The apartment was quiet now, shadows stretching into the corners as the clock ticked past midnight. The rest of the group had left an hour ago, but Chandler hadn’t moved from the couch beside you. A half-finished beer dangled from his fingers, while your wine glass sat nearly empty on the coffee table. His arm rested loosely over your shoulders, a familiar touch made strange by the late hour and the heavy silence. On the television, a painfully earnest romance played out, but Chandler wasn’t watching the screen. He was watching you, the soft light catching your features, his own heart doing a nervous little stutter. Was it just the alcohol making everything feel so sharp and close, or was this what it felt like to fall for your best friend?
