Monica could feel Chandler's hand getting clammy as they walked down the stairs, she gave him a reassuring smile in attempt to ease his tension. They got close to the bottom of the stairs and Chandler pulled his hand away from Monica's, she turned and faced him.
"What are you doing?" she asked him.
"What am I doing? What do you mean what am I doing? What are we doing, we are literally crazy" Chandler panicked.
"Chandler you were the one that wanted to tell everyone in the first place you can't back out now" Monica pointed out.
"Okay, okay, just give me a second alright?" Chandler said trying to prepare himself.
She looked at him, waiting.
He took her hand "okay, let's get this over with then."
She smiled at him and carried on walking seeing Phoebe first who just smiled at them both. Chandler could feel himself sweating as he saw Ross sat on the couch talking to Rachel, he hadn't noticed them yet. Unfortunately that didn't last long as Rachel did and she stop talking and looked up in shock.
Ross followed her gaze to where his eyes locked on where their hands were locked. He looked at them both confused.
"Um, wh-whatcha doing there?" he asked looking at them both.
Monica looked at Chandler and waited for him to say something, instead he pushed her forward volunteering her to speak. She glared at him.
"Well, um, me and Chandler, are, um sorta going to be...dating" her last word coming out as barely a whisper.
"What?" Ross asked standing up.
"She said dating" Joey said walking past with a sandwich.
"Oh my god, seriously, no no no no no!" Ross exclaimed continuing.
Chandler swallowed hard watching his friend as he continued to rant on.
"Seriously! My little sister Chandler, really?"
"Yeah well your 'little sister' happens to be the most out of my league, beautiful, funny, amazing woman I've ever been with" Chandler said finally speaking up stepping in front of her.
Ross stopped "you mean that?"
"Yes of course I mean that."
Monica stayed quiet but squeezed his hand.
Ross sat on the couch again, calming down.
"So have you two ,like, already had sex?" Rachel asked inappropriately.
Monica bit her tongue and Chandler went wide eyed looking back at Ross who was waiting for them to answer.
"You know I think we're gonna go out for a bit" Chandler said deciding to flee the situation walking quickly out the door with Monica trailing behind him.
Ross immediately got up going after them, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey all looked at each other, Rachel more confused then them.
"I'm gonna go after him, you two stay here, pizza may arrive in the time I'm gone" Joey said getting up and running out the door after him.
He jogged and caught up with Ross who was storming down the beach after them. He stood in front of him and put both his hands on his arms.
"Ross don't be an ass, this is stupid" Joey said.
Ross struggled to get past him "let me past Joey!"
"No! This is stupid, so what Monica and Chandler are together, no big deal."
"But it is a big deal!"
"Why? Would you rather she went out with some guy who you didn't know at all or would you rather she was with someone who you knew deserved her and would take care of her and make her happy?"
"How do I know he's going to take care of her and make her happy?"
"You look at them on the beach now and you tell me he doesn't care about her, cause to it looks like they are gonna be just fine together."
He looked over at them walking along the beach, Monica's head rested against his arm, his arm wrapped around her.
He smiled a little glad that Joey had stopped him, he was right, they would make a good couple.
He turned to Joey "alright, let's go back inside, I suppose I can deal with them being together."
"Glad you agree, now let's leave them to it and get some pizza."
"Oh that was bad, so so bad" Chandler said relieved to be outside.
"Well it could of gone a bit better" Monica agreed.
"Ross looked like he wanted to kill me, especially after what Rachel said."
"Yeah I know, he'll get over it, he's going to have to."
"Well I hope he gets over it soon cause I'm not going back until he is."
Monica laughed a little and rested her head on his arm as they strolled along the beach, the moon shining down on them.
He gently kissed the top of her head and let go of her hand, putting his arm around her waist. They walked for a while before finding a dry spot of sand to sit on watching the waves crash against the shore. After an about an hour of talking they were lying on their backs looking up at the stars. Monica laid her head on Chandlers chest, listening to his heartbeat where she eventually drifted off to sleep. Chandler stroked her hair as she slept for a while and watched her, smiling.
Monica awoke the next morning to find herself in her own bed, still fully clothed. She yawned and confused she sat up seeing Chandler fully clothed lying next to her also. She left him asleep and went downstairs where Ross was sat eating breakfast with Phoebe.
"Morning" Ross said to her.
"Morning" she said yawning again ruffling her hair.
She sat down next to him and waited for the lecture to begin about how he disapproved of her and Chandler but to her surprise he said nothing.
"So, you okay?" she asked eventually.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"What even about me and Chandler?"
"If he makes you happy then yes."
She felt a surge of relief "he really does make me happy."
"Well then that's good enough for me."
"Thank you" she said hugging him.
At this point Chandler walked down the stairs and jumped when he saw Ross.
"H-hello" he said choking up already.
"Morning man" Ross said calmly.
Chandler raised his eyebrows confused.
"You okay?" Chandler asked.
"Yeah I'm okay"Ross said smiling at him "I'm fine with you and Monica as well."
"Oh thank god" Chandler said relaxing.
"You two are an amazing couple, even Ross couldn't deny that" Phoebe said getting up,
"Thanks Pheebs" Chandler said laughing.
"That's alright, I'm off to the beach now, it's boiling outside and I want to catch a tan before we go home tomorrow, you coming Ross?"
"Yeah okay" he said following her out the door "see ya."
"Bye" Monica and Chandler said being left alone.
He stepped towards her "alone at last" he murmured kissing her.
"Finally" Monica said back through kisses. This was the happiest she had ever been, she didn't want it to end, she knew that with Chandler in her life the feeling would never end and that's how she intended to keep it.
