A/N- This is just an idea that popped in my head. I don't really think I like it, but I had already typed it all up, so figured I'd post it anyway. Random Channy drabble. ~Carrie

Are you offering me your shoulder?

--

When I offered Sonny my shoulder, I didn't think she'd actually accept it. In the beginning it was an effort to split her apart from So Random, causing them major damage.

After that time, I tried not to offer it again, but she took it anyway. Along with it, she took my heart.

I slowly began to realize that I, Chad Dylan Cooper, had feelings for that exploding ball of sunshine known as Sonny Monroe.

But to her, I was just a companion; that one person that could always make her feel better when she was let down.

Especially when she was let down by a guy.

I couldn't help feeling inferior when she'd come to me for advice. I was always just her shoulder to cry on.

James

First we'll start with James- the first guy Sonny dated in Hollywood. Wow, poor Sonny didn't see what was coming.

First he asked her out, and Tawni and I crashed the date. I hate to admit it, but I was jealous.

Then James proceeded to ask Tawni out; dumping sweet Sonny. So who did she come to?

That's right- me. We went on our fake date, she fake kissed me, and we all lived happily ever after.

Wait- scratch that, because soon a new guy came in to the picture.

John

Next was John; he turned out to scum. Maybe even worse than James. Bad, huh?

He used Sonny's publicity in order to make himself more famous! Who would do such a thing?

Oh wait- I would. I did. But I was already famous, so that doesn't count.

Anyway, who did she come running to when he broke up with her? Yes, I am raising my hand because she came to me- again. I held her for a brief moment, and comforted her.

Great- I was now at the same status as a teddy bear or flowers.

Mark

Mark was a joke. He thought he was so cool just because he was smart.

Well apparently not smart enough, because he cheated on an awesome girl like Sonny.

This time she came crying to me, I consoled her until she stopped.

--

Austin

I cringe at his name, so I won't mention it again.

He was a creep. A creep that tried to take advantage of Sonny. And when I say advantage, well… I think it's pretty clear.

Somehow Sonny got away from him, but I had to resist the temptation of knocking the crap out of that guy.

This time when I held her, I didn't want to let go. I brushed a strand of hair from her face, then absentmindedly leaned in to kiss her.

But she pulled away. She was too vulnerable and I shouldn't have tried.

Mister Right

That would be me- Chad Dylan Cooper.

Definitely the most handsome of Sonny's suitors, not to mention the greatest.

Yep, it finally happened.

I had finally given up hope on Sonny; she'd never return my feelings. Then one day, there was a gentle knock at my door.

I opened it to find Sonny there; nervous.

"I can't believe I didn't see it all along," she smiled, leaning forward to kiss me softly on the lips.

"All of this time you've been there for me, through all of the guys, you were my shoulder to lean on.

"Well it's always available," I smirked.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather have this," she said, kissing me once again.
