The man smiled a little, grateful for her response but also not wanting to annoy the kitchen staff. He didn’t need to be in anyone’s bad books. Jim opened his wallet and slid over five dollars, smiling a little. “Thanks, I appreciate it” the officer worker spoke. His smile stayed on his lips even though his mind would not stop. Jim couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh “trust me, you’d get bored eventually. I don’t even know why I’m reading into it. The situation that happened today — it’s stupid, I just like to set myself up for embarrassment” Halpert spoke before sliding his blazer jacket on.
He walked to the door and stopped, turning to look at Monica. “I mean, if you’re done— I’ll happily take you out for a drink? I could do with another one. At this point, I’d drown myself in whiskey” Jim said dramatically. “Unless you have something incredibly important to get back to” he added with a dramatised tone, the smile on his lips had yet to disappear.
the question is immediately on her tongue as she moves to deposit the money into the register. what happened today? she so badly wants to be nosy. her curiosity incredibly piqued. he'd looked so pensive over there, stewing in his own thoughts. what could have happened that would have caused him to be so deep in thought? to be reading into it, as he'd put it? she shakes herself from her own thoughts and lets out a chuckle instead. 〝 you say that like i'm not bored out of my mind in this place like ninety-eight percent of the time. 〞she offers a final friendly smile when he moves toward the door to leave.
his offer comes as a surprise, but one she is fully ready to accept. there wasn't much more to be done before calling it a night, the rest of the crew could handle it without her. and ross? he could deal with her ditching him. another laugh escapes her. 〝 oh yeah, my brother wanted me to watch this documentary about fossils with him ─ can't wait to get home for that! 〞the sarcasm oozing from her words. 〝 i'd love a drink. and making sure you don't actually drown yourself in whiskey is much more important than my previous plans. let me get my coat. 〞she offers a smile before disappearing into the back of the diner and returning, coat in hand.
gabe's eyebrow's lifted, curiosity piqued. "okay, wait," he said, one corner of his mouth pulling up. " i was gonna be normal about this but now i need to know how someone successfully stole your identity at a coffee shop." he glanced down at his own cup, then back at hers, genuinely considering the logistics of coffee shop identity theft. "and, for the record, i think could totally pull off monica if i had to." he gave a small shrug, grin widening. "i've been told i have range." the smile he gave her was warm and easy, like he was trying to make sure she knew he was laughing with her and not at her. "i'm gabe, though. unfortunately. much less mysterious. way more likely to accidentally steal your drink than your social security number."
a soft laugh slips from her lips, her shoulders slumping slightly. 〝 well . . . okay, i don't actually know exactly where she stole my identity, but i do know she was parading around the city pretending to be me. so it really wouldn't surprise me if she hit the coffee shop too. and don't ask me how i know she was pretending to be me. 〞
she glances away, her brow furrowing at the absurdity of her allowing more of the experience to be shared with this poor, unassuming stranger just trying to get his coffee.
〝 hm, 〞her lips press together, giving him a once over in consideration. 〝 okay, i guess i can see it ─ if you had to. 〞
she returns the smile, thankful that he seems to be in on the joke and that she hasn't completely weirded him out. and if she had, at least he was being polite about it.
〝 unfortunately? 〞 her head titling, just slightly, questioningly, 〝 but gabe fits you so much better than monica. and i appreciate that, at least stealing my drink would only ruin my day and not my whole life. 〞
continued from here . ⤷ @tapedwrists ☆ gabe !
shoulders give a gentle shrug, taking the cup from him. 〝 don't worry about it, no harm. 〞she lifts the cup up slightly, confirming it did in fact say 'monica'. a friendly smiles appears. 〝unless you were trying to steal my identity, which might be tough considering you really don't look like a 'monica'. 〞her nose then crinkles up, a blush dusting her cheeks. 〝 and that probably sounds like a really weird thing to bring up but it has actually happened to me. 〞
continued from here . ⤷ @nurturingscul ☆ jim !
a hand waves brushing off his concern as she continues collecting empty and partially empty dishes from the counter, sliding them into the bus tub. usually she couldn't wait to get out of this place — the blonde wig is itchy, the fake boob padding too hot, and the glasses pinched her nose just enough to give her a headache by the end of each shift. tonight though — being here was better than the boring fossil documentary viewing with ross she had waiting for her at home. if only she'd been able to come up with an excuse to get out of that.
her head gives a light shake and a friendly smiles adorns her face before she gives a quick glance back at the kitchen behind her. 〝 noo, i couldn't do that, it looked like you were doing some deep thinking, i felt bad interrupting. but the kitchen staff gets mad if i don't tell people we're closing.〞her shoulders give a gentle shrug, before sliding the bus tub aside. 〝 it'll be three dollars even. 〞she pauses for a beat. 〝 honestly, sitting here watching you think all night would be better than what i have waiting for me at home. 〞
PROMPTS FOR BEST FRIENDS WHO DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
what do you mean? i've always been okay with you dating other people. for some reason, this time just feels different.
do you think you could ever see us as more than friends?
i compare anyone i ever date to you. is that weird?
did they actually think we were dating? that's a little strange.
do you get asked a lot if we're a couple?
you're my best friend. i would never want to risk our friendship.
our friendship matters more to me than anything. i don't ever want you to leave my life.
i'll admit. i've started looking at you differently... in a good way.
guess i never realized how beautiful you are.
would you consider this a date?
seeing you with them... it made me so mad. i can't explain the feeling.
i'm afraid i'll lose you. i can't risk it.
you're not just my best friend, you're my... nevermind. forget i said anything.
sooner or later you'll probably realize you've been in love with me this whole time.
i don't want to ruin our friendship. that's the main issue i have.
but what if you're the one for me?
do you believe in soulmates?
no one else compares with you.
of course i care about you. you're my best friend. you always will be.
wow. you look... absolutely breathtaking.
i know i'm not supposed to have feelings for you, but i do.
they said we'd make a cute couple, you know.
if no one asks you, and no one asks me... maybe we could go to the dance together. as friends.
i'm always going to be by your side. that's what best friends do.
i won't let anything happen to you. i promise.
you have no idea the lengths i would go through to keep you safe.
you don't treat anyone else like this. just me.
how long have you had feelings for me?
whatever happens, we can't let this get in the way of our friendship.
what's a kiss between friends?
best friends cuddle. this is normal. this doesn't have to be romantic.
i've always viewed you differently than other people.
you're so special to me, and you don't even realize it.
i've never cared about anyone like i care about you.
i just don't want them to get in the way of our friendship.
when were you going to tell me you were seeing someone? i thought i was the first person you told about that stuff.
don't you get it? they're not you.
i'm not in love with them. i have feelings for someone else, someone i can't have.
would it make things weird between us if i kissed you right now?
no, i'm not staring at your lips. what are you talking about?
my parents keep insisting that we'd make a great couple.
you've always been my first priority.
you said something earlier about the people you love.
could you ever see yourself loving me?
and what about me? do you love me?
maybe we could go on a date sometime. an actual date where i plan nice things and bring you flowers.
i've been in love with you since the day we met. there. i said it. happy now?
send me "I don't want to be alone tonight." for my muse's reaction to yours saying that to mine.
if you're looking for some dynamic ideas before sending a meme or jumping into something, here's a handy dandy little guide i whipped up that might help to spark something?? also, keep in mind monica is pretty adaptable / easy to drop into a variety of universes.
NEIGHBORS. maybe your muse lives in monica's building. they see each other occasionally when doing laundry or collecting the mail and have exchanged the typical pleasantries. maybe they've only seen each other in passing in the hallway or on the way into or heading out of the building. perhaps they live directly below her apartment and have had put up with the noise from apartment 20 for far too long.
CHILDHOOD / FORMER FRIENDS. perhaps your muse grew up with monica. attended the same elementary / high school / college or lived in the same neighborhood. or maybe they were on her field hockey team. were they the one who coined her nickname "big fat goalie"? or were they just another one of her bullies? did your muse make monica's early life a living hell?
COWORKERS. does your muse work with monica at the diner / restaurant? maybe they're a fellow chef working along side her creating nightly specials. or are they a waiter? bringing the customers monica's creations on a nightly basis and delivering compliments to the chef on their delicious meal.
EXES. monica has had her share of failed relationships, could your muse have been involved in one of them? did they end things on friendly terms where they still see each other around the city and do the whole friendly catch up thing? or did things between them end so badly that they do everything in their power to avoid eye contact if there's an unexpected run in at the grocery store or neighborhood bar?
MISC. maybe your muse is a regular at central perk. they see monica, either with or without her friends, at the coffeehouse all the time. maybe your muse is working up the nerve to approach monica? seeking a recommendation of something new to try— she always seems to be there, she must know what's good! or maybe they're looking for something more than a suggestion of what coffee or pastry to try. perhaps monica and her friends' constant presence is bothersome to them? and they finally decide to confront her about it one day?
when I say “be safe” I say that shit from the bottom of my heart

I love you. Any surprises that come our way, it's okay, because I will always love you. You are the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with.
my daily affirmation as an author
#when people ask me about my life
"well, i have to stay efficient." he knocks the side of his shoe against the bottle of milk, a small gesture of appreciation, but otherwise remains unmoved. his hands clasp over his abdomen, and he shrugs. "well, i have my little script, and i give them a snack to cushion the blow." he is, unfortunately, quite attuned to her feelings. it's a double edged sword because it keeps him aware of his surroundings, but emotions generally make him deeply, deeply uncomfortable. still. "you seem..." he waves a a hand in lieu of settling on an adjective. he clears his throat. "are you okay?"
〝 is that what you're calling it? 〞her head leans against the back of the couch. eyes falling shut. the first moment to herself she's gotten all evening. even if chandler is here too. she lets out a puff through her nose that's supposed to resemble a laugh. 〝 sounds like you've got it down to an art, professional yet considerate. 〞not sure how much those women would agree, but now is certainly not the time ─ or place ─ to get into that. she lifts her head, an eyebrow arching, incredulous. then relaxes when he smartly changes course. 〝 yeah, of course i'm okay, 〞her voice bubbly. too bubbly. overcompensatingly so. 〝why wouldn't i be? 〞a beat, a groan, her mind playing catch up. 〝unless you're here for a free dinner because i really can't tonight, chandler, okay? come back tomorrow. i promise i'll make whatever you want tomorrow. 〞
