Thank you guys so much for all the reviews and everything! I've been writing this story since just after they finished filming the prom episode. I'm trying to stay as close to reality as possible regarding dates and all that, but if I go a little off course, please forgive me.

They were only on their fifth night of the tour when Darren woke up to Chris on his laptop.

"Chris, what are you doing?" He flicked on the light and crawled out of bed. He sat down on Chris' bed and glanced at his screen.

"Chris, its 4 am. Do you really need to be on amazon right now?"

Chris didn't answer again, and kept browsing. It took a few minutes before Darren clued in.

"Hey, Chris! You're totally doing that sleep thing, aren't you? Its so weird...its like you're awake." Darren took the computer and put it on the desk across the room and got Chris to lay down again. His eyes closed and he seemed to be asleep again, but Darren wanted to make sure, so he turned the light off again and laid down next to him, just watching him sleep.

Darren was up before Chris the next morning. He showered, got dressed and started the coffee maker before the alarm clock went off and Chris crawled out of bed.

Chris walked over to the little couch and plopped himself down. "I am so exhausted, its not even possible I'm awake right now."

Darren laughed. "Might have something to do with your 4 am shopping spree."

Chris looked at him. "I was shopping?"

Darren nodded. "Amazon at 4 am. Don't worry, I took the computer away before you actually bought anything. It was freaky. I totally thought you were awake."

"I warned you. I do weird things. That's how I got my chewie backpack."

Darren laughed. "Well, that's probably why you're so tired. We're supposed to meet everyone for breakfast, but if you wanna go back to sleep, I can order us some room service and I'll watch a movie or something."

Chris shook his head. "I don't think I can go back to sleep. Not now anyways. We've got a break after rehearsal though. I'll grab a few hours then."

Darren smiled. "You're such a trooper. Now go get ready, we're gonna be late."

An hour later, they were sitting in the lobby waiting on Naya and Dianna. Everyone had gone out for a few drinks the night before with the exception of Chris and Darren, and Naya and Dianna were the worst off.

"Dianna spent the night on the bathroom floor. I had to beg Cory and Chord to let me in to their bathroom so I could get ready this morning." Lea had been talking his ear off for the past ten minutes, and Chris had barely heard a word.

"Chris, are you listening?"

He looked at her and sighed. "Sorry. I spent my night shopping again."

Lea's face fell a bit. "Again? Honey, maybe you should talk to Ryan and get some sleeping pills or something. You know how bad it got last year, and last year you didn't have a gorgeous man sleeping in the same room!" She smiled at Cory. "No offense."

Chris laughed. "Lea, I'm fine sharing a room with Darren. Before the tour started, he was practically living at my place anyways. If it gets worse, I'll get the damn sleeping pills."

"He stays over a lot, does he?" Lea had an evil little smirk on her face. Chris knew that smirk. He'd gotten it every time he talked to a guy in her presence.

"Yeah, we're friends. And his apartment is horrible. I keep telling him that he needs to take some of the money from the show and get himself a new apartment."

Cory grinned. "Or he could just move in with you."

Chris laughed. "Sure. Darren can move in. That's fine."

Lea smiled. "Chris, we're serious. You've got an extra room, and he spends so much time there anyways."

"Okay, its a nice idea...but what if I start dating some guy and..." he trailed off and blushed. He was always blushing like that, it drove Chris nuts.

"I don't think that would weird at all. You've said it yourself, Darren is insanely open and accepting of everything and everyone. I don't see him cringing just cause you're getting some." she smiled. "All I'm saying, is that its something to think about. Run it past him, maybe he's not even looking to leave his apartment."

Chris nodded, and spotted Naya and Dianna exiting the elevators. Saved by the bell.

They finally got back to their room and Chris collapsed into his bed, mumbling something.

Darren closed the door behind him and dropped his bag on the floor. "Sorry, didn't quite catch that."

Chris flipped over. "That was the rehearsal that would not end."

Darren laughed and nodded. "It did seem a bit longer than normal, but that's because most of cast is hung over from last night."

Chris nodded. "Probably."

Chris was quiet for a while, long enough, Darren thought he was for sure asleep, but then he suddenly sighed.

"I can't fucking sleep."

Darren closed the blinds and sat on the edge of his bed. "Count sheep."

"Darren, counting stimulates your brain."

"Okay, well when you were little and couldn't sleep, what would you do?"

Chris shrugged. "My mom would lay with me until I fell asleep."

Darren kicked off his shoes. "Alright." he laid down next to Chris. "Like this?"

Chris shook his head and scooted closer, laying his head on Darren's shoulder. "Like this."

Darren smiled some and wrapped his arm around Chris. "Get some sleep."

It only took a few minutes for Chris to doze off. Darren watched him sleep for a few minutes before gently pressing a kiss to his hair and closing his own eyes.

Darren was wrapped around Chris on the bed when he was woken up by some really loud banging on the door. He scrambled to open it before they woke Chris. He was a little shocked to see Ashley and Mark standing there.

"Its about time! Are you guys ready to go?"

"Go? Go where?" Darren ran a hand through his hair, closing the door after them.

Ashley laughed. "You're joking, right? The concert? The one we're leaving for in 10 minutes?"

"Oh shit!" He ran over to the bed and started waking Chris up. "Chris! CHRIS! Come on man, we didn't set an alarm or anything. The show's in 10 minutes."

Chris shot up like a bullet. "Ten minutes? How is that even possible?" he started running around and getting his stuff together.

Darren was doing the same, throwing his stuff at Chris and catching the stuff Chris was throwing at him. They were out the door 5 minutes later and on their way downstairs. The elevator was full, so Darren and Chris went down first, leaving Ashley and Mark waiting for the next one.

Darren glanced over at Chris who was trying to fix his hair. "Chris, you look great, stop playing with your hair."

"I didn't even get to look in the mirror."

"I know, I'm sorry I fell asleep."

Chris looked at him. "Darren...don't be sorry. If you hadn't been such a willing cuddle participant I'd still be exhausted. I'm actually quite well rested now. Thank you."

Darren smiled some. "Anytime. I actually slept really well too, better than I have in weeks."

Chris smiled at him. "Well that's because I'm magical."

They stepped out of the elevator when it reached the lobby to find the rest of the cast (minus Ashley and Mark) staring at them with knowing glances. Darren didn't seem to notice and pulled out his phone to play Angry Birds. Lea grinned at Chris and pulled him aside.

"You totally did it."

Chris rolled his eyes. "Lea, I was too tired to change out of my clothes from earlier, much less anything else. All we did was sleep. Darren fell asleep without setting an alarm. That's it."

Lea smiled. "Whatever you say. Although, none of us believe you."

Mark and Ashley exited the elevator and everyone took off for the show.
