We're going to be okay.

[bragnificent]

but can I ask u a favor tho
just dont like

[ ... Ugh. There's a bit of a delay before he continues. ]

dont start leaving me out of stuff now just cuz the 3 muskateers are back together
ok

[perfectible]

[ REGGIE. ]

We won't, Reggie. I promise. Small town kids have to stick together.

[bragnificent]

[ Look it's a valid concern!!!! ]

cool

yeah
we do
cuz this place is nuts enough even without bringing whatever feelings & baggage into it

[perfectible]

You might need to give Jughead some time, that's all.

[ but she knows he really means Archie and maybe herself. ]

[bragnificent]

look I dont care if me and jughead ignore each other the entire time we're both here
as long as nothing else changes
plus it kind of works out anyway
u 2 can do ur married thing while me & archie get to bro it up like the 2 hot single studs we are

[perfectible]

What about you and Nick?

[bragnificent]

[ ...... ]

what about me and nick

[perfectible]

[ SHE KNOWS.]

Are you giving up on him?

[bragnificent]

[ Called the fuck out. ]

what r u talking about
me and nick arent dating

[perfectible]

And you don't want to be?

[bragnificent]

well I dont date guys

[ ... ]

did nick say sumthing to u

[perfectible]

We talked about it at the carnival.


[ so you know... truth serum. so it's not his fault. ]

[bragnificent]

[ He's typing for a while, dots appearing for ages and then disappearing for almost just as long, but then when he's done the only thing he sends is: ]

crap

[perfectible]

Why 'crap'?

[bragnificent]

I just didnt know he was gonna tell u
or anyone

[perfectible]

He didn't really have a choice. Truth serum food and all.

I won't say anything to anyone.

[bragnificent]

[ And to think he isn't even assuming she's referring to the l-word part of things yet. ]

ok
thanks

I mean I know a lot of ppl do it w/ there doms but I'm still kinda

and its just sex anyway
I dont need to date anyone
plus I think thats against his religion or sumthing

[perfectible]

[ that's becoming clear to her and she's not about to call him out. or throw nick under the bus.]

You may not "need" to but that doesn't mean you can't want to date someone, Reggie. Or have feelings, if you do. There isn't anything wrong with that.

Yeah, he mentioned that. Very bluntly.

[bragnificent]

idk
u rly dont think its kind of like, pointless?
trying to date here?
like be honest

[perfectible]

Why would being with someone who makes you happy be pointless?

[bragnificent]

u can be with someone who makes u happy without dating them
& its even easier when they dont want to date u
living with archie I'm assuming u'd know all about that already

[perfectible]

I know that. I'm not ten years old and believe in fairytales.
I'm sorry if he said that to you.

What does that mean?

[bragnificent]

he didnt
we havent even talked about dating
and we're not gonna talk about it

idk what do u think it means?

[perfectible]

Alright. [ he's getting defensive and she's not really into being lashed out at. ]

I'm asking you what you mean by that, Reggie.
