[ pushing himself up to stand when she doesn't join him, he crosses the distance between them and settles a hand at her hip. his other comes up to caress her cheek and he meets her eyes, his own serious. What she says is all he wants to hear. Even if he knows archie wouldn't lie to him about anything in the future, he still wants it all to be untrue. he hates the idea of being separated from her and expresses this by tilting up her chin a little. ]
And I love you. That'll never change. I guess whatever comes for us in the future, we'll face together.
[ she doesn't look away from him, her gaze meets his as he reassures her. but even as he touches her, even as he stands before her and tells her they'll face the future together, she wonders how things get as bad as they do and what outside forces might drive them apart.
she offers him a brave sort of smile, one hand lifting to touch his cheek, the other moves to lay just at his shoulder, thumb sliding over the side of his neck.] Yeah, [ she agrees, her smile still twinged with worry.] The only person I want to kiss is you, for the record.
[ leaning into the touch, he smirks a little, corners of his lips lifting. she's so beautiful it makes his heart beat a little harder in his chest and he brushes his nose against hers. ]
[ she smiles at that, liking the way he looks when he smirks. or well, liking the way he looks all the time. ]
Veronica is right though... [ she teases softly, running her lips over his but not quite kissing him.] Kind of strange how almost all of us have kissed.
[ and he loves seeing her smile too. it's so beautiful on her and he can't help the beating in his chest that intensifies every time he sees it. his heart is already beating hard for her, and seeing her smile makes him want to kiss her. especially as she brushes her lips against his. ]
Trust me, it is strange. I hardly count what Archie and I did as kissing anyway. It was practically all teeth. But in desperate times come desperate measures.
[ maybe she shouldn't want to kiss her boyfriend while he talks about the fact he kissed another guy but she does. she wants to kiss him, she wants to be kissed by him.]
[ meanwhile, jug isn't even thinking about archie anymore. he's too distracted by the way his girlfriend's lips move. he brushes his own against her's before responding. ]
This.
[ and then he's kissing her. slow and passionate, pouring his adoration and love for her into it. ]
[ she kisses back, arching her body closer to his as her hand leaves his cheek and moves to tangle in the hair at the back of his scalp.
by the time her lungs burn and demand air, she's dizzy with the way he kisses her. how could anyone else make her feel that way? or anywhere close to it. she's pretty sure they can't. ]
