A/N: Well I was working on pretty much all of my other stories, when I got bored of it, and decided that I had this idea for awhile and decided I'd go with it. I haven't seen Bows and Eros yet, but since it was a Valentine's them, and Eros was the other name for Cupid, I decided I'd do this story. Just what I mean... you'll have to wait and see.

!!Warning!!: This story, unlike my other, will have serious AxA fluff- at least that's the plan. So, if you aren't into the major fluff scenes- simple solution: Don't read.

Full Summary: Archie has liked Atlanta for quite awhile now, but she still remains in the dark about his feelings for her. But when Atlanta's hit with "Cupid's" badly aimed arrow (I say Cupid because "Eros' Arrow" sounds odd, but he will be referred to as Eros), the first person she sees is Archie, and now she can't get enough of him! At first, no one realizes, and Archie is torn when he realizes that Atlanta's newfound feelings for him are just effects of the arrow. But when the effects of the arrow has been reversed... does Atlanta still have some feelings for Archie? Read and find out.

Note: Okay as far as I know, Eros or as he is known in Roman mythology, "Cupid", has to hit both people with an arrow in order for them to fall for each other, however for the sake of the story and the idea I have, it's been changed to how it is now and how it is portrayed on TV- who knows, maybe in different versions of any legend regarding Eros, that's how it is.

Chapter One: Movies and Pizza

"Atlanta... we've been friends for awhile, and... I've wanted to ask you this for awhile, but... I guess I was afraid you'd reject me, or worse, tease me about it endlessly. Or, even more worse, ruin our friendship. But I really, really like you and..." Archie groaned and sat back down on his bed. No matter how he worded it, no matter how much he tried to make it sound good, it always came out sounding terrible, and he was sure if he ever actually said it to Atlanta, she'd laugh him off the face of the earth. Well maybe that's an exaggeration, Archie thought miserably. But it can't be too far off... but I should really give her the benefit of the doubt. She's my friend- she might find it weird, but I don't think she'd be mean about it. Then again, why take that chance? Archie thought. He jumped when there was a knock at his door, and he walked over and opened it. Standing in the doorway, was none other than the girl who had been on his mind most of the day- and even more than that.

"Hey Arch, listen, Herry's driving the others in to go and get pizza, I told them we'd pick some movies out for the night- we'll have to pick a few movies out because you know that Theresa will freak if there's no chick flick, and Odie likes a thriller- so let's say we get three movies. Come on, are you just going to stand there all day?" Atlanta added, in a teasing tone. Archie grinned back at her.

"No," he told her. "I'm going to- race you to Herry's truck!" Archie exclaimed, and with that he raced off. Atlanta grinned and began running her fastest, passing Archie on the stairs and beating him to the truck in record time. By the time Archie got there, Atlanta was already sitting in the backseat of Herry's truck, seatbelt on and a grin on her face. Archie opened the back door and slid in next to her.

"Someone's a little slow today," Atlanta teased. Archie rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I could have beaten you in a fair race," Archie accused.

"Are you saying I cheated?" Atlanta demanded. The rest of the team came out of the dorm and hopped into Herry's truck.

"Well you do have the advantage of super-speed," Archie informed her. Atlanta rolled her eyes. Crossing her arms, she glanced out the window and refused to talk to Archie after that. Archie sighed and leaned back in the seat, relaxing. He knew Atlanta would get over it eventually, like she always did. She's quite competitive... Archie observed. Hiding his grin, he couldn't help but also think, but then again, so am I.

Herry pulled the truck over and parked it near the park where they normally jogged. Jay looked at his watch and then once everyone was out of Herry's truck, he leaned against the door.

"The pizza probably won't be ready for half an hour- should we meet back here?" Jay asked.

"If you guys get here first and Archie and I aren't back within five minutes, just head home, we'll walk it's not far." Atlanta told him. She grabbed Archie's arm, and started dragging him in the direction of the movie rental store. Theresa just watched them leave and shook her head, a smile already forming on her face. Herry noticed the grin that had suddenly appeared on Theresa's face and looked back at her, confused.

"What?" he asked. Theresa just shook her head and started walking towards the pizza place.

"Nothing, Herry." Theresa told him.

"How about this one?" Archie asked, holding up a gory movie. Atlanta sighed and grabbed it from him frustrated and placed it back on the shelf. She rolled her eyes and left the movie aisle, moving on elsewhere. Archie followed her, appearing to be confused. "What?" he asked her. "That was an awesome movie! Theresa would've watched it," Archie added, but not very convincing.

"Right, she hates movies like that! We already picked out a cool movie, now we have to get a chick flick for Theresa," Atlanta told him with a sigh. Archie groaned and looked longingly back at the gory movie before following Atlanta to the chick flick aisle- the dreaded aisle of movies no sane guy should be made to watch. At least, that was his opinion- he was sure most guys shared it with him as well.

"Fine," Archie replied reluctantly. He looked on the shelves and tried to honestly think of what movie they could watch that would be good. And once he realized he was doing that, he burst out laughing.

"Now what?" Atlanta asked him. Archie shook his head, trying not to laugh. Atlanta rolled her eyes. "Whatever, come on, help me pick out a movie!" she told him.

"Hey, you're a girl, how hard can it be?" Archie asked her.

"Thanks for noticing Arch," Atlanta told him sarcastically. "But even though I'm a girl, I don't know what movie Theresa wants." Atlanta told him. Archie glanced around at the movie selections, and sighed. If Theresa wants a chick flick so bad, why couldn't she tell us what movie to get? Or at least give us some options. Archie thought, irritated.

"How long have we been here?" Atlanta asked suddenly. Archie shrugged.

"How should I know? It feels like forever now..." Archie told her. "Let's just grab something that looks mushy and let's go." He suggested. Atlanta quickly grabbed one of the movies from the shelf, and took it up to the counter to pay for the others as well. When they left and went back to the park, the red truck was gone. I'd bet my leg brace that they didn't wait for us and this was planned. Archie thought, unable to keep a grin from his face. Atlanta saw the smirk appearing on his face and looked at him confused.

"What?" she asked. Archie quickly lost the grin and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, uh... just figured Herry was too hungry to wait. We should head back before they eat everything," he lied. Atlanta seemed to accept that answer, and started walking. Archie stayed still a moment, watching her, and sighed before catching up. Atlanta... I wish I could just ask you out.

---

"So why didn't we wait for Archie and Atlanta again?" Herry asked as he parked near their dorm. Theresa grabbed the pizza from the backseat and sighed.

"Because Archie really likes Atlanta, and we wanted to force them to have a bit more time alone together," she explained, as if explaining the most obvious thing in the world. Probably because she was, at least in her mind. Neil, who had previously been observing his beautifully manicured nails, laughed as he got out of the car.

"More time alone together? They're always alone together," Neil told Theresa, strutting past her into the dorm. Theresa groaned and shook her head. No matter how hard she tried, she would never make the guys understand the importance of what she was trying to do- which was get Archie and Atlanta together. I know that Archie likes her, it's only too obvious. But Atlanta... nobody knows how she feels, but I think if she knew that Archie liked her, she'd see she did too. Am I the only one who thinks it would be the greatest thing ever if two of our best friends ended up together? Theresa thought. She placed the pizza down on the table in the living room, and pulled the curtain back from the window. Archie and Atlanta were nowhere in sight, and Theresa smiled to herself, sinking into a comfortable position on the couch. Herry, who was very hungry and unwilling to wait for Archie and Atlanta, had decided to make something quick to eat so that they could save the pizza for the movie. Neil- well, Theresa wasn't sure exactly where he had gone off too, but if she had to make a guess, she would say that he was probably in his room posing for himself in front of his body length mirrors. Jay she knew for a fact was discussing something with Odie in his room, and Theresa was sure that something was probably to do with Cronus. As usual... She added in her mind with a sigh.

After awhile, Theresa got bored of staring out the window watching for Archie and Atlanta, and decided to turn on the TV and see what was on, at least until they had movies to watch. A few minutes into one of her favourite sitcoms, and Theresa was completely unaware of a laughing pair of teens entering the dorm- Archie and Atlanta had finally arrived.

"I can't believe you did that," Archie replied, laughing. Atlanta shrugged, a huge grin plastered across her face.

"Well somebody had to." she told him, entering the living room. "You were just sitting there like a dork," she added. Archie stopped laughing and glared at her, but soon shook his head grinning again. He noticed Theresa smiling at them from the couch, and frowned.

"What?" he asked her suddenly. Theresa just shook her head, but the smile never disappeared from her face. Atlanta sat down on the floor in front of the table and placed the movies down.

"Okay, I hope this one is okay for a chick flick," Atlanta replied, handing the movie to Theresa. As soon as she had passed the movie over, Theresa squealed in delight.

"I've been dying to see this movie! How did you know to get it?" she asked excitedly. Atlanta, who had been blasted with Theresa's squeal, was still in a bit of a daze.

"I just looked at the movie that had the most copies there, and that seemed to be the most rented out. This was the only copy left- but you owe me big time Theresa, the guy behind the counter just looked at me like I was some kind of weird... moron." Atlanta told her. At the mention of the guy behind the counter, Archie frowned and crossed his arms. He muttered something that Atlanta didn't quite catch, but Archie didn't mind- he never meant for her to hear what he said anyways.

"So I guess you two finally got back," Jay replied, entering the room. Herry, Odie and Neil followed close behind him, and Herry quickly grabbed a seat on the couch.

"All right, pizza!" he exclaimed, opening the box. Everyone just laughed, and settled down into a comfortable position. Jay, Theresa, Herry and Neil were sitting on the couch. Odie had curled up into a comfortable position in a chair, and Archie and Atlanta were lying on the floor, leaning their heads on their hands.

"So what movie do you guys want to watch first?" Jay asked. Theresa grabbed the chick flick from the table.

"This one!" she exclaimed happily. Jay forced a smile.

"Oh, well... Archie and Atlanta got a horror flick. Why don't we watch that first, and then we can watch this movie... to help you forget about the horror movie." Jay suggested. Theresa pouted, but brightened up.

"Sounds good!" she exclaimed again. Jay passed Archie the horror flick and Herry turned out the lights. Archie put the movie into the DVD player and got back into his comfortable position on the floor. He couldn't help but glance over at Atlanta, so close beside him he could smell her shampoo emitting from her hair. Atlanta, feeling as though someone was watching her, turned and faced Archie, seeing his gaze never leave her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it and smiled back at him instead before returning her gaze to the TV screen. Archie sighed and looked back at the TV as well, seeing the movie starting.

---

About halfway through the movie, Atlanta started to find it getting a little scarier than she had planned. Normally, horror flicks did nothing to her, but for some reason, she was jumping and actually not finding this one extremely lame. She turned her head to face the back and saw that Theresa was hiding her face in Jay's sweater, clearly terrified and regretting her agreement to watch this movie first. Atlanta saw Odie covering his mouth, ready to get sick- Herry, munching on popcorn slowly, as if the drama in this film was something not to be taken lightly- but also not something to interrupt the growling of his stomach. Neil covered his face, peeking through his hands at the blood being splattered in the movie. Atlanta jumped when she suddenly saw Archie, who had sat up and grabbed another piece of pizza. Archie saw her jump and grinned.

"Scared?" he asked her. Atlanta shook her head.

"Of course not- it's just some lame horror movie," she added. She turned her attention back to the screen and gulped, hiding her head in her hands. Go figure, a movie that's actually scary... Atlanta thought sarcastically. I swear, if Archie says one word, I'll- Atlanta stopped thinking and lifted her head out of her hands as she felt Archie scoot closer to her. She stared at him, questioningly, but Archie shrugged and leaned towards her ear.

"It's okay to be scared, Lanta." he whispered. With that, he moved back to where he had been and lied back on the floor, the pizza he had been eating long gone. Atlanta smiled gratefully at him and lied down next to him, staring at the screen. Whenever a scary part came, she hid her head in her hands and whenever Archie noticed, he smiled at her and shook his head. Who would've thought Atlanta would actually find a scary movie- scary?

A/N: Well this was a bit more of an introduction to Archie's feelings and a good ol' feel-good type thing. I'll be posting the next chapter soon anyway, so no worries. You'll get to see Atlanta get- -gasp!- hit with Cupid's arrow. R&R, let me know what you think. And be prepared, hopefully, for some serious AA fluff- maybe not next chapter (not sure yet) but for sure the one after that.
