A/N: Okay, so I wasn't planning on actually writing one at all. But I got an idea and I thought it was really, really cute. It was going to be longer, but I like where this one ends. I might do more chapters documenting their cutesy hugs, but that's only if I get muse/time. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Disclaimer:I don't own any of it. SWAC, So Random!, Mackenzie Falls, or Channy. I only wish 3

Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do hugs.

Until that day when she changed that. He remembered that day clearly. He had just finished wrapping up the final episode of the season for Mackenzie Falls, and was walking around the sets, headed for a particular one to look for a particular brunette.

"Oh Sonny!" he called out in a sing-song voice, knocking on the door to the dressing room she shared with Tawni before letting himself in. The blond "jerkthrob" had never learned the names of the Random! cast members until Sonny joined and cared if he knew or not. It was weird how he wanted her to know that he cared, but couldn't tell her up front. And it wasn't because he was scared. Chad Dylan Cooper is never scared.

"Chad, not right now, please," a disgruntled sounding Sonny sighed from behind the couch. The seventeen-year-old raised an eyebrow before kneeling on the couch cushions and leaning over teh back to stare at Sonny upside down. "Chad!" the sixteen-year-old cried out, her eyes wide when she noticed his bright blue eyes staring straight at her. She quickly put her head between her knees and hugged them tightly.

"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny," Chad said knowingly, climbing agilely over the couch and sitting next to Sonny. The brunette looked up slowly and cautiously when she felt Chad sit close to her - abnormally close, actually. She could almost feel his skin on hers, just about the closest physical contact they'd had since their fake date. "What's wrong, Sonshine?" he asked, sounding genuinely sincere as he gave her a small smile and she stared at his sparkly blue eyes. She involuntarily smiled at his sincerity and nickname.

"Nothing, Chad, just girl stuff. You would be bored," she said matter-of-factly before resting her chin on her knees, still hugging them close to her. Chad couldn't help but think that she looked rather...cute doing so, and kind of wanted to wrap an arm around her shoulders and tell her everything would be okay. Well, more than kind of, actually.

"I like girls, I like stuff; why don't you try me?" he said jokingly, and she let out a small laugh. That's when he noticed the trails left by the tears she had been crying earlier, the redness in her cheeks where she had furiously swiped them away, and the pink puffiness around her eyes, all confirming that he was about to hear some boy troubles.

"That was pretty amusing, Chad. You could be on So Random! if you really wanted to," Sonny said, her small smile widening a little as she wiped her cheek again, even though I was pretty sure all the tears were already wiped off or had dried up already.

"No thanks, Sonny; I'm a serious actor, remember?" Chad replied, sounding totally serious, but his smile and eyes told her that he was only teasing. "So what's putting a damper on the Sonshine?" he asked again and her smile grew a smidgen before faltering.

"So you know my sort of boyfriend, Will?" she asked and Chad bheld back a grimace before nodding slowly, letting his eyes wander between Sonny's face, her fidgeting fingers, and his own. "He broke up with me...through a text," she said forlornly, hugging her knees tighter. He could tell she was holding back tears and Chad bit the inside of his cheek, trying to find the right words to say and trying to hold back from standing up and storming over to this Will guy's house and beating his face in, or at least giving Sonny a big hug, which, in all honesty, was a weird urge for Chad Dylan Cooper.

"Sonny..." he muttered, trailing off and still thinking. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck, waiting for her to say something.

"Chad," Sonny whispered purposefully, and he looked up at her quickly and expectantly. "I know it's weird to be asking you this but...can I have a hug?" Sonny asked nervously and when Chad didn't say anything immediately, she started rambling. "You see, whenever I was upset back in Wisconsin, my mom would always give me these nice, long hugs and I really need one right now, and, well, you're here right know so I was wondering you I could get one from you and...yeah," she said, taking a deep breath at the end of it all. Then she started staring at Chad, waiting for his answer as he stared blankly, but incredulously at her.

She wanted a hug from him. She wanted a hug from him. She wanted a hug from him. She wanted a hug from him! Hhis thoughts raced as he displayed his options in his head. It didn't take longer than a second for him to make his decision, though.

"Sonny," he started saying slowly. "Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do hugs," he told her matter-of-factly and he noticed her face visibly fall before he continued. "But Chad does," he added, giving her a small genuine smile and when she returned it, the familiar bright shine back in her eyes, he put an arm around her shoulders, slightly awkwardly. It had been a while since he had given anyone a sincere hug.

"Chad," she said hesitantly and he gave her a questioning look. "Hugs are less awkward standing up," she told him helpfully, and he stood up quickly, hiding the soft blush from Sonny, holding a hand out to her. "I didn't know Chad Dylan Cooper was such a gentleman," she joked as she took his hand and stood up.

"He's not," he said as he pulled her into a tight hug. "Chad is," he whispered into her ear, a huge, goofy grin on his face as he relaxed, closing his eyes, and squeezed her a little tighter.

"I could get used to just Chad," Sonny whispered, her eyes closed as she relaxed in his arms and squeezed him tighter as well, and although he couldn't see it, a grin that matched his own was on her face.
