Joey's POV:
"I love you Chandler," I said as I kissed him."Love you more," he said before returning the kiss.
I screamed as I bolted upright gasping for breath.
"Joey," Chandler yelled as he ran in, "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Hey, yeah," I began as tears filled my eyes, "Sorry. It was a nightmare."
"Okay," he breathed, "You sure you're okay?"
I nodded and told him to go so I could get a hold of myself in peace. Once he left I let the tears fall as I cried into my pillow until I fell asleep.
Chandler's POV:
"What's up with Joey," Monica asked as she leaned into me."I don't know," I said, "He's been acting weird for the last couple of days and the nightmare he-"
"Nightmare," she interrupted, "What was it about?"
"He wouldn't tell me," I answered, "He woke up screaming and when I left I heard him crying until he fell asleep."
"Poor guy," she sympathized, "You should talk to him tonight."
"Tonight," I asked, "But we have a date tonight."
"We can have it tomorrow," she said, "I know we've been looking forward to this but I also know how much Joey means to you. Talk to him and if anyone asks why we canceled just say I don't feel well."
"Okay," I agreed, "Okay, I'll talk to him."
"Good," she said before kissing me, "Don't stop until he tells you."
I nodded and watched her leave as I thought about what to do until Joey got back.
Time Skip to when Joey gets home:
Chandler's POV:
"Hey Joey," I said when I heard the door."Hey Chandler," he responded, "I thought you were supposed to be on a date with Monica?"
"I was," I began, "She wasn't feeling good so we might try again tomorrow."
He nodded as he headed for his room.
"Hey," I said stopping him, "Can we talk?"
"Sure," he whispered as he sat down, "What's up?"
"I wanted to talk about what's been bugging you lately," I said.
Joey's POV:
"Bugging me," I said quickly, "Nothing's bugging me.""Joey," he said gently, "Please tell me what's wrong. I only want to help you, you know that."
"Yeah, I know," I sighed, "It's just hard to tell you."
"What is it," he pressed on, "You can take your time but I just want to know the problem so I can help you."
I laughed and said, "Nothing can be done to fix this Chandler."
He wiped the tears from my face (which I didn't know where there) as he pleaded, "Please just tell me Joey, I won't tell anyone."
"You know how I can never be with a girl for more than a few days or weeks," I asked as he nodded, "I think I know the problem with that. I think...I think I'm starting to like guys instead."
"Joey," Chandler softly interrupted, "There's nothing wrong with that. Why do you think it's so bad?"
"I don't think that part is bad," I began, "It's who I like."
