Jughead's PoV
It has been literal hell for me since the night. The worst night of my life, better known as the day my beloved Betty broke my heart. I joined the Serpents the day before. Betty said she doesn't want to be dating a snake like me.

I sit in Pops everyday after school contemplating how to get her back. Should I leave the Serpents? Do I go to her house and beg for forgiveness? At this point, I'm not sure.

Pop Tate brings me a burger and fries, on the house, like everyday. I haven't been eating since the break up but Pop insists I eat the food every time. He hates seeing me without an appetite and I agree. This is the first time I can think of when I don't want to eat. It's like torcher.

  The bell rings cheerfully and a girl with H/C and E/C walks in. It's Y/N, one of my friends. Her eyes are bloodshot, matching mine, with mascara running down her face. Y/N looks around the diner until her eyes stop on me. She looks down at the ground and saunters over to me.

"Hey Jug." Her voice is raspy.

"Hey N/N. Wanna sit down?"

She takes a seat on the opposite side of the booth. Y/N leans her chin on her hands, "You look like shit."

"So do you. You okay?" My voice matches her raspiness.

"Well I look like crap and I sound awful so no." She eats one of my fries, "Arch broke up with me again."

"Again? Isn't this the 3rd time?" I push over my uneaten burger and fries to her. If I don't eat it she might as well.

"Yup. This time he said he is too busy with football and music."

"Archie is a(n)" I try to find some word that fit him but it's hard. He is my best friend after all.

"Idiot? Asshole? Well I still love him so..." Y/N sighs.

"Betts and I are over but I still love her too. I want it to go back to the way it was but I have no idea what to do. My options are beg for mercy or quit the Serpents which I don't think you can do." I slump down into my seat.

"I don't know what to do either. I mean I could make him jealous but how do I do that?"

I think for a moment, "I have an idea but it's crazy and sort of cliche." This makes me sigh, cliche is not my thing.

"I don't do cliche but I'll do anything to get Archie back."

I take a deep breathe, "You mentioned making Archie jealous so why not do it? Maybe all I need to do is make Betty jealous for her to over look the Serpents. We could fake date to get them jealous."

She laughs at me and continues to eat. Y/N shakes her head, "Your right, that is crazy. So all I have to do is PDA with you in public to get Archie back?"

"I'm more simpler turns, yes."

"I'm in, fake boyfriend."

"Then I'm in as well, fake girlfriend. One thing, do not tell anyone that this isn't a real relationship. As far as anyone knows we are in love." I hold my hand over the table for her to shake, "Deal?"

Y/N shakes my hand, "Deal. This starts tomorrow at school."

"I'll see you then."

**Time Skip to School**
**Y/N PoV**

This is something else. I have to admit I was skeptical of Jughead's plan. It seems like something out of a movie but then again it's Riverdale. Anything is possible.

I get to school the next day and put all of my homework I didn't do the night before. No way I'm doing homework after the break up. I see Jughead down the hall so I give him a small wink signaling that I'm ready.

He strolls over to me with a big smile. "Hello Babe." Jughead wraps his arms around me.

I internally cringe at the nickname but give him a smile. "Hey Juggie."

Jughead leans closer to me slowly to give me time to back out.

If this was any other day, I would shove him into the lockers. After I would run to find Archie, but this isn't every other day. It's the day I become public with my fake boyfriend, weird I know. I close the gap between us and give him a loving kiss.

He kisses me back.

When we kiss I feel something but I'm not sure what it is. It's hotter or maybe electric? The feeling was never there with Archie, it just appeared now.

Jughead pulls away and looks into my eyes for a couple of seconds. He gives me a genuinely happy smile.

I return the smile. The hall way is buzzing with the new gossip. I take a look around with a small blush to see Archie standing at his locker. His hands grab his locker tightly. I can tell he is trying to restrain himself from coming over here and hurting Jughead, it's working.

  "I'll see you at lunch baby?"

"See ya." I give him one last kiss and make my way to Biology class. Archie walks in behind me. I sit in the back of the room to avoid the teacher's questions and my ex sits down next to me.

"Hey Y/N." Arch takes out is notes inconspicuously.

"Hey Archie." I do the same as him, "How's it going?"

"Fine," he takes a pause looking at the papers. Archie inhales sharply and looks at me, "You and Jughead?"

I nod, "Yes. He has time for me unlike others."

"Oh come on Y/N. I said I was sorry and I still am!" He puts his hand over mine but I pull away without thinking except for thinking about Jughead. I turn to face the front of the classroom with my eyes drilling into the whiteboard. Why did I pull away? I don't know but the thought of Jughead lingers. His curly hair that is never neat. Jug's smile that can make me giggle. His beautiful eyes I can't stop looking in-

Oh god I need to stop. This can't happen. I'm only here to help him to get Betty back and do nothing else.

The teacher walks in and I direct my short attention span to him. I take my notes quietly pushing every last thought of my fake boyfriend to the bottomless pit in my mind to never see daylight again.

**Couple weeks later**
It has been weeks since our deal and there is no progress. Betty is still done and I'm not trying very hard with Archie. The thought of the beanie wearing boy always finds its way back to me somehow. And the kisses make it worse. The feeling I felt weeks ago, but never before, continue to happen. With Archie it was dull but now it's like sparks are flying.

Jughead texted me earlier saying we need to figure out what to do next. He said for me to come to his trailer at 8 pm after my art club meeting. I do go, even though I don't want too. If he is fake breaking up with me, I'm screwed.

"Hey Y/N." He opens the door with a smile that makes me do the same. "Come in."

"Hello Jughead." I walk into the, surprisingly, clean trailer. "It looks great in here!"

"Thanks, I cleaned it up before you came." Jug sits down on the couch and pats the cushion next to him. I take a seat. "We need to talk about our 'relationship.'" He puts air quotes around the word I want to be true, not fake.

"We do?" I ask.

"Uh yeah. Betty is oblivious and I'm over it, actually I'm more over her. How about Archie?"

"He isn't picking up on this and I'm way past over him. I don't care what he does at this point." I sigh happily.

"Good!" We quietly look down at the floor not knowing what to say but Jug knows, "Since your here do you want to play a game? Watch a movie?"

"Let's play truth or dare. I find it quite amusing sometimes." I sit crisscross applesauce and turn to face him. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth?"

"When did you realize you where over Betty?" I look into his eyes but quickly look down when he sees me. The way the light catches them, drives me a bit crazy.

"A week after our deal." He answers truthfully. I am shocked he kept going with it even though he was over it, "Truth or dare, Y/N?" He way my name rolls off his lips...

"Truth I guess."

"When did you realize you where over Archie?" Jughead leans his head on the back of the couch looking up at me then back down to the ground.

"About a week later too." I'm not technically lying! I started to have the feelings the day after and then a week later I made some sense of them.

He scoots closer to me.

I get lost for a second but snap out of it, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to..take off your shirt! The most cliche dare there is." I don't know what too make of this dare. Of course I wouldn't mind seeing a shirtless Jughead but saying it makes me blush.

He rolls his eyes, "Very cliche." Jughead takes his shirt off and I see his abs for the first time. His muscles hide behind the baggy S t-shirts nobody has seen him without. Again, Jug gets closer. "Truth or Dare?"

I find myself drifting towards him too, "Dare." We are so close, I can feel his hot minty breathe on my cheeks. A shiver goes down my spine at the speed of light. Butterflies begin their flight in my stomach.

"Kiss me." He whispers.

"You sure?"

He nods and I close the gap between us. The sparks I've been feeling fly around the two of us, buzzing with electricity. Jughead snakes his arms around my waist pulling me closer than I've ever been before. Now that I'm kissing him for real, it feels amazing.

I put my hands on his cheeks, still kissing him passionately. We don't break the kiss for minutes, that seem like hours, until both of us needed air. I pull away and breathe heavily like I just broke through the surface of water after being down there for hours.

"I like you Y/N as more than a friend or fake boyfriend." He rubs his hand on my side.

"I like you too Juggie as more than what you said." I can't speak or think straight because of that spectacular kiss.

"We have been sort of dating for weeks, can we make it official? Will you be my real girlfriend?"

"Yes, yes of course!" I pull him into another kiss forgetting about my inability to breathe for minutes. In this moment I forget about about many things that aren't just my breathe. I'm forgetting about Archie. I'm forgetting about Betty. I'm forgetting about the fake stuff of our relationship before. Now we are real, like it should be.
