Know Thine Friends

Summary:

"If you can't beat them, join them."

In Johnny's case, if you can't win them over maybe their the ones who can help you win him over.

In which case, Johnny incidentally asks help from the ladies he occasionally hits on for advice on how not to get beaten up by men for the same reason.

Notes:

Inspired by this

Johnny getting some tips on how to get his dream man (aka Jack) lol

Chapter 1: Gone Gay???

Chapter Text

Rachel and her friends, Monica and Phoebe, were having a leisure stroll at Aaron City. They have just finished shopping, and were heading towards Central Perk for some coffee.

"Hold on, girls." Monica said with a huff, "obnoxious misogynist at twelve o' clock."

Rachel frowned, checking her watch. "It's one o' clock now."

"It's a military explanation for up ahead," Phoebe explained, pointing ahead. "And she means look, there's Johnny."

"Oooh," Rachel said and scrunches up her nose, "maybe he won't hit on me if I tell him I'm dating Ross."

Phoebe snickered, "Please Rach, he's seen Ross. And I still think even Johnny's cooler than Ross."

"Phoebe!" Rachel groused, huffing before turning towards Monica. "So, what now? Do we get coffee elsewhere?"

Monica snorted, "No way, our couch is completely unoccupied, we need space for all these paper bags, and I want to try the new Taser Chandler got me." she grinned, and gestured them onwards.

They pressed on, Monica getting the Taser ready. And when Johnny raised his head from the table, she was ready to use it the moment he takes a step close, but instead he turned his head back down and the three blinked owlishly. They finally noticed that he was scribbling furiously on a notebook, and when they got closer they see that there was a little girl sitting across from him.

"Wait, what was step five again?"

They heard the little girl clicked her tongue at him, "Pay attention and remember, Johnny." he chided. "you can't keep looking into the cheat sheet all throughout the date, idiot."

"Jeez Louis, last time I'm asking you for love advice, shrimp." Johnny grunted irritably, "if I ain't got Jack wooed by the end of the night, I want my thirty bucks back."

Monica gawked, and shared incredulous looks with Phoebe and Rachel. Their eyes read the same understanding, 'Johnny's gay?!'
