Darren is opening the door of his flat when he feels his phone vibrating in his jean pocket. He drops the shopping bags to take the phone. When he looks at his phone he can see who's calling and he makes a half smile when he sees that is his publicist calling.
"Hey Harry! What's up?"
"We need to talk Darren"
"And what are we exactly doing?"
"How are things between you and Mia?"
Darren pales and closes the door with a bang. He has a bad feeling of how will end that conversation.
"I suppose she is good…?"
"You suppose it?"
"Yes! We hadn't talked for a while"
"Why Darren? Isn't she your girlfriend?"
Darren starts to gibber. "Ummm yeah, sure"
"Darren don't lie me, I talked with her. She finally confessed me that you two broke a year ago"
"WHAT!?" Darren yells and throws the bags in the kitchen. "I knew that she wouldn't keep the secret! She is a bitch!"
"Calm down Darren! Why didn't you tell me? And why do you two still going to events together?"
Darren sighs and sits down in the sofa. "Harry… I didn't tell you cause you won't like who I'm dating. I know that Mia was the best for my image in front of my fans, but it was all a lie. I never loved her, and now I found my true love. And I know that you won't like it"
"So… you are not alone?"
"No Harry. I'm dating Chris Colfer"
"Oh my God… We need to see. Right now. And call Chris. In your house in twenty minutes"
Chris opens the door with the keys that Darren gave him a few months ago. Darren listens the door and goes running to receive his boyfriend. When he arrives at the door he sees Chris with a big smile. He hasn't told Chris anything, he only said him that he want to see him. Chris looks at him and says with bright eyes.
"Hey hottie! Did you miss me?"
"A lot" He gives a little kiss to Chris. "But I hadn't called you for this… Well, I've called you for this too but…"
"Hey Darren" Chris caresses Darren's cheek. "Relax. Whatever it is we'll fix it together, okay?"
Darren whispers "Okay… But I'm so sorry… It was my fault, well not entirely, it was Mia…"
Chris takes Darren's hand and says. "Together" And then he pulls him into the living room.
When they arrive, Chris finds a man in his thirties. He is tall and with brown and long hair in a ponytail. He is sitting in Darren's sofa as if he were at his own home. Chris looks at Darren without knowing what to do. Is him the problem? Maybe Darren and that guy…? No, it can't be possible. Darren won't do that.
Chris is so lost in thought that he doesn't realize that the guy has woken up and is going to them. The guy stretches his hand and presents himself. Now that he's closer to him, Chris can feel like he knows that guy. But don't know where he had seen him.
"Hi my name is Harry"
"I'm Chris"
"I know. The famous Chris!"
"Umm… Thanks? Excuse me, but we know each other?"
"Well, maybe you have seen me in Glee set sometime, but we haven't ever talked. I'm Darren's publicist! Nice to meet you Chris"
"Oh right… Nice to meet you too Harry! I'm… I'm Darren friend"
Harry looks with a funny smile to Chris's hand that is holding Darren's. Chris tries to get rid of his hand, but Darren doesn't let him. He looks at Chris eyes and says with softly voice.
"That's why I called you Chris… Mia has told him"
"But… But she said that she would keep the secret!"
"I guess we can't trust her"
Chris looks at Darren with puzzled eyes. Now is Darren that tries to calm down Chris with his eyes. Chris makes a big sigh of resignation.
Chris and Darren are sitting in the sofa still holding hands while Harry is in front of them in an armchair. Darren and Chris looks so nervous, they hadn't talked about their relationship to anybody, except Mia. And they had only told her because she deserved and explanation for the rupture. They wanted to keep in secret at the beginning to make sure it was the right thing, but then they keep it in secret for more time cause they found that it was fun their secret meetings, their stolen kisses in hidden places in the Glee set and the looks in the red carpet. And now they were ready to spread the world their love, but they have a feeling that it won't be as easy as they though.
Harry starts to talk cause it looks like the boys won't do it.
"So… Since when are you together?"
Chris starts to talk.
"Well… That's a long long story"
Chris and Darren exchange looks and smile remembering how they started…
Darren was in front of Chris home. They will meet to practice their lines in the new episode. "Original songs". Darren is so nervous. They are friends of course, but lately Darren has felt a weird sensation every time that Chris was close to him.
He can't stop thinking in Chris, and every time he sees that he enters into the set, Darren makes a big smile without realizing. Mia is starting to notice that Darren isn't the same, but Darren doesn't care. He only has eyes for Chris.
But he really doesn't want to ruin their friendship, so he won't tell anything to Chris until he sees that maybe Chris has the same feelings that him.
Darren finally knocks the door and Chris opens the door. When he sees Chris he feels like he can melts right there.
"Hi Darren! You arrive early!"
"Um… I'm sorry .I… I can come later if you want"
"No! Of course not! Come here!"
Darren enters and Chris says embarrassed.
"I'm sorry! Everything is a mess!
"No… Don't worry! It's okay"
"Let's go to the room, we can practice there! We will be more comfortable in my bed!"
Darren opens the eyes without knowing what to say.
"My bed is of water!"
"Cool! Let's go"
They are both sitting in Chris bed laughing and reading their lines, when it's the time to practice the kiss scene. When Darren reads what's coming next blushes, and he seems to see Chris blushing too.
"So… Blaine will finally confess his love" Says Darren with a smile. "That's cute"
"Yes! Finally! Kurt is crazy about him and Blaine doesn't see it!"
"Well, don't make Kurt wait more!" Chris makes a big laugh for the comment of Darren.
Darren starts to read his lines with soft voice, like he feels what he is saying. Chris is looking to him. Damn, Darren is so hot and is in his bed right now. But he knows that is impossible. That Darren has girlfriend and that he would never love him. He sees that Darren is finishing Blaine's love confession and that the kiss is so close. Will they kiss there? Or they will wait until the shooting?
Darren finishes talking and looks to Chris.
"And now Blaine kisses Kurt…"
"And… you think that we should practice that, or we should keep the surprise"
Darren is so nervous now. He can barely talk. "Well… I don't… Maybe… Or maybe not… What do you think?"
"People say that I'm a good kisser, maybe you would like it"
"You want to kiss me?"
"I would be a liar if I denied"
Darren interprets that like a sign and comes closer to Chris. Chris comes closer to him too and takes Darren face between his hands. He can feel Darren's face so warm and he likes it.
Darren finally puts his lips on Chris's. He feels the happiest person in the world! He is kissing Chris Colfer!
Chris responses to the kiss a little bit wilder and Darren makes a small gasp. Chris smiles and enters his tongue in Darren's mouth. Darren is a little surprised at the beginning but then he responses willingly.
Chris takes Darren by his shoulders and makes him lie in the bed. Chris lies above him and continues kissing him. Darren put his hand under Chris shirt and starts to caress his back. Chris makes a moan when Darren starts to caress the skin above Chris butt. Chris stops kissing him and rises a little. He looks at Darren eyes and says.
"Darren, what are we doing? You have girlfriend?"
"I know… But I don't like her, I like you"
"Darren you don't like me, you like Kurt"
"No! I really like you Chris!"
"Are you sure?"
Darren reclines in his elbows to have his face a little bit closer to Chris's again.
"I've never been surer of anything. But the question is… Do you… ?"
"Yes! Cent per cent yes Darren!"
He gives a little kiss to Darren again. Darren smiles and says.
"So now we are some kind of boyfriends?"
"Some kind?"
"No… no, I mean, we are boyfriends right?"
"Do you want that?"
For response Darren kisses him again and pushes his hip against Chris's. Chris feels a big lump of Darren against his leg and smiles. Darren starts to kiss his neck and Chris says.
"I guess we are"
They look at Harry and Darren says.
"We started a few weeks ago shooting 'Original songs'"
"You are telling me that you have been dating for a year and a half?"
"Yeah…"
"Darren this is crazy"
"Why? I have a boyfriend, and what?"
"This is not okay for your image in front of the fans"
"What? I'm sure my fans would be happy to see me with Chris"
"Darren, listen to me…"
Darren starts to talk louder and louder.
"No! I'm not going to listen to you! You're just a fucking homophobic! You won't listen to us or our version! You are only going to tell us to hide! And this isn't fair! This isn't fair at all!"
He stands up and goes running to his room. He needs to be alone.
