Ch. 1
It was done.
Over.
My two weeks on Broadway were in the past, and God did I love it. It went beyond everything I could ever imagine. I never even dared to imagine myself on Broadway. Yes, I had dreams, but even this was above everything I ever wanted. The most unexpected part was that they all loved it. Maybe it was a bit naive but I honestly thought people loved me so much was because of Blaine. After all it was Blaine that made their Kurt finally happy. But people coming to see me instead of Blaine or Klaine or whatever, was as overwhelming as it could be. Of course there was the Starkids. I could always count on them and I loved them deeply for that fact, but I'm still pretty sure that without Glee nobody would have known me at all. It also meant the world to me that a few of my Glee family came to watch me. They were all so loyal and enthusiastic about me. They meant to world me.
After these two weeks, fourteen long, hard days, I found something out, though.
Someone else meant the world to me.
And I didn't even notice it until I was away for two weeks, without seeing or speaking with him. Who said Blaine was oblivious? Meet Darren Criss. Yes. I, Darren Criss, was on Broadway, following my dreams and instead of focusing on that only, I found out that the person I saw almost every single day at home and considered as just a close friend, was the person I wanted to be with. The person that I wanted to share the rest of my life with.
Cliché? Yes.
Dramatic? Oh yeah.
But true. So fucking true, and I hated it. I hated the fact that I only started to noticed this when I was at a place where I could do nothing about these feelings. How pathetic was it to remember all these little things about someone. missing them so much, that made you want to crawl in a ball on bed and just dream about them? But I just couldn't help it. These flashbacks of Chris were coming at me at the most inconvenient times. His fingers, strong, manly, always fumbling. How was it possible that his hands always showed so much nervousness? Didn't they know how talented they were? My god, those hands could do everything. Write, make music, draw, act, direct… caress. His laugh, that special one which showed his teeth and made his eyes crinkle. That same laugh that also made his nose crunch up in the most adorable way ever. His legs. Goddamn. So long and lean and muscled and fuck. Stop think about his legs, Darren.
That was exactly the problem. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was so used to having him around almost every single day, that I didn't even notice the way my feelings had changed for my best friend. Why did it have to happen now? Why wasn't it when we were on the couch, snuggled against each other, already in such a comfort zone that it'd probably felt like the most logical next step? It killed me that Chris hadn't been able to come. At least, that's what I thought. The last thing I heard was "break a leg, bud". Chris Colfer was a busy man, I knew that, but I'd still missed him. It would have meant the world to me if he'd been there.
Shaking my head I took out my phone. No matter what happened, I knew now. And I needed to tell him, no time as the present, right? I opened a new text message and put Chris as the receiver.
D - Guess who's on the plane back?
I received a text back within three minutes.
C - Can I call in a helpline?
I laughed out loud and ignored the pointed looks from people around me.
D - Of course. It starts with a D and ends with arrenCriss
C - Omg. The Darren Criss? From HP? H2$? Glee? *flailing* Can you ask him for an autograph? I'm his biggest fan evah!
D - I'll do my best! Got time to pick me up at the airport? I can't wait to catch up with you :)
C - Me neither! I've got so much to tell you! You do too, I'm sure! What time do I need to be there?
D - Ehh in two hours? Can you make that? I really can't wait to talk to you. I missed you man ;)
C - I'll be there. See you then bud. Missed you too. Need to tell you something important!
My heart skipped a beat. He missed me. He had something to tell me. Could it possibly mean he wanted to tell me the same? I couldn't dare to hope, but I did anyway. With a big grin on my face I leaned back, dozing away with the thought of the reunion with Chris.
