Here's chapter two! Thank you guys so much for reading this! I've got quite a bit of it written, so I should be able to keep up regular updates.

In case anyone was wondering, the title to this was inspired by the song "Hum Hallelujah" by Fall Out Boy.


They had just finished filming the prom episode. It was one of the funner episodes they'd filmed, even the heavy stuff had been fun to film. Everyone was partying on the lot in celebration. Most of the cast had stayed dressed up in their party attire, but Chris had opted to change first. Darren followed him back to his trailer to ditch his jacket and grab his guitar.

Chris emerged from the bathroom in a pair of tight jeans and a simple tshirt. Darren was strumming away, but he looked up when Chris emerged.

"Huh, weird."

"What's weird?" Chris looked down at himself, thinking there must be a sock or something stuck to him.

Darren shook his head. "I kinda miss the kilt."

Chris laughed. "Are you ready to go? I wanna try to get there before Mark spikes everything there is to drink."

Darren nodded. "Lets go"

They left Chris' trailer and made their way towards everyone else. Darren sat down and started playing along with the music on his guitar while everyone danced and just had a great time in general. Chris danced around with the girls for a while before grabbing some diet coke, which someone had conviniently poured for him already.

An hour later he was stumbling around, drunk as hell. Everyone else was too, so he wasn't sticking out too bad. The only person who didn't appear to be completely wasted was Darren. Chris had seen him down a beer, but nothing since. Currently, he was dancing with Jenna and Heather. Well, he was holding them up while they danced. Chris hadn't even noticed how good he was looking in that suit until right now. Chris was deep in thought when Ashley sat herself right next to him.

"Colfer, you're wasted."

He laughed. "No, YOU'RE wasted."

She shook her head and laughed some. "You deserve to let loose."

Chris nodded, still oggling Darren. Ashely caught his eye wondering and laughed.

"Chris, you should really be tapping that by now. I mean come on, he's clearly in to you in some way, and don't lie to me. You've been undressing him with your eyes for months."

Chris sighed. "But he's straight. Well, straightish. Its complicated."

"If you don't get in there, I will." she kissed his cheek and walked off towards Darren and talking to him for a few minutes. Darren nodded at her before excusing himself from dancing and walking towards Chris.

Chris looked at him, still sipping away on his diet coke. "Hey DC"

Darren smiled. "Hey man, you ready to get outta here? Ashley said everyone's heading home, and asked if I'd take you home."

Chris nodded. "Home sounds nice." He stood up, stumbling immediately, but Darren's arms held him up, and they eventually made it into Darren's car.

Darren was concentrating on the road. It was late, and he really didn't want to get pulled over with a wasted 20 year old in the car. The tension in his body evaporated the second they pulled up at Chris' place.

Chris smiled at Darren. "Thanks for the ride Darren, you should come upstairs."

Darren nodded. "Yeah, you're in no shape to walk up any stairs."

After some stumbling, Darren and Chris make it up to Chris' apartment.

Darren locks the door behind them. "Is it cool if I crash here tonight? Its so late, or early and I'm getting pretty tired."

Chris nodded. "Of course. Come, we'll share my bed."

Darren shook his head. "Chris, you take the bed. I'm perfectly content with the couch. I don't wanna crowd you."

Chris shook his head, grabbing Darren's arm and dragging him to the bedroom with him. "You're hobbit sized, I'm sure I can fit you in here with me." Chris let go of Darren and started taking his pants off and changing into sleep pants. He threw a pair at Darren, as well as a top.

Darren smiled. "Hey, thanks man. I seriously owe you more than you currently know."

Chris crawled into bed, followed by Darren. Without thinking, Chris pressed his lips to Darren's. It was sloppy, he almost missed Darren's lips completely. Darren returned the kiss before pulling away.

Chris turned off the light. "Night Darren, I love you."

Darren smiled a bit. "I love you too, Chris."

Darren laid there, staring at the ceiling for a bit, listening to Chris breathing. After he fell asleep, Darren had rested his head on Chris' shoulder.


Chris woke up first the next morning. He opened his eyes and shut them as soon as he realized how bright it was. Stupid sun. He felt someone move beside him. SOMEONE WAS IN HIS BED. Oh god. What had he done last night? They filmed prom, and then he changed, and he had a few diet cokes. And... What happened after that? How had he gotten home? Was he home?

He opened one of his eyes and shut it again. Yeah, he was home. In his bed, and he was wearing clothes. But who the hell as asleep next to him? He sighed and opened an eye again, seeing a big head of curly brown hair. Darren? What were him and Darren doing in bed together?

Darren's eyes opened a few minutes later and he slowly got up, trying not to wake Chris.

"Can you close the blinds?"

Darren jumped a bit. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

Chris shook his head. "Already awake. Sun hurts."

Darren laughed to himself and closed the blinds. "A little hungover, are we?"

Chris opened his eyes. "What the hell happened last night?"

"Well, there was some spiking of your drink. You've got Mark to thank for that, and then Ashley asked me to take you home, and I was tired so I crashed."

Chris sat up. "I'm going to kill Mark the next time I see him."

"Which will be in..." Darren glanced at the clock. "2 hours for the tour meeting."

Chris groaned. "That's today?" He stood up. "I need my shower."

Darren smiled. "I'll make some breakfast!"

Chris walked out of his room, fully showered and dressed a little while later. He'd opted for his sunglasses indoors to make the pain in his head subside a little bit.

Darren had cooked up just about everything in Chris' fridge for breakfast. Eggs, toast, fruit, coffee, even some eggo waffles.

Darren grinned as he entered the room. "Time for breakfast!"

Chris groaned. "All I want for breakfast is aspirin and diet coke."

Darren handed him the aspirin and a fresh can of diet coke. "You really should eat something, it'll make you less queasy. I promise."

Chris argued, but eventually started shovelling some scrambled eggs into his mouth.

"So...how much of last night do you remember, exactly?"

Chris shook his head. "I remember shooting the last scenes, changing out of my kilt, going to the party and reaching for a diet coke. I'm gonna kill Mark."

"Oh, so you don't remember any of me getting you home?"

Chris looked at him. "Oh god, Darren. Whatever I did or said, I'm sorry. I probably didn't mean it. What did I do?"

Darren laughed. "You didn't do or say anything, calm down. We should probably get going though, there's some traffic."


"I know you guys are anxious to get out of here, but we need to sort some stuff out for the tour. We need to start booking hotels and transportation, so I need everyone to pick a travel partner. We have room arrangements already worked out, but if you want to change those just let me know and I'll make sure it gets done. This year, we're pairing everyone up for safety reasons, and to save some money. Cory and Chord, Kevin and Harry, Jenna, Ashley and Amber, Naya and Heather, Lea and Dianna and Chris and Darren are the pairings we've made for you guys."

Ryan looked at Darren. "Are you okay with rooming with Chris? He's got a bit of a sleepwalking problem."

Darren looked at Chris and then back at Ryan. "I've spent plenty of nights at Chris' and he's never once slept walked."

Mark laughed. "I'll bet you have."

Chris shot Mark a glare before looking at Darren. "It only happens when I'm in an unfamiliar place. And with a new hotel every few days, its bound to happen. We can't have any balconies or opening windows cause knowing me, I'd end up jumping or something."

Darren nodded and looked at Ryan. "Yeah, I'm totally down. I barely sleep anyways."

Ryan wrote everything down and turned to Darren and Chris. "So, on tour, Blaine's gonna be with New Directions, which means we're gonna have Kurt ask Blaine to join Glee Club at every show. We worked out a little dialogue that you guys can use at every show..." he pulled out a few sheets of paper from his bag and handed one copy to each of them.

Darren stuck his hand up in the air, causing Chris to burst out laughing, he was such a 5 year old sometimes. Ryan glanced over and nodded at him.

"What if Chris and I worked on a dialogue for every city? I'm sure everyone'll look it up on youtube and see the others, and it would be cool to change things up a little bit every night." Darren smiled.

Ryan thought about it for a minute and nodded. "If you guys wanna do that, you'll have to come up with one for each city and get us a list of all the things you're gonna say, just so we can okay everything."

Chris shrugged. "Shouldn't take too long."

Ryan wrapped up the meeting and let everyone go.

Chris approached Darren. "Listen, if you'd rather room with someone else, I'll totally understand. After everything last year, I ended up rooming with Cory for the rest of the trip and he said he'd room with me this year if no one else would take me."

Darren shook his head and smiled. "Don't be dumb, I'm rooming with you. Besides, if we don't room together, who am I gonna watch Disney movies and cuddle with? And we're gonna have to practice our little skits every night!"


Chris wasn't tired, and they'd already watched a movie, so he grabbed his laptop.

"We're making this list now."

Darren sat up. "Now? Aren't you tired?"

Chris shook his head. "Nope. I could stay up all night." he flicked on his ipod dock and put it on shuffle. "Lets get to work." Chris glanced at Darren. "Unless you're afraid mine are gonna be better than yours."

Darren laughed. "Oh, its on. We're gonna need a lot for some cities. Like Toronto, we've got 4 shows there. And I've never been."

"But you know some stuff about Canada in general."

Darren shook his head. "Nothing more than they have moose and beavers and snow and maple syrup."

Chris laughed. "And let me guess, you know Winnipeg is there?"

Darren grinned. "Pretty much. And Toronto! Its there too."

"I guess its a good thing we've got the internet then."

They stayed up all night working on their little skits and joking back and forth. They turned in the list the very next day.
