if you're still taking fic prompts, what about something with jabitha moving into/remodelling their apartment? since we don't rly see them do that in dale
Tabitha walks into her apartment to find a man sitting at her table. "Jughead? Is that you?"
He turns to face her, and she sees that it is in fact her boyfriend. "Tabitha, hey." He gets up out of the chair and walks to her, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I found a spare key and let myself in, hope that's alright."
"Yeah, no problem. Whatever you need." She takes a quick glance around her apartment and sees that the floors are empty of boxes. "Don't you have any belongings to bring in?"
He shakes his head. “Most of my stuff was destroyed in the explosion, Archie’s supposed to bring whatever survived in an hour or two."
Tabitha muses over that. Jughead didn't have much already and now a bomb going off, ruining what little he did have? She feels compassion for her boyfriend, moving in a lot quicker than their original plan. "Well, as I said before, whatever you need, I'm here for you."
Jughead holds her face with one hand and pulls her in for a kiss. "I know."
She kisses him back, standing on her toes to lift herself up a few inches. She appreciates Jughead leaning down slightly for her, even though the height between them isn't that much.
When they break apart, Tabitha remembers what she originally meant to do upon walking into her apartment. “I almost forgot, I brought you dinner.” She holds up a bag of Pops takeout and grins at him. “Figured you’d be in the zone.”
"Thanks, Tabs." Jughead takes the bag out of her hands and places it next to his typewriter. He turns to Tabitha and kisses her again, holding her shoulders. "Thank you again for everything. I don't know what I'd do without you," he admits onto her lips.
She doesn't respond, only kisses him back. It's all she can do, really. With everything going on in Riverdale, letting Jughead move in a little earlier than they had planned is the least she could do.
A few hours later, just like Jughead said, Archie is knocking on their door. "All I was able to find were some clothes, and these aren't even burned."
Tabitha holds the box and quickly realizes how light it is. "And he didn't have much when he was living with you?"
"Barely." Archie picks up another box and gestures to the inside of her apartment. "Can I come in?"
"Of course." She moves out of the way to let him in and closes the door once Archie has made his way through the small living space.
He opens his mouth to ask a question when Jughead walks into the living room from the writing nook they had set up together. "Arch, hey."
There's an awkward silence as the friends exchange words of concern for each other. Tabitha places the box she'd been holding on the floor. "Thanks for stopping by, Archie."
He turns to her and nods. "No problem. I'll see you two tomorrow?"
"This is Riverdale. Obviously we'll see you tomorrow," Jughead remarks, wrapping an arm around Tabitha.
Archie chuckles at that and waves goodbyes to the new couple, leaving their apartment and the two alone.
"I saw how much, well, little, Archie brought," Tabitha says, trying to comfort her boyfriend. "Jug, if you need anything, please let me know."
His face falls a bit, she notices. The last thing she wants is to see Jughead upset, so she kisses him again. She sends every thought and feeling of comfort to him through their lips. She never wants to be away from him.
Their lips part. "Come on. I'll show you our bed."

idk if this one has been done yet, but what about getting in a fight with mob!tom and he says something that really upsets her but tries his best to make up for it because he knows he fucked up?
getting angsty on this monday, I like it! I had fun with this. I went less tom trying to make up for it and more him undergoing the biggest grovel session of his life lmao. lowkey got a bit emotional writing it fhjdhf. enjoy !! cw: angst (w a happy end)
– it’s mob monday !! –
The argument builds quickly, escalating from a minor spat to an all-out explosion in the blink of an eye. What had started out as a small grievance about Tom’s inability to make time for you had snowballed, and now you’re standing opposite him, angry tears glistening in your eyes.
“You’re being unreasonable!” You exclaim, voice coming out hard. The palms of your hands hurt from the clenching of your fingers, small crescent-moon shapes from your nails pressed into your skin. “Why won’t you just listen to me?”
Tom’s face is a deep shade of volatile red, his hair unruly and untamed from the number of times he’s run his hands through his curls. He’d abandoned his smooth-talker facade minutes ago, now fully leaning into the side of him that you only usually see when he’s around his opponents.
“I’ve tried listening to you, Y/N, but you aren’t paying attention to what I’m saying,” he says, voice staccato. He clasps his hands in front of his chest as he groans, his face the picture of frustration. “I can’t change my schedule for you, alright? If you actually paid attention to how I live my life, and the lifestyle that I lead, you’d understand that. I can’t be like all your other boyfriends. I have responsibilities that are bigger than you.”
You bring your hands to your temples, trying not to cry as you stare at him.
“I don’t want you to be like my ex-boyfriends,” you respond, “I want you to be a good boyfriend, and pay attention to me when I tell you that I miss you.” Your voice softens slightly, and your glare loses some of its ferocity. “It gets fucking lonely living in this house, Tom. For such a big mansion, there’s barely ever anyone around, and when you’re not here…” You wave a hand through the air. “I feel alone.”
“Then move out.”
Immediately, your blood runs cold. You feel your heart drop straight to your feet, and your arms fall to your side, defeated.
“What?” You croak. A fresh flood of tears well up in your eyes as you stare at your boyfriend, who’s still looking at you like you’ve done something to cause him grievous bodily harm.
“If you hate living here, and you hate dating me so much, just move out, Y/N.” Tom shoves his hands in his pockets, shrugging. “Seems to me like that’d be a good solution to your problem.”
You shake your head, in disbelief at how quickly your boyfriend of two years has pivoted.
“Are you being serious?” You say, blinking at him. “Are you actually trying to kick me out right now? Just because I care about and want to spend time with my boyfriend?”
Tom stares at the ground, and you see his jaw twitch. You give him a few seconds to say something, anything, and when he fails to do so, you stalk over to the wardrobe. It’s only when you pick up a bag and start to throw your things into it that he seems to realise how angry you are.
“What are you doing?” Tom asks, sounding panicked. He walks towards you, reaching out for you, but you move away. Your eyes sting with tears, and you feel a few stray droplets roll down your face as you shake your head.
“I’m leaving,” you mutter. Your hands shake as you sling the bag over your shoulder and go into the bathroom, picking up your toothbrush and a few other things. “Going back to my flat.”
Tom shakes his head. “Please don’t do that, love.” He sounds desperate all of a sudden, and when you glance at him in the mirror, you see he’s deflated--shoulders shrunk, eyes wide. “I… I didn’t mean it, I was caught in the moment. You don’t need to leave.” He reaches out for you again but you dodge him.
“Don’t touch me,” you mutter. You hastily pull on the zip of the bag before walking back into the bedroom. “Don’t come over either. I don’t want to see you until you’ve figured out what you want from me and what you want from this relationship.”
He trails after you, keeping a safe distance, but you can almost feel how badly he wants to reach out and take your hand.
“I love you,” Tom pleads. “Please don’t go. We can work this out together.”
You shake your head. You’re walking fast now, just glad that you’d held onto the keys of your old flat when you’d moved in with Tom.
“We need space. I need space.” You find yourself at the front door, and you turn around to stare at Tom. He flinches as he takes in the sight of the tear tracks on your cheeks, and the angry hurt in your eyes. “Just… Leave me alone, Tom.”
You turn and you leave, letting the heavy front door slam behind you.
––––––
Your first day apart passes by in a blur of anger, upset, and heartbreak. Your best friend comes over and you talk to her, well into the night, venting about everything you’ve been unable to air to Tom, given his remarkable absence from your life. It’s not that he’d been pulling away intentionally, rather, his job had taken him away from you, over and over and over again. Every time you’d brought it up casually, he’d shot you down. It was just a matter of time before it overflowed like that.
One day stretches to two, then three. Tom makes an appearance on the fourth.
You know it’s him just from the way he knocks on your front door: three strong knocks, syncopated in his favourite rhythm. You carefully, quietly, tiptoe to the door and lean up to peer through the peephole, feeling your breath hitch as you see his figure, distorted by the glass. He looks tired and unkempt, wearing a hoodie and some jeans instead of one of his suits. His hair is all over the place, and there’s a shadow of stubble grazing his chin.
“Love?” He calls out, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I know you’re there.”
You swallow, continuing to spy on him as you say nothing.
Tom sighs. “I’m so sorry, Y/N... I feel like shit. I shouldn’t have said what I said, because I didn’t mean it.” He breaks off, and you watch as he pinches at the bridge of his nose. “I know you want space, but I… I miss you. And I love you, so much. So, so, so much, love. I’ve never loved anyone this much in my life, and it’s terrifying.” He breaks off, chuckling harshly. “So I don’t know why I decided to fuck things up. Guess I’m just fucking stupid, eh?”
You rest your forehead against the door, frowning as you listen to him talk. You’ve never heard him sound so defeated before.
“Anyway, uh… I just wanted to come around and tell you that I’m sorry. I’ll never stop being sorry for what I said. I don’t want you to move out, I want you to come back.” Tom chuckles weakly. “I don’t ever want you to leave. I can’t imagine what my life would look like without you in it, so… If you want me to, I’ll give it up. I’ll give it all up.” He pauses to suck in a breath, his voice becoming thick. “We can, uh, sell the house. Move somewhere nice. Maybe get a townhouse somewhere, or, uh, a cottage, or whatever you want, darling. I could get a normal job.” He breaks off to laugh humourlessly. “Don’t know what I’d do, but… I’d do it. For you. I’d do anything for you. So… just think about it, please.”
Tom pauses, and you watch as he reaches up to rub at his eyes. His voice cracks as he adds, “I love you.” After a final repetition of the words, he sighs and steps back. “I’ll, uh, go now. Just… Know that I’m sorry. And I love you. So much.”
He turns to leave, and you suddenly realise he’s about to walk away. You reach up and rattle the chain on your door before turning the handle, throwing it open, and stepping out into the hallway. Tom turns to look at you, and you’re shocked to see his bloodshot eyes, bright red nose, and the tear tracks that stain his cheeks.
“Tom,” you say, voice gentle. “It’s… It’s okay.”
He slowly steps back towards you, moving hesitantly until you offer him your hands. You tenderly loop your fingers together, feeling his cold digits.
“It’s not okay,” Tom mumbles, looking at you with those wide brown eyes you love so much. “I was such a dick, love. I shouldn’t have said it.”
You squeeze his hands. “You shouldn’t have,” you agree, “but it’s okay.” You gently pull one of his palms to your mouth and kiss over his knuckles a few times. “I said some things I shouldn’t have too…” You sigh gently. “I miss you, Tom.”
You’ve felt it every day. A hollowness in your heart. Tom always makes your life brighter, even when he’s not around. He leaves your mug out by the kettle when he leaves every morning, and he makes sure the fridge is stocked with your favourite fruits. Tom’s the one who neatly arranges your shoes on the shoe rack by the door, and makes sure the thermostat is set right. He always tidies up the bathroom and puts your favourite teddy right in the centre of the bed, every single day. You miss his smile, and his arms, and the love he has for you that exists even when he’s not there.
“I miss you too,” he says.
He looks so fragile that you pull him in for a hug, burying your nose in his neck and inhaling the soft tones of faded cologne. Tom clings to you, his hands digging into your back and holding you firmly. You swallow as you tilt your mouth towards his ear.
“Can I come back home?” You ask. “I don’t want to do any of this without you.”
Tom hums. After a moment more, he pulls back, but he keeps his hands wrapped around you. He looks into your eyes, a very shy smile moving out over his lips.
“I would love that,” he says. “The house isn’t the same without you.”
You move your hands around his neck and kiss him very softly, feeling a part of you flicker back to life as his gentle lips nudge up against yours.
“Thank you.” You card your fingers through his hair. “I love you.”
And there’s still so much you need to talk about and work through, but Tom pushes his forehead against yours and stares at you with so much determination that you know you’ll get there, you’ll be okay. You know that he loves you.
He kisses you again, just as gently as the first time.
“Love you too, darling,” he promises. “Love you more than anything else in the world.”

― chance perdomo. he/him. cismale. / noel laurent just pulled up blasting a boy is a gun by tyler, the creator — that song is so them ! you know, for a(n) twenty-two year old rapper, i’ve heard they’re really reckless, but that they make up for it by being so altruistic. if i had to choose three things to describe them, i’d probably say rolled up sleeves on an oversized sweater, missed 2am calls, messy notebooks filled with lyrics. here’s to hoping they don’t cause too much trouble !
tw: uh , homophobia? yeah yikes.
hi it’s me, dumb bitch machine, raq. annnd this is my lil cherub noel. lit rally love this rp more than life itself and i’m SO happy that it’s come back. it was a crazy special place a year ago and it’ll be another crazy special place now too. noel’s brand new so excuse the awkward phase i tend to go through while i feel out a new muse. i’m also playin with new aesthetics for threads and what not so like just be patient with me skjags. i ... already have a second muse in the works because yes i’m extra! cannot wait to write with you all !!
[ 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕤 ― ❝ BETTER DAYS FOLLOW ME LIKE THE SADDEST SONG ❞ ]
full name: noel amari laurent
age: twenty-two years old
date of birth: may 12th
star sign: taurus
place of birth: san marcos , texas
currently living in: los angeles , california
voiceclaim: brockhampton / kevin abstract
sexual orientation: bisexual
spoken languages: fluent in english and very limited in spanish thanks to his dad *more on that later
TL;DR : noel laurent is a twenty-something rapper/boyband member who is…. honestly trying his best and failing lmao. he lost alot of connection to his family really young and recently. because of this, he has a tendency to cling hard to people and make himself his own makeshift family in people who don’t always have his best interest in mind. which always lowkey just hurts him in the end cause his expectations are too high! he’s ambitious and loving but hella reckless.
[ 𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕘𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕 ― ❝ I WISH YOU'D LOVE ME FOR LIFE ❞ ]
alright here we go
noel was born in san marcos texas to eva laurent on may 12th 1997. For all of his life, it was just him, his mother and his younger sister. They didn’t have a ton but eva did everything she could to make sure they had everything they needed. she’s an incredible hard worker and that work ethic trickled down to noel from a very young age.
alright so #daddyissues much? noel’s dad was in his life when he was really young. from three to like eight, because his parents got back together for a couple years . once they broke up again his dad vanished again ! he has very few memories of him but some of them are still they’re prettyyyyy fuzzy. tbh , his dad’s a really touchy subject so he tends to just pretend the guy doesn’t exist !
he kinda always wanted to help out his mom ( spoiler alert, he’s a mommas boy but more on that later ) so, pretty much from the age he was legally able to, noel his been #grinding. like, imagine that one kid that fell asleep in english because they work late the night before. that was him throughout highschool. he was working odd jobs constantly on the side of his main job. mowing lawns, dog walking, you name it he probably dabbled. he’s smart so he’d do other kid’s homework for pay but wouldn’t do his own homework cause… fuck his grades ig lmao
he’s always had an affinity for music but rarely found the time to actually play an instrument or write anything for that matter. it’d take one really stubborn choir teacher junior year who’d nudge him to start turning the handful of short poems he’d turned in for their songwriting project into songs.
you could say mid highschool was really formative years for the boy … along with falling in love with making music he literally fell in love FOR REAL with someone for the first time !! soft, yes. If you’re lucky he’ll talk about dylan quite fondly buuuuuuuuut that’s another touchy subject cause had to keep it secret til it all essentially fell apart. His mom had met a handful of noel’s girlfriends prior to dylan … and he hadn’t gained the bravery to tell her about him. It’s sad i’m sad.
him and his bois would later collaborate and realize “ hey we’ve got something good here ! “ soooo they planned to move out to la pursue the #bandlife .
now, telling his mom about this move led to an EXPLOSIVE fight cause,,, noel was basically helping support her and he wouldn’t be able to do that if the band stuff fell through. The mess of the fight resulted in a bunch of stuff that probably should have been said and… noel coming out. great timing son. So yea, he left the house at the ripe age of 18 and has been hanging with his bros ever since. honestly pls protect him
[ 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 ― ❝ LUCKY STRIKE, FILTERTLESS, DON'T PUSH ME. ❞ ]
kay so if you can’t tell the boy is… ambitious ! he’s the type to believe in something and throw his fully self into it because he’s just that dedicated to chasing dreams . killer work ethic , but he’s gotten a better handle on balancing work and fun thanks to his bois. he is insanely lucky which one pushes him to take more risks
kinda goes with the last one but he’s SUCH an open hearted dude . that guy after a break up no matter how messy will probably wanna be friends ( but also messy enough to turn exes into friends with benefits and then catch feelings again.. Issa nasty cycle pls pray )
loves a party , is probably skinny dipping and calling his ex while drunk i- WATCH HIM OK? afskajd
he’s honestly so sweet and humble buuuuut don’t think that means self deprecating cause my son knows hes pretty . he’s got enough self esteem to share and prioritizes #selflove skagja will accept a compliment with a cheeky smile and a simple thank you. so, not arrogant but like he’s not gonna deny the obvious truth? lmaooo
swear to god, he’s bad at keeping secrets and will let u know how he feels. even with crushes so unless he’s feelin nervous for some reason most likely he’ll make the first move. he’s a romantic. he’s just all around really honest
one direction STAN :) skfjadk
[ 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 ― ❝ ᴍᴏɴᴇʏ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ᴍɪɴᴅ , ᴄᴏᴜᴘʟᴇ ʜᴜɴɴɪᴅꜱ ᴀᴛ ᴀ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ❞ ]
Exes are always great , maybe a best friend who isnt’ apart of the band, general friends, bad influences who take him to parties where he’ll inevitably skinny dip, good influences, new crushes, unrequited crush cause we love heart break, neighbors, enemies ( i ?? don’t put it past him to have ended up in a fight while drunk or something cause.. reckless ) people he might’ve met in texas? His band mates ( if you’re lookin to bring a second ;) ) sibling like friendships, anything sis
