This chapter is so insanely late, I'm sorry guys! But its here now! And can I just say how awesome you guys are? Sometimes it just hits me that people are actually reading this and I get really crazy happy. And more and more of you have been finding me on tumblr and following me, which is awesome! Enjoy! Oh yeah, its ridiculously fluffy.
Chris walked into his and Darren's bedroom to see Darren laying on the bed, typing away on his laptop.
"Ryan called."
Darren looked up immediately, not saying a word.
Chris smiled. "We're moving to New York."
Darren hopped off the bed. "You're not bullshitting me again, are you? Cause the first three times were really mean."
Chris shook his head, still smiling. "I'm not this time, I promise. I swear on every curl on your head."
Darren smiled. "Well, I know you love the curls." He started jumping up and down. "We're really moving to New York?"
Chris laughed, jumping with him. "We are!"
Darren hugged Chris tight against his chest. "This is so exciting!"
Chris smiled, wrapping his arms around Darren's neck. "I know." He reached just under the collar of Darren's shirt and undid the necklace he'd gotten to hold his ring. He pulled out of Darren's embrace and got down on one knee, holding the necklace and ring in his hand.
Chris smiled up at Darren. "I didn't buy this ring to randomly give to you. I bought it so that when we finally got the call saying that we were moving to New York, we could move there as a soon-to-be-married couple. I could kneel here for hours, talking about how much I love you and it would never be enough. And you know, these jeans are really tight, so I'm not gonna do that."
Darren laughed, tears in his eyes as he listened.
"I never thought the day would come where I'd be this in love, and this happy with another person. You made me see how bright the world was. You saved me, just as you have millions of others. We've been through the good, and the bad, and you've stuck by my side through it all. So, Darren Warbler..." Chris smiled. "Will you join glee club?"
Darren laughed. "You know, I've always wanted to do something that the Warblers never let me do..."
"Wear another blazer?"
Darren kneeled down. "We've been through this. You love that blazer."
Chris smiled. "Darren, will you marry me?"
Darren captured Chris' lips in a passionate kiss before pulling away. "I thought you'd never ask."
So now the big question was when to tell everyone. They'd been wearing the rings forever, so its not like they'd notice those.
They'd taken turns calling and telling their families, but the cast was different. No one would contacted their families for interviews. The cast was contacted daily, and recently they'd been asked all kinds of questions about relationships within the cast, especially Chris and Darren's. Telling their closest friends also meant making it possible for them to slip.
They'd decided on a wedding in New York on New Years Eve, which was forever away, but Chris was set on planning the whole thing as soon as possible, which meant they had to tell everyone. He knew that Ashley made plans for New Years months in advance, as did Amber. So they held another party.
After dinner, Darren stood up at the table to give a toast. "I stood up in front of everyone almost a year ago and explained to you all how much I loved Chris. Nothing's changed, except that now I fully understand that love. Chris is a lot better at words than I am, but what we want to tell you all, is that we're engaged." He grinned down at Chris, who was beaming back up at him. "And we're moving to New York."
Chris nodded. "And you'd better not have plans for New Years, because that's when we're getting married."
All the guys slapped Darren on the back in congradulations, while the girls squeeled with joy and hugged each other, as well as Chris, and eventually Darren.
Darren hit his glass over the rowdiness of the table once everyone had sat back down. "There's a catch though."
Chris nodded. "We don't want the entire world knowing yet. So no tweeting, no mentioning it in interviews, none of that."
Cory nodded. "I think the only one who would slip up is me...and I can avoid interviews for a little while."
Chris laughed. "Think you can manage 2 weeks? We schedualed an interview then."
Cory smiled. "Avoiding interviews for 2 weeks? That's pretty awesome if you ask me. Can you guys get engaged more often?"
Lea shook her head. "Chris, I'm never going to forgive you for this."
Everyone looked at her, clearly confused.
"He's getting married before I am, and in New York, AND on New Years Eve. That's what I wanted to do!"
Darren laughed. "Well why don't you get Theo to commit and we'll make it a double ceremony."
Lea stared at him as if he'd slapped her in the face. "A double ceremony?" She grabbed her glass of wine and took a sip before shaking her head. "He must be really good in bed or something."
Darren nodded. "I am, don't worry." He grinned at Lea before turning back to Chris and kissing him quickly on the lips.
Darren was sitting in the radio station's booth by himself two weeks later. The interviewer had introduced himself as Roger. He was a nice guy, as far as Darren could tell.
"Well, welcome to the show Darren. We're glad you could be here."
"Me too! I'm glad you guys were willing to let me into the building."
Roger laughed. "Not a problem. So I've been told that you have a little announcement."
Darren nodded. "I do, I do. But first I want to talk about the Glee Live tour this summer. I've been getting a lot of tweets about who's going and who's not this year, and I just want to address that. Chris and I will not be heading out on tour this year. There's a whole new cast going along, and we felt that it was important to give them their chance. But don't get too bummed out, cause we've got some pretty cool stuff coming your way in the next few weeks."
Roger smiled. "Well you guys heard it here first! No Klaine at Glee Live this year!" he paused for a minute. "So, I know Chris was supposed to be joining us, what happened?"
"He was called away from some last minute meetings, but he said he'd try to phone in while we're on the air." On cue, Darren glanced at the caller ID and smiled at Roger, nodding.
"Wow, look at that timing! Chris Colfer, you're on the air, my friend."
Chris' voice filled up the room. "Hi!"
Roger laughed. "Hi, welcome to the Roger Ranger show!"
"Its good to be here! Listen, I have a bit of a big question for Darren there, do you mind if I just pop it?"
Roger shook his head. "Not at all, ask away."
Chris smiled. "Darren, you're my best friend. You're more than that, you're my everything. And I'm so happy that I've gotten to spend this much time with you. But I'm pretty sure the magic's gone..."
Darren gasped. "Chris...you're not saying what I think you're saying?" He winked at Roger.
Chris sighed. "What I'm saying is that I think we should get married."
"Wow, Chris...are you proposing?"
"I am...are you accepting?'
"I am, but I feel like we should ask some people. What does twitter think?'
Darren grabbed his phone. "Well, it won't load...so I'm thinking that's a good sign." He laughed. "Of course I'll marry you!"
"That was officially the worst acting either of us have done."
Chris laughed. "You don't have to tell me. It was so bad, I'm surprised neither of us got fired."
"Its not like Ryan can have this new show without Kurt and Blaine."
"Exactly." Chris laughed through the phone. "Darren, you should see the internet right now."
Darren laughed again. "Oh, I know. I was looking through stuff before you called. Twitter, tumblr, a few others...they're all just broken."
"We broke the internet!"
"You know what would just drive people nuts?"
"Oh god, here you go again. There's a reason people call you a life ruiner."
Darren laughed. "I'll be home in a few minutes, but I need my phone. Just watch twitter."
He hung up and started writing away on his phone. The car pulled up at the house a few minutes later and he got out, heading inside. There were a lot of boxes sitting in the living room. They'd decided to keep the house, and just rent something in New York until they saw how the show was doing. They were leaving most of the furniture and decor behind, so there wasn't a lot of packing to be done. Mostly clothes.
"I'm home!"
Chris called back from their room upstairs. "Up here!"
Darren ran upstairs, dropping his bag in his office space before walking into the room. "Did you see it? Did you?"
Chris laughed. "No, I left my phone on the dresser."
Darren grabbed the phone before jumping on the bed. "Here!"
Chris laughed again. "Alright Mr Puppy, calm down." He clicked around on his phone before laughing. "Really Darren? "I guess (at)chriscolfer won't be taking my last name" You are going to kill the fangirls!"
"I'm not going to kill them! I'm just stating facts. You can't take my last name, cause then you'd be Chris Criss! Or Chris Colfer-Criss."
Chris shook his head. "You're insane. We can keep our names and just be married. It happens all the time."
"I was kind of hoping I could take your name. Darren Colfer, I think it has a nice ring to it."
Chris looked at him. "Seriously?"
Darren nodded. "I don't want there to be any doubt about this. I'm marrying you, and I plan on showing that off as long as possible."
Chris smiled. "If the fangirls had any idea how adorably romantic you are, they'd just die, you know that, right?"
Darren shrugged. "I'm pretty sure they already know. And I have yet to actually cause death to a fangirl!"
Chris shook his head and looked back at his computer. Darren got up and slid out of his jeans and into some looser sweat pants. He heard his phone chime and grabbed it before falling onto their bed smiling. "Now who's killing the fangirls?"
Chris smiled. "Who? Me?"
" ' (at)darrencriss guess that makes you darren colfer! ;)' As a fanboy, I can tell you that seeing your favourite couple flirtatiously tweeting back and forth like this is enough to make you explode."
Chris laughed. "I love that you're a fanboy."
Darren smiled, moving closer to Chris. "I love that you love that I'm a fanboy."
Chris closed the laptop, wraping his arms around Darren's neck. "I love that you love that I love that you're a fanboy."
Darren smiled and kissed Chris. "I love you."
Chris smiled. "I love you too."
I told you it was fluffy! So a lot of stuff was happening when I was writing this. New York had just passed the bill thingy for the right for same sex marriage (or as I like to call it...marriage) and then a little while later, there was the whole CrissColfer interview that never happened. Well, it happens here! fanfic dot net kind of hates links apparently, and I had some in the last chapter. Just links to the rings I'd found, and in case anyone didn't get to see those and was interested, just send me a message on here or on tumblr and I'll send the links along!
And finally, we really are nearing the end of the story I've got going here. I've got 2 chapters waiting to be uploaded and fine tuned, and I'm currently writing that I think will be the last chapter. Just a heads up! THANKS FOR READING! I'll update again soon :)
