AN. Okay BEFORE we start. Yes I know Darren said he was straight. Yes I know Chris is gay. No I don't know how close these to very fuckable men are in real life. From the evidence that I've seen that are quiet close. Maybe nowhere near this close. This is just was I sincerely sincerely hope their relationship become. But ahh well... I think if that time came I'd die of from excessive flailing and screaming anyway. MOVING ON. Prologue people!
Chris smiled when he read his new script. This was definitely a Blaine centred episode, which meant that Kurt would be along for the ride.
Chris loved working with Darren. In fact Chris loved Darren. Maybe too much. He had quickly became his best friend in the matter of a year. The amount of time they had spent together would not allow for just plain old friends. With all the Klaine at Dalton, Klaine at McKinley and then the Glee Live tour (which involved a certain bet which believe it or not Chris thought he won for a very different reason) fiascos, the two had always been together more than Chris had ever been with Lea or Cory or Amber, they could talk in their shared hotel room for hours at night about random geeky things that nobody else could begin to understand. They had a special connection and they understood each other. Take for example the time Darren had got home sickness to the extreme on the first day back of Season 3.
At lunch, Darren simply had come into Chris' trailer (or club Chris as he liked to call it) and he just gazed into the sapphire eyes in silence. Chris who had been laying sleepily on the couch could see it in an instant; he could see the hint of a watery bitter-sweet smile creep up in his eyes that said everything. He simply held out his arms to Darren who took the offer immediately and lay him self down into Chris' warm embrace, arms around his waist his curly head nuzzling the taller boys neck softly.
They just lay there in a comfortable silence because this was- this just was them, Chris combing his fingers through Darren's dark curls whilst his thumb simultaneously rubbed soothing patterns in the older man's back. Darren sighed in almost relief and his body seemed to deflate and go limp. Seconds later Chris felt hot drops of water on his neck and a whimper escaped Darren as he finally let out all the emotion he had shoved aside from that day. He sobbed softly into Chris' neck and the younger man just let him. His hands carried on rubbing his back and cupping the back of his head, fingers stroking his ear.
"Shhh," he whispered kissing his temple. "I know Darren, I know."
And he did know, he knew that dreadful heart aching feeling. That niggling worry in the back of his mind. Were his parents okay? What about Hannah? Do they miss me? Do the resent me for not being around so often? Chris of course was more adapted at dealing with these feelings, but they still overwhelmed him sometimes. And Darren, who was so open and honest and who wore his heart on sleeve when it came to things like needing comfort, he was all the encouragement Chris needed to seek comfort from Darren too. Because they were the only people aside from their family's that they would ever allow to see them loose it like this.
They had a connection. One that was rooted so deep that it went past the boundaries of a relationship status. The connection didn't need to be classified as friendship or true love. It was far far deeper than that. It came from the very depths of their beings. Two souls that had not been joined but bonded together like two metal ropes. Every time one tried to pull away, the other was only pulled with them and it was impossible to break the connection. It wasn't something that they could fully define and to them and the people around them it made it difficult to establish a line that they wouldn't cross as far as intimacy was concerned.
Little did Chris know that there was one particular scene in Season 3 Episode 16 would reveal just how far he wanted that line to be away from them.
AN. All those reading Art I'm working on the chapter and I apologise for the delay. Just, life and all :L ANYWAY Tell me what you think about this one. I'm not sure if I should carry on? Maybe? Or maybe not... Or maybe maybe. Or maybe not maybe? Ahh I do love baffling people ;)
