[ seeing the pout she puts on, jughead can't help but snort a little, his shoulders rising and falling in mild amusement. veronica lodge, always with something on the tip of her tongue or a play in process. he doesn't blame her for wanting the hug, he's just not sure he's the one she should be hugging. not when he knows archie is around.

still, he does consider her a friend. she's part of their team of four that has overcome even the murder of a classmate. so he steps back to let her inside, and makes room so she can look around.

the small space definitely screams jughead+betty. it's neat and tidy, with a bouquet of flowers sitting on the coffee table by the couch. said couch is a bit beat up, obviously used, but has a floral blanket covering it to make it comfortable. the same goes for the rest of the furniture.

as he gives her time to peer around, he heads to the small kitchen where he pours them both a cup of coffee. he doesn't know how she takes hers, so he brings out creamer and sugar, in case she doesn't take it black like he does. ]

To put it bluntly? Just after Homecoming. Betty came over and we were... interrupted by the Serpents. They gave me a jacket.
