Hey guys, my phone was being stupid (again) so when i tried to download this on the computer, it wouldnt go into a word document so im REALLy sorry if there are any grammatical errors or spelling issues. I've read over it so it shouldn't be too bad. Also this is a pretty short one so again, im sorry :/
Tonight. Tonight would be the night, Chris hoped, that he would make Darren his. The Teens Choice Awards were on tonight and Chris had a feeling that tonight would be the most perfect night.
Chris looked at himself in the mirror one last time, brushing a hand over his perfectly coifed hair with a touch lighter than a feather. He knew that tonight Mia would be there and although Darren and Mia had broken up, they had apparently decided to stay friends, much to Chris' annoyance. That would just make things harder. He was nominated for two awards, and although they nominations were exciting, he was more focused on what might happen after all the awards had been given out.
Chris arrived on the pink carpet (oh Darren would love this!) and made his way over to the fans, signing pictures and getting his photo taken. There were a few photographers there but as it was a teen choice awards, not exactly a high profile event, it wasn't like everyone was screaming to get a shot.
After the photos, the autographs, and the numerous photos that Darren seemed to take with the blonde chick, very close photos, they were finally seated in the arena. One Direction was going to be there performing, he knew that much. He was excited for them! He had always liked the boys and was impressed that they had managed to get so far! Although, he looked at Louis from across the room, it wasn't hard when you were that good looking!
If Chris turned his head far enough, he could make out Darren, Mia and Chord behind him, Mia of course sitting with Darren. It wasn't like she had explicitly done anything to make him dislike her, it was just sorta the fact that he even knew she existed that was the problem. He turned back around facing the front with a slightly disgruntled look on his face.
That night, after the awards, Chris sidled up next to Darren, who had previously been standing awkwardly next to Mia while Chord was talking. It was like an endless stream of words and Chris could tell that Darren wasnt listening.
'Hey guys!' Chris decided to interrupt Chords monologue.
'Oh hey, enjoying the awards?' Darren asked, clearly relieved that someone had interrupted.
'Yeah they're heaps of fun!' Darren nodded in reply and the whole group became silent. Chris put his hands in his pocket awkwardly, trying to think of something to say.
'How good was One Direction!' He said suddenly, making Mia jump. Darren and Chord seemed to grab onto the thread for conversation.
'Oh yeah they were awesome! Absolutely incredible' They said.
'I know! And how pretty was Taylor Swift's dress?!' Mia had apparently decided to join the conversation, thus making it awkward again. She seemed to realise this and made to fix it. 'You know what? Im just gonna go, I- ah, I might see you later Darren. Bye guys.' And walked off. Chord looked at me, a knowing smile on his face.
'Hows it going between you two anyways?' He said, referring to Darren and Mia.
'Yea, we've decided to try to stay friends but its just awkward now that we've seen each others... Bits.' Both Chris and Chord laughed at Darrens sudden modesty. 'But I dont think its going to work. Honestly I don't really want to stay friends, it was her idea. Its just still a bit painful. But what am I going to do ya' know?' He sighed heavily. Chris knew how hard Darren had taken the breakup. Darren still hadn't seen fit to tell him why they broke up but Chris knew that Darren loved her. He just didn't know whether he was IN love with her. Darren looked noticeably down.
'Did you and Mia catch separate rides?' Chris asked suddenly, hoping to talk to Darren alone.
'Yea, I got driven, she drove herself I think.'
'Okay, well tell your driver that you're getting home a different way. I think i have just the thing to cheer you up.' I grinned as Chord looked at me questioningly.
'Oh my god you're not taking me to a strip club are you?' Darren looked considerably worried and I laughed.
'No, but we're going back to my place.' At this Chord, who had been silent the whole time raised an eyebrow.
'Is this a conversation I should be here for?' Chord asked, but look in his eyes told me he was joking.
'Kay, I'll be back in a sec' Darren said before he walked off. Chord just looked at me the whole time and he didnt need words to tell me exactly what he was thinking.
'Oh shush you!' I told him and slapped his arm playfully.
As Darren walked off, he could see Mia's car driving off and he felt a pang in his heart as he realised he would probably never initiate another conversation with her again. He hadn't told her why he wanted to breakup. He simply told her that things weren't quite working out for him at the moment. And that was so close to the truth. He ran his hand through his untamed curls, enjoying the feeling of his hair running through his fingers. He quickly found his driver waiting in the parking lot, talking to some of the other drivers. Darren quickly walked up and told him he was staying at Chris', probably for the night if previous experiences were anything to go by. His drive grinned slyly and winked at him.
'No! Its not- we're not. We're not going to have sex!' He exclaimed rather loudly.
'Oh, okay then. Sure.' Darren looked at him speechless. Why did everyone think he and Chris were going to sleep together?! The fans, well, fans would be fans and would latch onto anything CrissColfer, but Chord? His driver even? Darren shook his head in disbelief as he walked back to Chris and Chord who were having a mutual discussion.
'Okay, I'm all set.' He said as he came back up to them.
'Cool, alright, we'll see you next week.' Chris said brightly to Chord.
They walked back to the car together in comfortable silence. But why did Chris ask me over? Darren kept thinking over and over again. But maybe it could be the right time to ask him about... It. Yeah. Tonight he would finally have to talk to Chris about it. The dream from other night was all too fresh in his mind and he couldnt help but feel the tingles of arousal when he thought about it. Blushing slightly, he looked up as the car came to a stop and he saw that they were at Chris' apartment.
Chris opened the door and stepped inside, he knee Darren was right behind him. Chris could feel his breath on the back of his neck. He went straight to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.
'You want any?' He said to Darren, gesturing towards the tea cup. Darren shook his head as an answer. Not trusting his voice he was so nervous. Chris gave him a questioning look but he pretended like he didnt see it. Chris walked to the couch in the next room and Darren followed him, collapsing on the couch in a heap. Chris laughed at his exhaustion and neatly sat down, crossing his right leg over his left. Darren watched as he put his tea cup on the table and turned to Darren. Before he knew it, a conversation had started and Chris hand was resting lightly on his leg, as usual. Darren got a burst of courage and decided to take advantage of it before it disappeared again.
'Hey Chris?' He asked, interrupting what Chris was saying but in that moment he didnt care.
'Yeah, whats up?'
'I ah, I need to talk to you about something.'
Chris looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to continue. Darren looked torn up inside. Whatever it was must have been troubling. It was completely un-Darren like to talk about something serious. Darren ran his hand through his hair a couple of times. A nervous habit, Chris knew. He took a deep breath, his eyes watering as he looked at Chris with raw honesty and pain.
'Chris...
I think I'm gay...'
So I hope that wasnt too bad! Please review, it makes me feel good and it makes me want to write more :) i think im going to go watch AVPM again hahaha
