❝Do you understand how hard it is, Kevin? Do you have any idea what it's like to watch her pine after that idiot who doesn't even see her half the time? To see her slowly wither away at every remark Cheryl makes. I-I thought this was just a crush but it's not. She's consuming my every thought, my every decision, and knowing that she will never see me like I see her? It feels like I'm drowning and no one is around to save me.❞

❝Just my luck. We loose Archie for threes months and suddenly he's more of an Adonis to her than ever. I never stood a chance, did I?❞
A/N: Poor Ben, stuck in the mental purgatory of trying to get your crush to notice you. I've been there. I found out last week that my crush watches teen wolf, and actually enjoys it. I'm still screaming about it. These are the only two Riverdale fic's I'll do otherwise I'll never stop. I want to make this one different. While Lonely Hearts is very extroverted in how Archie and Liana deal with their relationship, this is very introverted. It's a subtle, very slow(depending on how the episodes pan out and whether or not Betty gets with Archie) friends to lovers type thing. Hope you enjoy!
