First Chuck fanfic!!
It had come to this. He knew it would. It was time for Chuck to grow up. Grow up and get his own place. Living with Ellie and Captain Awesome after they were married was not an option, even if Ellie and Captain kept insisting that he could stay.
Chuck knew it was time to look, but where could he afford. Did he get a roommate? Living with Morgan was an option, but then he would be spending too much of his day with him. Chuck needed his own space. Time to grab an Apartment Guide and start looking. He looked at his watch and noticed it was time for his lunch hour. Chuck clocked out and was heading out of the Buy More quietly trying to keep his friends from noticing. He needed time to be by himself. He grabbed the Apartment Guide from outside the Buy More and went to sit in his Nerd Herder so he could look for his apartment.
He had a pen in his mouth and was looking through the magazine when a knock came at the window. He was startled and dropped the pen in his lap. It was Sarah with a hot dog from Weinerlicious. Chuck pushed the window button.
"I thought you'd like some lunch." Sarah said with a smile handing him the hot dog. She notices he is looking at the Apartment Guide.
"Thanks, I'm not really that hungry though." Chuck said as he took the hot dog.
"Ellie and Awesome kicking you out?" Ellie questioned.
Chuck smiled softly, "No, but I think I need to move out before the honeymoon starts. Not really in the mood to be living with them after the wedding, if you know what I mean."
"Do you want me to help you look for a place?" Sarah asked, hoping he would accept her offer.
Chuck smiled and hesitated before answering, "I appreciate the offer, but I think I need to do this on my own."
"Well, the offer stands if you ever want me to help," Sarah replied saddened.
Chuck looked at his watch and noticed his lunch was over, he gathered himself and started to exit the car. Sarah stood back to let him out.
"I better get back to work," Chuck said with an apprehensive smile. "I'll see you later, I guess."
"Sure," Sarah responded.
Chuck started to walk back towards the Buy More. Sarah watched him. She could tell something was bothering him, but couldn't tell what it was.
"Hey, Chuck," Sarah yelled out.
Chuck turned around. Sarah walked up to him. "Yeah." Sarah gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Everything is going to be okay. Okay?" Sarah said with a caring smile.
"I know." Chuck responded.
"You want to do something tonight? I am off in a few hours." Sarah was trying to make him feel better.
"Maybe. I'll call you. I have to see if I need to work overtime. Can't really afford my own apartment without working overtime." Chuck said reluctantly. He turned and headed back into the Buy More leaving Sarah to looking on.
