Temptation | A Bughead AU

I have uh, bloodphobia?

Jughead POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm beeping. I groan as I wipe the crust on the side of my eye and I stood up to prepare for another day. I wish this day could get better but no one is there to brighten it up. I get to my motorbike and start driving to school.

I was at English, thinking of random shit until I heard the voice of the assistant boom through the room. "Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones, please report to the principal's office." I make my way to office and I already see Betty sitting in front of Mr. Weatherbee.

Betty POV
I was busy taking notes and solving equations until I heard the announcement. Why would he call both of us in the office? I didn't do anything... We don't even talk. "Mr. Jones, are you aware of how your grades are dropping this semester?" "I-yeah." Mr. Weatherbee scoffed, "You know but you're not doing anything about it?" Jughead opened his mouth but he didn't say anything. "Well, Ms. Cooper here, is maintaining her high grades so," he gestures his hand to me, "Would you tutor him? He won't get accepted in any school with that grade." "I-uh-" "What? Cat got your tongue?" Jughead says looking to me with those stormy blue eyes. I stare at his eyes and all I could hear was his heart beating. "Um, yeah okay," I say and look away quickly before the veins on my eyelids start to show up. Does it look like I have another choice? "Ms. Cooper, you may leave." I stood up and left the office.

Jughead POV
"But why am I-," "You're still here because the coach of the football team told me that you weren't attending the training sessions." I'm well aware of my situation so why don't you just kick me out? "What if I lost interest in football?" "Well, what are your other interests? Maybe you could join some other activity." I think about my hobbies, uh drinking? Sleeping? Eating? [A/N this is such a mood 😂] Oh, writing. "Sometimes I write." He sighs, "Well, Ms. Cooper insisted that she wants to work alone but I know she's stressed. Maybe you could convince her somehow?" Ah, the girl that every boy dreams of. Smart, talented. Would there be a way to get to her? "I guess I could try." He gestures for me to leave and I got out of the office.

Betty POV
After that, I went to my locker and got a few of my books that I will need to tutor him. He makes me speechless, it's crazy. The moment I close my locker, I see him popping out of nowhere. "Oh my god, don't do that," We both drop down to our knees and grabbed my books. I see him eyeing my cleavage, "My eyes are up here, you perv," I elbow him on the chest and he smirks. His eyes go down to my hands that are holding my books. "What's that ring you got?" "It's a family heirloom." Oh god, I hope during these sessions my urges won't give in 'cause I'm not gonna lie, he looks- "Hey uh, can I get your number, for the sessions?" I stop daydreaming and I avoid his eyes. Okay Betty just look anywhere but there! "Oh- Yeah okay," He hands his phone to me and I put my number. "Sooooo when do we meet and where?" "We could go to my house," what is my mouth saying? I don't want to give in to him no no. "Meet at the gate by 4?" "Yeah um okay." I practically bolted from that place and went to my next class.

Jughead POV
I wait at the gate and I see her blonde ponytail bouncing as she walks. "Let's walk to my house?" I chuckle and point to my motorbike. "Wait, we're riding that?" [A/N : more like riding who?😂] "Yeah, I drive this to school. Hop on," I gave her my helmet since I was wearing a beanie anyway. "Hold on tight." She places her hands on my waist and I follow the directions she shouts at me while I drive. "We're here," she says pointing to her house. She opened the door and we stepped in. "Want anything to drink?" "Just water." "You can go ahead to my room," she says while getting a glass. The glass she got was from a high cabinet and it made her shirt ride up her hips which made me stare. I mentally slapped myself and turned around to go upstairs to her room. I drop my bag to the side of her desk and sat at her bed. I look at a picture frame on her desk and it is a picture of her and another girl. Huh, maybe her sister? I snapped out of my daze when she spoke, leaning on the door frame. "What'ya looking at?" Her blonde locks are now drooped on her shoulders. "It's uh- the picture. You have a sister?" "Yeah, she's gonna be here soon." She says, walking towards me. Betty sits on the chair next to the desk and brings out the books from her backpack. "So, what do we study today?" "Math I guess?" She turns the page of the book to the lesson and gestures for me to go closer to her so that I can see. Betty taught me on how to get x. She places her notebook beside the book so that I can see more examples. I was looking through the notes until my finger scraped the metal of the spirals. "Oh shit," my finger bleeded a bit and I saw her suddenly looked away. "You scared of blood?"

Betty POV
Ok, this is the part that scared me. If I didn't turn around in time, he could've seen how my eyes looked like. "I have uh, blood, phobia..." That is just the worst excuse, bloodphobia? That's not even a thing. "Oh yeah, right. Put that in the dictionary." We chuckle and I look back at the book.

We were in the middle of discussing an equation until I heard someone knock my door. "Agh, Polly! You could've texted me!" I go to her and I push her outside my room. "Who's that guy? Are you finally getting someone?" "No, Polly! I'm just tutoring him." She scoffs, "Oh yeah right, 'tutoring'." She gives me the air quotations with her fingers and I roll my eyes at her. "Go to your room now please. We're almost done." She walks away but winks at me in the process. I go back to my room to see Jughead solving on a paper. I smile, leaning on the door frame, admiring the way he looks while he's concentrating.

A/N : It's a lot longer now 😌 I enjoyed writing this.
