back to the car Jughead is humming along to a song. "How did that go?"

"Good. All V talks about is for us to do it. She won't get off of it." I speak without thinking before hand. This got awkward so I turn back to the road and begin driving avoiding his eyes.

"As in 'it', you mean?"

"Yes..yes I do. She talks about it when it's just her and me." I turn onto the Andrew's street.

"Do you...uh want to do it with me?" He asks carefully as I pull into the driveway.

"Jughead, I do but not yet. I'm not.." I can't find the exact word for it, "..ready, I guess? It's just so soon and I had my first kiss with you only months ago. I do love making out but I don't know if I'm doing it right and I'm sorry-" he cuts me off with a kiss.

"Don't ever apologize for that. I understand because it's the same with me. I didn't want you to feel like we are rushing into this and how you felt about that in future," he smiles, "Also you are damn good at making out. I can't think straight when I think about it."

I smile back, "Thanks for understanding."

"It's no problem at all." He gets out of the car and walks over to open the door for me. "My lady." Jug says in a British accent.

"What a gentleman!" I also say it in my terrible accent. I jump out and wrap my arm around him, "Can we go kiss?"

"Yes we can!" Jughead picks me up and carries me into the house bridal style. Archie stops what he is doing in the kitchen and gives him a look. Jughead puts me down carefully.

"What are you two doing?" He asks stiffly.

"Going downstairs for a movie or two. How about you?" Jug wraps his arm back around me.

"Getting a snack." Archie keeps staring at us.

I roll my eyes, "You don't have to be the over protective brother. I can take care of myself and not only that but you make out with Ronnie. I don't care or try to stop you, plus I'm older."

He opens his mouth to say something but shuts it realizing I have a point. Archie grabs a snack, "Your right. One thing though, don't talk about whatever goes on in that basement around me."

I laugh, "Like I'd tell my brother those things. At least you don't have to listen when Ronnie tells me everything."

"Wait what!" He drops the snack dramatically, "What did she say?"

"Oh nothing. Only about the making out and how good of a kisser you are. Girl-talk is very fun, ya know."

He shakes his head as Jughead laughs. "Please tell me you don't talk about how good of a kisser Jughead is because I swear if she brings that up.." Archie says.

"Oh don't worry. We have already talked about that and wow do I have stories." I tease him.

Archie puts his hands over his ears, "That is my cue to leave!" He runs upstairs and forgets about his snack.

Jughead and I laugh the whole way down the stairs, "So Veronica knows if I'm a good kisser or not?"

"Yes she does know your an amazing kisser." We stop laughing and he hesitated to kiss me. I walk closer to him, "You know you can kiss me."

He gives me a smile and carries me over to my bed for some stuff I can't tell Archie about.
