[ she makes a face at that because it seems awfully invasive for a man to require some kind of physical proof... then again, the world they'd been apart of... 'invasive' was a mild word to describe most of the things the citizens did. ]
That's awful. Is Archie okay? [ betty thinks that archie's masculinity was a lot more fragile than jughead's.]
[ he shrugs. it's hard to know what archie's feeling right now since they haven't really talked about it. they should, he knows, but getting around to it is a lot harder than one would think. ]
Okay, [ she says with an encouraging smile. she hopes they do work it out. because here, they only have each other and they need to stick together. things might get awkward here again.]
I am going to reach out to V, though. I want to make sure she's okay.
[ nipping at her lips, he obliges, repeating the soft gesture. then, tilting his head, he begins pressing soft kisses to her jaw, going up until he reaches her ear. ]
[ she shivers at the sensation of his mouth against her skin and then again when he murmurs those words to her, a breathless smile on her lips and flush on her cheeks.]
I love you more than anyone in any world, Jughead Jones.

There's no way I wouldn't. You know that.

I know. [ she leans in to press her forehead to his, her smile a tiny bit teasing.] I just thought some positive affirmation might do you good.

From you, I'll accept it.
