Heya, I didn't want to post this until I had finished my other two but I'm having trouble with those two and with my exams coming REALLY close now I'm going to leave them for a while, I will continue them as soon as I can though. This one came to me in a dream and I woke up before it ended lol. So here's my version, enjoy!!!! Oh and if anyone can help think of a title I'll be extremely grateful.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Friends characters, although the voices in my head say different.
Chandler stood by the door nervously. He stared at the brass number 20 and contemplated whether to knock or walk straight in. he had been away too long to just walk in and it would be easier somehow if someone else announced that he was there.
He took a deep breath and reached his hand up to the door to knock on the door, his knuckles millimetres from the wood but it refused to knock. He gulped and went for it
Knock knock. His hand was shaking again as it went back to beside his thigh. He was beyond nervous. He had been gone a long time and had no idea what their reaction to him returning would be. He heard footsteps coming to the door, closely followed by the door being opened. This was it. The door was open and he was standing face to face with Phoebe. He was sure that his heart had stopped as she stared at him.'Hey.' he whispered, not knowing what else to say. Phoebe continued to stare at him, open mouth and wide eyes. There was a faint call from the living room as Ross wanted to know who was at the door.
'Oh my God.' She gasped and flung herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He grabbed her closer to him, relieved that she wanted to see him and desperate to be close to his friends again.
'It's so good to see you again!' He whispered in to her hair. He heard her choke out a sob and saw tears streaming down her face as she pulled back.
'Same here.' She whispered back before physically pulling him into the room.
'Guys! Look!' She yelled, much louder then necessary seeing as all the gang had come in to the kitchen to see who it was Phoebe was hugging in the doorway, out of sight.
'Chandler!' Joey exclaimed. Without a second thought he ran over and hugged Chandler, lifting him off the ground in a embrace that left both of them breathless from lack of oxygen. 'Where have you BEEN man?' He said with tears in his eyes. Chandler had tears in his eyes too, he hadn't expected such a warm welcome.
He didn't have a chance to answer the question that had been put forward as Ross and Rachel hugged him as well.
'Whoa!' Chandler exclaimed as he looked at Rachel properly. 'Your pregnant!'
'Oh thank God! I thought I was getting fat.' Rachel joked, winking as Chandler laughed. He stopped as soon as he set eyes on the one person who hadn't yet said anything or made any move.
'Monica?' He said, parting himself from the rest of the group to stand near her. Maybe everyone wasn't happy to see him after all. Still it was to be expected really.
'Chandler.' Monica stated. They stood there in silence for a moment, their friends watching them as they locked gaze.
Without warning Monica grabbed Chandler in a breathtaking embrace.
'Where the hell were you?' She whispered in his ear. She pulled back and looked in to his deep blue eyes. 'I missed you.'
'I missed you too.' Chandler told her sincerely. His voice was low and love filled. Their lips joined in a tender kiss that seemed to take them away from everything that had happened and in to their own little world that existed whenever they made love or kissed like this. It was a passion filled existence that was present just for them.
Monica stood back to give Chandler some air, he had a lot of explaining to do.
