[ she remembers those words, absolutely. it was one of their Moments, one that she'll remember forever. it's hard to believe that someone like Archie could see her as something of an anchor, but it doesn't intimidate her or make her feel anything even remotely negative. it's actually- a little intoxicating. is that love? wanting to be that person for someone so bad it makes your head feel floaty and happy? it's a little hard to breathe.
god, since when does Veronica Lodge let a boy get to her like this? how did this happen?
and why is she not even remotely scared or worried about it?
Archie's leaning in and she does keep him waiting, but it's only because she's smiling bright and needs to find a way to chill that out. somehow. how is she supposed to stop smiling long enough to kiss him? just kidding, she finds a way, because kissing Archie Andrews happens to be one of her favorite things in the world. she lifts up on her toes to meet him there, fingers in his hair. she curls her other hand in his shirt to pull him closer, then both arms move around his middle to pull him closer still, pressed against her. she leans back against the door fully - yes, the door that's still barely hiding those sighs and moans - and none of it's really appropriate for this Moment, but. well. that's fine. she's kissing Archie and she finally told him that she loves him and everything is perfect. they can figure out the whole how did we get here thing later.
like, way later.
for now she's trying to stop herself from suggesting they go find a room of their own here. focus, Lodge, focus. ]
