I am so sorry my computers been giving me trouble and so I've been writing this in my planner during science and writing it on my iPod in bed. It's been stressful and I feel so bad! SPOILER: There is a tiny bit of slash-like material in this. I've never written it before, so you can tell me how I do.
Let's get to it-
"I-I love someone else."
Immediately both Mia's and Darren's eyes fell on Chris.
Chris's face turned bright red and his heart refused to stop racing.
Is Darren implying that he's in love with me? Could this really be happening? Well, he did just try to kiss me.
He wondered if he should say something to break the silence that had fallen on Darren's announcement, but he didn't have to worry because Mia soon spoke, or rather, yelled.
"Who?" she demanded snappily, her hands on her hips.
Darren didn't speak.
"I have a right to know. Who? Tell me!" her eyes were dark and watery. Her lips were pursed and quivering. Her eyebrows were scrunched.
Darren coughed quietly.
If Chris wasn't mistaken, it almost sounded like his name. But still Darren refused to meet his eyes.
"I swear to God, if you say 'Chris,' Darren..." she warned angrily.
Darren made the cough again, and this time it sounded clearer like 'Chris.' Darren's eyes darted instantly to Chris's. It was the first time since Mia's outbreak that the two had shared a look. Chris was shocked, to say the least. He had never seen Darren look so small, so scared and distressed, so helpless.
But Mia didn't miss the boy's exchanging of looks. Chris had almost forgotten she was there until she spoke up forcefully.
"What was that, Darren? Chris? It couldn't be Chris, right Darren, right?" Her voice was shaky. "I know my boyfriend couldn't possibly have feelings for another guy, right?"
Darren stood up straight, not taking his eyes off of Chris. Chris looked at him encouragingly, and Darren turned back to Mia, a look of defiance in his gorgeous eyes.
Mia looked disgusted. "Are you fucking kidding me? You're gay?"
Darren looked her straight in the eye.
"I don't do labels, Mia. Leave. I wanna be alone with Chris."
"Gladly, you disgusting fag!"
"Shut the fuck up, why don't you? I'm tired of you. Leave me and Chris alone, will you?"
"Have fun fucking your new boyfriend, Darren!"
"Oh, trust me, I will."
"You disgust me." Mia spit out at him.
"Seriously. I wanna fuck Chris and I don't wanna do it in front of you. However, if you really are that unwilling to leave, I suppose you could stay and enjoy the show." Darren raised his eyebrows at her in a cocky way.
Just the mention of anything relating to physical contact with Darren drove Chris insane. His head went fuzzy and he felt heat rise in his crotch. He moved backwards slightly, feeling as though he was intruding on all this drama between Mia and Darren, despite the fact he was the main cause of it. Plus, he really needed to hide his quickly hardening erection.
Mia glared at Chris.
"You- you ruined everything!" she growled at him as Darren attempted to push her out of the apartment.
"No, actually. You ruined everything. Darren was just about to kiss me." Chris spoke up, sarcastically.
Darren snickered. "Right, so getting back to that-" he stepped back toward Chris and reached a hand around Chris's lower back, pulling him close.
"You dumbass cheater!" Mia screamed.
Darren tried to speak, but Mia continued.
"I don't even know you anymore, Darren Criss. I can tell you this, though. You are not the same person I fell in love with." And with that, Mia slammed the door. Chris cheered internally. Mia was finally gone. Now he had Darren all to- well, all to himself. Despite the fact that this prospect greatly excited him, he naturally couldn't help but feel a little bad for Mia. I mean, she has just broke up with her boyfriend and already Chris was all over him.
"So, before we were rudely interrupted, we were-"
Darren dragged Chris back into the living area and slowly pulled Chris to the floor, his eyes dark and beautiful, his voice lowering.
He straddled himself on top of Chris, and Chris felt his head go dizzy.
"Darren, I don't think we should, we should do this."
What? Why on earth are you speaking up? Shut up! you've been waiting for this since you met the man!
Chris's body told him to stay like this with Darren forever, but his moral side (which was slowly decreasing in strength as Darren eased himself off of Chris) told him it was wrong. After all, the the guy had just broken up with his girlfriend.
"What? Why?" Darren made puppy dog eyes.
"Mia. She..."
"Fuck her!" Darren interrupted. I haven't really been true to her since I met you. You've been in my thoughts, whenever I kiss her. I think of you constantly. I haven't been mentally hers for months. So why should I wait, now? Now that I finally have you! That is, supposing you'll take me?"
Chris nodded. He swear his heart was beating so loud Darren must have heard it. "I'm yours. I just dont know if it would be morally right to-"
Suddenly, Darren rolled back onto Chris, leaning his head close to Chris's and kissing the younger boy passionately.
"Forget what I was saying. Civility is dead in America, anyway." Chris whispered quietly when the two broke apart.
Daren chuckled, and Chris couldn't help but notice how much deeper his voice sounded. Already Darren's pupils were blown out with lust and as he leaned in and kissed Chris hungrily, Chris was sure his looked the same way.
Chris gasped as he clawed Darren's back with one hand, the other hand flying up to the older man's dark curls. Chris gave an experimental tug and Darren moaned, deepening the kiss further and sliding his tongue into Chris's mouth.
Their tongues battled for a few seconds and Chris could feel a thin layer of sweat forming over his porcelain skin.
"Darren..." he whispered, as they broke apart. "Where have you been all my life?"
Darren smiled.
"In the cupboard under some stairs."
Chris burst into laughter. Darren stood up and pulled Chis with him and onto the couch. Chris lay on top of Darren, his head buried in his chest. He was ecstatic. His dream had come true.
"we should probably put in a movie," muttered darren into Chris's hair.
"Mrph." was Chris's reply. Darren scooted out from underneath him and walked over to the movie rack.
Chris immediately missed the warmth. He saw Darren push in a movie; he closed his eyes and smiled. Darren came back and snuggled up next to Chris, sliding back under him until they were in their original position.
Chris looked up at Darren as he saw his boyfriend (?) fiddle with the remote. Suddenly, music was playing and Chris realized they were watching "The Beauty and the Beast."
He giggled as he saw Darren's face light up and when Darren looked at him curiously, he craned his neck up and kissed the gorgeous man under him.
Darren hummed into the kiss and seemed generally very pleased when Chris smiled against his lips.
I can do that now. Because he's mine.
Chris squealed internally. The two sat in silence for a few moments, relishing in the joy of being in each other's presence. The music played and the two snuggled. Chris buried his head in Darren's neck and lightly peppered Darren's prickly chin with small kisses.
He must've fallen asleep sometime soon after. Suddenly, Mia was back. She was yelling and throwing stuff, but when Chris looked to Darren for protection, Darren was no longer there. Chris started calling out for Darren. Mia was yelling awful things, saying Darren was hers and Chris was an idiot for thinking Darren could ever love him.
Then, Chris felt himself being shaken. It occurred to him that he was still in Darren's apartment, and Darren was beside him, hugging him and shaking him awake.
"Chris, I'm right here. It's going to be okay. I've got you."
"I thought- I thought you'd left…" Chris knew it was stupid, but he couldn't help but start to cry as Darren held him close and whispered, "I'd never leave you. I love you. I'll always be here to protect you."
The dream had seemed so real. "Mia, she was yelling stuff….she told me that you were hers."
"Oh, Chris." Darren exhaled into Chris's hair, rubbing his back comfortably. "You've just had a stressful day. We both have. What did Mia say? Do you want to talk about it?"
"She told me, 'Did you honestly think he'd want you? Over someone like me?'" Chris shuddered at the memory.
He was surprised when Darren chuckled lightly. "That was a quote from the movie, Chris. Your subconscious must have picked up on it and mixed it with the bad memories from today. C'mon, let's go to bed."
"I-I can stay here?"
"Of course. You're my boyfriend, aren't you? You are always welcome here." Darren led Chris to his bedroom, throwing him a pair of large sweatpants and a faded Mickey Mouse t-shirt.
Chris looked at them feebly and laughed. Darren looked up.
"You teasing my favorite shirt, Chris?" he asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"No- I-love it. I love you."
Darren walked over and hugged Chris, pulling his body flush up against his best friend's, his boyfriend's. The two stood, in the middle of Darren's bedroom, close as can be, in the moonlight shining in from the window. And everything was perfect.
