Friends Fanfiction Chapter 1- the worry
Monica's POV:
I was snuggling up to chandler in bed, when suddenly my hand caressed this sharp judder along the side of his stomach. ' Ouch Mon do you mind?' I lifted up the sheets and saw that it was a bone. A protruding hip bone.' My god Chandler, you've lost a lot of weight. Hell of a lot'. He sat up indignantly like I had insulted him.' I don't know what you are talking about, ' then he softened his voice 'it's just the way I was positioned mon, shush go to sleep sweetie'.Like I was going to fall for that sweet talk, well maybe, just a little. ' Chan,have you got a problem? Are you not eating, purposefully ?' I couldn't even believe what I was saying , come on, I mean he wouldn't, would he? ' Could you be any more dramatic mon?' He chuckled his beautiful face lighting up the way it does when he always cracks a joke. ' I'm not being dramatic Chan, I'm just concerned'. He put his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek. 'Mon, would I ever lie to you? No. I'm fine, didn't you witness me devour your speciality Mac and Cheese earlier?'. Thinking back, I did see him eat it, but devour was the wrong word, his eating lacked any gusto. But I suppose he did eat so I have to agree there.
Chandler clumsily stumbled around the bed. ' I'm just going to the bathroom mon, and honestly don't worry, I'm fine and if I wasn't, I would tell you my princess'. He swept in for one last kiss and then strolled out of the door with his usual nonchalance.
I snuggled back down in the blankets, I'm just being silly of course nothing is wrong with chandler, but that's not going to stop me keeping an eye on him anyway.
Chandler's POV:
Oh my god. Jesus I sound like Janice, but oh my god Monica's on to me. I was stupid to not keep my self covered, I mean I had a perfect excuse anyway it's winter. Could I be anymore stupid. Shit. Well I've got to be more careful for future reference. Anyway, what hip bone? All I see is Chandler's novelty jelly belly. Jesus Christ, I'm going to look like one of those obese Americans on the tv if I don't watch out. How did Monica ever fall for me? I mean, she is beautiful. I'm chubby chandler who is a socially awkward freak that uses humour as a defence mechanism because I'm so embarrassed of myself. I need to lose more weight or Monica is going to ditch me for Richard. I mean he's mature, smart and better looking than I will ever be. Though mind you, thank god I hid Monica's Mac and Cheese in a napkin or I would be even bigger. I've got to be more vigilant around Monica as she is on to me, but the others don't have a clue. They just think I'm annoying chandler who is always happy. Christ, if only they knew. I'm a self conscious, anxiety ridden man, who is not eating at all because I am so disgusting. I mean, how many men have to stop eating because they are so vile. Embarrassing much.
I stare in the mirror and feel tears spring to my eyes. Great. Could I be anymore pathetic? I'm a crybaby on top of everything else. Just another flaw to add to the list.
" Chandler where are you, I miss your touch" I hear my beautiful mon shout, god I need to improve myself or I'm going to lose her.
" Coming my little princess", I wipe away the tears and put on the Happy Chandler face. My talent, maybe I should become an actor like Joey , I mean that's one thing I'm good at right?
