You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

[OH BOY here we go.]

Archie...
Look, I'm a big believer on being honest. To the point of being blunt even.
I did. Feel something.

But Betty...
I don't want to tear you two apart.
I saw something beautiful there.

i'm honest too. i know it might not seem it, not with everything that's happened.
betty is the last person i want to hurt. she really is. but i don't know what i should be doing here.
avoiding what i want for something everyone has painted this... saga with isn't going to cut it. all i ever seem to do is get caught up in everyone's expectations, and me and betty are one of them.

I suppose...
when we've all calm down, we should talk openly about all of this.
I mean, the more typical thing to do is
to ignore it and pretend everything's fine and dandy until one of us
just explodes.

Makes for good, juicy gossip.
Bad for friendships.

I don't want to blow it with Betty. Nor you.

how is it working for you so far? just pretending? because it seems like that already hasn't worked out for the best.
i will talk to betty, but separately. right now i just want to talk to you.

In my old world,
pretending is my bread and butter.
But it rarely works out in the end.

I'll talk to her too. When the time's right.

[Curse these emotions. If this was the old Veronica, she would have just snatched up Archie without a second thought, kicking Betty to the curve. But after seeing her father being dragged away by policemen and the move to Riverdale, it makes for a humbling experience.]

Oh.

[Archie Andrews, you're going to be bad for her heart.]

You're talking to me now.
Well, texting.

[ i'm only three episodes in, so forgive me if i slip up on anything. within a few hours i'll be caught up haha, i had a ton of work so couldn't watch 'em til now. but these two ruin me. ]

( he should be thinking more about betty, about what he's already done to her. should be making sure that nothing would slip up between them again– it's selfish of him, to have even reached out to veronica at such an hour. he's lodged between ensuring he doesn't hurt a girl who has been there for him since they were young and a girl he's only just met, but what he wants to think about is archie. not his father's expectations, not the picturesque of him and betty, but what he felt in that closet. it wasn't for nothing. he can't let himself believe it was for nothing. )

i am talking to you now. and all of this... it stays between us.
and i want you. i can't ignore it.

(no problem! they had a really cute scene in last week's episode. ronnie was really sweet to him :3)

Archie...

[She shivers after reading the message, curling up deeper in her comforter. There's no denying she is attracted to Archie the way he's attracted to her. Why did the raven-haired girl think her life in a small town wouldn't be complicated?

Veronica heaves a heavy sigh, proceeding to type again.]

Secrets already?

[ i'm looking forward to it! even before i watched any of the show i tucked archie under my arm, even tho he's dug himself into a lot of trouble so far haha. it's only natural i ship the forbidden fruit tbh. ]

i didn't want it to be like this. i don't...

( he pauses again, mussing fingers through thick locks. )

i don't want it to be a secret. but for now maybe it's the smartest thing to do

( or the least smartest; but none of the wiser involve still seeing her. )

(Oh boy, you're in for a treat XD)

I believe you, Archie. But...
Ahh, clandestine text messaging.

[There a pause in Ronnie's replies, since she's considering what the best course of action could be taken for their predicament.]

I'm letting you know
that my policy for honesty does extend to Betty Cooper.
And I still want the three of us to sit down and work things out.

But for now... just talk. Talk to me.

Hi, Archie.

( for now. maybe it's cowardly, that it's easier for him to focus on. to forget that veronica and betty came together. there was a way to keep them both, and all he had to do was resist, keep himself in line. him and betty's friendship was so much more than teen angst hormones and seven minutes in heaven, but what he'd felt that night... if it was a shot in the dark, if it wasn't mutual, he'd pull back. but he knows she feels the same, and it makes it all the more difficult. )

i am talking to you

( oh, the operations of a boy's brain. )

that's all i could think about doing.

[Boys. Making things so complicated.]

Aww. Not enough to talk to me at school? So greedy, Archiekins.

Edited 2017-02-26 21:57 (UTC)

i'm hardly greedy, ronnie. this would be a much different story if i was.

Oh? And if you were?

( he'd be lying to say he wasn't a little bit smug of her curiousness. )

then i'd have you here with me right now.

i'm sorry, i know that was forward.

[Yep. So bad for her heart.]

"Fortune favors the bold", Archie Andrews.

Edited 2017-02-27 03:39 (UTC)

does it now, veronica lodge?
so it wouldn't be completely reckless of me then to invite you over?

I live all the way across town, Archiekins.

Plus, Smithers will notice. The man doesn't sleep.

Unless he does whenever my mom and I aren't at the apartment.

And, ah, it's 3 AM. How about that?

well, i'd still make it work if you wanted to.
but you're right, i guess it is kinda late.

[Pictured: Archie Andrews]

That's sweet, but that distance is no joke.
Thank god for concealer. My eyebags are just as heavy as the baggage I brought to this town.
