"I just don't know how this happened," chandler sobbed, Joey wrapping his arms around his friend.

"Hey, we'll figure this all out okay? Do you want to tell me what the hell happened with you two?" Chandler sighed.

"Not really, but I guess I will," he pulled away from the hug before settling into Joeys couch. "Okay so I guess it's hard to explain, and you can hate me too if you want but-"

"What do you mean by 'hate me too' exactly?" Joeys voice was a tone chandler had never heard.

" I was getting to that, basically Monica hates me and Ross hates me and Rachel is siding with them because she is closer to them than me but she doesn't want to so i don't know what's happening there and phoebe is trying not to get involved with all the conflict and I know it's all my fault and they have every right to be mad but I still hate it." Chandler couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All he wanted was to dwell on the negative until he hyperventilated enough that he would pass out, and yes that had happened before.

"Okay. Well chan look, whatever you did, I don't care. Okay? I'm with you on all of this. Now, what did you do?" He stroked Chandlers hair softly and draped his arm over Chandlers shoulders, allowing him to get more comfortable.

"Thanks man. I don't know how to uh say uh- I'm well... I'm uhm I'm gay..." Silence. Chandler scrunched his eyes shut, second guessing coming out to Joey. "I shouldn't have told you, huh?"

"Chandler look at me," Joeys tone didn't sound angry or anything so chandler slowly opened his eyes and stared up at him. "Listen, I don't know exactly what to say, I mean I didn't expect this- but what I will say is this: remember when I first moved in, I sorta noticed your you know "gay quality" and I told you I was cool with it, didn't I?" Joey turned chandler to face him. "That still stands." He wrapped his arms around chandler in a hug, "I may be a little bias though because... uh recently I uh kinda realised I'm bisexual, so yeah. But even if I was straight I would stand with you." He wrapped his arms tighter before letting go to look at Chandler.

"Thanks Joe, it means a lot to hear you say that. And if it means anything I'll stand with you on your sexuality too, I've... I've missed you." 

"So uh erm what's happening with you and Monica then?" Joey asked. "And the twins..." he puckered his eyebrows in sympathy.

"I don't know, when I told Monica we got into this big fight and she said she understands and doesn't care that I'm gay, she just wishes I figured it out sooner. She thinks I was leading her on when really I was just scared and confused. I told her I just needed to leave and we could figure it out later and I got phoebe to drive me here in her grandmas cab." Chandler paused, "I didn't know where else to go."

Joey laughed, "chan you know you you're always welcome here. I really care about you." Suddenly chandler realised how close they were and how Joey was clasping his hands in his own, realised how Joey was always the one he could count on, always.

"I care about you too. Maybe even what I feel is... more than caring, Joe," chandler said carefully. He coughed and then stood up, "well uh I'm uh going to get some uh some sleep, see you in the morning Joe." Then he ran to his old room, his bed still there, but not as he left it. It looked as though someone had been sleeping in his bed. "Uhh Joe, hav eyou been... sleeping in here?"

Joey ran into Chandlers room, desperately trying to form words, "uh well you know it's just um.." he muttered something that sounded like "screw it" under his breath and grabbed Chandlers cheek and leaned in to kiss him.
