Y/N PoV
Jughead opens the door of the trailer house, he called home many months ago. I walk in and make myself over to the living room, "Wow, it looks great it here." The trailer is the cleanest I've ever seen it.

  "I cleaned it up after Sheriff Keller thrashed it." Jughead takes off his beanie and coat. It gets tossed on the couch, "Just in case my dad.." he sighs.

  "Until he gets out I'm not giving up, Jug."

  "Hell no. That is why I love you, Y/N."

   I stop walking. Those three little words mean more than anything to me. These are the words I've longed to hear leave his mouth for years upon years. I turn around.

  "I love you, Y/N L/N." In this moment, Jughead is so vulnerable and truthful it makes me question if it's even real.

  I step towards him, "Jughead Jones, I love you."

  He looks into my E/C eyes smiling and they don't break away from them until he glances down at my lips.

  I cup his cheek and lean in for a kiss.

  Jughead holds me by my waist, deepening the kiss. His hand slowly snakes up my body and onto my cheek.

  We pour our love into this one kiss. It's like nothing I've felt before, it reminds me I do have a place. I do have a purpose, that I forget constantly. It reminds me however alone I feel, he will be there by me, helping me fight. I'll be there too, helping him.

   Jughead grabs me by thighs and lifts me up with a huge smile forgetting about my stitches.

   The stitches don't hurt but it might be because I'm not thinking about anything except Jughead. I wrap my legs around him tightly, not ready to let go, "I love you." I whisper with a small smile as he carries me through the living room to the kitchen.

  "I love you, too." He whispers back before kissing me passionately and slamming me against the cabinets. Jughead sets me down as his hand travels down to the hem of my shirt.

  I pull my shirt over my head quickly and reconnect our lips. We only kiss for a second until, Jughead's shirt gets pulled off him, I gasp.

  He kisses me and trails his lips down my jaw to my neck and collar bone. The way his lips feel on my neck makes me let out a small moan. Jughead begins to give me a love bite until someone pounds on the door.

   Both of us jump, "Oh my god!" I stare at the door.

  "Is that Archie?"

  I huff, "Who else would it be?"

  Jughead pulls me off of the counter and quickly grabs his shirt that lays on the counter. He slips it over his head as I put mine on.

  They knock again. Jughead opens the door in a panic. I walk over to the half open door and see many Serpents gathered here.

  Hot Dog barks at him.

  A Serpent, I haven't met before, hushes the dog, "Easy Hot Dog. He's family."

  "Hey." Jughead says nervously.

   Tall Boy stands in front of the rest of the Serpents, I wonder if he's taking over being king for now. "Heard your dad could have named names but didn't. Serpents take care of their own. We want you to know, no matter what happens to him, however long he's gone, we've got your back." He holds up a Southside Serpent jacket, "This is yours, if you want it."

  Jughead grabs the jacket from him. The smirk on his face is very noticeable as he puts it on. He adjusts its happily, it fits like a glove.

  I bite my lip with a smile, "Juggie?"

  He is smile leaves his face as he looks at me.

  "Hey! Y/N!" I look over and see Sweet Pea waving. He gives me a smile. Toni notices me too, "Hey!"

  "Hey guys." I think for a moment. Every Serpent is here and I've thought about my nickname, "Also, just call me Northside from now on, it's grown on me and I'm sick of fighting it."

  The Serpents cheer out, satisfied about how their joke is now liked by the hater herself. I laugh at them, "Okay, Okay. Thanks for this but I'm taking my boyfriend inside now."

  I grab Jughead's arm and pull him into the trailer, using my foot to shut the door. He looks so hot in the jacket, I can't help myself from pushing him into the door and giving him a passionately kiss.

  He kisses me back but pulls away, "Shouldn't we talk about this before I get distracted?"

   "Fine."

   "How do you feel about all this?"

   I smile, "I love it. I support you in any decision you make, unless it's stupid, and this isn't."

   "Am I a Serpent now or.."

   "I mean you have the jacket but you haven't recited the laws, got a knife from a snake, or gone through the gauntlet." I wrap my arms around his neck.

   He furrows his eyebrows, "Gauntlet?"

   "It's pretty much, walking through a bunch of the boys hitting and punching you as hard as possible."

   "You did that? I might need to go have a few words with whoever did that to you."

   I laugh, "Girls do the dance not the gauntlet. I didn't get one scratch, besides the snake bite."

   "How d-"

   I interrupt him with a kiss, "Can we save the questions until tomorrow? You look really really, sexy in that jacket," I run my hand down his chest, "It's hard to answer these things when I'm this distracted."

   He smirks, "Oh really?"

   I laugh, "Yes really. Now shut up and kiss me." I say playfully and with that, he did.
