"Please welcome, Mr Darren Criss!" the interviewer said as the crowd erupted in cheers and Darren walked out onto the set.
"Hi!" he said enthusiastically as he shook the hand of the male interviewer
"Hi there! well lets start. i bet it brings back memories of your glee days being back here huh?"
"yes it does, but most of them were the best days of my life so it brings back happy memories"
"so you had fun filming glee then? do you still stay in contact with the people you worked with there?"
"yes i had fun and most defiantly, i mean, were a family and always will be so of course we stayed in contact"
"so you see them a lot?"
"yeah to be honest i saw them yesterday and I'm hoping to see one of them today actually"
"that's good then, so who are you closest too from glee?"
"who am i closest too, that's hard really because were all really close, but i will have to say, at this moment in time, probably Lea, she is so down to earth and she's one of those people i can trust with anything"
"really? i thought you would say Chris"
"err yeah me and Chris are close but he has been in London for the past 2 years and its been hard to keep steady relationships with the distance, work, time zones and everything but yeah i would still consider him one of my best friends"
"but surely that must change soon as he has just moved back to LA right? do you think you will go back to how it was before?"
"yeah he moved back, i think it was Thursday, I'm not really sure how things are going to go, i mean we haven't seen each other in 2 years so obviously things are going to be different but i really hope they will go back to normal but then i hope they will change aswell. we had creases in out friendship back when we worked together but now i hope we can iron them out and go back to normal"
"good good, so your new album is coming out soon yes?"
"yeah it actually comes out on Friday"
"so what's different about this album?"
"well before i was kind of getting my feet on the ground and figuring out my own style of music, also on previous albums my songs were written for me, but this album i think i have found my sound and i wrote all the songs myself, they all mean something to me and they all come from a place in my heart. there are songs for specific people on there, they actually don't know about this yet so when they hear them it should be a surprise, a good one i hope. they should know the song is about them when they hear it though"
"so what's your favorite song off the album?"
"its got to be Not Along, it was written about someone really really special to me, and I'm going to sing it at my concert later, if you anyone wants to come, check my tweets, its free so you are all welcome to join me"
when they had finished chatting about past, present and future projects Darren left and made his way to the park to set up for the concert that was happening in 20 minutes, then he heard his phone buzz, it was Chris
I'm coming, will be there in 5, see you after?
he felt a pull on his heartstrings as he replied.
Awesome! and yeah sure, at the end just come backstage i will tell Ricky your coming, he will let you back, then do you wanna grab some food and talk?
he sat still and waited for a reply, it came relatively quickly.
okay and sure sounds good, see you after the concert
he felt inclined to text him again but didn't know what to say
make sure your listening carefully
SUNDAY 27TH MAY 2013 11:55AM PARK
what does he mean listen carefully, obviously I'm going to listen, but is that a sign, is he going to do some thing stupid?
these thoughts were going through Chris's head like they were on a conveyor belt until the minute Darren walked on stage. then his mind went blank and he was there, listening to every bit of music Darren played and every word he said. Darren had been playing for 2 and a half hours and he was coming to the end of his set.
"thank you everyone who came out today to see me, thank you for all the support you are giving me and i love you all! right I'm going to play one more song. this song is so special to me because its about someone really dear to my heart. i wrote it at a specific time in my life that was really hard on me and some people around me. well that's enough and that person should know this song is about them"
Chris' mind returned to where is was before
this is it, this song is about me! he thought, he sat there mesmerized as Darren sat down at his piano and started playing the opening chords
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize
Baby I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through
"thankyou everyone, i love you all! goodnight!" and Darren walked off stage
Chris was still standing there shocked at the song, it was so beautiful and it was about him. wait maybe it wasn't about him. he didn't know, surely Darren didn't love him, he was straight. he had to go and see Darren straight away and talk so he hurriedly made his way to the tent that had been put up behind the stage. Ricky (Darren's manager) saw Chris making his way towards the tent and let him in straight away pointing to where Darren was wiping his face with a towel. Chris started to make his way over to Darren, Darren looked so sexy, all sweaty and pure, Chris had missed this. then Darren turned around and saw Chris
"hi, great show" Chris said quietly
"hi, thanks for coming glad you enjoyed it. come on i got my car out there, lets go talk" Darren said as he led Chris out of the tent and towards his car. when they got in Chris started to speak.
"that song Darren, the last one. what?"
"you realized it was for you then, i didn't know if i had said enough to make you notice it was for you but I'm glad you did" Darren said as he turned in his seat to face Chris
"why?"
"because its true, every word of that song i meant, i just hope you realize the message i was trying to tell you"
"well i don't think i got the message right because it sounded like you were telling me you loved me, romantically. and we both know that not true" Chris whispered as he turned to face Darren
"do we?" was Darren's reply. Chris stayed quiet not knowing what to say so Darren continued
"Chris, when you left i did a lot of thinking. i realized that i need you, the past two years without you have been hell and i really don't know how i survived. i have discovered feelings that i have never felt for anyone other than you Chris, i tried to tell you while you were in London, but i couldn't do it over email, if i was going to do it and it couldn't be face to face i had to do it over the phone, but i couldn't get hold of you so i couldn't tell you. what I'm trying to say is that i love you Chris, and i know you are probably going to hate me and wonder why i didn't tell you when you told me and that's because well... you know the phase 'you don't know what you have until its gone' well its true. i guess i never realized it about you until you were gone as we spent nearly every minute of every day together i just didn't notice it, but i know it now, more than ever, i love you Christopher Colfer, i want to be with you, I'm gay, you are the most amazing and beautiful person i have ever met and i want to be with you forever, i want to be yours and only ever yours, if you will take me"
Chris was sitting there shocked, tears pooling in his eyes
"that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me" he whispered wiping away some tears that were falling down his cheeks
"and i meant every single word of it, really and truly Chris"
"why didn't you say this the other night?"
"i didn't think it was right for me to say it then, i wanted to tell you as soon as possible just not in the middle of an argument"
"i understand, I'm just really shocked, i cant believe this, its the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me and to have you say it to me is all I've ever wanted" Chris said as Darren reached out and wiped a falling tear from Chris' face.
"come on lets go back to my place and finish our conversation there, it may be a bit more private"
"ok" was all Chris could manage to say. the whole drive back to Darren's apartment was silent but it wasn't awkward, Chris kept his eyes fixed on Darren until they parked. when they did, they jumped out of the car and swiftly walked towards the doors, they got into the elevator and made their way to Darren's front door, keeping a suitable distance between them. they dot into the apartment and went to sit on Darren's couch
"do you truly and honestly mean what you said, every single word?" Chris asked after they had both sat in silence for a short while. Darren turned to face Chris and took his hands
"i have meant them since the day you left and will mean them until the day we both die. i love you Chris and I'm stupid for not realizing earlier"
"your not stupid"
"i should of told you the minute i found out, i should of jumped on a plane and flew to England to tell you"
"no you shouldn't have, it would of made it worse, we needed distance to think about everything that had happened" Chris looked down at their linked hands
"you feel differently don't you. I'm so stupid! it was two years ago! I'm so stupid for thinking that you would still feel the same about me!"
"i do, i still love you Darren, always have, and i seem to think i always will" Chris whispered as he leaned in to kiss Darren. it was passionate but soft, it wasn't forced. Darren quickly responded and cupped Chris' face with his hand as Chris moved his arms around Darren's neck. as they pulled away they kept their foreheads locked together
"be mine" Chris whispered looking deeply into Darren's eyes
"always and forever" Darren replied kissing Chris passionately once more.
