AN: Thankyou for the reviews! i get so excited when i see a review alert in my inbox! And to all you sitting there on alert and lurking around, *hi* Thankyou for alerting and reading my stuff! It compelled me to actually write this faster than i woud have! =D
ALSO: INTRODUCING THE WARBLERS! i have no idea how to play these guys! (lets also pretend there arent as many of them). I hope you dont hate my characterisation of them too much, i went with the easy route and made them pretty much the way their characters are mostly portrayed in FF.
Question for you!: Favourite GleeCast? Me: Riker Lynch, Why is he so damn sexy?
Darren rolled over and groaned. It was still dark outside. He could hear Chris pottering about in the kitchen. He blindly started molesting the bedside table searching for his phone. He picked it up and winced at the bright light then smiled at his wallpaper, It was a goofy picture of him and Chris messing about in Kurt's wardrobe at work, They were both dopily looking at the camera while wearing random scarves in strange places. He looked at the time and decided now may be a good time to pull himself from the bed.
Not like i'm gonna get anymore sleep anyway.
Darren had always been an awkward sleeper. He didn't really understand why, He just always slept much better, and longer, with someone in the bed with him. He was a cuddle whore. Last night Chris had showed him to the guest room and told him to make himself at home in there for as long as he needed. He didn't really want to admit to himself that he was a little saddened by the fact that he wouldn't get to cuddle Chris at night. His thought train was interrupted by Chris knocking on the door.
"Dare, you clothed?"
"C'mmin, Yeah". Chris walked in carrying two cups of coffee. He climbed onto the bed at the side of Darren and handed him a mug. Darren sipped his drink.
"Chris?"
"Mmm?" Chris replied with a mouth full of coffee.
"Have i ever told you just how much i love you? And your magical coffee making abilities?"
"Have i ever told you how adorable your bedhead is?" Chris immediatley regretted his words.
What the hell Chris? Don't call him adorable you idiot. Your just going to make everything uncomfortable. Nice.
"Me, Adorable? Ha! I have got nothing on your bedhead! Or the uber-adorkable noises you make when your asleep"
"OhMyGod. What did you hear?" Chris blushed.
"I've heard a lot, I've listened to a sex dream of yours before actually"
And i will NEVER admit that i know you were thinking of me, Or that it was actually turning me on. Also because Riker and Curt were there and it would have been awkward. And i had to think of grandmas and stuff just to stop myself becoming hard in front of them.
"What? OhMyGod WHEN?" Chris was pratically dying with embarrassment now.
"When we were on tour. Riker and I started making bets at one point as to how long you would keep at it"
"OhMyGod that is so embarrassing!"
"Awarh don't be embarrassed Chris! It was cute!"
Wait. What? Did i just call him cute?
Did he just say me having a very vocal sex dream was cute?
"Sooo, i was thinking, We both have today off work, Is there anything you feel like doing? We could go out, Stay in, See if anyone else fancies meeting. I haven't seen any of the warblers in a super long time! We could see what they're doing?" Chris asked, putting his head on the older man's shoulder and smiling as Darren reached over and put his arm around the Chris's shoulders snuggling into him.
He loved cuddling, But only with his close friends. He cuddled his glee family a lot. But not like he did with Darren. It would be adorably romantic if Darren were actually on his team. But Darren was such a cuddle whore he didn't seem to care. Most of the time it was Darren initiating their snuggles. Chris wished he could have all of Darren. He wasn't entirley sure when this started or how he came to have such a major crush on his best friend, But it was there, And it was times like now Chris wished he could just lean over and kiss the older man.
"I'll text the warblers, See if they wanna meet somewhere" Darren took his arm from around Chris and reached for his phone.
-Hey Warblers! Chris and i have the day off, Anyone fancy a Dalton Reunion? -DC
-Hey Dude! Am on set in Tulsa! :( Another day bro! -Titus
-Hey man count me in when & where? -Riker
-Hi DC! Sure thing! What you up for doing? -Curt
-DC! s'up bro! DaltonReunionFTW -Jon
-Not back in LA for a while, will let you know when i'm about! -Telly
-DC! its only Ry & me in all day, if you havent planned anything we can have a bbq over here say 1pm? -Riker
-Guys! BBQ at Riker's! 1pm. See you there! -DC
"Soooooo. Barbeque at Riker's sound good Chris?" Darren spoke up as he put his phone back on the nightstand and snuggled back into the younger man.
"Sounds perfect"
Darren was sat on the couch absentmindedly strumming on his guitar, Chris had yet to finish his shower and Darren had nothing to do but wait for Chris before it was time to head out to the barbeque.
It starts with not questioning the anwsers,
and giving up before we've begun,
it knocks on the doors increases the pressure,
and in a flash our time is up before it's done,
and you don't know how it can feel,
to feel at all.
so i say no to status quo,
who wants to be like the rest,
and deny the best that i'm meant for.
i will show the status quo,
who wants to be normal i'll never conform,
i won't be contempt to accept the status quo.
I kick down the walls around me,
they dont know how strong i am,
i'm not defined by boundaries,
they don't ever understand,
i'm so much more, than status quo,
who cares about me in another country,
when im stuck on the bottom floor,
and i know its time to go,
so maybe i've gotten everything that i want,
and maybe i might have made it so,
when i said, no, no, no, to status quo.
Chris stood in the doorway to the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist watching Darren loose himself in one of Starkid's latest songs. There was literally no better song to describe Darren than this one. He had never met anyone like him in his life. Darren refused to let himself fall into any category, He was literally the gayest straight guy Chris had ever met but he wasn't even 'straight' was he. Darren is just undefinable. He once told Chris he had been in a relationship with a guy in his first year of college. Chris had laughed it off and said everyone experiments in college but he knows Darren was being serious when he said he refuses to be bound to loving someone depending on their gender.
Cause I AM a starship ranger! Chis loudly sang from the doorway, Darren looked like he'd just crapped in his pants then laughed it off and motioned for Chris to continue.
Gonna do everything i can,
to always a be starship ranger man.
cause it's everything, it's everything,
I am.
"How long have you been stood there?" Darren asked while still stumming on the infamous black guitar.
"About the second line in" Chris smiled. Darren subtly switched into a different tune.
"This always sounds better on piano" Chris recognised the tune as Darren began to sing.
Before you met me, i was alright,
but things, were kinda heavy,
you brought me to life, now,
every feburary, you'll be my valentine (valentine)
Chris joined in to complete the song with him. Chris absolutley loved Darren's version. Blaine and the Warblers rendition was wonderful but Darren's own rendition was often acoustic, much much slower and lower and it seemed so much more meaningful.
Oooh Darren how i would happily let you put your hands on my skintight jeans anyday. Shit, No Chris, bad thoughts lead to awkward situations.
"So are you just gonna stand all wet and naked and sing with me all day or are you going to get ready to go to Riker's?" Darren winked at him.
"Yeah good idea, be back in ten" Chris smiled awkwardly and hurried to his room to pick out something to wear.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Chris had chosen simple converse, skinny jeans and a transofrmers tee and was just pulling on said tee when Darren knocked on his door.
"Chris you decent?" Darren asked through the door.
"Yeah sure, come in Dare" Darren came in and sat on the bed.
"So i was thinking, we need to talk about cash and stuff while i'm here, Like how much do you want me to contribute to bills and stuff and what are we doing about groceries?"
"Urmm, We can go to the all night wall-mart after work on Mondays and if you pay for the shopping we can call it quits? I own the place so it's not like there's rent to pay"
"Are you sure, I know i'm a bum and everything but i dont want to feel like im taking advantage or anything"
"Darren stop calling yourself a bum! And i'm sure! It's fine, it's gonna be fun to have a roomate"
"Am i your first roomate?" Darren asked.
"Well this is my first full-time home without my parents" Darren grinned at Chris' response.
"Yey! I took your roomate virginity!"
Chris choked on air.
"Right, Am ready to go" Chris decided to change the subject as he sat on the bed next to Darren who was grinning like a cat that got the cream.
Darren pushed Chris over onto his back on the bed and straddled his hips.
"Darren!" Chris squealed "What are you doing? Get off" Darren laughed and grabbed Chris' wrists and pinned them above his head with one hand.
"Do you love me Chrissey?"
"Darren! lemmego!"
"Say you love me?"
"Let me go!"
"Finnnee" Darren began a merciless tickling attack on Chris' sides and underarms. Chris squealed and struggled against him but this spurred him on more.
"help... let g... arragh... Darren... gonna... be ...late... LET GO!"
"Say you love me?"
"I love you Darren! Now let me go!" Darren laughed and released Chris' hands.
"Shall we go?" Darren stood up and held out his hand for Chris. Chris took it and allowed himself to be pulled up. Darren led them towards the main hallway, still holding hands.

AN/ Sorry! I HATE songfics! It just seemed fitting, but you can just skip over the lyrics and read whats inbetween (well you probably already did if your reading this) you know the sonnnnggg. If not your a big fail and you need to go hear it!
ALSO i am so sorry for the major delay in updates but i'm gonna be honest, this is pretty much how its going to go. I just have ZERO time to write. Im multi tasking as i write this, im on a coach, learning a new song and trying to juggle this with college work. I will never give up on a story without saying so, so dont worry, there will just be long gaps between updates. Thank you so much for sticking with me though. *Love you guys!*
