RPF (Real People Fiction)
This is my first FanFic in a long time and I my over active imagination has way too much CrissColfer flying around and this story came to mind. I am irrevocably in love with Darren Criss ever since 'A Very Potter Musical' I think he is beautiful and a really inspirational guy too with all the causes he supports even before he hit our screens in Glee. This fic is born out of my love for him and how I wish Klaine had more screen time because I love their relationship it is honestly inspirational to everyone and let's face it, it's just plain cute too!
I also wanted to make a note on my writing style its quite messy at times but you can generally tell whose POV it is coming from I hope! If anyone has some constructive criticism on this I would love to hear it in the reviews! Also take into account I'm English so there may be Briticisms where Americans are more likely to say something else, apologies!
Some people say it's rude to ship real people but this is just a story using two familiar faces I have used some general and generic facts about each of the guys to create a picture which is a product of my blissful imagination. These are my ideas of Chris and Darren and in no way represent the real thing because let's face it all we know is their public image so all these details are purely from my imagination so any representation of real life is purely coincidental.
I do not own Darren Criss or Chris Colfer or Glee; this is just a story in my head. No matter how much I wish I did.
This story doesn't run along a real timeline in relation to the current series of Glee and begins around the real-time of filming of Series 2 Episode 12 though I do not plan on focusing on the filming of the show just the odd episode.
Running Down the Tracks.
Chapter One, Silly Love Songs
Chris Colfer's mind had been whirring at a million miles an hour for the whole day leading up to filming this one scene. It would be a huge scene for all of the 'Klaine' fans out there who wanted to see Blaine and Kurt get together; this was the scene Kurt would tell Blaine his whole feelings at the Lima Bean and Chris wanted to get it right for the fans, if not for himself. Darren would never know how meaningful the little monologue Kurt would say was to Chris himself.
All of Chris's friends onset like Ashley and Lea knew about his crush on Darren ever since 'A Very Potter Musical' and how much he had gushed when Darren had joined the cast of Glee. Chris had of course hidden his fan-girl tendencies when he had met Darren for the first time, but he had held a place in his heart for that man ever since.
"You and I? We hang out… we sing flirty duets together… you know my coffee order… Was I supposed to think that that was nothing?" Chris says with more emotion in his face than his words could ever portray because they aren't his words but he means every line. Looking into Darren's glowing amber eyes, the brown liquidating in the reflection of the set lights, Chris had never felt so honest speaking a line to a fellow cast member.
Yes when he read the lines on all of Kurt's high school problems with homophobia that touched a nerve, growing up as an out gay guy wasn't easy in small town California, but he usually managed to keep his emotions separated so as not to overwhelm himself. However, with Darren right now, every inch of emotion was pure honesty.
This was Chris speaking directly to Darren, no Kurt and Blaine this was the way he felt. The two spent all the time in the world together ever since Daren had joined the cast. Ryan had taken the two boys aside and told them to get to know each other and feel comfortable together because he had plans for their two characters and they both understood what he meant, knowing because Darren was straight, he needed to be comfortable and Chris respected that, it wasn't professional to crush on your co-workers.
No crushing on co-workers became increasingly difficult. Darren was Chris's dream. His energy meant he could keep up with Chris and amazing laugh, and then he was also absolutely gorgeous, the curly hair, the eyes; the golden honey brown orbs which portrayed his every emotion, that squinted closed whenever Darren let slip one of his astonishing laughs.
Chris's eyes flicked back to concentrating on Blaine's face, not Darren, Blaine. Blaine is gobsmacked and Darren certainly doesn't appear to notice Chris is doing anything more than acting the emotional portrayal of those lines.
"Wow. I really am clueless. Look, Kurt, I don't know what I'm doing. I pretend like I do, and I know how to act it out in song, but the truth is, I've never really been anyone's boyfriend."
But every word Darren speaks is like one of his Sai Swords piercing his chest. Chris knows there is no chance of his undying love being requited but the hope never inches away.
A/N I realize this is short and my note was long but I wanted to introduce the setting and stuff so I hope you like this first taste! More soon! I always love reviews and criticism so hit that button! xox
