Author's Note: Next chapter(: Love you all readers!
The Bet
Darren opened his beer, sitting across from Cory as a basketball game played in the background.
"So what's up with you and Lea?"
Cory shrugged, taking a swig of his beer, "One minute she's all for us, the next she isn't sure how it will go over with you guys and Ryan."
Darren nodded knowingly, "The fans would be psyched."
"Yeah, what about you and Chris?"
Darren sputtered and choked as some of his beer threatened to spray all over Cory, "What? Why, I mean wh-why, why would you think such a thing?"
Cory looked half amused, half offended, "Dude, all of us know. We all have bets on when it'll finally happen. I mean we didn't question your sexuality or anything. Well not until a few months ago."
"Oh uh, well yeah. Chris is amazing and all but he has this thing with not wanting me."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Chris was always able to keep it under check, cause he thought I was straight, and then when I told him I had feelings for him, he kinda shut down, not wanting to accept the possibility. He started avoiding me off screen, and then one night he came over to my place and said he wanted nothing to do with 'this'. That it was better if we just stayed friends."
"That's just Chris trying to protect himself," Cory said nodding, "I'd bet anything that by the time Chord's big birthday bash rolls around, you two will be together."
Darren thought for a moment, "That's in two and a half weeks!"
"I suggest you get to work lover boy," Cory laughed pulling out his phone as the annoying ringtone began to play 'Don't Rain On My Parade' signaling the tiny actress was paging him.
Author's Note: Thanks so much for all the kind words, and all of the favorites and such! I'm astounded and thrilled.. Reviews are like crack to me, so chuck some my way.. And sadly, I don't own Darren or Chris or Glee.. :(
