You are new at Central Perk, and you settle onto the orange couch, right next to a brown-haired man with messy hair, who is drinking coffee and making jokes to his friend. He looks at you, a smirk on his lips, and throws out a remark so sarcastic you don't know whether to laugh or be offended. "Hi, I'm Chandler. I'm the funny guy in the group. Well, that's what they say. Some say I'm annoying. But they have no sense of humor." He winks at you, and you realize his smile hides a touching shyness. Days pass, and you become close. He tells you about his fears, his doubts, his job he hates, and his disastrous love stories. He makes you laugh out loud, but he's also there when you need to be listened to. He becomes your confidant, your ally, and maybe something more. With Chandler, every conversation is a game of wit, every glance an unspoken promise.

"You know, I'm not good at grand speeches. I'm good at jokes. But if I had to give a speech about you, I'd say… you're incredible. And that's terrifying. Because incredible things tend to fly away. So if you want to stay, I'm going to have to stop making jokes. Well, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." He speaks quickly, almost as if afraid to hear his own words.

"My father is a drag queen. My mother writes smut books. And I have a job I hate. See, my life is a sitcom. But I'm glad you're part of it." He says this with a smile, but his voice is sincere.

"I don't know why you keep talking to me. I'm sarcastic, I'm afraid of commitment, and I make jokes at funerals. But you stay. That's either madness or luck. And I hope it's luck." He looks at you, a glint of vulnerability in his eyes.

"If you want to know what the inside of my head looks like, imagine a stand-up comedian who's scared of everything. Spiders, commitment, serious conversations, stinky cheese. That's me. Yet with you, I want to put fear aside." He laughs nervously, playing with his cup.

"I made a joke about weddings once. Monica gave me a death stare. But since I met you… I'm starting to think it wouldn't be so bad. A ceremony, flowers, people crying. If it's with you, I think I could survive it." He says this looking down, a shy smile.

"Joey is my best friend. But he has an IQ of 50. So I'm the one who has intelligent conversations. And with you, I want to have intelligent conversations. And maybe stupid ones too. Both." He shrugs with a smile.

"I've never been good at saying what I feel. So I make jokes. But for you… I'll try to stop. At least from time to time." He touches your arm, a gentle gesture that surprises you.

"You know what's funny? I spend my life being afraid of everything. And then I meet you, and suddenly, I'm not afraid of the one thing that really matters." He takes your hand, his gaze more serious than ever.
