Author's Note: This fic's title is a lyric taken from the song 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol, "If I lay here/if I just lay here/would you lie with me and just forget the world" I was inspired to write a fic about exactly what it says in those lyrics, two people laying together and just forgetting everything else, in this case none other than Joey Tribbiani and Phoebe Buffay. Enjoy, and tell me what you think!
It was the perfect day; a sunny blue sky, birds chirping, a nice summery feeling in the air. Phoebe wanted to get her friends together to go hang out in Central Park on this beautiful day, but everyone was busy except for Joey. So it ended up being her and Joey. They were casually strolling through the park, enjoying the day, when, completely out of the blue, Joey turned to Phoebe and said:
"You look really beautiful today, Pheebs." She blushed and thanked him, telling him he didn't look too shabby either. "We don't hang out enough, just the two of us. We should really do this more often." He added. She nodded in agreement and thought to herself in wonder, what the hell was going on? Joey had never been like this with her, but then again they were barely alone. Was there something going on? Soon enough her questions were answered, when Joey leaned in for a kiss. Not really knowing what to do, she let it happen and found it to be enjoyable, kissing back. They broke apart and she smiled, her face flushed in excitement. Joey looked into her eyes and smiled back, a genuine, friendly smile, then took her hand and walked her to a grassy area where they sat down, still holding hands.
They turned to look at each other. Joey noted how the sun shone down on Phoebe's golden hair, and across her face, lighting it up. He found it to be quite beautiful and fantastic, looking at her like this. Phoebe, in turn, contemplated the contrast between the bright sunny sky in comparison to Joey's dark hair around his defined features, and saw two beautiful things together forming something perfect. Joey lay down on the grass, folding his hands underneath his head to hold it up. Phoebe lay down too, and put her head on Joey's shoulder. They stared up at the sky, looking for shapes in the clouds.
Joey breathed in the scent of Phoebe's hair, the smell of her Aloe Vera shampoo mixed with her natural smell. He couldn't place it exactly, but he knew it smelled amazing. Phoebe inhaled the musk of Joey's manliness, but colored with a tinge of sweet sensitivity that was rather prevalent today. She noticed how his aura felt pinkish; did this mean he was in love? With her? Phoebe didn't know if she was ready for that. But she didn't need to know right now either. All she needed to do, and all she wanted to do, was lay there, with Joey, who had put his arm around her now, breathing him in, and just forget everything else in the world. All that mattered was that moment. And boy, did his arm feel nice around her. She snuggled in a little closer to him and smiled to herself. Maybe she did love him. To test it out, she decided to kiss him again. Yes, there were definite sparks. She wondered how the others were going to take the news. But again, she cleared her head of those thoughts, and any others that were not pertaining to this moment and its perfection. All she needed was to lay there, and just forget the world.
