Joey Tribbiani x Male Reader
_
You opened the door, finding Joey in there having breakfast. Usually, you walked into their apartment like it was your own home, but this time it was different. This time you felt butterflies in your stomach. You ignored them. It was now or never, you needed to talk to Joey and end this torture once and for all.
“Hey, Y/N” He greeted you with a mouthfull of cereal. “What’s up?”
“Can we talk?” You piped up, not wanting to stretch it out any longer.
“Uh... sure...” To your surprise, he immediately stopped eating and put the bowl down. “Is something wrong?”
Feeling how the butterflies multiplied in your stomach, you nervously walked around the table to be face to face with him. Then the way he stared at you with his kind dark eyes filled with concern forced you to avert your gaze.
“Is it serious?” Joey mumbled, frowning and crossing his arms over his chest.
“I don’t know...” You didn’t know anything lately, it seemed. After a while struggling with those emotions, you didn’t even know if the subject was good or bad news anymore.
“Well, tell me... Maybe I can help”
“The thing is... you’re part of it too”
“What?”
You took a deep breath, noticing how his concern turned to confusion. Then you quickly gathered the courage to say it at last. Even if you ran over your words as you blurted it out.
“We’ve been really close lately, and...” You made a great effort to hold his gaze. “And I think I’m starting to... like you”
The way your sentence ended in a mildly questioning tone made you grimace. Trying to fix it, you continued talking before he could reply.
“Y/N, I...”
“And I have a feeling you like me too”
“I’m very flattered, Y/N, but...” Joey vehemently shook his head. “I don’t... you... me... I don’t feel the same, so just go”
Despite being an actor, he was a terrible liar. The way he stuttered and refused to look into your eyes was enough to give him away, even if he weren’t blushing, which he was.
“Joey...” You rolled your eyes a ilttle. “Don’t lie”
“I’m not lying!” He shrugged, making him seem incredibly vulnerable.
“The guys are always teasing us about it”
“Well, they’re wrong!”
“Joey, let’s talk about our feelings like men”
“No, I’m not listening” He put his fingers to his ears like a child. “I can’t hear ya!”
“Joey!!” You held his arms and tugged down at them, forcing him to listen to you. “Stop that”
You stared at each other in silence for a moment. Dissapointed, you glared at him and tiredly tilted your head. He tried to defiantly hold your gaze, but sighed in defeat in the end.
“Okay!” He absently rubbed his arm, needing to get that nervous energy out somehow. “Maybe I like you too!”
“We can take it slow if you’re shy” You joked, trying to lessen the tension. “Just say the word and-”
“Shut up” He chuckled, wrapping his arms around you and engulfing you in a tight hug.
