Getting a Life
Chapter 1: Gay?
Summary: After the girls tell him he needs to get a life one to many times Chris decides to take their advice. As he gets busier and busier the girls try to find out what exactly he is doing.
Warnings: This does take place in season six. I will try to make it follow the original stories, but there will be some changes. This story starts during thee episode Witchstock. Later on there might be some Slash, so if you don't like these types of stories…sorry I do.
"How many times have I told you men are utensils, you use em, wash em, and then throw them in a drawer until you need them again?" The sisters rolled there eyes at this. It was just their Grams entering one of her male bashing rants. What caught their attention was a laughter entering the room. Everyone in the room turned to stare at the young whitelighter who was leaning against the door.
"That's funny, I always felt the same way about women." Giving the older lady a pointed look. At this comment Grams mouth opened and shut in silent rage. While Piper looked very amused at the way her Grams had reacted. Phoebe on the other hand did not know how to react to this; she did not like the idea of women being used that way.
Chris suddenly turned to Phoebe and with mischievous look said "Don't worry Phoebe I don't have as many utensils in my drawer as you do." At this Piper and even Grams laughed. Phoebe on the other hand just sent Chris a look that could kill. Phoebe opened her mouth to make a snide remark when Leo entered the room and said "Quit. Do you hear that." Every one stopped talking and automatically heard a weird noise. Piper asked "Where is that coming from?"
Chris slowly walked to the wall and put his head to the wall. He turned to the others and said "I think it's in the wall." Just when he finished the wall cracked.
The sisters were back and everything was fine now. The ooze demon was vanquished and he came out pretty much ahead. He had gotten one over on Grams the notoriously suspicious ghost from his time would have already figured out who he was. This Grams for some reason was easier to fool. He learned that the trick was to keep her off balance with little comments like the utensil thing.
Another thing that went his way was seeing Paige embarrass Leo in the kitchen. That was worth all the times Leo had been on his case since he had sent him to Valhalla.
All he had to do was survive the rest of the day. Keep Grams busy until the girls sent her up there and once that happened he was free to go hunt some demons. That was an unforeseen bonus to the girls figuring out he was only half whitelighter, they had no problem with him hunting demons on his own. Well, he was pretty sure they wouldn't if they knew he was hunting demons on his free time.
He was just about to orb to P3 when a voice stopped him. "Hey Newbie can I have a word with you?" Chris turned around knowing that this was not good. When Grams pulled you aside to talk to you it usually meant that she knew something.
Chris sighed and said "Sure, what's up?"
"Well, I wanted to say that even though it is obvious that you don't have the experience to warrant you being assigned to the Charmed Ones, you did well today. You kept together and had some really good ideas."
Chris was shocked he had never heard of Grams just coming up and giving someone a complement. What was she up to? "Thanks, I think." Chris said with a confused look.
"On another note, I have been watching you from up there. You need to stop working so hard. Besides the fact that you haven't given the girls a break for a long time, you shouldn't be hunting demons by yourself. Some of the demons I've seen you go after by yourself you shouldn't have been able to vanquish without the Charmed Ones so you are obviously a very strong witch. Now I won't tell the sister your little secret, if you do me a favor and try to get a life."
Chris's mouth opened and shut. He was shocked, this was far from the first time someone had told him that since he had come back from the future. The sisters had been telling him to get a life since he had gotten here. With so many people telling him to get a life he had to wonder if they were right. "Fine I'll try to relax and get a life."
"That's all I'm asking. Oh and Chris I will be watching you no more than to vanquishes by yourself per week, okay?"
"Only two?"
Grams didn't answer him just gave him a dirty look and turned around.
With a sigh he orbed to P3.
The club was already getting busy and Chris was almost ready. He had spent the rest of the day shopping with the little money he had brought from the future without bringing the governments suspicions. He had walked from store to store looking for some club clothes that he would actually wear. It didn't help that most of these stores were not there in the future.
He looked at himself in the small mirror in his little room in the back of the club. He was wearing some tight blue jeans with a tight emerald silk shirt. He had to admit that this shirt brought out his eyes. Well, enough staring time to get out there and 'Get A Life'.
The club was mildly busy. He spotted the sisters sitting at the bar and walked over to them. Paige gave him a cat call, while Piper asked why he was dressed.
"Well, when your Grams told me to get a life, I thought I should take her advice considering that she's dead and has a larger social life than I do." Phoebe and Paige laughed at that while Piper couldn't believe that Grams would be that rude.
"So how did you like your first meeting with Grams." Phoebe asked.
"Oh please, that old gal is easy to handle all you have to do is keep her off balance."
Piper smiled and said "Is that why you said women were like utensils?" Phoebe perked up at this question waiting for Chris's answer, while Paige had a confused look on her face.
"Partially, Hey Ben I'll have a coke." Saying the last part to the bar tender who had just walked up.
"What do you mean by partially?" Piper asked
Chris gave her a smile and said "Well, women in my life tend to not last that long, and I don't really have a need for them anyways."
"Then what about Bianca did you have any need for her." Paige teased him.
Chris gave her a dirty look and said "She was the only one and if you didn't notice she didn't last either."
"Ahhh, Chris you can't give up on love." Phoebe said with obvious sympathy in her voice. Chris gave her an exasperated look and said "I have not given up on love just women." Chris tried to keep from smiling while the sisters got a confused look on their faces.
While the sisters were wondering what Chris meant by this comment, Chris started scouting out the club. His eyes stopped on a guy who was staring at him. He was blond with blue eyes, a slim build and clothes that made him look hot as hell.
Piper snapped her fingers in front of his face to draw back his face. "What do you mean by that?" Chris just gave her a look and said "figure it out." Just then the man walked up and said "Hi my names Derrick." Piper gave him an annoyed look and said "Hello, we're talking here." Chris ignored her and said "Chris." Derrick extended an arm towards Chris and said "want to dance?" Chris smiled at him and said "I'd love to."
"Our whitelighters gay, why didn't we know our whitelighter was gay?" Paige asked while watching as Chris put his arms around Derrick and they started to dance.
"Well, technically he's bi I guess; after all he did have Bianca." Piper said while staring at Chris.
They watched as Chris started to grind against Derrick. "Wow that's HOT."
"Okay guys stop drooling over our whitelighter." Piper said hitting Phoebe on the arm.
Chris and Derrick after dancing a few songs decided to sit a few songs. They ordered a few drinks. "You know you're really good looking Chris." Chris blushed and looks down. "Thanks "he mumbled. Derrick smiled at the embarrassment of the young man and said "No for real, I want to take some pictures of you." Chris smiled and said "What."
Derrick smiled at Chris's confusion and said "Well, I take photographs for large companies like Hanes; Fruit of the Loom, and also Calvin Cline (don't know if I spelled that right). I have a photo shoot tomorrow for Hanes I can show them a picture of you right now and show them it and most likely get you in the shoot if you want me to."
Chris took a moment to think about it and was reminded of all the times someone had told him to get a life. "Sure I'd love to. Follow me; you can take pictures of me in the back alley real quick."
They went to the alley and started to take some pictures of Chris. Derrick smiled and said "I was right you're great. Here meet me at this address tomorrow at seven am." He leaned in and kissed Chris on the lips.
Later that night Chris was laying down on the couch in the office of P3 and thought maybe getting a life won't be that bad after all.
