He pulls you closer and pecks your lips once more.

You giggle and place a hand on his chest, “I told you; I need to go.”

He sticks his bottom lip out. “Can’t you stay for breakfast.”

You look from one eye to the other, patting his chest. “I told you; I need to leave before Monica finds out.”

“She wouldn’t find out. No one has and it's been six months, come on. Please,” he begs.

“And this has been our routine to prevent anyone from finding out.”

“Isn’t there any way I could… persuade you?”

You smile and cup his cheek. “Maybe next time.” You peck his lips before slipping your shoes on and grabbing your bag.

You glance up, catching him watching you. “What are you doing?”

He shrugs, leaning against the doorway. “Just watching you.”

“That’s not creepy.”

He chuckles. “I’ll see you later?”

“Yep, Monica’s dragging me to hang out with you guys.”

He nods, “alright.”

You stand in front of him, placing your hand on the back of his neck, playing with the short hair there. “I’ll see you later, okay?”

He gives you a halfhearted smile. “Yeah.”

You peck his lips, “I put some extras in the fridge for you.”

“You’re the best.”

“I know. Bye, J.” You close the door and find Chandler reaching for the newspaper.

You open your mouth to respond but can’t find an answer and bolt down the stairs.

The sarcastic man runs into the apartment across from him and barges through the door.

Joey turns around, with a mouth full of food. “What?”

-

You enter the apartment with Monica in tow behind you.

“Come on, tell me.”

You scoff, “no.”

“Please.”

“No, Mon. I will not tell you about it.”

“Just one detail, that’s all I’m asking.”

You set your bag down on the kitchen table, “Mon, no. I am a big girl, and I am not going to tell you.”

She pouts.

“What are we not sharing?” Rachel chimes in. 

You roll your eyes, “guys please.”

“It’s about that guy, isn’t it?” Phoebe adds.

“Mister best you’ve ever had?” Rachel nods.

You throw your head back and groan, “this is not what I wanted to deal with today.”

“What’s this about the best you’ve ever had?” Chandler chimes in.

You glance at him from the corner of your eye, “nothing.”

“Huh, I mean, you know that’s funny.” He starts off. “Because I heard something similar to that the other day.”

You shrug and head towards the fridge, “really?”

“Yeah, Joe was just telling me about this girl he’s been seeing.”

“Joey, I didn’t realize you were dating anyone?” Monica says.

He chuckles before turning to his best friend and giving him a hard look. “Uh- yeah, you know we’re not serious or anything, which is what we both talked about, and it’s been- it’s been fun.” He leans against the fridge.

You close the door and sneak looks at him. “Really? How interesting for you, J.”

Phoebe furrows her brows, wondering why the two of you are acting weird and then it clicks.

Chandler shakes his head and mimics her to keep quiet.

“I didn’t realize you were also seeing someone," you add.

“Well, I mean, I’m not seeing her, but we do have some fun.”

Monica rolls her eyes and makes her way around the kitchen to make dinner.

You turn and walk towards the couch, sitting down on the sofa to watch tv.

Naturally, like every other time you’ve hung out with everyone, you two sit together.

He sits beside you and you place your hand on the back of his neck to lightly scratch it and play with the short hair there.

Rachel tilts her head and realizes that’s your move.

You told her whenever you’re with a guy and you’re into him that’s how you would see if you two had any chemistry.

Phoebe pulls her back, letting Chandler tell her she can’t tell anyone.

“You can barely keep a secret,” she points at him. “I found out this morning when she left his apartment and it’s killing me, I feel faint.”

Ross enters and makes his way to the couch in search of you. “I found him.”

“Who?” You tilt your head.

“The perfect guy for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“You told me you liked the guy from my office, and I asked if he was looking to date anyone, he said yes and asked about you.”

You uncurl your feet from under your thighs. “Ross, that was months ago.”

“Was it?” He thinks back, “anyway I was just thinking, there is a convention tomorrow and he’s going to be there.”

“I,” you groan, “you know I can’t say no to it.”

“So, you’ll go?”

“I,” you glance back at Joey, who keeps his gaze on the tv. “Can I think about it?”

He cringes, “I already bought the tickets.”

“Ross!”

“It’s not even a date, it’s just- it’s just a meeting.”

“I’m not there for him.”

“Okay, fine. Don’t go for him, go for you.”

You roll your eyes and shove him away.

“Hey, hey. Don’t shove the messenger.”

-

You walk into the apartment, immediately removing your boots and then aim for the bathroom to remove your earrings and makeup.

You exit the bathroom and pull your hair tie out of your hair as the door to Joey’s bedroom opens.

“Hey.”

You glance over at him and continue what you’re doing.

“How was it?” He asks, genuinely wanting to hear about your night.

“It was good, I learned a lot.” You spin around and gesture to the zipper of your maxi dress, “help.”

He pulls down the zipper, slowly, thinking about- “I’m sorry.”

“For what, Joe?”

He wraps his arms around you, pulling you into him. “For gettin’ jealous.”

“Why did you?”

He gets quiet and rests his head against your shoulder.

“I- I don’t know why you got so upset Joe, you know I’m not seeing anyone else, even though we said if we ever wanted to all we had to do was talk-”

“That’s the thing.”

You furrow your brows and unlink his hands, holding them once you spin around to face him. “What’s the thing?”

“I don’t-” His brows knitted together as he thought of the words to say.

“Talk to me, honey,” you cup his cheek. “I don’t know how to help you if you don’t talk.”

“I don’t want you to be with anyone else.”

You owlishly blink, “that’s- that’s not fair.”

“How is that not fair?”

“You’re going out with other girls and the one time-”

“I haven’t been with another girl for the last seven months.”

You jerk your head back, thinking back to when the two of you started this situationship. “But that was before we- Joey, are you-”

He cups your cheeks, “I really like you and I want you to be my girlfriend. I’ll even fight Monica if I have to.”

You can’t help but smile and wrap your arms around his waist, “let’s hope it doesn’t come to that because I really like you too.”

“Oh my god!”

Your eyes widen as do Joey’s.

“My best friend and my Joey!”

“Mon- mon, don’t-”

He puts himself in front of you, curling his arm around your waist. “I started it. We are dating, we’re together.”

She pauses to stare over his shoulder to look at you and then back at him. Her tough exterior breaks and she embraces him in a hug. “My best friend and my Joey!”

“This sounds vaguely familiar,” Chandler adds.

Rachel smacks his shoulder to which he whines.

a brewing romance (original)

description: the one where pretending to not be in love with joey tribbiani was hard, especially when everyone around you suspects it.

pairing: bsf!joey tribbiani x fem!reader

contains: fluff!, best friends to (potential) lovers, mutual pining (mentioned?)

w.c: 740+

song rec: everybody talks by neon trees- "hey ,baby, won't you look my way? i can be your new addiction."

an: i've never posted any of my work besides a shitpost about fred weasley when i was like 13 so cut me some slackkk/ also this is based off of my friends dr bc im insane.

as you push open the door to central perk, a warm smile spreads across your face as you are greeted by the familiar sight of your friends lounging on the couch and surrounding chairs, sipping their coffees and chatting away. 

joey, in particular, catches your eye, his soft brown gaze locking onto yours as he flashes you a charming grin.

you make your way over to the group, exchanging hugs and hellos with monica, rachel, ross, chandler, and phoebe. 

as you reach joey, he jumps up, wrapping his arms around you in a tight squeeze. 

"uh, hi," you reply, laughing as you pull back from the embrace. "what's with the enthusiasm, joe?" 

joey shrugs, his eyes sparkling. "just happy to see my favorite person, that's all." he drops back down on the couch.

before you could even think about taking a seat, he reaches out and grabs your hand, pulling you onto his lap. you laugh and roll your eyes, but don't resist as he wraps his arms around your waist, and you settle yours around his neck.

it was a familiar, comfortable position, one you'd adopted countless times before. but today, it seemed to hold a different significance. but you were used to this kind of thing with joey. 

you'd been friends for years, and your affectionate nature had always led people to assume you two were a couple- which, of course, you weren't. 

the group's stares were noticeable, so when rachel's voice finally broke the silence it was evident it was laced with curiosity. "so, are you two finally…?"

you and joey exchange a look, both of you bursting into laughter. 

"what? no, no, no," you protest, shaking your head. "we're just friends, guys. don't get any ideas." 

joey nods strenuously, his face a picture of innocence. "yeah, we're just buddies. i mean, i love her, but not like that." he says, winking at you.

monica raises an eyebrow. "okay but...you two look very…cozy." 

you laugh. "i swear, we're just friends mon. you all know that. we've just known each other for a long time, that's all. we're comfortable around each other." 

"yeah, and I'm comfortable around my couch, but that doesn't mean I'm dating it." chandler inputs. as you both ignore his comment, you switch your focus on how hard it is to ignore the way you fit so perfectly in joey's lap or the way his arms seems to cradle you like you were his own personal treasure.

the others exchange skeptical glances but say nothing. as they continue to chat and get caught up, 

you can't help but notice the way joey's fingers drum against your hip- it was a touch that was both familiar and intimate, one that sent a flutter through your chest- you also took note of the way his breath tickled your ear as he breathed. 

it was all so… natural. so comfortable. and yet, despite your denials, the others couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more between you two. maybe it was the way you two seemed to anticipate each other's movements or the way you sometimes finished each other's sentences. 

as the afternoon wore on, you finally slid off joey's lap, giving him a playful pat on the chest. 

"i'm going to get a muffin," you say, as you stand up and stretch. 

joey grins, watching you leave. "i'll come with you," he says, hopping up from his spot to follow you to the counter. 

once you're both out of earshot, monica quickly turns to the others, her voice low. "you guys think they're telling the truth?" 

rachel shrugs. "i don't know. they've always been close, but… there's something different about them today." 

ross speaks up, "maybe it's just a matter of proximity. they're always touching and hugging each other. it's bound to create a certain… chemistry." 

chandler groans. "don't start talking about pheromones." 

phoebe who thoughtfully watches you and joey, order muffins at the counter says "i think they're telling the truth, but that doesn't mean there isn't something more there. maybe they just don't realize it yet."

as you and joey return to the table, muffins in hand, the others can't help but steal glances at you. you two were just so comfortable together, so at ease. and yet, despite your denials, there was a spark in the air, a sense of possibility that couldn't be ignored. only time would tell if you both would ever realize their feelings for the other.

Joey x reader - belong together

Can you do one where Joey gets stood up and Make Reader tells him maybe he's not going for the right team and offered to go on a date with him? If that's not your thing maybe have a Female Reader who's a nerd and say he's always going for models or not smart ladies? - Anon💜

Hearing a knock on your door, you looked up from the dinner you were cooking and wiped your hands on the dish cloth, making your way over to open it.

You furrowed your brows in confusion when you saw who was stood on the other side.

“Joey? What’s wrong?”

“Everything sucks…” he grumbled.

You stepped aside, letting him come inside and you closed the door, making your way back to the kitchen.

You slapped his hand away from the fridge as he went to grab a few snacks.

“I’m cooking dinner, it’s nearly ready.”

Joey stood looking over your shoulder, looking at the food in the pans.

“What’re we having?”

“We’re having chilli, can you get me some bowls?”

He nodded, getting the bowls and some cutlery, and you dished his up for him before making your own.

Joey walked to your couch and sat down and you sat next to him, handing him the TV remote so he could put whatever it was he wanted in the TV.

“So, do you want to tell me why everything sucks?” You asked.

Joey sighed, resting his head on your shoulder.

“I had a date with this really hot chick right, we’re talking mind blowingly hot. Set a time and everything, I wasn’t even late, sat there for an hour and she never even turned up.”

You nodded a little bit, carrying on eating your dinner.

“Where’d you meet her?”

“Audition.”

You hummed a little bit, shrugging your shoulder to let him know that you wanted to move.

When Joey sat up, you moved forward to set your bowl on the table and sat back again, letting Joey rest his head on your shoulder.

“I mean I didn’t do anything wrong did it?” He asked.

“No, no of course you didn’t.”

You took your friends hand, giving it a gentle squeeze to reassure him.

You knew ever since Chandler and Monica got together he was struggling with the idea of being alone.

But Joey wasn’t exactly the kind of guy to stick to a stable relationship, he slept around, never interested in getting to know the women after.

He was trying, but he either slipped back into old habits, or he would come up with some excuse as to why it wouldn’t work out between them.

“Then what am I doing wrong? Come on (N/N) you always know everything.”

You sighed a little bit.

“I’m not exactly qualified to give relationship advice J, I’m hardly the statue to compare relationships with. I don’t really do relationships if you haven’t noticed.”

Joey shuffled around a little bit, laying on his back, his head in your lap.

You ran your fingers through his hair, glancing down at him before turning your attention back to the TV.

“You always say smart things. Tell me smart things.”

This made you laugh a little bit.

“Alright, okay. Have you ever considered perhaps you’re dating the wrong demographic of people?”

Joey furrowed his brows in confusion.

“Consider all your past relationships, both actual relationships and casual flings you’ve had with people.”

“Okay?”

“What do they all have in common?”

Joey thought for a moment, going quiet as he thought about your question.

“They’re all smoking hot.”

“Perhaps that’s your mistake.”

“What?”

“Joey you only go for good looking women, you don’t think about how smart they may be, what they do for work, what kind of person they are, you see a hot woman and you chase after her. What happened to you today is no different than what you did to all those other women.”

He slowly nodded his head.

“So, what do I do? How do I have what Monica and Chandler have?”

“Stop chasing after just one night stands and hot women. Find a friend first, build your relationship up from that friendship. Take things slowly.”

“So? Like nerds?”

You slapped his chest and he laughed a little bit, taking your hand to hold it against his chest so you couldn’t slap him again.

“You can’t go around calling people nerds idiot. I’m saying maybe go for a woman with smarts, who can actually look at you and see you for more than just an actor, a chance for big money. Who sees that you’re actually a really sweet guy, who loves animals, who has such a huge and kind heart.”

Joey smiled softly.

“Do you really think that? You don’t think I’m some asshole?”

“I think you’re an asshole at the best of times J, but you wanna know something?”

Joey sat up, turning around so he could look at you.

Getting up, you placed your hand on the side of his face and pressed a tender kiss to his forehead.

“I know you deserve somebody who understand who you actually are, all those models you like to go out with won’t ever see that.”

You grabbed the two bowls, taking them through to the kitchen while Joey just sat there for a moment processing what you had said.

He jumped up, rushing around the couch and he stood in the doorway to the kitchen.

“(Y/N)?”

You turned around to look at him.

He wore a little grin on his face as he gestured from himself to you.

“What about me and you?”

You laughed softly at him.

“Joey have you really though this through?”

“For like a minute yeah, come on, you’re my best friend, and you already know me! You know what I like and don’t like, and I know you! Come on, just a date!”

You sighed a little bit, and he grinned a little bit more, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“Just dinner?”

“We just had dinner.”

“Tomorrow?”

You hummed a little bit.

“Think about it for a week, if that’s still what you want then alright.”

“Yes!”

Joey ran over to you, crushing you in a hug and you laughed, hugging him back just as tightly, letting him move you from side to side.

You had always had feelings for Joey, but you had never had the guts to act on them, so the thought of going to dinner with him made your whole life light up.

But you needed to make sure that he was serious about this, cause you couldn’t bare a broken heart and loosing your best friend

why did joey tribbiani have chemistry with everyone

[lovealwayssay]

I’m watching Friends as background noise and the Season 2 Chandler and Joey roommate break up gives me major Destiel vibes.

[cursedvida]

My boyfriend is rewatching Friends and I have to say several things:

1) I hated Ross before rewatching this series because he always seemed like a failed attempt at a nice guy and is unbearable.

2) Rachel would have been better off without him, tbh.

3) The series loses a lot in the last seasons and no one will be able to convince me otherwise.

4) I never paid much attention to Phoebe the first time I watched the series about 15 years ago, but now she's one of my favorite characters. She’s simply a queen; I love that she has so much self-confidence and doesn't care about anything. We adore her in this house.

5) Joey shouldn't be so likable to me, but I adore him so much. I think when you reach your thirties you understand that you'll always have a friend who will never grow up, and you need that in your life.

6) I LOVE Chandler and Monica as a couple. When I was a teenager, I saw them as the typical couple that was just meant to be, period. But rewatching the series as an adult, I realize they have such a healthy relationship??? I think I never understood in the past why they were so iconic, but now experience has given me the wisdom to understand that the key to their greatness is that, above all, they are best friends. They were friends, and after getting together and even getting married, they are still friends. They are friends above being a couple, and that makes their dynamics really healthy, with total honesty between them (I mean, Monica doesn't hide her attraction to other men, nor does Chandler, and they both don't care because they met each other while having other partners and flings, and they knew there was a life and a sexuality before them and it will continue, but obviously nothing will happen because they would never be unfaithful to each other and they have 100% trust and I LOVE it) and they understand each other perfectly. I mean, it’s a pleasure to watch their scenes because their conflicts are never absurd dramas with problematic connotations; they are not problematic at all, they are the anti-problematic. I think that’s the best thing about the series, honestly, and I would rewatch it again just for them. And that's it, this is my rant about Friends as if we were in 2005 lol.

Joey x reader - chance of a lifetime

Joey platonic friend reader where the reader is a Rachel's friend who ultimately gives him a film opportunity - @asherloki 💜

Sitting at the cafe, you were sipping your coffee as you were reading over the script in your hands.

“Oh my god… (Y/N) hi!”

Looking up, you blinked as you tired to remember the face in front of you, then it finally clicked.

“Rachel! Hi!”

Getting up, you lightly hugged her and offered her a seat in front of you as you ordered her your drink.

“It’s been a while, sorry I’ve been so busy!” You laughed.

“That’s alright!” She laughed back, “I heard you were in the city. What brings you by?”

“Work.”

You showed her the script and she read it over while you guys had a catch up.

You hadn’t seen in her in a while and wanted to know everything that was going in with her, how her life was going and what was new.

“Woah, this is amazing! When is it going to be made?” She asked.

You shrugged a little bit and stuffed them script in your bag.

“Not sure just yet, still a lot of stuff you know finding the actors and working out filming schedules and all.”

“Well if you’ve got time we’re having a party tonight I’d love for you to come.” She smiled.

“Sure thing, just let me know when and where.” You beamed.

She gave you her address and phone number, letting you know what time it started at and rushed away to work.

You stayed at the cafe for a little bit longer before you finally headed to your hotel room to rest before getting ready.

Rachel told you it wasn’t anything fancy, so you dressed in some casual clothes and grabbed a cab to their apartment complex and stood outside a bit confused on how to get in.

“Can I help you?” A man asked.

“Oh I’m trying to get to a friends apartment, Rachel green. Do you know her?” You asked.

You looked up at him finally and you gave a huge smile as you crossed your arms over your chest.

“Well if it isn’t little Ross Gellar.” You laughed.

“Oh my god (Y/N)!”

He laughed and hugged you, showing you up as he asked how things had been since high school.

“Woah, you’ve come a long way then Huh?” He chuckled.

“I suppose so, but so have you.” You smiled.

He led you into the apartment and introduced you to everyone.

You sat talking to those that were there at the time, and another two came waltzing in not long after you.

“That’s Joey and Chandler, guys this is (Y/N), a high school friend.” Rachel smiled.

“Nice to meet you guys.” You smiled.

“You too.” Chandler said.

“How you doin?” Joey smirked.

“Don’t even think about it Joey.” Rachel scolded.

“Sorry.”

You laughed as he frowned and sulked in the corner about being told not to even try and flirt with you.

The party soon began, and it was nice, relaxed and as you sat on the couch drinking Joey saw this as he chance to come talk to you.

“You’ll get told off again.”

“Not if you don’t tell Rachel.” He grinned.

You hummed, thinking this over.

“Sounds fair.” You laughed.

Joey grinned even more, sitting on the table opposite you.

“So what do you do? Rachel said she hadn’t seen you in ages because you’re always away for work.”

“Well, I’m a film writer and director, I’m always away filming or writing somewhere. I came to the city to finish a script and look for some actors.”

“You.. you know I’m an actor…” Joey said hesitantly.

“Oh really? What have you started in.”

He thought for a moment before replying.

“I played doctor drake remoray in the days of our lives.”

“Oh I loved that show! You were amazing in it!”

“Wow really? You think so?”

You nodded your head excitedly and told him what you liked about his work.

Finally after a while of talking you were getting tired and had to go home.

“Hey I’ve got to go, but it was nice meeting you all, maybe we can meet up again?” You asked.

“Of course.” Monica smiled.

“Yeah! It’s been fun!” Phoebe beamed.

You handed Rachel your hotel number and your personal number and turned to Joey.

“It was nice meeting you, and I wish you luck with your acting!”

With that you went home.

The next day, Rachel received something in the post, curious she opened it.

It was a letter and a copy of the script you showed her the day before.

She grinned as she read the letter and ran across the hallway, banging on the door.

“What?! What?!” Chandler yelled.

“Where’s Joey?!” She yelled.

“What’s going on?” Ross asked.

“Where’s Joey?!” She yelled again.

“He’s not here, he’ll be back soon.”

“When he gets back everyone come to ours.”

With that Rachel ran away again.

She was bouncing with excitement and an hour later everyone came into the apartment, confusion written all over their faces.

“What’s going on?” Monica asked.

“Yeah, you’re looking for me?” Joey said confused.

Rachel gestured for him to come over.

“Close your eyes.”

“Okay?”

She handed the script to him and told him to open his eyes and he looked at it in confusion.

“I don’t get it.”

“Joey, (Y/N) wants you to play the lead villain in her film.”

Everyone screamed with excitement, and Joey grinned from ear to ear.

“Seriously?” He asked.

“Yeah. She just sent it today, she wants you to rehearse with her until she sorts out some more actors, to give you a head start.”

“What if it doesn’t work out…” he mumbled.

“Joey, have you heard of her works?”

He shook his head and she walked around, grabbing some films from her room and dropped them on the couch.

“Wait, wait, wait, you mean she wrote these? These are huge films!” Phoebe yelled.

Joey stared in shock, and soon excitement started to build inside of him.

You were a huge director, a huge success, and he was getting the chance of a lifetime and he was going to work the hardest he had ever worked in his life

[doyelikehaggis]

A little snippet of "Wedding Woes" as requested by @rythmicjea <3

"What about porn?" Joey suggests, and she turns to look at him with raised eyebrows. "Watching porn always makes me feel better."

Rachel doesn't even have in it to make a comment about that. She shakes her head, turning glumly back to the TV, still paused halfway through "My Best Friend's Wedding". The irony is not lost on her.

"No, even porn would depress me right now," she says.

"Okay, I'm just gonna say it." Joey sits up properly, propping himself up against the headboard. "You're being ridiculous. Look, Rach, I get it. I mean, I've never had to watch the person I'm in love with get married to someone else but I can imagine it sucks."

Rachel stares blankly at him. "Gee, thanks, Joe. I feel so much better."

"There's no point in you just sitting here feeling sorry for yourself. Ross is getting married tomorrow. Nothing is going to change that. He loves Emily."

"Oh, it gets better!"

He rolls his eyes, exasperated. "My point is that you're wrong. You said that this was your last chance to have love, the perfect life you wanted, with a husand and a wedding and whatever. But it's not. You'll find someone else, and you'll get another shot at that life, or something completely different!"

She purses her lips, looking down at the nearly empty pizza box. There's only one slice left. She's only eaten one and a half.

"What if I don't?"

"What?" Joey asks incredulously. He shifts himself to face her, shaking his head as he tries to catch her eyes. "Rach, that's crazy. I mean, first of all, have you seen you?"

A small chuckle escapes against her will. Joey grins. He reaches out and softly rests his hand on top of one of hers, and she stares at it curiously. His thumb rubs gentle circles into the back of her hand.

"Seriously, Rach," he says, and she lifts her eyes to his. "You're upset right now but you won't be forever. Remember that. In weeks or months or years, you'll find the right guy. But right now... you gotta let Ross go, and you gotta just have fun. You don't wanna look back and regret moping around about one guy for the rest of your life, do you?"

She breathes in slowly. "You really think I'll find someone?"

"Yeah! Why wouldn't you? You're beautiful, and sexy, and honestly, I can't think of a single reason why someone wouldn't want to be with you. Ross is the idiot for letting you go in the first place, and..."

She stares at him as he trails off. Her eyebrows hitch up ever so slightly again, but her question is silent. His wide-eyed gaze answers when nothing comes out of his parted lips.

She leans in. He meets her halfway.

Send me the title/number of a wip and make me write it!

☁️FRIENDS: Monica x Rachel headcannons☁️

Before dating-

They definitely had "movie nights" but, conveniently forgot to invite Phoebe.

Those "movie nights" were just them kissing and talking trash about everyone else-

They were almost caught several times by Joey and Chandler.

(Chandler definitely knew what was up though-)

Anytime one of them has a date with some guy to hide their relationship the other makes sure to comfort and cuddle the other, as well as having a whole debrief on what they didn't like about the guy.

After dating-

So. Many. Romantic. Dinner. Dates. Filled with candles, fancy tablecloth, and the whole nine yards.

Rachel steals Monica's clothes so often, anytime she's confronted about it though she'll deny it.

Monica loves seeing Rachel's sketches and fashion ideas, she just likes hearing Rachel rant about what she loves.

They had a huge wedding, though most of it was planned by Monica. Monica made sure the bouquet was lilies and the centerpieces for the tables.

Whenever Rachel had Emma, Monica was so scared yet so happy because she finally got a kid of her own. (She also beat up Ross but we don't talk about that-)

there’s not a single platonic explanation for joey deciding to give phoebe “the perfect kiss” after she laments about never getting one before her 31st birthday and it’s going to haunt me for the rest of my life. that was the kiss of a man in love.
