Darren slipped his phone out of his back jeans pocket and quickly dialed the first number on his speed dial. After three rings, he heard his favorite voice on the other end.
"Hello?" The voice asked. Darren grinned.
"Chris, hey. How are you?"
"I'm good, Dare. What's up? Do you need anything?" Chris asked, a bit worried and frantic as to why Darren was calling him out of the blue.
"Oh, Uhm, I was just wondering if we could meet up somewhere. There's something I need to tell you and I'm not entirely sure I can wait to tell you at work. Plus that's not the place to do this." Chris chuckled on the other end of the phone as Darren's babbling went on and on.
"Okay, calm down, Dare. I'll be over your place in five minutes. I'm ironically down the street." Chris silently thanked himself for taking the shortcut to work.
"Okay, just hurry, please."
Darren hung up and started to pace around his living room. He was going to do it. He had to do it now. It was now or never. A knock at the door disturbed Darren from his thoughts and he hesitantly went to open the door.
"Chris, thanks for coming." For some reason, Darren was breathless and had trouble finding words to say to Chris. He was extremely nervous. The two walked into Darren's living room and took a seat on the couch. Chris looked at Darren suspiciously. He had no clue what was going on and he wanted to know.
"Darren, what's going on. What did you want to tell me that couldn't wait until we got to work?" A look of worry played across Chris's face. Sighing, Darren moved his body towards Chris and looked him in the eye.
"Chris, I've been having these..feelings, feelings I've never experienced before." Darren paused, unable to find the next few words in his head that he had wanted to say.
"What feelings?" Chris was confused. He had no clue what Darren was talking about.
"Feelings, for you." Chris's jaw dropped, literally. he couldn't believe what he had just head. Then he looked at Darren and realized that he was indeed serious by the expression on his face.
"Wait, this isn't some sick joke, is it? I'm not on some TV show right now, am I?" Chris looked around the room, expecting a TV hose to pop out at any second. Darren shook his head, laughing at Chris being suddenly frantic. "Chris, I'm as serious as I've ever been with anything in my life." Darren kept his eyes on Chris, refusing to lose sight of him.
"I..I just.." Chris couldn't finish his sentence. Darren shook his head, he couldn't help but mentally beat himself up.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of said anything." Getting up from the couch, he started to make his way towards his bedroom. A hand grasped Darren's bicep and stopped him in his tracks. "No Darren. Please sit back down." Chris looked up at him with plead in his eyes. Taking in a deep breath, Darren sat back down on the couch and looked down at his hands.
"Darren," Chris began, lifting Darren's chin up with his hands so that their eyes were meeting each the others. "don't you dare regret saying how you feel. I'm glad you told me about your feelings because," He took a deep breath and prepared himself to reveal to Darren how he truly felt about him.
"Because, I really like you and I've had feelings for you since day one." Chris's eyes looked straight into Darren's. The expression on Darren's face change from regretful to relieved in a matter of seconds.
"You, you do?" Darren was slightly confused. He would of thought Chris would start backing away from him. Instead, he felt the same way. God, was he glad to hear that.
"Yeah. I have liked you ever since I met you on your first day on set. I just couldn't help but fall hopelessly in love you." A blush creeped upon Chris's cheeks.
"Chris, I feel the same way. I've loved you since I first saw you on TV." Darren blushed as well and the two smiled in sync.
"That is the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me." There was a silent moment between the two. It wasn't awkward, it was actually comforting for them. They just started into each others eyes, smiles taking over their faces.
"So, where does this leave us?" Darren asked, breaking the comforting silence. He didn't know where Chris wanted to stand based on their relationship.
"Well, I was sort of hoping we could maybe start dating?" Chris was hesitant at asking this, but he knew that Darren loved him and wouldn't say no. Darren grinned.
"I'd love that." He started to lean in towards Chris eyes locked on Chris's lips, when his phone started to go off, interrupting the two's moment. Darren pick up his phone and read a text message he had just gotten from Cory. It said that if Chris and him didn't get to work soon, they'd be in great trouble. Sighs came from both of the men. "I guess we better get there before Ryan fires us." Darren said, standing up from the couch, offering his hand to Chris. Chris placed his hand in Darren's and smiled. Pulling Chris into him, Darren gently placed his lips on Chris's, pouring all of his love and passion into one simple and sweet kiss. Chris kissed back with as much passion as Darren. Sparks and butterflies were felt between the two and they deepened the kiss. Chris's phone when off and he groaned, pulling away reluctantly and sighed.
"We should go." Grabbing Darren's hand in his, he pulled him towards his car and drove the two of them to work.
