A/n:

last time on crisscolfer story 'confusion' :

'Chris, its time.' Darren said, causing Chris to look at him confused.

'Time for what?' Chris asked.

Darren smiled softly and kissed him deeply. 'I think you know, Chris Colfer.'…..


Chris' eyes widened, certain that Darren didn't mean what he thinks it is.

'Seriously Darren I don't' Chris said. Darren sat up in their bed, pulling Chris with him.

'It's time to tell the world how we feel' Darren said, taking hold of Chris' soft hands.

Chris' mind was then attacked by a million different thoughts, weaving themselves into a tapestry of fear, love and relief. 'Oh' Chris simply said in shock.

'Chris, I know you're scared. I am too but filming these scenes today and our own version of it made me realise that we can't let the ignorance and prejudices of society keep up from expressing our love.' Darren exclaimed, gripping Chris' hands tighter.

'Fox let our close mind society restrict how much we saw of Klaine's first Time, we should show them that it's worth fighting for change. Let's show the world that love in all forms deserves the right to show itself and not hide.' Darren carried on, his hazel eyes shining with emotion and determination.

'I love you Christopher Paul Colfer, and I want the world to know. I don't want to hide.' Darren finished waiting for Chris' reaction.

Chris was stunned. Not knowing what words could express how he felt right now he instead threw his arms around Darren and kissed him with his whole being.

'I feel the same about you Darren Everett Criss. I want to tell the world how amazing my boyfriend is.' Chris said as they pulled away, breathless with the intensity of the kiss.

Darren smiled euphorically and pulled Chris into a tight hug. Chris laid his head on Darren's shoulder and breathed in his sweet, musky scent.

After a few minutes of taking it all in, Chris asked: 'So when and how should we announce it?'

'I don't think we should plan it. When we feel the time is right we can announce it knowing that we are both ready to do so.'

They then began deciding what to have for dinner, trying to not dwell of the nerves creeping through them. Darren looked through the Chinese take away menu, hoping that soon they would finally be able to eat out like other couples did.

Over the next coming weeks the possibility of confessing never left their minds. They had plenty of opportunities: Darren's Broadway début; various interviews and award ceremonies and the option of twitter of course. However they always decided not to, deciding to trust their gut feeling that it didn't feel right, that there was something missing.

Then on the 3rd of March something changed. This was the day that Chris took part in the reading of the Prop 8 play and Darren was there front and centre to support him and the important cause.

As Darren watched in awe at his boyfriend's performance, he fully understood how Blaine was 'moved' by Kurt's 'Blackbird' performance. Brimming with emotion he left the performance to do various interviews and photos once the play was over.

After getting some solo photos taken by the paparazzi and having the first few interviews done, Darren moved on to the next interview. It was for MTV news and the reporter seemed to be the stereotypical journalist, flashing him some fake smiles as they got ready for the interview.

Sliding a half fake smile onto his face he braced him self for what he presumed was going to be an aggravating interview.

'So Darren, how did you find the play?' the reporter asked.

'I was surprised to see that the actors where still 'by the book' ', Darren joked, his eyes sparking with amusement, the interviewer laughing.

'But yeah it was really emotional and is obviously dealing with a topic that both my character on glee and I feel very strongly about.' Darren added his facial expression more serious.

'Speaking of Glee, what did you think of your co-star Chris Colfer's performance?'

The blond asked, leaning slightly closer.

'Oh man, Chris was as amazing as ever, his parts were so moving. It made me proud to call him my cost-star and best friend.' Darren said, his eyes sparkling again. But he suddenly seemed to have a realisation as his unique eyebrows shot up and he said 'actually, that's not completely true.'

The interviewer looked like it was her birthday at the possibility of a great scoop. Darren turned around and saw Chris standing at the back, waiting for his next interview. 'Chris, come over here!' Darren called, both Chris and the reporter confused and shocked.

Chris gave Darren a questioning look as he stood next to him. Darren gave him a reassuring smile before taking a deep breath. 'What I said wasn't quite true as the play didn't make me proud of my talented friend; it made me very proud of my amazing Boyfriend'

Chris seemed to be frozen in shock as Darren gently kissed him on the cheek. The reporter seemed to be in a similar state, in disbelief that she was the one to get this amazing story.

'How long has this been going on? Why was it such a secret?' the reporter who would later reveal to be Amanda, who would be resented by reporters up and down the country.

Darren intertwined his hand with Chris' before answering: 'We have been together ever since the end of the glee tour. We felt that we should wait until we were ready to face the public, plus it gave the fandom so much fun on tumblr trying to figure it out!' Darren laughed, hoping that Chris was ok with the timing of their monumental confession.

Amanda did a fake laugh and said: 'Well the fans I'm sure will be thrilled! Though confused!'

Darren smiled, but not as widely, knowing that they were not in the clear yet. He squeezed Chris' hand for reassurance and responded 'yes I know there are many CrissColfer fans on Tumblr, as for the confusion, I have always stated that I believe that love is about the person and not the gender so for the majority of my fans it won't come as a shock' Chris smiled warmly at Darren and Darren smiled back, a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Amanda said her thanks and turned back to the camera 'Well! You heard it hear first on MTV news! Will it last? What other secrets is Darren Criss hiding? We will be right back with all your latest headlines!'

Darren pulled Chris away as he saw the anger begin to boil over in his boyfriend's deep blue eyes. Determined to not let the reporter ruin their big announcement, Darren went in front of the cameras, pulling Chris with him.

'Congrats!' various paparazzi were shouting as they took millions of pictures of the happy couple, which would later be seen by American population and lots of others come the next day.

Fans would soon see the picture of the pair that they had so desperately craved. Darren's arm around Chris, their shoulders touching and their smiles blinding. Something so simple of a picture of two best friends, co- stars and boyfriends together but which was forbidden by Glee PR in an effort to hide their budding romance.

One quick photographer managed to capture a more spontaneous picture, one of Darren and Chris smiling at each other. Staring into each other's souls. Promising to one another that they would get through this.
