[ hugging veronica lodge. it's not something he's ever considered because she's always seemed so high above him, socially. sure, she's betty's best friend, but she's also a lodge. rich, well groomed, and apparently dating his best friend ( "i'm in love with veronica," archie had said and that had been another bomb dropped on jughead ). she's the definition of northside and if they ever make it back, he's destined for the southside, like he's always been. so the thought of hugging her is a bit... weird and something he's a little unsure of. but she is a friend, even if he's a little distanced from her.
because to put it simply, she's the outsider of their little trio, but someone he's welcomed for betty and archie's sake. he's not about to push her away now, not when things are questionable between him and betty ( he can't get the sound of archie admitting to kissing betty out of his head ). pushing veronica away might also push betty away and that's the last thing he wants. besides, he can't exactly be a jerk to his best friend's girlfriend.
regardless of this, he still arches a brow and tilts his head, subconsciously adjusting his beanie as he pretends to consider. ]
Veronica Lodge needs a hug? [ he gazes at her with some skepticism, as if trying to pick her apart, trying to figure out what really makes veronica lodge tick. ] Considering everything over the past six months, I suppose we have.
[ and he opens his arms for her, albeit a little slowly. ]
