Circus


One day, he's going to learn to say no to Joey.

But currently it isn't important. Despite the hour long drive, filled with animated discussions about evil clowns and savage lions, they're at some seedy little circus.

Everything smells like popcorn and fairyfloss, the bright gaudy lights are hurting his eyes a little, and he has an arm around Joey's waist, leaning close against him. They're out in public, and he can lean in and sniff his hair and smile at him, and no one notices the gesture.

Joey beams back, and Chandler finds himself eagerly agreeing to the next outing his best-friend-turned-lover has planned.
