After agreeing to make sure Darren gets home okay, Chris felt it only made sense to stop him in his tracks .. and not actually allow him to drink anymore. They had already been at the party for 3 hours and Chris was more than happy to leave and being Darren's now appointed 'Carer' , he knew that meant he had to take him with him.
So chris told his friends he was leaving.. and Lea wished him good luck and told him she'd check up on him in the morning. After his goodbyes he headed over to the bar which Darren had literally become the furniture of tonight.
Chris - Hey , Darren
Darren- CHRIS! oh man Chris! I Love you! , you're awesome , your like a bright rainbow of awesomeness and…. i love rainbows, they're totally awesome, did you know that? ( introducing drunk Darren)
Chris- know what (chris asked)
Darren- that rainbows are awesome.
Chris- is this a gay joke?
Darren- what? who's gay.. im not gay (replied a drunk defensive but yet still giddy Darren)
Chris- alright Mr - i think we've had enough of those tonight and i think for your own sake, i should get you home.
Mark who was also at the bar responded to chris.
Mark- yeah, yeah, you do that, dude needs a little TLC right now i think.
Chris - really, so why have you allowed him to just keep drinking?
Mark - because man, he's grown, you can't stop a grown dude from doing what he wants, so.. why bother.
Chris - well im about to stop him, i'll catch you guys later
Mark- later… look chris… take care of him
Chris- i wish everybody would stop saying that, but ok, im gonna try my best.
Chris put his arm around darren's shoulder and proceeded to do the infamous 'Im helping my drunk friend - walk' out of the building.
They get outside its empty, all fans and carpet journalists have left. Chris says to Darren.
Chris - once again, this reminds me of another one of our scenes.
Darren- our scenes are awesome (yelled a drunk darren)
Chris - yea, yea… not so loud. (chris says trying to quietin him down)
Darren - are we going to your place
Chris- well, i was gonna take you to yours, but mine is closer, but im not sure if that's a…
Darren - we're going to yours Colfer, c'mon (drunk Darren insisted)
Chris- well ok, why not
Chris understood that his place was nearer and it was more convenient so he had no problem with that…
Before leaving Chris had called his driver and asked him to meet them out front, so they headed into the waiting car…
Chris - my place please
Driver- and for you Darren?
Darren - um yea Kurts place please.
Driver- Kurts huh? ( he laughed)
Chris- yep, he means mine, he's totally drunk
Driver - yea i figured.
Darren sat in the car with his head titled back against the head rest and just kept tilting his head slightly to look at chris.. and everytime chris caught his glance Darren would smile and turn away.
Chris- dude, you have a serious problem do you know that.
Darren- The Darren problem, its awesome,its like a world of…
Chris - just don't… and if i hear one more thing about rainbows ( chris smiled as he found Darren's unsober behaviours to be cute and had also had his fair share of rainbow conversations for the whole car ride)
Driver- so here we are
They pulled up outside Chris's hollywood apartment building.
Chris- thank you so much, have a good night, hope you don't have to wait out for the girls too long
Driver- no problem kiddo, im booked to you guys for the night ,so its no problem
Chris- alright thanks, c'mon Darren
Darren- oh are we there?
Chris- yea yea, c'mon
Chris grabbed Darren's hand and helped him out the car.
shutting the door, he waved and smiled at the driver.
Chris - ok, so its late, so we must be quiet, can't wake the neighbors
Darren - ok.. ssshhhhhhhhh (Drunk Darren whispered)
Chris helped a very still uncontrollable Darren walk up toward the entrance of the apartment.
Chris- ok Darren, i need to get my key out, so just lean here, and try and keep steady ok.
Chris positioned Darren against a wall turned away from him and began to search his louis vuitton sidebag for his key. whilst digging Darren leant off the wall and began embracing Chris from behind.
Chris - Darren, what are you doing?
Darren- keeping warm, im cold
Chris clueless of what to do just paused for a sec and then continued searching for his key.
Chris- found it… now careful, if you could ease off a little , so i can open the door
Darren- Cool (Darren took his hands off of chris almost immediatley as if he was touching something that was security alarmed )
Chris finding it hard to turn around and face Darren opened the door and slowly turned…
Chris- ok, lets go
Darren held out his hand for chris to grab and lead him up.
Chris felt like he was on a date and it was the first time he was taking a guy home, but offcourse Darren's clear state of unsoberness did keep reminding him that , this was not the position he was in.
Chris took darren's hand and they walked in and got the lift to Chris's 3rd floor apartment.
Darren - yea man we're at the colfer estate… go team colfer!
Chris- darren shh.. your being loud ( chris laughed quietly)
Chris opened the door with a key on the same bunch as before, this time Darren stood peacefully behind him.
Chris- and we're in
Darren- this is awesome (Darren said staring at the magnolia ceiling)
Chris- yea, say that when your not competely drunk and stranded
Darren- no , no im not stranded, i wanna be here.
Chris smiled at him and helped him take a seat.
Chris- ok,so im gonna get you some water, im not an expert on fixing a drunk situation, but i'll try
Darren - what about the rainbow?
Chris - oh my god, i…. can't with the rainbows
chris went to his refrigerator and took out a bottle of water for Darren.
Chris - now…. will you be ok with this?, you can down beer so hopefully you don't find sipping water too tricky
Darren - dude i can totally handle that
Chris - ok, good i need to pee, i'll be right back.
Chris rushed to the bathroom.
on his way back he saw Darren, semi-soaked with a puddle of water beneath him.
Chris- oh my god ( he laughed)
Darren- man the water missed my mouth, i feel… all wet and stuff
Chris - ok , ok, we'll just have to … get you out these clothes.
Darren - wow, how quickly you try to undress me. (Darren flirts)
Chris- whatever, your drunk and wet..so… im just gonna ignore that and find some clothes for you.
Darren- kurt clothes?
Chris - no you silly, Chris clothes! (he smiled), your really living in a klaine world tonight arent you. if we was tweeting this fans would go nuts
Darren- well klaine rules
Chris - indeed it does.. anyways im gonna find you some clothes.
chris went to his closet and pulled out the best chillout clothes he could find, a white tshirt and jeans and returned to darren
Chris- Darren i dont wear sweats so this is the best i could do.
Darren- thanks colfer, do i need them now? ( asked a now slightly sleepy darren)
Chris- well , your clothes are wet.
Darren - oh right ,yea they are … arent they.. (he said as he nodded off and re-awakend)
Chris - your tired, i can see that.. but you can't sleep in wet clothes
Darren- then take them off of me
Chris- c'mon Darren, i mean as tempting as that sounds.. no.. im sure.. you can… you can take off your own clothes.
Darren shook his head making one of his classic sad puppy dog faced expressions.
Chris didn't know what to do, he didnt wanna undress darren for darren to then remember it wrongly the next day and accuse him of anything, but he knew he had to help his wet friend and get him out of the wet clothes.
Chris walked over to darren and started by taking off his suit jacket…while Darren just flopped around like a child being dressed or in this case undressed by his parent.
chris began to loosen Darrens tie.
Chris- this is a very nice tie by the way
Darren- thank you, its special
Chris laughed
Chris- really, you are worse than drunk Blaine you know that, this is just on a completely different level
Darren - you love me really
Chris - you know darren, theres so much i want to say to you, but you'd never remember in the morning so there's no point… or maybe i should say it.. knowing that you won't remember
Darren - i have no idea what your talking about (darren says looking up at chris as his shirt is being unbuttoned)
Chris- yea well good. ok i think you can handle the rest.. your pants and the rest of your shirt buttons can be your job. i've fiddled enough
Darren- alright, alright
Chris- ok, so im gonna go change, and i'll be right back okay .
chris went to his bedroom, consumed with sexual thoughts about Darren but knew how wrong it would be to take advantage of him in his state, let alone facing possible rejection. Chris changed into his silk pj's and had taken 15 minutes to simply do so. realising he'd taken so long he hurried back to check on Darren.
Walking in and sitting on the couch beside him chris asked..
Chris- how are you feeling
Darren who appeared to be talking slightly more sober..but not quiet there yet responded
Darren- im good im good.. im wearing your tshirt
Chris- i can see… and your in boxers?
Darren- yea, yea i'll put the jeans on tomorrow
Chris- okay, well as your a guest, you can take my bed.. and i'll take the couch
Darren- no, no thats fine… im cool out here
Chris- you sure
Darren- yea.. yea….you sleep in your bed.
Chris- ok, well im not leaving you yet, i dont think your ready to be alone
Darren- im fine, im fine …..Chris.. dont worry about it
Chris- ok, well if your okay then.. i guess this is goodnight
Chris looked into Darren's eyes…
Darren- um yea…
Darren looked back into his…
Chris sitting there felt the butterflies doing overtime in his stomach.. he never felt so nervous yet so good at any point of his life.
whilst Darren's head was a ball of mixed emotions , he knew he liked Chris but he also knew that right now he'd probablly tattoo a rainbow to his face if he could..his mind wasn't completely focused ,everything seemed a little cloudy to him but this didnt stop him from what he felt the urge to do.
Darren looked down and looked back up at Chris, biting his bottom lip, his face was dripping with lust… he was about to make a move…. he leant forward , took hold of Chris pulled him in
and kissed him.
