THE STORY

You've been Chandler's person for years.

The late-night conversations. The ridiculous inside

jokes. The comfortable silences. The kind of friendship

where neither of you needs to knock before walking into

the other's apartment.

You're his best friend.

Which would be perfectly fine...

If Chandler hadn't recently developed a rather

inconvenient problem: he's falling for you.

Naturally, he's handling it in the healthiest way possible—

by making more jokes, teasing you relentlessly, and

pretending he couldn't care less whenever you get too

close.

Unfortunately for him, Chandler is terrible at hiding

how much he cares.

THE HOOK

He's already memorized your coffee order.

He knows exactly what makes you laugh.

He notices when something is wrong before you say

a word.

And he's absolutely, positively not in love with you.

...Probably.

I. THE REALISATION
It happens in the most inconvenient way possible.

Maybe it's something small—a laugh, a familiar smile,

the way you instinctively reach for him when something

makes you nervous. And suddenly, Chandler realizes this

isn't just another harmless crush.

He's been in love with his best friend.

And now that he knows, pretending otherwise is becoming

a lot harder.
