Chris entered the glee cast and friends party with the only intention of confronting Darren, and asking him why he lied about having a girlfriend? and why did he say Chris had met her, it was a ball of confusion and Chris needed answers. As he strutted in he was impressed with the design and the style of the venue the producers had picked.
walking further in
he saw Darren at the bar sitting with Mark, Harry and Chord - He had a beer in his hand , Chris marched over immediately as he knew the two of them couldnt put this conversation off any longer.
Chris - Darren… we need to talk
Mark - Hell yea! Boyfriend problems!
The rest of the guys laughed.
Darren - c'mon mark , leave it alone ( darren smiled accepting the humour)
Chris - yea guys, very funny, so Darren, c'mon lets go
Mark - guys i wanna know all about it ( he said with his arms out wide, loving the possibility of a real life klaine drama, marks face lit up like a kid in a candy store)
Darren grabbed his beer and walked off with Chris.
Darren - so are we gonna find somewhere private? or are you ready for perez to blog about this? ( he joked , with his famous sarcastic expression)
Chris- oh shoot, i forgot he was here, c'mon lets go over there, there's a curtain,a rope and everything its nice and private
Darren- ok sir, people are gonna think we're making out or something (he laughed)
Chris - no no darren this is very serious no time for humour right now.
They entered the booth, & Chris pulled the curtain.
Darren -so what's up, what's so serious?
Chris- i mean Darren, honestly i don't even know where to start
Darren - oh wow, that serious huh?, am i drunk enough for this?
Chris - no listen please, whats up with you, why did you lie like that outside, in your interview
Darren- about what?
Chris- um, the girlfriend thing… i've never met your girlfriend, i mean do you even have one?
Darren- well, yes and no
Chris - yes and no?
Darren - i mean…
Chris - what?.. u mean what?
Darren- chris , this…. this is hard for me
Chris- is this the same thing from earlier?… ur a walking tank of secrets right now
Darren - no they make me.. im not ( Darren wanted to just blurt out what was on his mind, but had conflicting feelings about whether or not to open up to Chris about what's bothering him)
Chris - Darren… look.. (Chris put his hand on Darren's shoulder and explained) im here for you, you should know that,talk to me please.
Darren - its my management, my publicist, everyone.. they want me to be.
Chris - they want you to be what?
Darren - they want me to be…
Chris - be what Darren, be what?
Darren - STRAIGHT OKAY! they want me to be…. straight.
Chris lifted his hand off of Darren's shoulder, he was shocked by what Darren had finally confessed to, his jaw had dropped to his knees , whilst Darren had began holding his head and massaging his beautiful curls in distress of the auckward conversation he was having… Chris decided to finally respond.
Chris- so you mean… all this time.. you weren't… you weren't
Darren- being honest no! im a liar, a big … loser… liar.. person.. im just a.. ( darren shaking his head and looking for his next self insult)
Chris- no , no wait,just stop insulting yourself… i just need to know…. why?
Darren - Chris.. im not like you.. im not brave enough to jeopardize this.. this what i have..i
Chris- wait no, i don't get it jeopardize what?
Darren - my career, everything i've worked so hard for
Chris - um hello, openly gay guy here, im not doing so bad
Darren - its different
Chris - why?… why is it different?
Darren - because you, your amazing, people love you for who you are, your just and amazing guy..
Chris- but so are you, people love you darren, people admire you as a gay tv character, and i mean c'mon .. your Harry Freakin' potter ( Chris smiled and touched Darren's shoulder once more) whilst Darren smiled briefly
Darren - Chris, people love what they think, is a straight guy playing gay on a tv show, thats all about embracing who you are, im..im a foney.. i can't even tell hollywood that i'm..
Chris- listen listen just stop putting yourself down, if your not ready your not ready
Darren - its not that im not ready, its that… everything i wanna do, all the big parts i wanna play. do you know how hard it is out there for a gay guy to get a huge straight role in a move.
Chris - Darren its … its..
Darren - its true that's what it is, my management everyone have warned me, about the importance of saying im straight to every tom dick and harry that asks
Chris- so is that why you say it so much in interviews?
Darren smiles and lets out a tiny laugh and explains
Darren - yea… that's exactly why
Chris- Darren, well you can't keep this in forever
Darren - why not?.. its worked so far
Chris- Darren, lying repeatedly and also involving me.. helps nobody, one day you'll slip, i mean you did practically slip today, you didn't even tell me about this whole girlfriend thing, lucky i was listening in, or else i mean…
Darren - yea yea i get it, i get it, i should've asked
Darren slowly looked up at chris, directly in his eyes… he grabbed chris's hand.
Darren- look chris, im sorry for dragging you into all of this, i should've known out of everybody at glee, i…. i could talk to you
Chris- offcourse..
Chris looked at Darren directly in the eyes aswell,their eyes met, staring at eachother ..both oblivious to the passionate love they hold for one another…its like the crucial moment in every movie, before the two love interests kiss…
But then offcourse..
Suddently the curtain began to open,& Darren dropped chris's hand
"Well, well what's going on in here "?
a voice asked… the guys looked up
it was none other than -now skinny- hilton himself.
Darren - hey perez, whats up buddy
Perez- well i was searching and i couldnt find my man candy anywhere in this joint , and here you are klaining it up in a private booth
Chris - we were just… we were (Chris shaking his head trying to find a lie somewhere in there)
Darren- running some lines. we were just running some lines
Perez- running lines at a party?
Darren- offcourse, its all very serious here on glee you know (darren nods and looks at chris, physically signing for chris to agree with him)
Chris- yea, yea totally, all work all the time. I learn lines in my sleep aswell.
Perez- well thats not cool, god what could be more boring, cmon, come have a drink with me, im stealing him chris, im so sorry, love your hair by the way
Chris- um ok, and thanks.
perez grabbed Darren…. and proceeded to pull him away from Chris.. Darren looked at chris … shrugging with his mouth open , speechlessly being pulled away.
Chris just nodded with his lips pursed and watch Darren being pulled away by the gossip fairy himself.
Chris - well that was… that just was
he said to himself….
Chris - and now im sitting in here.. talking to myself. loser like me.
He got up and exited the private area, joining the party. immediatley looking for his friends..
Lea - oh chris, chris! there you are.. where have you been, i've been looking everywhere for you, are you okay?
Chris - ugh.. don't ask
Lea- omg, did you meet a guy
Chris - nope
Lea- well…then what the hell?, talk to me
Chris- i don't know if i can
"woooooooh"
they stopped the convo and looked over at the bar, Perez was there.. cheering darren on.. Darren was going crazy with the alcohol, downing beers, taking shots.. surrounded by all the other glee guys who were also cheering
Lea- wow, someones having fun
Chris- yea…yea. he sure is
chris said with an unimpressed face.. Lea picking up on this asked
Lea- wait, is this about Darren, come to think of it.. he was missing too. did you have your talk?
Chris - yes and no
Lea- yes and no?, well what is it?.. yes? or no?
Chris - well its just…i havent heard what i've really been waiting to hear
Lea- and what's that… that he's madly inlove with you and wants you to have his babies ( she starts laughing)
Chris thinks to himself " Exactly"…
As the night goes on most of the cast are enjoying themself… Except Chris.
Darren has span out of control with the drinking… noticeable by all of his cast and set mates… he is completely Hammered!… 120% drunk.. out of his head.
one of the producers from the show approach Chris at the table he and the girls are sitting at.
Producer - Hey, Chris… is Darren ok?
Chris- why would you ask me?
Lea- cause he's your mannnnn
Amber - mhmmmm
Chris- whatever you guys, only on camera, but um to answer your question, i have no idea what's going on with him tonight, perez has turned him into a beer fountain
Producer- ok, well please one of you guys… make sure he gets home ok.
The producer walks off…
Amber - Chris, you know thats your job right
Lea- yea Chris, take care of that
Chris- you guys, you're really taking this onscreen relationship a bit too far
Jenna - are you saying you dont wanna take blaine home and tuck him in
(They all Laugh)
Chris- ok so first off, thats NOT Blaine, thats Darren Criss acting a damn fool
Amber- we're playing with you Chris, i'm sure one of the other guys will go with him
Chris pursed his lips yet again and noded in agreement.
Lea - Chris..
Chris- yes Lea…
Lea- help him ( she says encouragingly, knowing that chris is madly inlove with darren, she insists he's the one to take care of him)
Chris - Ok mom!, (he says, looking slowly up at Darren) i'll… i'll take him home.
