Jughead was nervous. Nervous because prom was coming up soon and he didn't know how to ask Betty, even though she was his girlfriend.
He wanted to do something special for her, something she wouldn't expect from him.
"Jug? What are you doing here?" Archie asked when his raven haired best friend stepped into his kitchen.
"How would Betty want to be asked to prom?" He asked, his voice questioning as he opened the fridge and got most of the food he could find.
Archie chuckled softly. "Don't know man." He answered as Jughead started tapping the table with his fingers nervously. "She's your girlfriend, she'll say yes anyway."
"You don't get it Archie." Jughead protested, "I want to do something special for Betty. Take her mind away from all the drama for a whole. I want this prom the best she ever had."
Archie smiled at how soft his friend had gotten, for a girl of all people. "You're whipped." He chuckled while taking some of the food Jughead had gotten.
"I know.." He sighed, his mind still spiraling with ideas. "I just need to think of something she wouldn't expect."
And at that moment, Jughead had the perfect idea.

"Mom!" Betty yelled from downstairs. Alice came rushing down.
"What is it honey?" She asked. The blonde gave her mother a soft smile.
"Can you maybe drive me to school?" She pleaded, "Jug says he can't pick me up and Archie isn't responding." She explained, her eyes begging.
Alice smiled softly. "Of course I'll take you sweetie, take your stuff and then we can go."
Alice knew all of it, Jughead's plan to ask Betty to prom, and she decided to help. She knew she had to drive Betty to school because Jughead and Archie 'couldn't' come.
"Uh.. mom?" Betty asked once they arrived at school. "This is not the main entrance."
"I would go through the back door today.." Alice said before kicking her daughter out of the car.
Betty gave her a suspicious look before sauntering towards the back entrance of the school. Her mother was acting weird and Betty hated the fact that she didn't know what was going on.
Slowly she entered the school, only to find a random student running up to her, handing her a rose, before sprinting away again. "What is this?" Betty tried to ask but the boy was already far gone and Betty stood alone in the hallways.
Her hand took the card that was attached to it and opened it.
i love you..
It read, with an arrow pointing to two colors. Blue and gold. Was she supposed to go there?
Betty shrugged it off and went to the blue and gold anyway, remembering she had left a few articled there yesterday. She was unsure whether that rose was from the boy that had given it to her or someone else who didn't know she was dating Jughead.
Once she got to the blue and gold, Archie was sitting there to all her surprise, a bouquet of roses in his hands. "Archie!" Betty happily said. Archie didn't reply, instead he handed her the bouquet and walked away.
That's odd. Betty thought.
She smelled the roses, taking in the sweet scent and wondering what the hell was going on.
She found a small note stuck to one of the roses.
You're getting late for class.
Betty frowned and looked at the time. Crap, the note was right.
She ran towards her class, clutching the roses between her hands. She entered the classroom, feeling all the eyes on her.
"Sorry I'm late." Betty apologized and quickly rushed to her seat.
Still Betty felt all eyes completely fixated on her, but she couldn't figure out why. Was it the roses?
Quickly she pushed the red flowers under her desk and gave her focus on the teachers.
"Miss Cooper?" The teacher suddenly asked. Betty looked up with confused eyes. She didn't do anything wrong, did she?
"I have something for you." She said and handed another rose to Betty.
Betty sighed and took it from her. "Can you tell me from who this is?" The teacher chuckled softly.
"I can only say that you are dismissed from this class." She said and kindly led Betty out of the door. Betty protested, useless.
Again she read the note that was attached to it.
You're almost finding me. Just get to the gym.
Betty sighed and quickly made her way to the gym, pressing all the roses she got over the day to her chest.
She opened the door to the gym, finding it with the lights off. All of the sudden they were turned on, as she saw the gym filled with roses and some of her friends standing in front of her, all holding signs.
will you go to prom with me?
Betty read, her eyebrows narrowing as a smile placed over her lips when the two middle persons moved out of the way.
There he stood, her beloved boyfriend with another rose in his hands.
"Of course I'll go to prom with you!" Betty exclaimed, receiving cheering from the people around her.
Betty rushed towards Jughead, jumped in his arms and kissed him deeply. Jughead smiled and gently kissed her back, holding her pressed against him.
"You're the best." Betty mumbled against his lips.
"I know." He grinned, carefully placing her back on her feet.
Betty then looked around her, finally realizing they were surrounded by half the school, all holding roses. "I just knew you loved roses." Jughead said with a smirk as every person in the gym went to hand Betty the rose
Betty giggled with a sigh and took all the roses, barely able to hold them. "What should I do with all these?" Betty pouted as she accidentally dropped the roses.
Jughead laughed and picked them up. "Put them in your room. Every time you'll look at them you'll think of me." He grinned as a smirk played over his lips.
Betty giggled and kissed her boyfriend's lips softly, receiving a few 'aw's' from Veronica and Archie who just appeared next to them.
"Who thought Jughead Jones could be such a romantic?" Veronica teases, causing Jughead to give her a death glare.
"Well I seem to love that side of him." Betty said with a smirk, kissing him once more.
this is probably the worst promposal ever but I couldn't think of something cute and I needed to update so here you go..
