summary: after leaving Riverdale after graduating, a special Serpent comes back two years later to see a 6'3 serpent's high school graduation (reader is 20, SP is 18)

***

The Whyte Wyrm was more decked out than usual, FP had set up a pre-graduation party for his son and the rest of his friends. The seniors were all around the room, enjoying their drinks, playing pool, just having a great time.

In the corner sat, Jughead Jones, Toni Topaz, Fangs Fogarty, Sweet Pea, Cheryl Blossom, Kevin Keller, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge and Archie Andrews. The group had been playing truth or dare for the past 20 minutes.

"Okay, my turn." Kevin cheered. "Sweet Pea, truth or dare?"

"Truth." He answered which caused the group to cheer, Sweet Pea never picked truth.

"Alright, this needs to be a good question." Kevin thought for a second. "I got it, who did you lose your virginity too?"

"Um, this older serpent, she was like two years older than me. I was a freshman and she was a junior." Sweet Pea explained. "That was it."

"Okay, that is such a lie." Toni intervened. "You were totally in love with her. And if she hadn't left, the two of you would probably be together."

"Where did she go?" Betty asked wanting to know more.

"Boston University to study Sports Medicine. God she was my idol. Someone from our side of town was able to leave and get a good education."  Toni smiled.

"Was she in love with you?" Archie looked at Sweet Pea.

"I don't know." Sweet Pea sighed.

"That is total bull. She totally loved you. She may have not said it, but her actions were better than words." Toni answered

As the group continued to play their game, they didn't notice the 20 year old girl walk into the bar. You wouldn't know she was a serpent unless you looked under her sleeve and see the tattoo on her wrist. She continued her way towards the bar and sat in down in front of Mandy and Mickey. "So how are my favorite two bartenders?"

"No fucking way!" Mickey exclaimed when he looked up to see his best friend.

"Y/n?" Mandy asked and she nodded. "Oh my god, you're back, what are you doing here."

"I had a promise to keep. I told a little snake that I would be back for his high school graduation." Y/n explained. Mandy and Mickey looked at each other before settling their gaze on the table in the corner. Y/n looked at her two friends before turning her head and look at what they were looking at and caught the gaze of Fangs.

"Well it was nice to see you too, we'll catch up in a bit." Y/n said.

"What?" The twins said confused. Y/n smirked counting down on her fingers from 5, 4, 3, 2,

"Y/n!" Fangs came running over. Y/n winked at her two friends before turning around and hugging Fangs. "You have to come and drink with us."

"Everyone I have a little surprise for you all." Fangs announced to his friends. Majority of the group looked at Y/n and was slightly confused, Jughead and Toni had a small smirk on their faces and Sweet Pea had his back turned.

"Why do you two look like that, Fangs surprises are ass." Sweet Pea asked.

"I thought you loved my ass." Y/n teased. Sweet Pea knew that voice, he loved that voice.

"No fucking way!" He exclaimed when he turned around. He got up and scooped up the girl and spun her around.

"I'm going to take a guess and that's the girl." Veronica looked at Toni, Fangs and Jughead who all nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Sweet Pea asked when he set the girl done.

"If I remember correctly, I promised that I would come back to see a special someone graduate." Y/n explained. "And I always keep my promises."

"Y/n!" Toni cheered snaking her arms around the older girl.

"Hello Miss. Marie Antoinette." Y/n joked. "How about you crown boy, am I getting a hug?"

"It's good to see you." Jughead stood up.

"Hi, I'm Y/n, nice to meet you." She smiled looking at the northsiders.

After introductions it was like how it was two years ago, Y/n would lean her back onto Sweet Pea while he gave a protective squeeze on her waist. "Remember how Y/n said she would never date a freshman." Mandy snickered walking over to the group with Mickey.

"And now look, it's just like four years ago." Mickey teased.

"Will you two shut up, I'm trying to soak this up." Y/n snuggled into Sweet Pea more.

"So how long are you staying?" Toni asked.

"For the rest of summer, school got out at the end of May. I'm probably going to stay with Mandy while I look for an apartment in Boston." Y/n explained. "Maybe a two bedroom, I heard someone got into Boston College on a Basketball scholarship."

"You know about that?" Sweet Pea looked down at the girl.

"Just because I'm not here, doesn't mean I'm not caught up with everything in this town." Y/n answered.

"You know you four." Mickey looked at Jughead, Sweet Pea, Fangs and Toni. "Remind me of the three of us and Joaquin."

The group gave a moment of silence for their fallen friend. "He's right." Mandy agreed and Y/n nodded.

"He deserves to be here." Y/n whispered wiping the tears off her cheek.

"Hey baby don't cry." Sweet Pea cupped her cheeks. "He's here, just spiritually."

"Damn, Sweet Pea has gone soft." Kevin looked at the couple.

"He'll turn into putty if Y/n is in a 10 feet radius." Toni laughed.

"I do not!" Sweet Pea protested.

"Yes you do." Y/n said.

"Yes I do." Sweet Pea sighed knowing he wasn't going to win this one.

"Well it was nice meeting you all, but Sweet Pea and I have some business to attend to." Y/n linked her arm with Sweet Pea and the two started walking out of the bar. Before she turned, Y/n caught a glimpse of Mickey putting his hand up near his cheek and having his tongue poking the inside of his cheek mimicking a blowjob.

"Mickey you know I saw you." Y/n called out to her best friend before leaving the bar.
