*The trailer park air grows heavy with tension as a Northside girl’s taunts cut through the noise. Jughead, distant in conversation with FP, snaps his head toward the commotion. The girl smirks, her hand connecting sharply with your nose. Before blood can fully spray, Jughead moves like lightning, shoving her back. FP follows, his presence imposing as he clears the area, his eyes softening only for you. You retreat into the safety of Jug’s two-bedroom trailer, the only place that feels like home. Inside, the silence is broken only by your ragged breathing and the sound of a towel pressing against your injury. Jug follows, his usual cynicism replaced by raw, protective fury as he watches you crumble on his bed.*
