Hey guys(: So, this story was originally posted on my Glee account, darrenmakestheworldgoround, but since I find Glee waaayy too difficult to write for, and I've decided to start using this account again, I moved it onto this one. So, please, don't accuse me of "stealing" this fic.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonny With a Chance
Chad Dylan Cooper didn't have time for love. Believe it or not, but when you're the star of Mackenzie Falls, you tend to have a pretty packed schedule. He had promos to shoot, episodes to rehearse, magazine covers to model, a reputation to uphold, and a certain Random to annoy.
If Chad was honest, annoying Sonny was by far the best part of his day. Something about the way her face would scrunch up a little and her hands ever so slightly ball into fists entertained Chad. He couldn't deny that, on the rare occasion he caught her off-guard and she got flustered, she was cute. Then again, everything Sonny did was cute. Not that Chad would ever admit that, at least not out loud. So, as you can imagine, Chad had to make a daily round past Sonny's dressing room. Justso he could annoy her. That's all.
The visit would normally go somewhere along the lines of him of overhearing something between Sonny and Tawni, him making a sarcastic comment, Sonny making a comment back, "Fine" "Fine" "Good" "Good", and he was gone. For such a small part of his day, it sure held a lot of meaning to him.
Sometimes Chad wondered why. When Mandy had been on the show, Chad hadn't even bothered to learn the Randoms' names. He just knew he hated them. Ever since Sonny joined, he made it his business to know everything he could about So Random! If Tawni had a new boyfriend, Chad knew who it was. Notbecause he cared who Tawni dated, but because when the two inevitably broke up, he had to make sure the recently-dumped boy stayed far away from Sonny. If Sonny had another guy in her life, how was Chad supposed to annoy her? It was pretty selfish of him, he'll admit, to want to keep her so isolated from the male gender. (Grady and Nico exceptions, of course, as they hardly constituted as male.) It scared Chad, though. He'd never before felt the overwhelming need to keep everyone of the same sex away from one girl. But Sonny was just different, he told himself. Everyone agreed she was. Nobody was naturally that perky, or funny, or nice, or pretty.
When Chad really thought about it, he really didn't have to wonder why. He knew, deep down inside he knew. Chad Dylan Cooper was absolutely, completely in love with Allison "Sonny" Munroe. He could never admit it, though. Chad Dylan Cooper had a reputation to protect, and girls to date. He liked relationships better when he didn't have to feel anything. He knew if he dated Sonny he'd feel. He'd feel a lot. Jealousy, whenever any guy was near her and making her laugh. Hurt, whenever she canceled on him (even if it was for a good reason.) Anger with himself whenever hehurt her. (Because, let's face it, it's bound to happen.) And loneliness whenever he wasn't with her.
Sure, he'd also feel incredibly happy, more than he ever had before, whenever he was with Sonny. He'd feel like he was walking on cloud nine everyday. But all those negative feelings would still be there, and that was too much for Chad to handle.
It was the hardest thing for Chad to admit, but he wasn't the settling type. He doubted he'd be ready for a real relationship with someone any time soon. And that was why he couldn't date Sonny, no matter how much he desperately wanted to. If he did, they'd break up. She'd be hurt, he'd be hurt, they'd never be friends again. At least, not the way they used to be. And Chad just couldn't imagine that. For now, he'd just settle for pestering her, and scaring away any potential boyfriends. Maybe someday in the future Chad would be ready to date Sonny. (In all honesty, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.) But right now was too soon. He knew himself, he'd end up loosing her. That wasn't something Chad could go through. Until then, he'd just enjoy his daily visits to her dressing room, because Chad Dylan Cooper didn't have time for love.
Reviews are love (:
