U N H O L Y - [Sweet Pea]

1.3

     The wide smile on Sweet Pea's face was the thing that betrayed him when he came back into the Wyrm. "It's homeboy". Fangs shouted and Toni looked up at the Serpent. "Bet he has gotten his goodnight kiss". Fangs teased and twirled around on the barstool. "Else Sweetie Pea can't sleep!". He cackled and Sweet Pea gave him a rough push, causing him to slide off the chair. "That's wasn't nice". Fangs huffed and got up from the ground. "Surprise, bitch, I'm not nice". Sweet Pea replied. "At least I get a goodnight kiss". He grinned and pulled a stool between his legs.

"Touché". Toni chuckled. "He confessed!". Fangs sat down again. "I ain't confessed shit, Fogarty, now shut your mouth be-...".

"Serpents, gather around. Jones has arrived and he's ready for initiation". Tallboy's heavy voice interrupted their conversation and they turned their heads to see Jughead coming into the Wyrm. Sweet Pea hated the determined look on his face, his blue eyes hard, as if he was already a member of the Southside Serpents. The reason why Pea was still calm is because he was getting his chance to hit Jones right in the face, hard. And oh dear he was looking forward to it. Fangs shook his head as he saw the grin that softly curled the mouth of his friend and he could basically guess what he was thinking off.

Sweet Pea had to admit that Jughead Jones didn't show any fear while he yelled the six Serpent laws in Tallboy's face and he didn't even cringe when Tallboy sputtered as he yelled the next number of a law, which was practically impossible not to cringe at. He got swiftly through the snake test and the last one was waiting for him outside. The members of the younger Serpents were lined up and ready to beat the shit out of FP's son and this was the part that got Sweet Pea all riled up and ready. Jughead wasn't the worst kid around, but the slight incidents between the two had made the steam come out of his nose and ears.

Not that Sweet Pea needed a lot to become that angry, but hey, nobody checks the details. He shoved his fingers through the holes of his brass-knuckles and squeezed them tight, letting the joints crack as he was ready to punch him good. Jughead was panting and struggling to stand up straight the more he neared Sweet Pea. The tall Serpent was actually enjoying this, watching the blood form on his lip and arm as one of the other younger Serpents had made a nice cut on his bicep. Everyone was silent as Jughead stood in front of Sweet Pea, everyone knew how hard Sweet Pea could swing his fist at someone's face.

"You can still turn around now, Jones". Sweets said, looking down at the bruised boy. He looked back at him with that look in his eyes that Sweet Pea had grown to hate and he didn't even wait and his fist collided with Jughead's face. Jug groaned in pain and took a deep breath. He spat out some blood and looked back up at Sweet Pea. "Is that all you got?". He asked with a broken voice, showing his body was done, but his mind wanted to prove Sweet Pea that he wasn't as weak as they thought he was. Toni shook her head and turned around, she didn't have to see this. Fangs rose his eyebrows at the braveness of the Jones kid.

A soft chuckle left Sweet Pea's mouth, his knuckles cracking again as he tightened his grip on the brass-knuckles before punching him again. Jughead fell down on the ground, he swore he saw stars at how hard he had been hit. The side of his face was bleeding, just like his nose and his torn lip. It was enough. Toni dared to look at the two again as Jughead slowly got up. Sweet Pea's jaw clenched as he extended his hand, knowing it was over now. Jughead looked down at his hand and took a step forward to shake it. Toni held his leather jacket in her hands and moved passed Sweet Pea to hand it over.

Jughead swallowed the taste of iron and took the leather from her, feeling his sore body as he pushed his arms throught the sleeves of the jacket. The Serpent fitted nicely on his back. He was officialy in. "Just a tattoo and you're all done". Sweet Pea grinned and gave him a 'friendly' pat on his shoulder, which made him wince in pain and give the taller Serpent a curt nod. "Got that covered, I'll ink it right into wherever you want it". Toni said, feeling excited that another one of her friends was getting a tattoo by her hands and inking machine. "Think Jones is more of a tramp stamp kind of guy, Fangs, opinions?". Sweet Pea laughed and Fangs burst into laughter to.
