"Ah, stop it," Jughead wasn't sure he liked being called king. Especially not by Archie. It made their relationship seem subservient. He definitely didn't want that. He was equal with Archie and he wouldn't see it any other way. He hoped that Archie saw things the same way. It would be hard to comprehend if he didn't. If Archie saw it as something other than love but a play for status in whatever group they were in.
He was glad that Archie was okay with not going to a loud party. To be honest, it really wasn't Jughead wasn't the bar crawl time of partier. Not that he wouldn't if Archie really wanted to. "Sweet, that place smells good," he said as he walked by a restaurant. That was his way of asking if they could go there to grab dinner. Asking without really asking.
